Stephen, are you aware of what Arnold Palmer himself thought of Donald Trump? But nice try at spinning Trump's wild rambling.

The news system we have is not designed for human understanding. It's designed to produce content every day.
That's one part of the reason.
Hillary Clinton, on with @maddow, can’t understand why “it’s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.” And neither can I.

you would think “starring Oscar Isaac as Jesus Christ” would be the weirdest part but nope
I just heard that Frankie Beverly passed. What a legend. Thanks for all the wonderful songs, Mr. Beverly.

NIL deals have changed college sports -- and the lives of college athletes. But all that money has big tax implications, for both athletes and donors. This overview is pretty interesting -- I learned a lot.

Hey reporters -- anyone interested in a study that raises serious concerns about organizations that claim to provide residential opioid substance use services? (Turns out most of them aren't licensed to do so?) Hit me up, happy to share paper, etc.

ALT The image summarizes a National Association of Science Writers conference session called "Tools, toys, or trouble: Can AI help science communicators?" on Sunday, November 10th. Other text includes: "The arrival of ChatGPT and other large language models has sparked endless questions for science communicators in press offices and newsrooms. AI-driven image and video generators have added even more uncertainty. Yet, thus far, success has been limited and questions keep multiplying. Will generative AI ever be accurate and dependable enough to be practically useful? How might these tools improve – or worsen – relationships between communications offices and reporters? What will AI's impact be on the disparities already prevalent in science writing?
When people say Trump is a liar, that's not a moral judgment. It's a verifiable fact. A recent speech by Trump included 162(!) misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies in 64 minutes. That's more than two lies per minute.

U.S. Olympians are using their trip to the Olympics to get the basic preventative healthcare they can’t afford to get in the U.S.
We should be embarrassed that we’re the only industrialized country without universal healthcare — all because lobbyists pay off our politicians.

You just became Pakistan's first ever athletics Olympic champion. 🇵🇰🥹
It’s also a song about being willing to fight to hold the country together, yes?
Question for folks who oppose making tampons freely available to young women in public school restrooms: Do you also oppose making toilet paper freely available in public school restrooms?
