A vision of a modern Tenochtitlan in 2026, in a timeline where the Aztec Empire repelled Spanish conquest and modernized on its own terms.

🚨 BREAKING: Real Madrid have BROKEN the ALL-TIME record for most goals scored by a club in a single World Cup tournament.

A Brown professor gave his students a take-home midterm exam. After suspecting many cheated using AI, he made the final in-person. The orange dots are the midterm scores and the gray dots are the final scores. Looks like all but 3 cheated on the midterm.

Overall, this was a fun project to tinker around with Machine Learning!

It’s the World Cup time, and as someone who grew up playing soccer and also is a massive fan, I decided to build an Machine Learning Model to predict the winner of this 2026 World Cup past the group stages and into the knockouts!

Does it actually work? On random matches it is right 61% of the time; solid for a game like fútbol. The log-loss, the function to penalize wrong decisions fell from ~1.05 with no features to ~0.86, a respectable result.

That Samurai Ronaldo era was just different.

[Ororo😎 @McFlybowy]

This is the reality of Messi and Ronaldo’s careers for the past 15 years, by the way, one scores a hat-trick and immediately the pressure shifts onto the other to respond. And guess what? The other always does. Two monsters

And that’s the part we don’t appreciate enough. It wasn’t just greatness in isolation, it was a constant cycle of response, like two peak athletes refusing to let the standard drop for even a week. If Messi raised the bar with a masterclass, Ronaldo would answer with goals the very next match. If Ronaldo went on a scoring run, Messi would do the same.

They didn’t just compete with opponents, they competed with each other across leagues, countries, and seasons. and even when they weren’t playing the same fixtures, the narrative always connected them. Now everyone is patiently waiting for Ronaldo.

That’s why their era feels so heavy now. Because you weren’t just watching two legends, you were watching two players who constantly forced perfection out of each other.

Let’s enjoy the ride for the last time.

The World Cup absolutely mogs every other sporting event. It’s what the Olympics wishes it was X100.

You’ve got Europeans road-tripping across America and having their minds blown by Buc-ee’s and Bass Pro Shops. You’ve got a small Kansas town falling in love with an Algerian club that chose Kansas City as their homebase. You’ve got South Korea training in Utah to prepare for the altitude in Guadalajara.

For one month, the whole world forgets we’re supposed to hate each other over differences that barely matter. It’s the closest thing we have to world peace.
