Al Capone issues stark warning on the devastating impact of legalizing alcohol

[David Burge @iowahawkblog]

The fact of the matter is Indiana had half of Alabama's NIL budget, a roster full of FCS transfers no SEC program would sniff at, and still beat Bama like a rented mule. That's not destroying CFB, that's saving it

Social media is increasingly anti-social

Only 7% of Instagram time & 17% of Facebook time is spent on content from friends or followed accounts. The rest is algorithmic video from strangers.

This is what happens when you condition algorithms on looking time rather than real social engagement. TikTok set the template; everyone copied it.

And over half of the long posts on Meta are written by AI. People are not engaging, or even creating the content on those platforms anymore.

Real human content and conversation has migrated away from these platforms to substack, discord, etc. https://t.co/qQzCIsxtPS

This is the kind of thing those more skeptical of pharmaceutical industry would say can't happen because they won't invent things that reduce the need for drugs long-term

[Ashley Schapitl @AshleySchapitl]

Pharma has really delivered miracles the last several years—it will be interesting to see how this impacts our health policy debates going forward.

Just a reminder that Jack Campbell is the best LB in the National Football League 🏆

[hawkize @stillnothawkize]

Make sure to get your tickets for part two

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

The #Lions and star LB Jack Campbell have agreed to terms on a 4-year deal, source said. No fifth-year option, just a big money contract instead.

Still convinced Iowa beats Indiana if Mark Gronowski doesn’t get injured on this play

[Rob Sand @RobSandIA]

Most already know that being thrifty is a Sand family tradition. But just in case you didn't, we decided to remind you in our second TV ad.

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

This is legitimately insane.

Banning cell phones in schools might turn out to be the best thing we’ve done for our kids in a generation.
