Abdi Nur with the PB out of the 1500 B Race at LA Track Fest after not racing much on the track in '25 has to feel good.

Former Wolverine Aurora Rynda came out of nowhere there to take the 800m B section at LA Track Fest!

@AthleticsWeekly What's most annoying to me is that none of this was able to be discussed on the broadcast this weekend. Hodge this and Hodge that but nothing about a suspension.

"The temple will never be rebuilt. Julian the Apostate tried to rebuild it and it was destroyed in the process. Christ put an end to the Jewish sacrifice on purpose — he gave them one generation to convert to Christianity, and when they didn't, he put an end to their sacrifice. There hasn't been practicing Jews in 2,000 years because the temple hasn't been around."

Pete Hegseth said this was "the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since WWII" (which is false, but that's beside the point), so I decided to look at what happened in WW2 and... this might surprise no-one: turns out the Nazis were more humane than the Americans.

Probably the most abject part here is that the warship had many survivors - 32 to be precise (https://t.co/bS1uARrBtf) - and the U.S. made zero effort to rescue them, despite it being required by the laws of naval warfare and simply being the honorable thing to do.

It took little Sri-Lanka, with its very modest means - especially compared to the $1 trillion US defense budget - to do the honorable thing and launch a (successful) rescue operation.

Even the literal Nazis, during WW2, rescued the survivors of ships their U-boats sank. It was considered a matter of basic honor.

The history of this is actually interesting: the Nazis rescued survivors all the way until the so-called Laconia Incident in 1942 (https://t.co/6wI251aNCv).

The Laconia was a British troopship sunk by U-156, a German U-boat, off the West African coast. Right after the sinking, the Nazis immediately began rescuing over 400 survivors, broadcasting - as was common practice - in plain English their position on open radio channels to all Allied powers nearby, so they wouldn't get attacked during the rescue.

That's when a US B-24 "Liberator" bomber attacked the submarine anyway, even though all the rescued survivors were on its foredeck. The B-24 killed dozens of Laconia's survivors with bombs and strafing attacks, forcing U-156 to cast into the sea the remaining survivors that she had rescued and crash dive to avoid being destroyed.

The American B-24 pilots mistakenly reported they had sunk U-156, and were awarded medals for bravery...

This event completely changed Nazi policy on this matter: Karl Dönitz, commander of the U-boat fleet, issued the "Laconiarefehl" - the Laconia Order - forbidding U-boats from rescuing survivors, because the risk to the submarine was now too high.

In other words, the Americans during WW2 essentially forced the Nazis to abandon survivors - from the allied side (!) - at sea.

Dönitz at least had an excuse.

Not golf-related, but this will be the undisputed biggest shock of the Winter Olympics.

Ilia Malinin went off as the -10000 favourite on FanDuel for Men’s Singles Gold.
That’s $1.01. 1/100.
As close to a lock as it gets.

Instead, Mikhail Shaidorov wins gold at 100/1, delivering just Kazakhstan’s second-ever Winter Olympic gold — and their first since their inaugural Games appearance in 1994 🤯

Sports drama. Undefeated.
