@extremeXmetal@SNstats@LeafsUpdates21 They are currently in the SCF against the #1 team in the east who give up the least shots per game. Might wanna take the Leaf beer goggles off
These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.
Bam Adebeyo's 83-points was 8.5 standard deviations above his average. This is so large it breaks data floating point precision limits in returning an exact statistical probability of occurring.
I'm led to believe this is a 1 in 166 quadrillion chance
If you’re ever wondering why wins and losses aren’t a QB stat
This is why
This dude played his fucking ass off
One of the best games of his career
And he just got sold in one of the most disgusting fashions
Jordan Love has been that dude and he’ll continue to be that dude
Jordan Love completed 13 of 17 passes against man coverage for 232 yards and 3 TD, the most yards vs man in a game this season.
Jordan Love completed 20 straight completions during the game, with a 0.1% chance of completing all 20 passes based on the difficulty of each pass.

A little rich hearing this sanctimony from Americans after the brutal Qatari dictatorship - a major sponsor of terrorism - has spent over $100 billion (including a 747 for President Trump) to influence the United States.
Instead of getting prejudicial tariffs, they got an unlimited security & defence guarantee from President Trump. Good investment! https://t.co/NzaJvth42t
The NBA is very concerned about the multiple arrests made as a result of the FBI’s sports gambling code.
Use code “MULTIPLEARRESTS” for a 30% Profit Boost on a three-leg parlay with Draft Kings, the official gambling partner of the NBA.
ESPN at some point today?
“Absolutely shocking news about Chauncey Billups. I wonder who the next Trail Blazers coach will be…check out the odds on FanDuel and use the same day parlay to bet on how long he and Terry Rozier will be suspended!”
As a neurosurgeon I care a lot about road safety.
By now you’ve probably seen @Waymo’s stunning safety results (like 91% fewer serious crashes). But they didn’t just publish data headlines. They released the raw CSV files and data dictionaries.
I did a much deeper analysis. A fascinating story emerges when you analyze how they’re achieving this.
This isn’t incremental improvement - it’s categorical. We’re looking at the potential elimination of traffic deaths as a leading cause of mortality.
The intersection breakthrough: Waymo has essentially solved intersection crashes, with 95% fewer injury incidents than human drivers in the same locations. That’s transforming the deadliest driving scenario.
The national math: If every US vehicle performed like Waymo, we’d prevent 33,000-39,000 deaths annually and save $0.9-1.25 trillion in societal costs. Even partial adoption at 27% would save ~10,000 lives per year. In terms of magnitude, this would be the equivalent of eliminating every pedestrian death nationally in a year.
The physics signature: Here’s what fascinates me: 47% of Waymo’s contacts involve less than 1 mph delta-V. They’re not just avoiding crashes; they’re converting unavoidable incidents into gentle bumps. It’s like having physics itself on your side.
We’re not talking about marginal safety gains. The data represents a fundamental shift from harm reduction to harm prevention.
The methodology matters: I used their dynamic geographic benchmarks (comparing like-for-like road conditions) and verified the findings hold across San Francisco, Phoenix, LA, and Austin. The safety advantage actually increases in more complex urban environments.
Link to raw data below….
Notes on my approach:
Analysis based on 96 million miles of Waymo Rider-Only (RO) data through June 2025, utilizing Waymo's dynamic geographic benchmarks to compare Waymo Driver performance against human drivers under similar road conditions and operational design domains.
The projections for national impact (deaths prevented, societal costs) involve several assumptions. Given Waymo's zero reported fatalities, the direct serious injury reductions were mapped to national fatality statistics using established NHTSA-derived ratios that correlate serious injury crash rates with fatality rates. This extrapolation assumes that Waymo's observed serious injury prevention capability would translate proportionally to fatality prevention. Societal cost savings are estimated by applying average per-fatality and per-injury economic costs (e.g., medical, lost productivity, quality of life) as published by NHTSA, scaling these national averages to the projected number of avoided fatalities and injuries based on Waymo's safety performance. These figures represent the potential annual impact if the Waymo Driver's safety profile were widely integrated into the national fleet.

Just in time for the NFL season, here’s something we’ve been cooking up for a long time: The best quarterbacks of all-time, as rated by our new model, QBERT. Every QB since 1950 on a level playing field with an insane amount of detail.
In Mark Messier's rookie season, he played against Gordie Howe and the Hartford Whalers. So Brent Burns played against someone who played against Gordie Howe in the NHL.
