MORE AMERICAN FREEDOM: The long-running Music Midtown festival at Piedmont Park in Atlanta in September has been called off because recent changes to Georgia gun laws prevent the festival from banning guns on the publicly owned festival grounds. #gapol https://t.co/0eP9IwoUW7

"How do you look at this girl and shoot her? Oh, my baby. How do you shoot my baby?"

The most offensive part of this is obvious. The second most offensive part is that the address they gave is incorrect and located in Sandy Springs.

A Cobb County GOP committee is holding a Jan. 6 program and candlelight vigil for the “J6 patriots” in the violent mob that overran the Capitol. The Cobb GOP was once the heart of the mainstream GOP in Georgia, but Trump’s rise has pulled the local party to the far right. #gapol

It’s really like Facebook watched the first half of Ready Player One and was like, “okay this seems good.”

It’s really amazing how hilariously off Twitter’s topic function is.

One thing I learned while working in market research is that the cups of coffee thing rarely persuades anybody.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Buying a $1,000 iPhone can be equivalent to giving up $17,000 in retirement savings or 2,500 cups of coffee. Yet one in five people surveyed by WalletHub thought a new phone was worth going into debt for. https://t.co/YnM3J84NlA

@RobLedniczky Oh yeah that is good! Makes you wonder why they use the 2min threshold for calculating viewership numbers.

[Daniel Yellin @DanielYellin]

So the average account watched 7.6 minutes of Bridgerton in its first 28 days of release? Is that good?

[Alex Heath @alexeheath]

Sarandos just released some data here at #CodeCon about the number of viewers for its Emmy-winning shows. Accounts in the first slide are counted if they watched for at least 2 minutes. He says it’s part of a push to be more transparent about Netflix’s viewing data.

I liked the multiplicative scoring system. It’s still much clearer than the subjective scoring systems used in other sports and it puts everyone on equal footing at the beginning of the contest. Might have perverse incentives for the future of specialized climbing though.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Sport climbing’s complicated scoring system at the #Tokyo2020 Olympics created chaos in the final moments of the competition. The ranking was an ever-changing leaderboard that shuffled like a flip-number schedule at an old train station. https://t.co/QUFOoyxS1D

And then the women put on a matching performance!!!

Man, this Olympics will inspire lots of young athletes to try hurdles.

[Daniel Yellin @DanielYellin]

That 400M final is one of the most insane races I’ve ever seen!!!! Outstanding from literally everyone in the field.

But holy crap @kwarholm!!
