Wemby can’t summon the hate required to win when he’s playing against a walkable city

I've simulated the World Cup 100,000 times and one thing is already clear about the new 48-team format:

✅ 6 pts = 100% qualify
✅ 4 pts = 99.8% qualify
⚠️ 3 pts = 67% qualify
❌ 2 pts = 5% qualify

The new format is quite forgiving.

3 points and a -2 goal difference gets you through more often than not.

Huh.

Turns out @SenTuberville was the voting fraudster right wingers were looking for. Just like @senrickscott was the Medicare fraudster.

@LaurelPfahler I think you used it appropriately. I just don’t like that it fits.

“We're going to look at personnel as well as structure. So, I don't think we're just going to sit on our hands.”

#FCCincy GM Chris Albright said he and Pat Noonan watched every goal conceded to pinpoint issues on defense. Now they work to fix them.

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

The thing about the “woke pope” stuff is that, in a better world, assuming a cautious stance towards rapid technological change and insisting on the value of the “human” would be the obvious conservative position

Five cancers that used to be death sentences. Pancreatic. Glioblastoma. Triple-negative breast. Renal. Melanoma. The median survival for metastatic pancreatic cancer is still 6 months. Glioblastoma, 15 months.

Now personalized mRNA vaccines are producing complete remissions in some of these patients. Not responses. Remissions.

BioNTech’s pancreatic cancer vaccine has 6-year follow-up data. 8 of 16 patients who mounted an immune response are still alive. For a cancer that kills 95% of patients within 5 years, that's incredible.

Topol’s pyramid here maps the trajectory. From broad checkpoint inhibitors at the base to personalized neoantigen vaccines at the peak. The technology is climbing.
