Our sport has lost a talented athlete in the most tragic and unthinkable circumstances.

Rebecca was an incredibly versatile runner who still had lots left to give on the roads, mountains and cross country trails.

I have been in touch with our Council Members in Africa to see how we can help not only in our capacity as governing body of the sport Rebecca competed in, but to assess how our safeguarding policies might be enhanced to include abuse outside of the sport, and bringing together stakeholders from all areas of athletics to combine forces to protect our female athletes to the best of our abilities from abuse of all kinds.

Gotta disagree here. There is no meaningful distinction between “literary fiction” and genre fiction.

Are we saying that when Cormac McCarthy dipped his feet into a post apocalyptic storytelling that he was somehow sacrificing his literary skill?

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Science fiction is free to tell the truth about human nature in ways that literary fiction is not. Literary fiction has to put all its fantasy into the personalities of its characters; sci-fi has fantasy science, so it's free to tell the stories of humans as they really are.

@TheRealMerb Do you think it’s because the athletes have some kind of power relative to the brands?

[James Medlock @jdcmedlock]

Funny they’re interested in talking policy all of a sudden. This is a party that has spent the last 8 years deploying culture war squid ink the moment something concrete like Medicaid policy comes up

Hagos Gebrhiwet broke 12:50 for the first time in the famous Paris Diamond League of 2012.

Twelve years later, he's still doing it.

@Flaamingoo_ I know a loss is is unlikely, but you should do it even if you lose. Don’t deny yourself the joy of the shotgun

[tinoco @truewert]

Looks like it was an exciting race

[Kyle Merber⏱️ @TheRealMerb]

Cole Hocker wins the 5000m OD at the Wake Forest Invitational in 13:08.25. Teare paced for 3800m. Very small PB but not an Olympic standard.

And with the cost of university education as high as it is, most students know there are no second chances, if they fail a class or ate subpar it’s on their record for good, which can kill chances of graduation or advanced degrees

[tinoco @truewert]

Maybe think about it from the students’ perspective: so much of school has become about the good-grades-to-good-job pipeline. Not once in my life was I told “Go to college so you can learn and be curious”, I was told “Go to college, do well, and get a good job.”

As if this sport wasn’t hard enough to watch already. Flotrack’s model has probably made them a huge profit, but all it’s done is squeeze money out of the sports’ diehard fans and effectively make it impossible for new fans to join the sport. Awful decision.

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

The Diamond League, which is currently televised on NBC’s networks and streamed on Peacock ($5.99/month or $59.99/year), will move to Flotrack ($29.99/month or $149.99/year) starting in 2025.

The Prefontaine Classic is not included in the package.

@GaryAndersonF1 happy new year! I’m really curious why in your driver line-up rankings you put Red Bull second last? Perez doubtlessly underperformed in 2023, but surely a dominant WDC for Verstappen should be enough for top 5 at least?
