@everytstudies It’s also so flattening to say they do these things to signal conspicuous exemption from labor. Higher classes value hard work and mastery as much, if not more, than lower classes. Which class is more likely to use a vacation to watch hours of reality tv?

I think claims like this misunderstand what "work" is for most people. It's not "doing anything that requires effort", it's "doing things that are not your own, at the direction of someone else".

@levon_whiteguy i'm sure you've done research on this but in case this helps, here's some stuff re: psychedelics and cluster headaches: qualiacomputing.com/2025/11/02/the… forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/vzG8wu9b…

I finally got my worst fear to happen: cluster headaches! Been in the ER twice since Christmas. Hurts slightly less than when I had appendicitis several times per day

@TheZvi if something goes wrong u can just ask claude code to fix it

Okay, for real, how dangerous is it to --dangerously-skip-permissions ?

@jgtrends Best halftime adjustments or worst game prep? (Looking at Pope.)

Which coaches have made the best half time adjustments at the break?

@MittyData 🙂

Like him or not - Reed Sheppard will decide the fate of the Houston Rockets

@haslametrics Is there a way to run the numbers for best 3- or 4- game stretches by game performance score as far as the numbers go back? Have to think this is likely the best 3-/4-game performance in history

Following Michigan's impressive 28-point win over Villanova on Tuesday, our site would now have the Wolverines as favorites by 5.8 points or more vs. ANY Division-I opponent on a neutral court. Even sitting this far ahead of the field, Michigan has still outperformed their present ranking with double-digit game efficiency ratings in each of their last five contests. The win over Villanova ranked as Michigan's third-best effort of the season, behind the victories over Gonzaga and Auburn. The 'lytics currently have Michigan projected to defeat Maryland by roughly 31-1/2 points on Saturday.

@OptaJoe How many times have these light jogs at CBs resulted in the ball being regained

503 - At EURO 2024, Harry Kane has applied the most pressures to opponents overall (503) and applied the most pressures in the opposition half (326), the middle third (256) and final third (187). Tyres.

this ref is surreal. how are we letting them CONCACAF us hosting the Copa America

If you saw Liverpool 1-0 West Ham, then clicked through to see them only having 5 shots, would that not trigger alarm bells? Anecdotally that level of chance creation seems almost impossibly low for a top-4-level PL team

@JucheMane Complete whiff on my part. Thought he was Wiggins part 2 but is an unreal winner

@JucheMane It really did change. What a strange evaluation on intangibles lol, never has glib naïveté turned out to be such a legitimate strength

@FootballCliches @D_C_W is it too obvious to bring up “this is what VAR has taken from us”? because, well, at the risk of being trite and boring, this is what VAR has taken from us

@D_C_W The commentary for Dellas's Silver Goal against the Czechs - and I know everyone always says this about mad foreign commentators shouting "GOOOOAAAALLL" - is amazing, never heard the word shouted in such a truly heartfelt way youtube.com/watch?v=2rqnqU…

The only Euros preview content that's really worth absorbing, let's face it: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐗𝐈 (Abel Xavier would have been a better right-back, actually, fair play) LISTEN HERE ⬇️

@oilysailor is Mainoo actually going to play? like, he’s a nice story and all, but United were ~the 15th-best team in the league by xG with him out there, nowhere good enough for this England team yet

598 England passes for one shot on target. Against Iceland. At home.

@SethPartnow It’s tough to overstate his peak imo

Williams is a very underrated passer.

@marcum89 obv big Reed fan but worth noting the gap between “several teams’ statistical models have him #1” and “several teams have him #1”

@ne0scythian Hakeem, Shaq #1? Depends on how you value peak vs how much he actually played in the decade. David Robinson probably rounds out the top 3, not sure if I’m missing anyone

okay we've debated gender, talked about the masculine and feminine, psychoanalyzed the people in the screenshot. but i'm ready to move on, i want to talk about what's really important: who was the second best center in the NBA in the 90s?

a lot of the stuff about "the ick" and various listed turn offs seems like it's about ostensibly liberal women airing out exactly how conservative they are about gender roles

@scottjwillis Caveat is that I think he’s completely checked out, so there’s a chance some of this is downstream of apathy

@scottjwillis Hes just not good imo. As prospect could make up for clumsy footwork/touch and lack of feel with explosive pace + good workrate. He’s maintained all of the former with none of the latter. City game instructive - amazing goal but — by far — worst player on pitch otherwise

Marcus Rashford - 2021-2022 to 2023-2024 Attacking Midfield & Winger radar and distribution

@DerekBodnerNBA .1% illustrates the concept but might even be optimistic -- I think the outcome was deterministic given betting patterns. reminds me of the Dortmund share shorting/bus bombing; more people need to read Matt Levine before planning their illicit trading actions

Chance that $80k bet gets paid out: 0.1% Chance that bet gets investigated: 99.9% Expected value on that play was pretty low.

@KJ_McFlannels @DerekBodnerNBA an 80k (!!) parlay on a two-way player who then goes out after three minutes with a non-injury. I keep going back to that amount -- the books are literally never paying that bet out, which means hopeless naivete, which means the mass of the iceberg might be quite large

@DerekBodnerNBA if it has to be this obvious to get caught, I can’t even imagine how many dudes are doing it the smart way.

Lifetime ban for Jontay Porter. Some of the findings in here are wild.
