A scourge.

I wrote about how much Americans wagered on sports betting in 2025 and how it’s more than they spent on movies, art, museums and music combined. Read my article @fortunemagazine.bsky.social fortune.com/2026/07/26/g...

Horrific attack in Berlin rightly gets coverage in Europe/US, but murder of a mother and 6 kids by husband gets far less spread. This, despite 1000 women murdered by current or former partners every year in the US, 700-800 a year in EU. Combined, that’s 5 every day. Media reaction? Almost zero.

Just a reminder that domestic violence in the US and Europe takes far more lives per year than terrorism. It’s not even close. Yet we do not treat this as a form of terrorism, as that would mean asking some very uncomfortable questions about systemic male violence. apnews.com/article/mich...

Digging out from under a depressive episode sucks.

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

So glad VAR won this one for Argentina

I cannot believe a few guys making bets on a prediction market are driving some news coverage at CNN and CNBC. It’s clearly info slop, not news. This piece by @atrupar.com & @juddlegum.bsky.social reveals how truly bad it is & how viewers are being misled. Yikes. open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

How Kalshi infects the news

CNN and CNBC are pushing Kalshi on viewers but not telling them the whole story.

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

That red card was some crap.

This data from @forbes.com highlights what we’re always saying about journalism & communication degrees: They prepare you for a wide range of careers. In the current climate, versatility might be one of the most important factors when determining a field of study for college students.

The 2nd opinion is Wolford. The court holds Hawaii’s law barring licensed concealed-carry permit holders from carrying handguns on private property open to the public without the property owner’s express authorization violates the 2nd and 14th Amendments

In the latest “Stats + Stories,”  hosts @johnbailer.bsky.social and @rompenni.bsky.social Rosemary Pennington welcome Tim Thomas (Eviction Research Network @ UC Berkeley) to discuss eviction, gentrification, & how data can help shape more equitable housing policies. Listen in: tinyurl.com/4pu3hhvf

Just saw #Supergirl and really liked it. It’s not a prefect movie and the script is a bit uneven, but was highly enjoyable. Curious to see how the character develops with a stronger story.
