Ancelotti might get a lot of criticism but I don’t think his tactics were odd. Brazil had many chances to go up first including that penalty

Best player ever for Norway. Individually won this game, Erling Haaland

Evolution of sports (such as football): 1. Humans playing the sport and humans refereeing. 2. Humans refereeing with tech assistance. 3. Tech refereeing with humans “in the loop”. 4. Sports as tech simulations with humans as data for training models.

These are terrible decisions because they destroy the sport. Why even have an on field referee? I’m all for VAR to overturn the big stuff but this isn’t cricket where a nick or a toe should determine the outcome 5-10 minutes later. I don’t even know this sport anymore

Wrapped up moderating the Congressional briefing and stopped by the new statue of Barbara Rose Johns before leaving the Capitol. At 16, she led the walkout that helped pave the way for Brown v. Board. It is powerful to see her standing here in Emancipation Hall.

The best camera is the one you have with you in the moment. And I have to say the iphone 17 pro is a beast.

Really loved Lantau island as a quieter base in Hong Kong on my return visit here.

I love this side of Hong Kong.

Spotted this cafe in Shenzhen. Publish or perish! I guess CNS is coffee, Nature, and Science. 😉

Good morning from Shenzhen, China where robots sweep the streets and nearly everyone drives an EV car or scooter. This is the tech manufacturing hub of the world.

Hong Kong is pretty stunning from The Peak

Rice noodles in a complex chicken sock with fish balls, meat cake, two kinds of mushrooms, shallots, garlic, bok choy, fish sauce, bean chili sauce and fried starch. The best cure for jet lag in Hong Kong.

Absolute chaos at Dulles including the longest immigration lines and bag delays I have ever seen, as the government shutdown approaches the record. (Thankfully global entry helped with at least one aspect today).

I suppose more than any time in recent memory we need Ma Durga to believe that good will overcome evil.

At Union Market today we tried Egg Yaki, Chef Nicholas Martino’s omelet-pancake creation. We picked the kimchi version, which turned out to one of the best egg dishes I’ve ever had in my life: tangy, spicy, a little citrus from the yuzu mayo, and just the right crunch from garlic and shallots.

The iPhone 17 Pro is a very unbalanced device in the hand both with and without a case. Maybe I’ll get used to it, but so far that’s been the biggest issue.

Really enjoyed Varun Grover’s standup show in DC and hanging out with him. Not only is he funny and smart, but also down-to-earth.

You have to read the stories. Macabre. But also kind of awesome.

Macaulay once dismissed the learning of the East in favour of a single shelf of a European library. Many such libraries were built on colonial wealth. Today, knowledge both human and synthetic is at our fingertips. The John Rylands Library reminds you beauty still has a place in it.

Manchester’s wealth was once woven from cotton shipped from India and sold back as “Manchester cloth,” undercutting Indian weavers. Today, the city has a statue of Gandhi, champion of swadeshi and hand-spun khadi, standing in the place that once drove the trade he fought against.
