Every one of us who clips in and heads out on the road understands the risk. But race organizers and governing bodies who can't assure a course free from cars while racers are present maybe shouldn't be allowed to hold events in that location. www.nytimes.com/athletic/751...

On Nashville’s first goal, #Crew96 center backs are marking the same man, while the most dangerous player on the field is left to Taha. Both the first and third goals come down to defenders not recognizing the danger until it’s too late.

Another Ohio business joins the the #LegallyDistinctBeaver stick-it-to-Buc-ee’s movement. This time, they name their beaver mascot “Luc-ee.”
A Facebook post with a black and white circle and the bottom around a line drawing of a smiling beaver in a wizard’s cap. The following text:

Sixth Sense Brewing & T.... Follow ... X

After months and months of meetings with our management team we officially have a new mascot!!!!
Meet Luc-ee. This adorable little beaver wizard has absolutely nothing to do with a large corporate conglomerate travel center making the lives of an Ohio small business harder than it needs to be. We swear!!!!
That being said tonight is The Dog Days of Summer Jackson Sidewalk Market so come on out and support your local small businesses, vendors and dog pound

Analysis | New 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat has no investigative journalism experience and no cachet among the 25-to-49-year-olds advertisers covet. But don't underestimate his ability to deliver the key demographic of over-65 cranky white male billionaires.

Back in grad school, we used to bitch about the revolving doors between federal agencies and businesses they regulated. I was mostly focused on FCC cuz that's my area, although it was a widespread, and widely recognized, problem. This is a whole different level of corruption.
