My favorite comment on Elizabeth Bruenig's latest Atlantic story: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Comment from user amcclory says: "I remember the exact moment when I received incontrovertible proof that there is no God. It was Game 6 of the 1993 NBA finals. My beloved Phoenix Suns lost the first two games of that series to Michael Jordan's two-time champion Chicago Bulls. Somehow, the Suns improbably won two out of three games in Chicago, staving off elimination, and bringing the series back to Phoenix. They were cruising to victory in Game 6, only to have John Paxon drain a three-pointer to take the lead in the last 4 seconds of the game. With that dagger three, the Suns season and all possibility of the existence of a loving, powerful deity came to an end."

Incredible paragraph in Robert F. Worth's excellent reporting from Minneapolis: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Text that says: Inside the schools, many administrators have been making their own preparations over the past year. Amanda Bauer, a teacher at a Minneapolis elementary school that has a large portion of immigrant students, told me that administrators informed parents last fall about their emergency plans for ICE raids by phone or in person, because they were already concerned about leaving email chains that could be mined by a hostile government.

Tesla uses a third of the number of sensors that Waymo vehicles have. Whereas Waymo employs an array of different kinds of sensors — cameras, radar, and lidar — Tesla utilizes only one. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...
