Iran announces "the start of targeting the enemy's technological infrastructure in the region," by which they mean targeting assets of American companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc, across the region.

Look I'm not gonna act like I thought there was a chance in hell they were gonna lose this game, but if you were going to get your mascots some playing time maybe you should've done it against a Brazil team that had more high schoolers than major leaguers

This is inevitable if San Diego keeps building two-lane "highways" through our neighborhoods that people feel comfortable driving 60 on. 2/2

Now that Wolf Parade is in the discourse I’d appreciate a thorough exegesis on this:

β€œAnd I'll build a house inside of you
I'll go in through the mouth
I'll draw three figures on your heart
One of them will be me as a boy
And one of them will be me
And one of them will be me watching you run”

This is a bit dated by now, but if anyone wants an interesting, non-academic read to learn more, this book is great: www.amazon.com/Dont-Shoot-F...

Don't take it as gospel, all kinds of subsequent debates, but a great introduction to the basic shift that happened in the US re violence prevention.

Started today with traffic violence at the intersection closest to my house. Two car t-bone accident, both cars knocked off the road, airbags deployed. Everyone looked OK, but my heart stopped when one of the drivers reached into the backseat and pulled a tiny baby out. 1/2

I'd say Charlize Theron but I actually have no evidence one way or another about her sociopathy.

How Denver’s Northeast Park Hill community reduced youth violence by 75% A neighborhood coalition identified risk factors for youth violence and prevention strategies.

I’m hard pressed to think of a social issue considered as intractable as community violence that folks just sat down and figured out how to solve.

And what’s crazy is it’s now β€œknow how” given β€œpolitical will”. Community leaders even figured that out.

Previously I’d probably want to layer on a bunch of caveats to this kind of statement but not really any more. We really do know how to bring down violence in cities and communities.
