Not every day you see a running world record fall by almost a full second.
The bronze medal guy from Brazil p much ran the old world record and wasn’t even in the picture at the finish.
Rye Benjamin was really broken up in the post race interviews because he didn’t get the gold, but he did amazing! The Brazilian bronze medalist did amazing! And Rye beat him by more than half a second!
He beat the time of the 2016 Olympic gold medalist (Kerron Clement, USA, 47.73) by over a second and a half! Don’t beat yourself up, man.

Here’s the new CDC eviction order, hot off the press. cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
“Trends have dramatically worsened since June 2021 and transmission is rapidly accelerating in the United States,” CDC Director Walensky writes. Image
The rubber hits the road in this CDC order in the “covered person” definition, which obliges people under threat of eviction to provide a six-point declaration to their landlord under penalty of perjury—including that they live in a substantial or high transmission area. ImageImage

The AP decided to take an extremely pro-factory farm angle on this, but it’s notable that veal and egg producers—not widely known for tender care of their animals—were able to comply with California’s 2018 law while pork producers are at 4% compliance. apnews.com/article/lifest…
The draconian requirement at issue here is giving “breeding pigs enough room to turn around and to extend their limbs.”
This is clearly the disposition of the Associated Press team that produced the story.

the NYT reporter and the fat cat McConnell lobbyist chuckling and throwing popcorn at the screen
It’s a communications challenge bc you have to get across several nuanced concepts: The distinction between breakthrough infections and severe disease, the still-not-fully-understood potential of breakthrough infections to fuel community spread, and the risk to the unvaccinated.
