Wait, so they both make the playoffs if they tie, but if one of them wins the other is eliminated? They should agree to play to a tie. ImageImage
What the hell was that?!?
They literally sent a sign to the other team that they needed to try to beat them, when they were trying to get them both into the playoffs. I wish I was still teaching Game Theory so I could use Brandon Stanley as an example of what not to do. Not a good year for Brandons.
This is wrong. Chargers had no reason to call timeout either way. A tie and win were exactly the same to them, they should’ve just hoped the Raiders weren’t going for the win and not got them to think that they themselves were trying to win.
No one is even remembering now that Brandon went for it on 4th down on his own 20.

NYC high schooler: "One student tested positive IN THE AUDITORIUM, and a few students started screaming and ran away ...90% of the conversations..concern COVID." You know the risks to kids are minimal, do they know? All indications are they don't. reddit.com/r/nyc/comments…
Teachers: hysteria is so great that impact of school is negative. There aren't enough teachers.

Demonstrates why it's not enough to be against school closures, you need to be against testing and quarantining too. The hysteria is the problem, not COVID.
"In our school of ~250 students, 47 are out today having tested positive for covid, along with 4 out of 19 teachers. Attendance as a whole today is 30%. I had literally 0 students in my first period class and spent the period sweeping the room and scrubbing desks."

All you need to do is be locked in your room for three weeks and then never show your face in public to have a “fear-free family holiday.”propublica.org/article/i-saw-… Image
She just loves, loves captivity! Backwards American friends can’t believe she would find staying in a room for 21 days difficult. She has YouTube videos and a window!

Some very psychologically abnormal people have been driving the COVID conversation. Image
“Every three days, I had my only human contact. The doorbell would ring, I’d open it to an HVAC tube like an enormous vacuum hose held in front of my face while a PPE-clad worker swabbed my nose and throat.” Image

Kids have been organizing a TikTok challenge where they make threats on social media and close down their schools. Every level of US gov has super fragile institutions, can't function. Meanwhile DC elites debate whether to fight Russia, China or both. washingtonpost.com/education/2021…
“'I think we have to take every single threat very seriously right now — it doesn’t matter how it might seem innocuous,' said Laurel Thompson, who is on the board of the School Social Work Association of America (SSWAA)"
Schools have a response though! One "asked parents to urge their children not to participate" in the TikTok challenge. Kids building fake accounts, teachers and principles staying up to look through them all. Institutions are inspiring well deserved contempt in the youth.

The guy would’ve crushed anti-vaxx sentiment before breakfast had he stayed in office. Hundreds of thousands would’ve been saved if he’d won. Will some brave philosopher weigh in on the ethics of overturning an election under those circumstances?
It’s like George W Bush rehabilitation, we’re starting early, except Bush was actually as bad as his worst critics said while Trump did actually save countless lives.
I actually don’t believe this, I think conservatives being the less educated and more anti-establishment party made them more naturally the anti-vaxx party. Dems would’ve never gone against medical establishment, maybe Jill Stein types but there are few of those now.

“after observing a man dragging an ‘unknown heavy object’ into an ISIS ‘defensive fighting position,’ American forces struck a building in Ramadi, Iraq. A military review found that the object was actually ‘a person of small stature’ — a child” nytimes.com/interactive/20…
“In only a handful of cases were the assessments made public. Not a single record provided includes a finding of wrongdoing or disciplinary action. Fewer than a dozen condolence payments were made… Documented efforts to identify root causes or lessons learned are rare.”
“In chat logs accompanying some assessments, soldiers can sound as if they are playing video games, in one case expressing glee over getting to fire in an area ostensibly ‘poppin’ with ISIS fighters — without spotting the children in their midst.”

Reflections on 2021, what I’ve been doing and what I’ve learned. richardhanania.substack.com/p/reflections-…
No more "both sides are bad" for me. "A political movement that leaves people alone to make awful medical decisions and panders to anti-vaxx sentiment can have devastating consequences, but it’s compatible with some form of human life as we remember it... COVID hysteria isn’t."
What I've learned from my public writings and the reaction to it: "while the marketplace of ideas mostly rewards partisans who are comfortably part of a political tribe, there is unmet demand for higher quality analysis."
