Incredible. We built a machine that can move faster than a human. Truly a watershed moment in our development as a species. This is a post about the invention of the bicycle in 1817. Also here’s a stupid robot running fast and falling down.
A Chinese humanoid robot outran Usain Bolt’s 100-meter sprint world record on the opening day of the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, posting a time of 9.39 seconds — 0.19 faster than Bolt’s pace in 2009.

It straight up pisses me off that Dolly Parton was doing this stuff for the past 30 years while the biggest assholes in the world became billionaires whose only charitable contributions are to their own tax-exempt organizations (that they receive tax benefits for donating to & "volunteering with".)
This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

'Alexi Lalas’s ubiquitousness every World Cup is American TV’s answer to the Iran war: no one wants it, everyone hates it, and as it drags on, it inevitably becomes a face-saving exercise in damage limitation'
The French aristocrat and the all-American idiot: Henry v Lalas is the World Cup’s most compelling battle
Fox’s broadcast at the tournament has become a story of two contrasting styles. And there is one clear winner

I've reported on Musk for around 8 years. I've co-authored a book on him. I don't think folks understand the rate of his wealth accumulation.
Shortly after he helped elect Donald Trump in Nov 2024, his net worth was around $350 billion. That net worth has nearly tripled in less than two years.

Dr. Céline Gounder (wife of the late Grant Wahl) just shared this piece: Grant Wahl Should Be Covering this World Cup.
It touches on the Ebola outbreak in the Congo and reminds us, no one was better at juxtaposing the world & soccer than Grant. Give it a read.

Grant Wahl Should Be Covering this World Cup
The 2026 World Cup has no public health command. The Ebola outbreak has reached 350 cases. And the journalist who would have asked the hardest questions isn’t here.

If this was almost any other country arbitrarily denying entry and visas to team staff (and even holding players up for several hours), they would unanimously be considered unfit to host the World Cup. This country has normalised such things for many years, and obviously taken them up a notch lately
One less photographer will be covering the World Cup.
Official Iraq National Team photographer Talal Salah was detained for 12 hours in Chicago then denied entry.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

If you give a world class striker 8 touches in the box…
You can’t script it much better.

I was just watching some of the Bill and Hillary deposition footage and its really striking/disturbing how much the Clintons clearly come off younger and in better shape than either of our two recent presidents.
