The NFL paused its accelerator program for minority coaches and executives this year.

Meanwhile, the Vikings’ program led by assistant coach Mike Pettine is still going strong.

The Vikings pressed forward with their annual diversity summit, even after the NFL scrapped its May 2025 "accelerator" program.

Vikings continue diversity summit, despite NFL scrapping "accelerator" program for May 2025

Cities like Calgary that gamed the Federal Housing Accelerator Fund Program aren’t just cheating the Canadian Federal Government. They’re effectively cheating every other Canadian city that acted in good faith, & badly needed that kind of funding help. The Feds owe those cities visible consequences.
If you care about Canadian cities providing more badly needed housing choices, AND not cheating Federal funding programs, read this.

I supported Federal funding for cities doing good housing moves. But Feds NEED to send the message that cities gaming the system “need not apply” for future funding.
Calgary rolled back its permissive zoning. Will it have to pay Ottawa back?
Ottawa’s flagship housing program was designed to reward cities for making it easier to build homes. Calgary’s decision to accept the majority of its funding before reversing a major zoning reform put...

🇪🇺 The EC is preparing the “Industrial Accelerator Act”, which should strengthen the bloc’s production base and give impetus to the restart of heavy industry in the EU.

Ukraine, as a future EU member, should also become a participant in the industrial recovery program.

the rooney rule is largely decorative and does not accomplish its goals. you can tell the NFL rolled over on diversity in the coaching ranks when they removed the diversity goals of the accelerator program. so you can tell how performative this is from florida.

We've created a perfect disinformation machine that will agree with your bad ideas. The fucking murder crystal program is an ideation accelerator.
Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death.
