Longtime political sports writer Dave Zirin talks the surreality of life in D.C., what inspiration he’s gained from researching Howard Zinn’s papers, and why Harvard professor Jill Lepore is “the Victor Wembanyama of historians.”

Here’s a 100 reasons I’m glad I’m not in DC for the next few days 🥵

It should have been a celebration that reminded us of everything that connects us as a nation a moment to showcase the incredible diversity and creativity of the American people. That would have been a celebration worthy of this historic milestone.

Heatwaves are far more disruptive and dangerous in places not used to high temperatures. In Paris, where high heat and air conditioning are both rare, health risks increase sharply during heatwaves. By contrast, Texas has less impact from heat. From: ourworldindata.org/part-one-how...

Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."

The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???

Every stripe tells a story. Of changing seasons. Of rising temperatures. Of a warming world that is already affecting our landscapes, our food & our future. But this story isn't finished. The choices we make today will shape the world inherited by the next generations. #ShowYourStripes

The complete loss of cold years in the Arctic since the 1980s is astounding. The last "blue" stripe was 1992, following the Pinatubo Volcano eruption in the summer of 1991. #ShowYourStripes #Climate #Arctic

Curaçao's goalkeeper, who just set the World Cup record for saves in a 99 minute game (15!), plays for Miami… in USL. He plays MINOR LEAGUE AMERICAN SOCCER. And he just stood on his head to get Curaçao their first World Cup point. The beautiful game, indeed.
