Don’t forget about Daniel @sadbumblebee.buzz himself, who is a brilliant and compassionate writer, climate reporter, and developer — among many other talents. Some of my faves of his work: wapo.st/4rv3WZJ wapo.st/4a1IIwS

The Post was foolish enough to unleash a bevy of the world’s most talented multi-disciplinary journalists out there for their competition to scoop up. These are some of the most hard working and skilled people I know. Save this one and reshare it please! 📊

The Washington Post Guild is alarmed and appalled by federal law enforcement’s search and seizure of reporter Hannah Natanson’s property and personal devices. Hannah is a valued member of our union whose work covering the federal workforce has been essential (1/3)

Suspect arrested in predawn fire that left parts of Mississippi’s largest synagogue in charred ruins A fire heavily damaged Jackson’s only synagogue before dawn Saturday – the same house of worship that was firebombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1967 because the rabbi had been an advocate for civil…

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

The Washington Post (dream team of @emilygiam.bsky.social, @katiperry.bsky.social & @arturgalocha.bsky.social) has created a metric to calculate precisely how happy — or miserable — fans of each major college football program should be based on their team’s résumé. See how your school fared:

How happy (or miserable) should you be about your favorite college football team? We came up with a foolproof formula (of course you'll all agree with it). Georgia fans should be ecstatic. Stanford fans? Well, you went to an excellent academic school.

I adore, adore, adore this from @emilygiam.bsky.social, @katiperry.bsky.social + @arturgalocha.bsky.social Just so fun and creative, from Emily's data to the presentation and interactive graphics. Are you a fan of a P4 football team? Are you happy? Sad? Check out our happiness rankings below 👇

I've wanted to work on a story using cookbook data for years. finally it happened! @bonnieberkowitz.bsky.social and I published a quiz this morning on all the weird stuff people put in your favorite recipes using data from Cookshelf/@eatyourbooks.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/food/interac...

I think this is pure charting gold from WaPo (credits to Szu Yu Chen, @emmakumer.bsky.social and @jeremybmerrill.com) www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

Hours-long wait times. Endless looping music. Useless robot messages. Millions of seniors and disabled people call Social Security every month. What they experience is often maddening.

In June, the @washingtonpost.com sent me and @byaliceli.bsky.social to witness cultural burns in California. We learned how they encourage beneficial vegetation, reduce wildfire risk, and provide traditional food and craft sources for tribes in the Klamath region. 🎁: wapo.st/3J7BQTL

This story was the brainchild of sports data reporter @emilygiam.bsky.social, who collaborated with @katiperry.bsky.social and @asteckelberg.bsky.social to allow you to try parlay betting yourself. It's often not pretty

We simulated what your bank account would look like if you kept betting parlays. Here we consider a five-leg parlay with -110 odds per leg. And we assume you're no better than random chance. (You probably aren't.) You might get lucky every so often, but breaking even in the long run is very hard.

The sportsbooks’ advantage is obvious in the data: Operators bring in far more revenue for every dollar wagered on these bets than they do straight bets. Parlays account for about one-third of the total amount wagered, but they generate roughly two-thirds of the sportsbooks’ revenue.

But parlays *heavily* favor the operators — not because of the low win rate but because of the math going on behind the scenes. As legs are added to the bet, the chance of winning drops faster than the growth of the potential payout. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/inter...

How America’s favorite sports bet is fueling sportsbook profits Parlays are becoming more popular, accounting for an increasing share of the money wagered on sports, according to a Post analysis of betting data. Bettors lose billions a year on these bets. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/inter...

Business Insider yanked 40 essays with suspect bylines. A @washingtonpost.com probe into these mass retractions found key links between the bogus writer “Margaux Blanchard” and another individual, suggesting a broader scheme. Here’s what I found: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Washington Post reporters spent Friday night along a stretch of U Street, one of D.C.’s nightlife hubs. As federal police roam, crowds are smaller, bartenders worry and clubgoers try to enjoy themselves. Here’s what we saw: wapo.st/4oCReaC

244 statues is a lot of statues!! Maybe DC gets this instead of a football stadium? @bonnieberkowitz.bsky.social @hannahdormido.bsky.social @katiperry.bsky.social

Over half the players in this year's men's #NCAA bracket started their college careers at other schools. At Kentucky, not one of the top 8 players played a minute for the Wildcats before this year. The Portal Effect, from @emilygiam.bsky.social, @jessedougherty.bsky.social & @katiperry.bsky.social:

This story was such a fun collaboration! @katiperry.bsky.social did all the amazing graphics work, and @jessedougherty.bsky.social knows this topic so well to be able to ask the right questions and write the words!

We all know transfers rule college basketball … but to what extent? And how different is today vs. the past? We quantified it by analyzing the careers of rotation players on every men’s & women’s NCAA tournament team since 2010. That’s 10,000 players! Check it out (gift link): wapo.st/41By62h

🚨 Big scoop: Trump team is considering using Elon Musk’s efficiency commission to slash spending unilaterally — without Congress needing to vote. That’d set up a major constitutional showdown over the power of the purse. — via @jeffstein.bsky.social, Lizzie Dwoskin, @cqzakrz.bsky.social + me

Every battleground followed this pattern: Trump ran up the score in rural areas, while the rest remained near 2020 pace. See them all here wapo.st/3UE4X3w

Tomorrow top eaters will face off on Coney Island and compete to eat the most hot dogs in 10 minutes. So what makes an eating champion? A stretchy stomach, hardcore training or crazy willpower? I investigated this pressing mystery for @washingtonpost.com. https://wapo.st/3PMfDLQ

It's been 100 days since Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully detained in Russia and falsely accused of espionage. Journalism is not a crime. Free press is crucial to maintaining a free society. Especially on this difficult milestone, our newsroom #StandsWithEvan.

Honestly driving with an astigmatism and the _advances_ in car headlights was enough for me to get onboard with this piece. A look at what LEDs are doing to our environment and health with Kasha and @katiperry.bsky.social
