Who are we playing tomorrow night again? Wookiee Forest? #GoBears #BeatKashyyyk

It is extremely disappointing that in an era where excellent sports journalists are losing their jobs left and right, Jake Curtis is still paid to generate lazy, unprofessional garbage like this.

Linkin Park cover band in SF should be called LinkedIn Park

Bar soap is best for the shower and liquid soap dispensed from a bottle is best for washing your hands at the sink. Why do hotels get this backwards?

Me, a fantasy football optimist: sure Lamar Jackson is out but Zay Flowers could still put up numbers. Maybe the Ravens will actually depend on him more in this game! Zay Flowers: **takes a sack**

UPDATE: Still 0.5 a game out of second, now just 1 game out of first. Still on track to the ACCCG.

BORK BORK BORK, Hokies!

Sing glorious, victorious! 💙🐻💛

I've taken late-night Ubers from my boss's place, or from restaurants, that were paid for by work. It was a sure-fire indicator that I was working late. Should we paying state employees to work late, instead of these consultants? Yes. But otherwise this isn't a big gotcha.

I want to explain to Va Tech fans that on Saturday our newly promoted playcaller was drawing up brand new plays on his iPad, but I understand Blacksburg is more of a Samsung Galaxy Tab II town.

Past-his-prime writer pens a second script about a no-longer-cool social network exclusively used by old people; movie feels "behind the curve"

Change we can believe in

How it feels being a Cal football Fan in 2026.

UPDATE: we're 0.5 games out of second. Still on track for the ACCCG.

Go Bears!

There is no good reason for mosquitoes to exist in wealthy countries today. New technologies can get rid of the mosquito species that cause diseases like dengue, yellow fever, and malaria; and others can prevent them from carrying those diseases. worksinprogress.co/issue/mos… So why do mosquitoes still exist? In a new article for Works in Progress, Maya Rosen explains how state incapacity and risk aversion led to over a decade of delays and billions of unnecessary bites in the United States. Oxitec, for example, engineered an Aedes aegypti mosquito in such a way that its female offspring would die before adulthood. Through sustained releases, they showed they could reduce local mosquito populations by 80% or more, in field trials. They sought approval from the USDA in 2010, which then passed it to the FDA, which passed it to the EPA. In 2020, the EPA allowed them to conduct limited field trials in the Florida Keys. Two years ago, their experimental permit expired, and they still need another review before it can be used routinely. Their proposed field trial in California was withdrawn after public opposition. Another company, MosquitoMate, developed a technique involving Wolbachia, which also suppresses local mosquitoes. They then spent over fifteen years working through the system before finally receiving commercial registration nationwide in 2024. It seems that, sometimes, the barrier to getting rid of diseases isn’t technology at all. It’s policy and political will. New products shouldn’t get stuck in regulatory review for so long, especially if the delays are about basic questions like which agency has oversight over the product, rather than testing for safety. Though some of those uncertainties were being addressed, the broader changes haven’t materialized. After Biden’s 2022 executive order, the agencies planned to update how their coordinated framework was implemented. But Trump rescinded the order last year. Meanwhile, the EPA unit that reviews new mosquito control products is still a small office backlogged in reviewing a wide range of products. Mosquitoes are a policy choice. We can get rid of them. Will we choose to? worksinprogress.co/issue/mos…
