Question for people deeply invested in the “Who’s better, Jordan or LeBron?” debate (or other, similar debates). Let’s say it is unequivocally proven that “your guy” is the best. Ok, now what? How has your life changed?

Absolutely iconic campaign on both sides of the pond. Yet no brand has tried a similar serialized campaign of this nature since. Crazy.
Sad to hear Anthony Head has passed away. The Gold Blend “will they, won’t they” ad campaign was a cultural phenomenon, an ongoing saga that lasted for 6 years, captivating audiences of 30 million. The inevitable kiss even made front page news. A landmark TV moment. RIP Anthony

This is incredible work and I implore every Arsenal fan to read the thread of how our season went, stats-wise. These were the parts that stood out to me:
Arsenal: PL Report 25/26 I worked on a team report alongside that Garner report. Since this has taken a lot out of me, my brain needs a reset. I can't be touching anything data related for a while (except for my job🙁) PDF here in case you prefer it: github.com/yureed/arsenalrep…

Great interview. I recently purchased Peter's The Intelligence Intellectuals, and have a Q&A of my own with him coming out later this year for my Cold War TTRPG.
I recently sat down with the @spymuseum's @sashaingber to discuss the role of academics in reshaping the CIA. We unpacked CIA’s reactions, the institutional tensions they exposed, and why the debate still matters. youtube.com/watch?v=mPhbq69K… Get the book: shorturl.at/tpaiJ

Instead of their daily, “You’ll never believe what Trump is doing today” 24/7 programming (spoiler alert: Yes, I will), maybe they could spend all that time naming and shaming the shitty Dem politicians who allow this to continue with no plan.

Bloody hell this is the best video so far. Banger song too. Sorry, I think I’ve got something in my eye.

People who scream about Mikel Arteta's sideline behavior are the same type of people who lost their minds when Barack Obama wore a tan suit. They have no real issues to criticize, so they make things up to get worked up about. #COYG #Arsenal

When City caught #arsenal about a month ago, all I heard was that the Gunners were going to bottle it. But it was City that scrapped to get two draws in games they needed/had to win. I better hear a lot of pundits and journos telling me how City bottled it.

My top two #Arsenal summer transfer targets: Camavinga: Didn’t make World Cup squad so he’ll be fresh and with something to prove. Summerville: Upgrade on the left wing, and will be available with West Ham going down.

For everything technology gave modern espionage, it took something we are still trying to replace. The KGB used to mark suspected @CIA officers in Moscow with spy dust, a chemical tracking compound that followed them through the city. Today, that dust is digital, the metadata trail we all generate by carrying a phone, swiping a card, or walking past a camera. Running a CIA source under this "ubiquitous technical surveillance" and "digital dust" asks something different of intelligence officers. Yet human nature still drives every operation. When it gets harder to sit across from a source and read them in person, it gets harder to tell a double agent from the real thing. This is why the answer is still human. CIA needs to hire the best, train them hard, and let them take risks.
