How about a hand for Sean Clark, Adam Noboa, Liz Johnstone and Melissa Mack.
The brains behind the livestream. These guys took the idea and made it real, from TN-7 to Election Night this week and 22 primaries in between. (Josh Braun too, who is getting well earned Zzz’s!)

NEW: Last school year, a 7th grader viewed 4,700 YouTube videos during class.
An 8th grader viewed 5,700 videos in class.
A 2nd grader viewed ~500 in just 2 months.
Less than 5% were educational.

A 10-month @NBCNews investigation reveals how the corpses of the poor were systematically cut up and leased out — to major medtech companies, universities, the Army and beyond — as part of a flourishing business.
When confronted by our reporters, the program was suspended, the executives were fired.

Perplexity is scraping the work of journalists at Forbes, CNBC, Bloomberg and other pubs, claiming its tiny, missable footnotes are fair credit. In our case, it also lifted text and artwork.
