BREAKING: America’s $1.7 trillion auto loan market is headed for a crash, per Reuters. Auto loans are now one of the biggest sources of household debt, bigger than credit cards. And the strain is showing: 1 in 5 Americans is behind on at least one loan, the highest since 2010, and the average car on the road is now nearly 13 years old, a record.

Amateur 🧵reviewing some of the plays from Arky game (TV angle only). Play 1 - INT, stunted DL, not a ton of pressure. Throw was just high. Had a WR open on under route and the checkdown was available. Bad throw to the deep WR, DBs playing deep. INT due to QB being awful.

I take people to my private club and they can’t even try to pay. their money (cash or card) isn’t accepted there.

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump administration is reportedly drafting a plan pushed by JD Vance to give federal child care funds to married couples with a STAY-AT-HOME SPOUSE while the other parent works — NYT The program could be $9K per year for these families The goal: make it easier for married Americans to let one parent take care of the children, rather than both work and pay others to take care of the children This could create an incentive for parents to "stay at home with their children" Apparently, this is similar to a MARCO RUBIO proposal when he was Senator 👀 It sounds like this would be under current federal programs, not new laws passed by Congress

Holy shit. My buddy got fucked with a Northwest mutual 10-year deferred income annuity. His entire retirement account. They said it was “financial planning” How do those people sleep at night? He’s a sharp guy so he was probably deceived.

Please remember that Edwin J. Kyle, the namesake of Kyle Field, was born 150 yeas ago today, on July 22, 1876. After graduating from the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas in 1902, he served as the dean of its School of Agriculture from 1911-1944. He is credited with advocating the teaching of agriculture in public schools and established the Texas College of Forestry. In 1904, Edwin wanted to secure and develop an athletic field to promote the school's athletics. Texas A&M was unwilling to provide funds, so Kyle fenced off a section of the southwest corner of campus that had been assigned to him for agricultural use. Using $650 of his own money, he purchased a covered grandstand from the Bryan fairgrounds and built wooden bleachers to raise the seating capacity to 500 people. And that is what evolved, over time, into Kyle Field. Edwin Kyle died in 1963. Shown here: Reveille walks across Kyle Field as the Texas A&M band marches in the background at halftime of the 1956 game between Texas A&M and Villanova. The Aggies won.

Gifted and Talented, or G&T, programs have long been a perennial subject of debate, particularly in New York City, where it has bedeviled mayors for years. Some parents have already washed their hands of the whole G&T business, refusing to participate in what they view as a corrupt system of segregation. But countless others still place significant stock in the G&T designation and what it offers and are comfortable relying on cognitive testing, should it be required, to determine whether a child qualifies. “When your intelligence is the foundation of your self-perception, failing to achieve feels like soul death,” writes Katie Arnold-Ratliff. But if the limited amount of information we have about gifted kids long-term is any indication, most lead, at best, ordinary lives of modest accomplishment. A 35-year study of 677 gifted children found that by age 50, only 12.3 percent had reached a level of “eminence,” defined as “full professors … Fortune 500 executives … judges and lawyers, leaders in biomedicine, award-winning journalists and writers.” This means 88 percent never did. Arnold-Ratliff digs into the myth of the gifted child, and how our notions of intelligence may be inherently flawed: nymag.visitlink.me/9mc2Wh
