Instagram decided to roll out a new “Muse AI” feature, that lets users create AI images based on people’s Instagram photos.
Then they opted in EVERYONE with a public account

Click your profile picture
3 bars in the top right
scroll down to "Sharing and reuse"
Toggle off for both Posts and for Reels
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

How hard is it to qualify an athlete to D2 or D3 NCAA championships? @ustfccca did the math and only around 30% of the programs got an athlete to Emporia or La Crosse.
Holy cow!
I mean it everybody, I don't ever want to hear statements like:
"I only got one kid"
"I just have one"
Etc
~70% of your peers would love to have just one or only one.
What an accomplishment!!!

Just to be clear:
1. The kid was NOT given an official warning earlier when he yelled in excitement (not toward anybody) after breaking a 20 year old state record. Source: The Athletic, his HS track coach. There's a protocol to this. More than likely, it's the official saying this to cover his ass because the stupid call blew up and looks ridiculous.
He put up 5 fingers to signify 5th championship. The same kind of gesture so many others did when they put a #1 up in the air signifying they won...
2. No one in there right mind would DQ anyone for raising their hand in the air at the line, whether it's both hands, a 1 in the air, or whatever. It's literally done all the time. Both hands in the air at the line is literally the default celebration crossing the tape...
3. Go look through the pics and videos of the same meet and their are literally dozens of kids doing the same kind of celebration or more. None DQd. Expand to every state meet or HS national championship...and if we applied the same rule, a large majority of records would be wiped out...
Which is the point... The rule is vague on purpose to give officials leeway. But too often in track, you have some volunteer official who lets the power go to their head and inserts themselves into the
The point of comparing to other sports. Even crappy calls by officials result in a loss of the play. You score a TD, that play is negated. Not the entire game, quarter, or drive. In track, it's all or nothing. Which is insane. Imagine an entire game wiped out because of a touchdown celebration in a college football game. People would be like WTF...you get a penalty, but it's not catastrophic.
So sure, if you want to be stuck int he 1950s and scream "Rules are rules!" without understanding that the rule on taunting is vague on purpose and see how it's incredibly inconsistently applies...then you do you, live in the 1950s.
But to the rest of us living in the real world, it makes zero sense to erase an entire race because some kid raised his arms in the last 5 meters of a race that was over.

Stop underloading your hamstrings in the gym, the Romanian Deadlift (RDL) crushes sprint-level demands.
New BJSM study (2026) used MRI + EMG + 3D motion capture + musculoskeletal modelling to measure actual muscle force & stretch in the hamstrings (BFlh, semimembranosus, semitendinosus) during common exercises vs. walking → jogging → running → max sprinting.
Key findings:
Bilateral RDL produced the highest peak force in biceps femoris long head (1.6 BW) and semimembranosus (1.9 BW) — significantly more than any other exercise or even max sprinting (p<0.001). It also created the greatest stretch.
Unilateral hamstring bridge came close behind for high force + stretch.
NHE (Nordic) and eccentric sliders: solid force (~0.9 BW in BFlh, similar to sprint) but much lower stretch.
Hip thrust: lower force & stretch than walking — great for early rehab.
"The RDL and unilateral hamstring bridge produced significantly greater peak stretch than any other task across all three hamstring muscles.
The Nordic, often considered the eccentric gold standard, generated lower stretch demands than most other exercises. The eccentric slider was similarly modest."
ryortho.com/2026/03/hamstrin…
Practical takeaway for coaches/athletes: RDL is a beast for building resilience against high-load, high-stretch scenarios (like late swing in sprinting). Use it in later rehab or prevention phases. Match exercise to running speed demands: low-stretch options early, progress to RDL for full specificity.

Allyson Felix 🇺🇸 is coming out of retirement at the age of 40!!!🤯
She announced a comeback, returning back to training with Bobby Kersee, with plans to target the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, where she would be 42 years old.
Felix said the decision is driven partly by the opportunity to compete in her “hometown” at LA 2028, calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime homecoming” and the only thing powerful enough to bring her back.
Felix, a mother of two, said she understands she is not in “peak” condition but is motivated by the idea of attempting something bold despite her age, adding that she would rather try than look back with regret.
She plans to begin racing again in 2027 and ramp up training, though she does not intend to travel widely for international competitions, choosing instead to stay close to her family.
The announcement comes three years after her retirement following a career that included 11 Olympic medals, 7 of them gold, and multiple World Championship titles.
