India And China Secure Border Patrol Agreement
India And China Secure Border Patrol Agreement The deal is seen as a significant thaw more than four years after deadly clashes shaped relations between the two Asian powersIndia and China have reached a landmark agreement on military patrols along their disputed border, marking what some are calling a thawing of relations after years of tension following deadly clashes. For months leading up to this agreement, both India and China signaled intent to mend fences. India and China fought their last major war over border disputes back in 1962 — another ghost looming over current dialogues. India's relations with China remain complex, like tenuous threads strung tightly between collaboration and conflict. For him, sealing the peace agreement can be cast as no small feat, as Pramit Pal Chaudhuri, head of Eurasia Group’s South Asia practice, insightfully noted.

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo calls team 'soft' amid six-game losing streak
The New England Patriots lost 32-16 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday, making it their sixth consecutive defeat. First-year head coach Jerod Mayo did not mince words when speaking to the media after the game about his team’s play. That’s being able to run the ball, that’s being able to stop the run and that’s being able to cover kicks. "I saw guys getting out-leveraged, I saw a punt down the middle of the field, which is always difficult to cover," Mayo said. Mayo opened his press conference on Monday addressing the comments about being a "soft football team" he made on Sunday.

Social media companies have insisted their technology is politically neutral, a claim their conservative critics have turned against them to devastating effect. In Texas and Florida, Republican lawmakers passed legislation in 2021 that would restrict the ability of social media companies to moderate their own websites. Officials from both states explicitly said the laws were intended to keep social media from unfairly silencing conservatives. Notably, the court left the Texas and Florida laws blocked for now and tacitly allowed the Biden administration to keep communicating with social media companies.

Jason Gay - WSJ - Nails It
Gay is a bit of a weenie NY sports writer. His primary point is that sipfan behavior is sort of indicative of where the country is headed. They should have stuck with their original call and tagged the home team with a penalty on the fans. He admits it was a bad call, but basically meaningless in a game in which tu was being manhandled. He eventually devolves into whining about having to review the toe position on every NFL catch, etc, etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
