Dallas Cowboys sign second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland following minicamp
The Dallas Cowboys sealed the deal on the last of the 2024 draftees this week, inking rookie Marshawn Kneeland to a four-year deal on Tuesday. Kneeland’s was the final signature the team needed after mandatory minicamp wrapped up last week. The other seven rookies signed their deals before rookie minicamp last month. Per Spotrac, Kneeland is expected to earn $6.79 million over his first four seasons, or just shy of $1.7 million per year. His deal comes with a signing bonus estimated at $1.75 …

Its good to have many tests in your R package, but it can be a pain to debug some failing tests when it happens. {lazytest} for the rescue: only rerun the failing tests, until they pass: #RStats

Just a reminder that the extreme right is using toxic masculinity as a way to recruit young men.
While we can easily blame men for being toxic, I don't think it will fix much. We need to create a narrative that speaks to men that feel lost. One that's different than all the toxic shit that's so effective on these guys right now.
There's legions of young men feeling left behind by society, and we need to make sure they don't feel that way before things get ugl…

Finished the Goldfinch. Now what? Have spent around a decade reading sci-fi, feeling like it was largely a waste of time (three body problem, ugh!). Ideas welcome.

An efficient active-stress electromechanical isogeometric shell model for muscular thin film simulations
We propose an isogeometric approach to model the deformation of active thin films using layered, nonlinear, Kirchhoff Love shells. Isogeometric Collocation and Galerkin formulations are employed to discretize the electrophysiological and mechanical sub-problems, respectively, with the possibility to adopt different element and time-step sizes. Numerical tests illustrate the capabilities of the active stress based approach to effectively simulate the contraction of thin films in both quasi-stati…
