Woohoo! I got all the words in the Apple News Quartiles game.
When you submit your game to an online store in the hope they will sell it for you and the store reply with a list of changes to make before the game is accepted, not making the change and, instead, writing a long boring text about how the rules are stupid and you know better is a very bad idea and will lead to your game being refused. The rules will not be changed just for you

An American millionaire big-game hunter has died after being crushed by a group of elephants during a hunting expedition in Gabon.
Ernie Dosio, a 75-year-old vineyard owner, was hunting yellow-backed duiker, an antelope species, in the central African country of Gabon when the incident occurred last Friday. While in the Lope-Okanda rainforest, he and his guide unexpectedly came across five female elephants accompanied by a calf.

Making good progress on wrapping up the server manager for ARK Survival Ascended. Migrations from the old installation seem to be working, start/stop, configuration updating, terminal watching, and now mod support is coming together. Won't be long now before I can finally wrap up this phase and continue on the community features.

California Democrats are proof positive that humans are not an intelligent species.
Here in Calif we have a unique primary system - a single primary for *all* parties. The top two move onto the general election, the rest are out of the game.
So here we have two R's splitting a smaller part of the electorate and a dozen D's splitting a larger part.
The result is that it is likely that the two R's will get larger vote counts than any of the dozen D's. Thus *o…
One more thought...
One of the more toxic elements of the whole "manosphere" thing relative to dating is the application of game theory to relationships. They've got people trying to "maximize their dating potential" or whatever, trying to find the "most attractive march" (which is it's own fucked up thing I'm not even going to dig in to). But that whole mindset is basically going to always leave you miserable.
Oh, you're single? You need a partner. Oh you have a partner? Could you get a "better" one?
It turns relationships into the endless pointless grind of capitalism. Fuck that. None of that shit makes sense. No matter how "well" you do in that game, you always feel like a loser. Everyone does. Fuck that game. Quit.
The constant desire makes you miserable and your misery makes you unlikable. When you let go of it, you leave room to experience what is instead of constantly imagining what could be.
You will always be able to imagine a better "could be" than what is now. By comparing your situation now to that "could be" you will always see your situation as bad because it's worse than your yardstick.
Is your situation good for you? Is it serving you? It can be good and it can also be possible to make it better. When was the last time you just experience your life instead of trying to strategize your way into "something better."
Throw away the yardstick. Something something Buddha.
Edit: all this is of course aside from the whole objectification thing, which is it's own whole set of fucked up. But yeah... All that shit is real bad news.

The name of the game is insider trading.
Which is a crime. People do serious time for it.
It’s clear why Wharton is such a desirable signing this offseason. He creates chances and is so calm in possession. 3 of the 5 big chances for Palace were his. His stat line for this game is stellar.
You see rumors of #LFC being in for him. United too. I hope LFC do go for him. Fantastic player and LFC need a proper DM.

Coevolutionary dynamics of cooperation, risk, and cost in collective risk games
Lichen Wang, Shijia Hua, Yuyuan Liu, Liang Zhang, Linjie Liu, Attila Szolnoki

Abstract: Addressing both natural and societal challenges requires collective cooperation. Studies on collective-risk social dilemmas have shown that individual decisions are influenced by the perceived risk of collective failure. However, existing feedback evolving game models often focus on a single feedback mechanism, such as the coupling between cooperation and risk or between cooperation and cost. In many real-world scenarios, however, the level of cooperation, the cost of cooperating, and the collective risk are dynamically interlinked. Here, we present an evolutionary game model that considers the interplay of these three variables. Our analysis shows that the worst-case scenario, characterized by full defection, maximum risk, and the highest cost of cooperation, remains a stable evolutionary attractor. Nevertheless, cooperation can emerge and persist because the system also supports stable equilibria with non-zero cooperation. The system exhibits multistability, meaning that different initial conditions lead to either sustained cooperation or a tragedy of the commons. These findings highlight that initial levels of cooperation, cost, and risk collectively determine whether a population can avert a tragic outcome.

Victoria Mboko and Mirra Andreeva,
the two highest-ranked teenagers in the world, prepared for their marquee Miami Open fourth-round match in an unusual manner.
Aside from being the two protagonists of the freshest rivalry in women’s tennis, they are also great friends,
and so they spent the afternoon before their big match against each other competing on the same side of the net in doubles.
Mboko and Andreeva are ranked No 9 and No 10 in the world for a reason.
An adjustment today to Crystal Palace’s setup and press has been to send the long ball into the channel for a flick-on header to a runner in space. Gakpo has been particularly excellent at finding his connecting runner.
It has opened up the game in a way Palace weren’t expecting.

Good win.
Woodman continues to impress. In my book that’s a clean sheet, even if technically not.
Jones was brilliant. My MOTM. I know he wants to start regularly and I don’t understand why Mac Allister is always preferred. But #LFC should not let him go.
