House Democrats on two committees call the action illegal. Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley says he's drafting legislation to freeze the removal of instruments until a full scientific review is completed. The National Science Foundation directed the removal of most of the system’s instru…

This performative display of faith by professional athletes, paired with sensation-hungry media coverage, is a double nuisance. The former is over-staged, the latter simply excessive.

Even if we assume that the diagram is structurally correct, the text contains the typical genAI artifacts (mashed-up letters, misspellings, etc.) that one wouldn’t accept in the main text—so it’s simply sloppy. What’s the point!?
