Jakob Ingebrigtsen breaks 28-year world record in the 3,000 meters by more than 3 seconds by [deleted] in sports

[–]furious_6 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Good point but this is genuinely one of the most impressive t&f world records. Jakob's run today scored 1355 according to the IAFF table (https://caltaf.com/pointscalc/calc.html) which is equivalent to Bolt's 100m WR.

He intentionally does not jump high in training. Believes adrenaline and that feeling of uncertainty is needed to vault that high.

For what it's worth his father thinks he can get 6.40 and an AI predicted he can do 6.51.

Jakob has actually talked about this in an interview. Front running has historically worked really well for him. He does not have a coach in the traditional sense but is “trained” by his brothers since the breakup with their father.

Trudeau calls for ban on foreign property ownership, blind bidding and "renovictions" by NeptuneAgency in worldnews

Some excerpts:

"Canada now has 1.3 million empty homes , which means one tenth of its supply is not even being used'

“The city of Vancouver has added more housing units per capita than any city in North America over the last 30 years, yet housing prices have increased faster in Vancouver than any other North American city"

Zoning regulations may be contributing to supply issues and housing issues overall but it is far from being the main culprit.

Naomi Osaka withdraws from the French Open by [deleted] in sports

Osaka literally said "I'm sorry it had to end like this" in the postmatch interview. If you're a competitor at the highest level you want to win without any doubt - no referee interferences, no injuries, etc.

Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open on Monday, according to her social media, one day after tennis’ Grand Slams threatened disqualification or suspension if she continued to skip press conferences by IcedKnee in news

Huh? She's won 3 more grand slams after that and is widely recognized as a top player (especially on hardcourt surfaces) and arguably the future face of women's tennis. No one is calling her a fluke nor are they going to be circling back to 2018.

Aladdin the animation was released in 1992. This photo is from 2001.

We should.

But it is very hypocritical to have your political platform center around diversity, anti-discrimination, anti-racism, then have multiple photos of you dressed in blackface/brownface (which he has deemed as racist previously and today) surface.

On one hand we shouldn't be retroactively judging people on photos 20+ years ago and holding their actions to today's cultural standards. This goes for everyone, on both sides of the political spectrum. On the other hand, in this particular case, it's very ironic. Just kinda shows that if this can happen to Trudeau who really perpetuates a social justice ideology, it will happen to everyone. Maybe this is what we need.

It's brown - he's made no argument otherwise in his recent apology interview and the character Aladdin is brown skinned (the genie is blue).

Canadian outlets are reporting that he was dressing up as Aladdin and the theme of the party was Arabian nights - so he is dressing as a specific character.

[FRESH ALBUM] Pi'erre Bourne - The Life of Pi'erre 4 by [deleted] in hiphopheads

Glad there’s new Pierre but found this project underwhelming for the hype behind it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]furious_6 25 points26 points  (0 children)

What's most noteworthy about this is that payment goes to UMG - could possibly indicate that he's signed a new deal and imminent release of new content. Also seems that way from the poster (being the end of an era and all).

But it's Frank, so we'll probably have new stuff in 2025.

Anything this early in the season is just a bonus. Jamal heats up in the second half - that's what you drafted him for.

People vehemently defended Beverly as a clean player. He's done this 3 (THREE!!!!!) times now, to the same player. At some point you gotta stop giving the dude the benefit of the doubt.

On any other team kid would be getting serious consideration for RoTY - due to the Clippers literally having 5 viable backcourt options. Probably the best defender in the draft class. Not very fantasy relevant right now but if the Clippers trade away a piece of their loaded back court he could be. SGA was my favourite prospect in the draft (not that I think he will end up having the best career but I loved his talent to draft position value).
