Bad Bunny's bushes were having the time of their lives

bad bunny halftime show did a very good job of threading the needle of "insane to get mad at" and also "will make conservatives insanely mad"

How a middle-school sports program called Core Prep Academy became a feeder to elite Los Angeles high schools

Town and Country:

Most parents have never heard of Core Prep Academy, which was founded in 2015 by Todd Wilson, an NBA trainer slash unofficial sports influencer whose Instagram handle is Toddhasaplan (19.2K followers). But it feeds into an uber-striving youth sports culture where just attending practice a few days a week no longer cuts it

After School:

Between 40-50% of Core Prep kids reclassify (i.e. repeat a grade) to gain an extra year of physical and competitive maturity before high school, a practice Wilson says has lost any stigma and now “signals a proactive flex by parents.”

"7 Toronto police officers facing charges related to tow-truck violence" in Canada

CBC:

Towing-related violence has been a major issue in Toronto. In 2024, there were 63 shooting and firearm discharge incidents related to tow-truck disputes

...

The officers are accused of trafficking, leaking addresses to hitmen, and leaking police officer addresses 

A Toronto Life article by Simon Lewsen that includes a profile of lawyers investigating tow truck fraud:

Tow truck drivers are eager to be first on the scene—some are even willing to risk death or injury—because a single vehicle can yield a massive payout. If you’re an unscrupulous driver, the tow fee is only the beginning. Somebody has to fix the battered vehicle, after all. Maybe you refer that job to one of your buddies with an auto-body shop. Maybe, in return, he gives you a cut of the profits. In some cases, you and your friend might even exaggerate the extent of the damage or deliberately wreck the vehicle further.

As for the passengers of the damaged car, they’re going to need a taxi ride home, a rental car for the next few days, maybe even some physiotherapy. You can award these contracts to your cronies in exchange for a piece of the action. Before and after repairs, the car itself has to go somewhere. Perhaps you send it to a lot far outside of town, a trip with a hefty price tag. For every day it sits there, the car racks up storage fees.

NPR:

It turns out that feeling, the ability to shop without being judged, resonated in a different, more profound way for black Americans in the Jim Crow era. Cornell historian Louis Hyman argues the Sears catalog was radical in its day because it allowed black Americans to have the same shopping experience as whites.

"ConocoPhillips Alaska executives eulogized the destruction of Doyon Oil Rig 26 — colloquially known as 'The Beast'"

"The rig was the largest mobile land drilling rig in all of North America, officials said, standing six stories tall and weighing roughly 9.5 million pounds"

@trtworld

The Doyon 26 rig, one of the largest mobile land-based drilling rigs in North America, overturned while being transported along an ice road in Alaska. Weighing more than 4,500 tonnes, the rig tipped over during transit, sparking a small fire. Officials said the environmental impact was minimal and no oil infrastructure was damaged. Built for extreme Arctic conditions, the rig plays a key role in major projects, including the development of the Kuparuk oil field.
