For the last several years, hockey stick companies have been in an all-out race to make sticks lighter. Every new top-end release seems to come with the same message: lighter, faster, quicker release, reduced swing weight, more advanced carbon layering.

Modern sticks allow players to shoot faster, handle the puck quicker, and release shots in ways that simply weren’t possible with older wood or aluminum shaft setups. But somewhere along the way, the hockey world started assuming that lighter automatically means better. I don’t think that’s true anymore. The better…

A major study tracking 1.3 million American professionals has uncovered a troubling trend: nearly one in four workers experiences years of stalled career growth before turning 40. Despite periods of strong hiring, many employees remain trapped without significant pay raises or promotions, exposing a hidden crisis in workplace mobility and long-term earning potential. For years, Americans have been sold a familiar promise: work hard, gain experience, climb the ladder, and watch your earnings grow. But for millions of workers, that ladder appears to have a missing rung.Long before they reach what economists call their prime earning years, many professionals find…

If you grew up in the last few gen­er­a­tions, chances are you did­n’t get much of an edu­ca­tion, if any, in Latin or ancient Greek. One long-made argu­ment for phas­ing them out of cur­ric­u­la in Eng­lish-speak­ing coun­tries holds that room must be made for Span­ish, Man­darin, and oth­er lan­guages actu­al­ly used at scale in the mod­ern world. Nowa­days, when even those class­es face the pres­sure of extinc­tion, advo­ca­cy for clas­si­cal lan­guages exudes an ever stronger con­trar­i­an appeal. “Dead” though they may be, they also live on through not just the Romance lan­guages, but also the mighty hege­mon known as Eng­lish.

She was there to discuss AI ethics with a group of religious thinkers, academics, and leading members of the technology industry. As Sullivan recalls in ​a recent newsletter​, she attended an optional Catholic Mass the first morning, held in an ancient church.
