Jérémy Doku Could Be More Than Just A Killer Wiggle

Jérémy Doku Could Be More Than Just A Killer Wiggle

Is Jérémy Doku's trademark shimmy the most unstoppable move in the Premier League today? With the Kevin De Bruyne Cutback now beheading daisies in Serie A, I'm hard-pressed to even come up with a local challenger to the Doku Wiggle. Doku's move was for me the star of the weekend, as the Belgian winger executed one of his most memorable, merciless, and effective shimmies to utterly flabbergast Luke Shaw and set up Phil Foden for the opening goal in Sunday's Manchester Derby. The match ended in a 3-0 City win, and stands as solid evidence both that United still has not yet hit rock bottom, and that Doku has not yet hit his talent's ceiling.

You will hopefully forgive me including a link to Twitter here, as I cannot resist showing you the following video, which allows you to really savor Doku's exquisite piece of skill in slo-mo glory:

La Vuelta Collapses Miles Short Of Its Own Finish Line

La Vuelta Collapses Miles Short Of Its Own Finish Line

The worst-managed Grand Tour in recent cycling history ended in a fittingly ramshackle manner on Sunday, with the final stage of the Vuelta a España canceled due to overwhelming anti-genocide protests and no official podium ceremony for the riders who had just destroyed their legs for three weeks. Instead Visma put together a makeshift podium composed of three coolers with numbers Sharpied onto them in front of an official Vuelta banner duct-taped to a van. In a Madrid hotel parking lot, a big bluetooth speaker pumped out "Eye Of The Tiger" as Visma's Jonas Vingegaard ascended the cooler, and the jersey winners doused each other in champagne.

The Mac App Flea Market via Jim Nielsen

Click any diagram to get Wolfram Language code to reproduce it. What Are Lambdas? It’s a story of pure, abstract computation. In fact, historically, one of the very first.

Social Media and the Charlie Kirk Killing

Almost immediately after Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, videos were circulating on social media, and many people saw the gruesome crime without meaning to just by logging on. Adam Clark Estes, senior technology correspondent at Vox, talks about how little content moderation big tech companies are doing these days, how the algorithm fed off people pausing to watch the video, and how content like this may traumatize vast swaths of people.

Paul Frazee blogging on Leaflet about whether Bluesky’s AppView should be renamed to more clearly convey what it does:

At this point, it seems better to just call it an App and then explain that the data gets stored in the PDS, like a kind of universal cloud filesystem or datastore.

The Cost Of Gun Violence On Black Life

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Trymaine Lee's new memoir, A Thousand Ways to Die: The True Cost of Violence on Black Life in America, is part history, and part personal. He traces the bloody history Black Americans have with firearms, recalls the gun violence in his own youth and follows his ancestors’ path back to Ghana. The book reads like a plea for people to see the humanity of those lost to gun violence — and for this country to care enough to act. Lee spoke with Tonya Mosley about the toll of writing about Black death. 

Also, Kevin Whitehead reviews a new anthology of Joni Mitchell's jazz connections.

While age-gating often creates new problems, I like the fallback in this New York law:

Under the proposed rules for New York’s SAFE For Kids Act, social platforms must serve unverified users or kids under 18 only chronological feeds or posts from people they follow, as well as ban notifications from 12AM to 6AM.

Fair intro in Jason Snell’s macOS 26 review:

macOS 26 Tahoe is two things at once: It’s the broadest and most productivity-focused update for macOS in years, while also taking collateral damage from Apple’s broader design ambitions on its other platforms.
