In an Instagram post, Jeremy Lin announced his retirement from playing basketball. Lin wrote: “As athletes, we are always aware that the possibility of retirement is never far away. I’ve spent my 15-year career knowing that one day I would have to walk away, and yet actually saying goodbye to basketball today has been the hardest decision I’ve ever made. It’s been the honor of a lifetime to compete against the fiercest competitors under the brightest lights and to challenge what the world thought was possible for someone who looks like me.

Leeds and Newcastle shared the spoils in a tight, largely uneventful Premier League clash at Elland Road, with neither side able to break the deadlock in a goalless draw. The first half was cagey and low on chances. Leeds looked to assert themselves early through the pace of Giacomo Gnonto and James, both of whom provided threat on the flanks. Despite these efforts, Newcastle’s defensive structure limited the home side to speculative attempts from distance, the most notable being Stach, whose long-range effort narrowly missed the target. Newcastle’s best chance of the opening 45 minutes came from Osula, whose strike…

Nearly five years since the first U.S. patient got vaccinated to help stem what was then a raging coronavirus pandemic, doctors, patients and pharmacists are navigating a radically different public health landscape. Data point No. 1: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Aug. 27 announced it had approved some COVID-19 vaccines — but for far fewer people than in years past. Data point No. 2: If you tried to schedule a COVID-19 vaccine this week, your pharmacy’s online scheduler might have told you it…
President Trump fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, after July’s jobs report showed very little job growth over the past quarter. Initially, the President accused her of “rigging” the numbers to make him look bad. More recently, members of his administration have tried to reduce the criticism to just that of substantial revisions (one such representative case is Casey Mulligan’s tweet here).
