Speaking of which, one of the convicted (then pardoned) Jan 6 rioters, Elias Irizarry, just got a job at the White House as a counterterrorism officer… Perhaps firsthand experience stress-testing the fragility of democracy counts as relevant work history.

Surfing had some stiff competition for eyeballs this weekend between the Knicks vs Spurs, World Cup and MMA sporting events happening in tandem.

Sharp Eye took a sizeable stride, with Fioravanti’s first CT win and Luana Silva’s QF finish.
