    306: Seemed Like A Good Idea at the Time

    A girl signs up for a class. A couple hires an accountant. A group of co-workers decides to pool their money and buy a couple of lottery tickets. In the beginning, they're full of hope and optimism — and then something turns. Stories of good ideas gone bad. Prologue: Paul was a cop. One night he was pulling second shift when he had a perfectly good idea: He'd stretch out in the back seat and take a little nap during his break.

  • Logan Gilbert’s cutter is a good idea

    Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Logan Gilbert has a new pitch. The man who began his career in 2021 as one of the most fastball-heavy pitchers has over time dramatically revamped his slider in 2022, added a splitter in 2023, and now developed a cutter for 2024.

  • Toxic: How the search for the origins of COVID-19 turned politically poisonous

    The Chinese government froze meaningful efforts to trace the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, despite publicly declaring that it supported an open scientific inquiry, an Associated Press investigation has found. The AP drew on thousands of pages of undisclosed emails and documents, leaked recordings and dozens of interviews that showed the freeze began far earlier than previously known — in the first weeks of the outbreak — and involved political and scientific infighting in China as much as...
