The Astonishing Toughness of the Army’s Best Rangers - The Atlantic
This event is not well known. It is not televised. Not one participant is sponsored by Nike. But the Best Ranger Competition may be the hardest physical competition in the world. Fifty-two teams of two soldiers each start the Ranger Olympics. Over the course of three days, the field is narrowed as soldiers march and run dozens of miles, crawl through obstacle courses, and navigate swamps at night. They carry 50 pounds in their rucksacks, climb 60-foot ropes, and sleep, at most, for four hours at a time. All told, the average competitor burns more than 30,000 calories.
The evolution of these sheets mirrors the broader data revolution in football. What started as instinct and memory has become a blend of video analysis, statistical profiling and behavioural study. Elite clubs and teams now track every competitive penalty an opposing player has taken, building a database that maps preferred sides, shot heights and strike patterns.

Earning More but in Worse Shape: Hardship Overwhelms Many American Families - WSJ
Nearly 10 million American children are living in poverty, the most since 2018, according to the latest Census Bureau figures from 2023.
Tens of millions more—like the Meazler kids—are precariously close. Their families have been pushed to the edge by a storm of economic factors, including the expiration of Covid-era relief programs and the impacts of inflation on food and housing.

Parents Are Gaming Their Kids’ Credit Scores - The Atlantic
Credit scores are meant to be neutral measures of someone’s financial reliability, but in practice, they’re an easy way for some better-off families to give their children an early financial advantage. A range of services promise to help parents ensure that their kids enter adulthood armed with good scores. On TikTok, “generational wealth” influencers tout the benefits of authorized usership. Fintech start-ups, such as Greenlight and GoHenry, advise parents on establishing a credit history for their children. And financial institutions such as Austin Capital Bank promise to improve children’s future credit scores with programs that allow parents to authorize the bank to take out and automatically repay loans in their child’s name.
