It’s the first week of summer — culturally, if not meteorologically. Changing of the seasons is a great time to start anew on some things, like redistributing vaccines for example; and to stop doing other things, like Facebook’s policy carve outs for politicians or the NFL’s shocking “race-norming” practice. We’ll talk about all of it, plus a whale vomit jackpot.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

  • “Biden admin reveals plans for first 25 million donated vaccine doses” from Politico
  • “NFL to halt ‘race-norming,’ review Black claims” from ESPN
  • “‘Race Norming’ Blamed for Denying Payouts to Ex-NFL Players With Dementia” from the University of California, San Francisco
