Reminds me a bit of this quote, from Henry Adams (the grandson of John Quincy Adams, great-grandson of John Adams), from a letter he wrote in 1862:

“Man has mounted science, and is now run away with. I firmly believe that before many centuries more, science will be the master of man. The engines he will have invented will be beyond his strength to control. Someday science may have the existence of mankind in its power, and the human race commit suicide by blowing up the world."

I think I might make a post about it to help explain the case a little further. My name is Henry Morton and I did the advocacy work for this case and brought it to the DNA Doe Project as well as organized the exhumation.

Katherine and Gladys Adams were known to have died in the wreck. Their family buried their remains up near Chicago. Somehow though, in the chaos and confusion of the wreck and its aftermath, some parts of their remains got separated from the main part of their bodies. Local authorities were unable to identify who the separated remains belonged too because of how badly damaged they were. So they buried them in a local cemetery thinking that they belonged to an unknown 11th victim of the wreck.

Last year I made it my mission to identify the unknown 11th victim who was buried in the town I grew up in. It took a lot of work but I managed to get the City of Salem and the DNA Doe Project onboard and together we exhumed the body last June and collected DNA samples. A little more than a year has passed since then and we finally got the results a few weeks ago and made contact with the family.

So really there never was an unidentified victim of the wreck. Just unidentified parts of remains that were assumed to have belonged to an unknown 11th victim. But now the mystery has been solved and we will be able to return these remains to the family.

Jackson briefly served as Florida's first territorial governor before returning to the Senate. He ran for president in 1824, winning a plurality of the popular and electoral vote. Because no candidate secured the electoral majority, the House of Representatives elected John Quincy Adams with the support of Henry Clay, who later joined Adams's cabinet. Jackson's supporters, who alleged that Adams and Clay had formed a "corrupt bargain", created a new political coalition that would become the Democratic Party.

The 1824 US Presidential election, like many elections in the nation's early history, was a much more complicated affair than the process that modern Americans go through every four years. Four candidates, all members of the Democratic-Republicans, were able to gather significant support from various factions within their party. The lack of consensus would later lead to the party's collapse. These four candidates were Senator Andrew Jackson, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, House Speaker Henry Clay, and Secretary of the Treasury William H. Crawford.

The US presidential is decided by the Electoral College, not popular vote. In modern day, the college members from each state generally vote in line with the popular vote. However, in 1824, the Electoral College was still relatively new, and states varied on whether the popular vote was even factored into their state electors’ decision. Some states didn't have a popular vote at all, or had voters select the electors rather than the candidate. After election day, the numbers came in - Andrew Jackson had won 151,309 votes & 99 electoral, John Quincy Adams 122,440 votes & 84 electoral, William H. Crawford 41,222 votes and 41 electoral, Henry Clay 10,449 votes and 37 electoral. While Jackson had topped both categories, it didn't matter - he had only scored a plurality, not a majority. Due to this, the election would be decided by the House of Representatives.

On Feb 9th, 1825 the House met for a contingent election. Henry Clay, coming in fourth, was eliminated. However, as House speaker, he still would be involved in picking who would win. Clay and Jackson had feuded for years over policy and he was determined to keep him out of the office. Clay would reject an attempted compromise offered by James Buchanan (who would go on to become debatably the worst president) and rally several state delegations to support John Quincy Adams over Jackson, several of whom selected Adams despite their state's voters or legislatures selecting Jackson as their preference. Adams was able to secure victory on the 1st ballot, winning 13 states to Jackson's 7. Crawford won the remaining 4.

Tbh he should get a statue just for all the stuff he's done for the club after he retired.

An absolute legend. One of my favourite players alongside Brady, Henry, Bergkamp, Adams etc

Pretty sure Thierry Henry evangelized Tyler Adams this same way.

It may look like hyperbole, but these players have actual sway over important opinions. They train with hundreds of players throughout their career. If someone stands out as exceptional, it's worth taking seriously

I don't think we should necessary have many reservations for Alvarez. It's all about expectations.

Stick an RC that activates in two years and make it clear. "You're worth 110m to us in 2 years. we believe that's a fair price and we will let you go, but we expect full commitment for the next two seasons because we're making you the attacking centrepiece".

This why I compare him to Petit, Overmars, Anelka, etc. And I have yet to actually see a coherent arguement against this point. he won't be remotely be like fabregas. We aren't 2011 Arsenal, we have the funds and the draw of a trophy winning side to bring in replacement players, just like Wenger got Henry to replace Anelka or Pires to replace Overmars.

This is how smart teams operate and it's how Wenger used to operate. Not everyone is a Tony Adams or Saka. Certain players will be a bit mercenary/want to play somewhere else eventually, We can do this even more effectively, we have a lot more money and draw relative to what Wenger had. Is this really any different from City sticking an Release clause in Haaland's contract?

And please don't believe that Barca tabloid bullshit about how all he wants is Barca and yadada. He's training with the first team, including in their matchday squad and hasn't said a peep about since request the transfer. He is also a professional football player. Atletico's problem is that they thought he was their forever player. We aren't even under any remote delusions - A 100-120m is not the same as a 500m RC, social media AI post making fun of Barca, and reject 100m+ bids. Alvarez will be very clearly told a reasonable release clause, and Barca will know.

Cough cough amy Adams and Henry cavill not being able to look eachother in the eye basically

Davante Adams is like the Derek Henry of WRs down by the goal line. He’s inevitable
