Fulfilling our promise

"While scrolling YouTube late one evening, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. The algorithm—which reliably fed me videos of contact sports like rugby, soccer, hockey and football—had taken a left turn and offered up synchronized swimming instead. Now, I have never been drawn to swimming, where the contact is with water, not people, and where I consider the drama level (rightly or wrongly) to be low."
