Oh, what?

I don't think being a public employee makes you "primarily famous for government"...

4,5,12. Primarily famous for something related to US politics or government.
Jack Swigert's main claim to fame is that he was an astronaut.

Alright. There's a good chance we're looking at a diplomat here.
I can't find one that fits the criteria of both the birth and death date ranges, and who ran unsuccessfully for office.

Why is the main women's professional league less popular than watching young amateurs play at college?

Nobody in the UK watches University sports teams.

Re: Tragedy of the Commons: a social experiment (game thread)

I have an ability to move the legal amount of fish you can fish a day up or down once. I don’t know exactly what happens if you fish over, but i think if you do, you get a tag which makes it so you can be punished in court, which is why i asked if anyone had the court ability. Move it back down, pl...

Shocked and disgusted fans of Iowas Caitlin Clark could not beleive her starting salary in the WNBA will be around 70k per season. It begs the question, if you are shocked and outraged why werent you watching the WNBA before? Surely if they are "fans of Caitlin Clark" they must already be watching ...

The recognisably moder...
