How the 49ers creatively fit Javon Hargrave and Sam Darnold under the salary cap
It turns out that the 49ers are willing to pay through their ears to add a cornerstone to the D-line, after all.
...
But there was technically some truth in Lynch's words. He did mention the 49ers' need to be "creative" and they've certainly come up with "other ways" of fitting Hargrave and other signings - headlined by quarterback Sam Darnold - into a crowded salary-cap situation.
...
Marathe managed this heavy backload through the dual-bonus mechanism, which he'd most recently utilized to keep Fred Warner 's initial financial footprint affordable during the cap-constricted 2021 cycle.

Good summary here from @samirkaji. It didn’t have to end this way and the consequences for many in the startup community will be severe.

Germany news
Not good to see Germany so far behind the Eastern European NATO states (and incoming NATO states) when it comes to supporting Ukraine.
INTERVIEW: Germany must show leadership and vision' for Ukraine
Scholz's coalition partners, Germany's public and its allies are demanding more but the Chancellor still seems reluctant to give it, he says.
Nowhere was this more evident than in Chancellor Olaf Scholz's apparent dithering over whether Germany would send Ukraine modern Leopard tanks or approve the transfer of tanks help by other countries to Ukraine a situation that frustrated both Ukraine and its allies.
These kinds of decisions were only made possible after months and months of in front of the scenes and behind the scenes pressure and negotiations to get Germany to move the ball forward, Berlin says, adding that Germans should get used to more being expected from their country.
...
Germany is the largest economy in Europe, fourth largest in the world and of course the biggest weapons producer in Europe.

Europe news
Such an amazing story. Breathtaking how bumbling Russia's terror apparatus is up close. I'm very grateful that we have moments in history like this preserved through film making.
It was a fever-dream, a non-stop rollercoaster: David Roher on making Nalvany'
But perhaps no-one could have predicted how world events would make the film, now nominated for best documentary at Oscar and Bafta, even more timely.
We understood the film was of critical importance but couldn't have anticipated just how much the Russian invasion of Ukraine would thrust our film into even greater importance and significance, both for the world and Navalny the man, says Roher from Sundance where he is presenting the film to a live audience after last year's virtual premiere.
...
The power struggle between subject and filmmaker, between politician and documentarian, between a man who is gifted at manipulating and controlling news versus me, is the film's metanarrative and a component I'm quite proud of, says Roher.
...
As the film follows Navalny and Grozev's investigations into the assassination attempt and its aftermath, there are moments that leave both the protagonists and audience aghast: how Grozev discovers the identities of the Russian agents involved in the poisoning; Navalny's decision to return to Russia rather than remain another politician in exile; and the telephone call in which one of the agents confesses on tape.
