David Goffin records his first top 10 win since 2021 and moves into the 2024 Shanghai Masters quarterfinals, much to the delight of his coach
#underestimate this man at your peril#he started the year outside of the top 100#played through qualifying so many times!#won a challenger#made the semis in Winston-Salem#and is now almost back in the top 50#david goffin#tennis#shanghai masters 2024#my screenshots

Different anon, I don't know much about parrots would you be able to expand on why breeding them is unethical?
Only if you have the time / spoons!
I'm too lazy to get really detailed right now, but I don't think we should be breeding parrots to be kept as pets. They have far too complex needs for the average person to keep happy and healthy in their home. Even the very best homes I've ever seen aren't enough, and that includes myself.
I got involved at a parrot specific rescue in 2014 and now work at a vet clinic that sees birds. It's a way bigger surprise to see a parrot that is well cared for than it is to see a parrot that is being severely neglected.
Edit to add: Since you said you don't know much about parrots! They self mutilate pretty bad when they're depressed. Anything from just pulling out feathers to ripping holes in their skin with their beak. We see this all the time at the clinic and we saw it even more often at the rescue.
#ask#we had a goffin cockatoo we rescued when I was maybe 15 who had ripped a hole into his chest so wide I could have stuck my thumb in it#that was actually when i fell in love with parrots#amazing little guy

Earl-Jean - I’m Into Something Good (1964)
This Goffin-King song was made famous by Herman’s Hermits, but this is the wonderful original by Earl-Jean McCrea of the Cookies.

if you're ever in any doubt about whether serve accuracy trumps serve speed there's this stat from goffin v zverev (it was shown after a few games but i assume it didn't change too drastically during the match)
average first serve speed - zverev: 213 km/h, goffin: 169 km/h
david won the match in straight sets, with both of them having almost the exact same first serve percentage (65% vs. 67%) and number of first serve points won (65% vs. 67%), david got less 'free' points (3 aces vs. 8) but defended his second serve much better (58% vs. 41%). exact same amount of points won on return (31) but david generated and converted more break points (4/11 vs 2/7)
in conclusion: a serve that was on average over 40 km/h slower (assuming the serve speeds didn't change too much later in the match) was pretty much exactly as effective as the faster serve - in this match and under the specific conditions (if you don't know what i'm talking about here ask daniil medvedev, he will tell you all about the conditions in shanghai :D)

The Cookies - I Never Dreamed (1962)
I attempted to post this song this morning but I messed up and posted the equally wonderful I’m Into Something Good by Cookie member Earl-Jean instead. This song is one of my faves.
