I never thought I'd be in the NBA Finals and see a team get 23 free throw attempts in the first half to another team's six

Dunno if I’ve seen a half of basketball like that in a very long time. … if ever.

Rest now Giles... You did good.

Updating some slides for a group of New Mexico journalists... can't tell if this goes hard enough...

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

Seems appropriate today... commencement.news.wfu.edu/2020s/c2025/...

The Securities and Exchange Commission has been taking public comments on a proposed rule change that would allow companies to report financial results just twice a year, instead of every three months. Support... has been lacking... 95% opposed so far.

Muscle memory all the way.

“Underneath this smile lies everything All my hopes and anger Pride and shame Make myself a pact not to shut doors on the past Just for today I am free” I dunno if I ever intended to finish college when in enrolled some 32 years ago. I barely knew what I wanted to do with myself.

Well, good morning friend...

Just wanna state for the record that the swamp cooler float is working. It might not in a month, or two months or even tomorrow, but right now, it works. IYKYK

I like to picture a scene out of a Dan Fogelberg song, but instead of a grocery store they bump into each other at like an Office Max after all these years. He reaches for a three-hole punch just as she does too. Old feelings rekindle.

ICE arrested the parents of between 27,000 and 32,000 kids during the first seven months of the Trump administration. We sued the government for records and here's what we found... w/ @wcraft.bsky.social @us.theguardian.com

Extremely sudden mid-decade redistricting means we're getting extra lazy county-district slivers that might have been caught with more time. This tiny part of a county in Florida will be in a different House district than the rest of the county in this area. 4 Census blocks, 0 residents, 1 road.

Open Street Maps being used to show a timeline of events on July 4, when flooding at Camp Mystic led to the deaths of 27 children.

An absolutely poor and reckless idea based on what we’ve experienced and seen over the last 30 years as a society…

The first few minutes after *any* major incident are always full of completely contradictory and confusing information. That doesn't change just because it happens in a room full of journalists. Give it a few hours and we'll have a much better idea of what happened.

AP update… “The Secret Service and other authorities swarmed the banquet hall as guests ducked under tables by the hundreds. “Out of the way, sir!” someone yelled. Others yelled to duck.” apnews.com/article/whit...

What's that you say to me? Does love light up your Christmas tree? The next minute, you're blowing a fuse And the Cartoon Network turns into the news
