I’m a business journalist, author and podcaster, based in Ann Arbor.
Baseball observation: the Tigers more than get their money back by signing JV. A marketing tool to sell tickets Deflects attention from Skubal Kills time until prospects are ready Sells a ton of merch When Kate comes to a game, heads will explode Easily worth $2M plus deferrals.

For perspective, Norway always cleans up at the Winter Olympics. It has won more than 400 medals since the winter games began in 1924. The USA has won 330.

His rants come so often now that people simply shrug and say, “Of course he’s ranting. Of course it set him off.” Americans get tired of things, and in most instances, they lose their impact.

The choices we make now will shape the Canadian auto industry for decades to come. Our new strategy will build a stronger Canadian auto sector, where Canadian workers build the cars of the future and sell them to the world.

Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has won his arbitration hearing against the team, reports ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Has anyone pinpointed the moment when Jeff Bezos went from benevolent owner to dismantling the WP? I can’t believe this is P&L related. As others have noted, he could Venmo the money needed to run the paper, and not miss it.

Jeff Bezos has enough spare change under the seat cushions of his rocket to keep this newspaper afloat. Can't he just pretend that the Washington Post is, like, a $75 million vanity documentary

Serious question: what gives ICE law enforcement power outside its actual authority? It seems like grounds to challenge them in court and take it all the way to SCOTUS.

I know people see his Truth Social posts as performance art. But for better or worse, they serve as a record of this administration. I suspect at some point, they’ll be deleted since they show his progression. So, save them.
