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.

They called him Air Miles Andy because he put in so many on trade missions. The nickname should have been something different.

Good, because people are going to get sick.

Meanwhile, the youngest Japanese figure skater and the most senior Japanese skater are 1-2. Both were gorgeous on the ice. But you would never know that from this framing.

There is going to be a big story in this (it’s already developing).

But your PCP gives you 20 minutes and some health systems limit you to one complaint per visit.

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.

RIP Robert Duvall who played the scurrilous Max Mercy in The Natural among his other fine roles. youtu.be/LNMzcTPFi8A?...

An honor to be part of the farewell show!

It’s really bad when you read the latest inflation numbers and think, “Okay, what are the real numbers?”

Our ace talks about the new guy.

They. Were. Great.

Wow, the Canadians are 1st! Guaranteed to medal. Chock and Bates up now.

ELP is back open. But keep an eye on the FAA.

Key jobs data in this thread.

UPDATE: ELP airspace has reopened.

That shriek was from me. Lord knows whether this will work but it will be entertaining.

Let’s hope for our sake in Michigan that he TACOs this. So many livelihoods depend on the Gordie Howe Bridge opening.

IKEA’s social media team is killing it.

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.

Skubie got his payday. I hope he gets more down the road even if we lose him.

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.

Not the pitcher on whom I would have spent money.

Once the Tigers’ rookie of the year.

But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.

The irony, among many sad ones today, is that Posties were some of the highest paid people in daily journalism. They generally made much more than NYT staff, and people sometimes jumped there for raises.

Closing Sports. Closing the Book Section. Metro and International shrink.

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

The Tarik Skubal arbitration hearing will be Wednesday in Phoenix, per @theathletic.com I hope he gets every dime. www.nytimes.com/athletic/701...

I watched this and teared up. RIP, dear Catherine. youtu.be/UKTIziMILYM?...

Ron Lauder, Kevin Warsh’s FIL, has been a full-on proponent of taking over Greenland.

Honda has been making “humanoid robots” since 2000. Hurry and catch up!

Middle Powers, Austin Powers’ North American cousin.

Hoping that @nprfreshair.bsky.social will post today’s interview with David Gelles. An excellent discussion of how the WH has wrecked environmental policy.

Vive la France. 🇫🇷

Estimates of the population now in Mexico whose residence a year earlier was the US. There's been a spike in the number of *US-born* people who have moved to Mexico. www.census.gov/newsroom/blo...

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.

Do not f—- with Belgium.

Final Hall of Fame election results. 59 percent for Utley and almost a 26 percent jump for Felix!

On @npr.org Newscast at 4 pm: “Trump ticked off a series of accomplishments during his first year…” Give. Me. A. Break.

It’s a high bar but the Hoosiers cleared it. Congrats from Ann Arbor to @mcuban.bsky.social and all the Indiana fans.

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.

Not to be, but what a season.

DA BEARS! Now win this.

This is great. Ohtani Betts Freeman Tucker

Cash tags are back!

No. 3 was JT’s number :(
