100 hours of free internet on a CD-ROM would fix me

Knicksommar in Sweden with the @theringer.com.web.brid.gy sickos (current time: 3:20am and sun is rising)

And we are live! Massive thanks to everyone who contributed to this. Reading your posts made me so much madder than I ever knew was possible

"(The Knicks: a matryoshka doll of interregnums!)" High quality work here from @katiebakes.bsky.social and @howardbeck.bsky.social. As far as fleeting joy goes, I would have added a dollop of David Lee. The man went for 37, 20, and 10... in a loss.

NEW YORK KNICKERBOCKER BASKETBALL www.theringer.com/2026/06/01/n...

Reading this @katiebakes.bsky.social & @howardbeck.bsky.social chronicle of Knicks ignominy over a salad at Hillstone, an experience I’ve enjoyed near Charles Oakley many times at this location, was so rough that I had to order fries midway thru to comfort myself www.theringer.com/2026/06/01/n...

Only thing better than @katiebakes.bsky.social or @howardbeck.bsky.social writing about the Knicks is BOTH writing about them together www.theringer.com/2026/06/01/nba/new-york-knicks-nba-finals-2026-moments-history-trades

If they made Dazed and Confused today it would be set in 2009.

This enhanced games debacle reminds me of the last time a bunch of Thiel acolytes attempted (very clumsily) to star a sports company. From my book

this is fine

thinking about this rendering of Jalen Brunson that my son shoehorned in a few months back

💯 - best in the biz. here’s my Breen profile from 2016 www.theringer.com/2016/06/08/n...

The timeline: 1. Jennifer demands CJ McCollum “win a playoff game” 2. McCollum makes this his life goal 3. McCollum stuns Knicks with back to back playoff wins 4. Knicks refocus and reach their on-court peak 5. Greatest 10 game stretch in basketball history Thank you Jennifer

His sales pitch is “you can turn sand into thought.”

www.gq.com/story/how-ph... Super cool stuff on the visuals and how it was done. As someone who got into #phish because of the light rig, and tends to visualize the rig when listening not at a show, this is real cool. (But it’s Kill Devil Falls not Kill Devil Hills).

MUSK V ALTMAN DEBRIEF www.theringer.com/2026/05/21/t...

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

I asked around but nobody knew your jumper :(

right back where we started from

MAJOR PERSONAL ANNOUNCEMENT @edsbs.bsky.social and I will be at Ann Arbor's Downtown Library on June 27, where we will rank history's greatest shipwrecks. It's free, like the dark embrace of the sea, and we would love to see (sea) you there. Come through!!

wrote about knights, knaves, fools, concern trolls, bridges, jurisprudence, and Scam Altman www.theringer.com/2026/05/15/t...

The linesmen's names tonight are Bevan and Kiel.

honestly love this guy wasn't antiabortion enough for the true believers and was too antivaxx for the normies but what got him fired was refusing to endorse flavored vapes. everything is so incredibly stupid now but sometimes it is funny www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

I used to run a meetup in NYC for tech/startup people interested in the legendary NHL 94 video game...Shivon was (is?) a huge hockey fan/player and showed up all the time. So freaking weird to see her so involved, shall we say, with Elon all these years later...

hello hello from the federal courthouse in Oakland California. Sam Altman is on the stand! (previously: Bret Taylor said he was embarrassed that he doesn't actually remember how much he makes in salary as an OAI board member but that it is "around the order of 200k" - hate when that happens to me)

In honor of yesterday’s official Millennial Song thread, I am putting on the official album of elder millennials, Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds: Live at Luther College.

nadella calling the altman ouster "amateur city" is the most unfiltered take we've gotten from microsoft on that whole week

back on my bullshit (sitting in the courtroom for Musk v Altman, surpressing a snicker as Judge YGR yells with thunderous righteousness at an attorney)

Today is the NBA Lottery. I wrote about desperation.

Before Keanu Reeves became a Hollywood star, he worked as a reporter for CBC and covered a teddy bear 🧸 convention in 1984.

I live close enough to my kids' school to hear the closing bell and it's the ultimate "roommate's key turning in the lock" sound

just remembered I shoehorned the Playboy Q&A into a Grantland piece about the Ted Turner 30 for 30 more than a decade ago - my love is pure grantland.com/the-triangle...

farewell Ted Turner. One of my all-time fav documents is this 1978 Playboy Q&A with TT - this is the very first answer and it goes on for 20 more pages (PDF) andrewtytla.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

update: W U T

what the HELL is this depraved NHL Draft Lotto format it is causing me psychic damage

the hAuNtEd MaNsIoN just came up again at Musk v. Altman. Greg Brockman recalls: "There was, like, confetti and cups all around. It was Elon, Sam [Altman], Ilya, Shivon... Amber [Heard] served some nice whiskey. Elon asked her to be part of the conversation [re OpenAI.] She didn't really want to."

www.bloomberg.com/news/article... this article has my mind wandering to what life must be like for the protagonist of THE MARK AND THE VOID

The president of Cornell backed his car into a student and a recent grad after a campus debate on Israel-Palestine. Then he lied about what happened in an email claiming he'd been the victim of harassment. Then, magnificently, Cornell's student newspaper found a video of the incident
