You put Rick Rubin sitting yoga style next to a bag of weed remover and a certain type of guy is bound to call it “utterly awe-inspiring.”

I finally return to work next week. I am grateful for my company's generous leave policy. I am also ready to experience the world again, such as the sensation of e-bikes splattering me with muddy grime as I walk across the street in Lower Manhattan.

Folarin Balogun, the US’s leading scorer in the World Cup, was born in Brooklyn, after his Nigerian parents, who resided in London, were visiting New York and his mother was deemed too far along in her pregnancy to board her return flight.

Unofficial World Cup songs used to slap. See New Order’s “World in Motion” with a cameo rap from England forward John Barnes. Absolute corker. The World Cup used to be a proper tournament:( youtu.be/Re4aDJL3heA?...

Yes, which is why so many of the sports top fighters these days are Muslim wrestlers from Dagestan, Russia.

I've reported on Musk for around 8 years. I've co-authored a book on him. I don't think folks understand the rate of his wealth accumulation. Shortly after he helped elect Donald Trump in Nov 2024, his net worth was around $350 billion. That net worth has nearly tripled in less than two years.

Jerry Seinfeld saw OG’s winner and literally hit em with a “what’s the deaaal with this gaaaame?”

I dug into the Alt5 saga for CNBC. In August, the elder Trump brothers celebrated a deal that saw the family earn a half-billion dollars. On the other side of that deal was a little-known stock, then called Alt5 Sigma. It has turned out very poorly for Alt5's investors, who have taken 93% losses.

I have a friend named Spencer Pratt and in high school the evil reality tv Spencer Pratt asked to buy his MySpace handle. My homie said no. I think this was the catalyst of evil Spencer Pratt’s downfall.

My subway take is if you’re going to Turkey to get hair plugs, you have to make it like a bachelorette party. Send out paperless post invites. Get all the boys together. Wear a sachet and a tiara. Live, laugh and love. www.wired.com/story/how-tu...

Congratulations to Nick Bilton, a man known for pensive chin scratches and saying “well, actually,” a lot.

The Knicks are the 3rd NBA team ever to win 6 straight games by double digits in the playoffs. The others: 2009 Cavaliers and 2004 Pacers. Mike Brown was the head coach of two of those teams, and an assistant for the other.

This Knicks blowout is forcing me to do arithmetic and I don’t like it
