the average NYC-based company is like "we are a boutique alternative asset firm specializing in speculative rare earth metal prospecting in the Congo" while the average Chicago-based company is like "we are the world's third-largest producer of mustard"

Amazingly it was an American who was chased out of Detroit who was hugely influential in the Japanese quality revolution. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Edwa...

Every thing all of our messaging tells us we need more Nothing tells us we have enough True abundance is knowing that you are enough

Sports is pain

Herro my beautiful boy. I own your jersey! I met your aunts in Milwaukee! If anyone says I talked about you they‘re liars and jealous of what we have!

Prime you suck!!!

"We lost grandma yesterday." "Oh, I'm so sorry. Who took her?" "Stockard Channing." "Oh, well, at least THAT must have been fun!" "It really was."

“Corporate media executives are selling out the 1st Amendment to curry favor with corrupt politicians” - James Talarico Here’s the interview the president and Paramount wanted to prevent you from seeing.

That is perhaps the most crushing individual sport moment I can remember Absolutely crushed for him

I signed up for @rodger.bsky.social's newsletter because I think he's funny! I was not ready for the depth and grace that he brings: -the Norwegian gold medalist who just lost his best friend, the bravery of Naumov, the Andorran skier overshadowed by Vonn's crash. Real people, covered beautifully

“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

if you remember the FBI + ICE + local raid on a horse race track in Wilder, Idaho that detained hundreds of families (including many kids & U.S. citizens) the @acluidaho.bsky.social just announced a lawsuit. The complaint is just as disturbing as previous reporting www.aclu.org/press-releas...

As good an opportunity as I'll ever have to post this video of Nate McLouth (born and raised in Muskegon, Michigan) showcasing some of the best Dominican Spanish you will ever hear in your life.

This curling match is wild

Quad God does just enough 🇺🇸 What a battle with Japan

The highest honor I may have ever achieved on Twitter was when Scott Hanson read and responded to my tweet about my love of Gold Zone during work hours Hanson calling me “brother” had me ascending to the moon www.tiktok.com/t/ZP89hB6Lc/

Should I buy a wFinland women‘s hockey sweater for everyone in my family now or just start with one for myself.

GOLD ZONE

Instagram doesn’t let you easily share Reels as videos but this really made me laugh www.instagram.com/reel/DUZi3BH...

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

So flourishing is a crime now

In the meantime, we should stop blithely printing these silly police reports, which always implicitly exonerate the driver, if a driver is mentioned at all. (They're always "cooperative" in the presence of a corpse.) They only normalize traffic violence and our collective refusal to address it.

and since Luther was honored as well😂, might as well watch one of my absolute favorite moments in music history

I’ve figured it out: “Yacht Rock” is when white people like R&B

"don't be clever, just be brave" is most of the rest of our lives, y'all

For The Ringer, I wrote about how amazing it was that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara finally became a superstar in her 60s, and how sad it is that she was taken from us just when we had all finally begun to appreciate her:

Eating Doritos with chopsticks is such a baller move. And watching curling on a Wednesday morning instead of school is the LIFE! These kids are winning.

"Good omnipotence by Towns," says Clyde, calmly and matter-of-factly assigning to the Knicks' All-Star center limitless and absolute power over all creation

How do we organize a national sing along of “Na na nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!” LA, Chicago Minneapolis, Charlotte, Maine all join in

Currently in love with this song. open.spotify.com/track/3NZrvp... but you know me- give me a simple vamp-y melody that slowly build in emotional intensity and I’m in!

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Both of the Minnesota Martyrs were murdered at age 37. I looked up Psalm 37. Here are the first 2 verses: Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.

We’ve covered lots of losing local teams on the back page of this paper. But none with a record as bad as the Chicago DOJ during Operation Midway Blitz: 0 convictions 11 charges dropped 3 no-billed cases 1 jury acquittal

It’s only on YouTube! My administration will rectify this oversight youtu.be/s16jWtaxJLg?...

In this clip from 1970, Paul Simon explains how Bach's version of the Medieval Hymn "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" ("O Sacred Head, Now Wounded") was a direct source of inspiration for "Bridge Over Troubled Water", Simon and Garfunkel's greatest hit.

I would like to seea musical with “early in the morning“ by the Gap Band as the villain theme. That jangly little guitar line just creeping in every time the villain comes on stage

LLMs are creating two productivity traps; work slop and summary addiction. 1. Work slop is glossy filler + buzzwords that still needs a redo or the trash. 2. Relying on AI summaries feels efficient until you realize nobody understands the actual work. Work slop then drives even more summarizing.

but to see a woman say with kindness "I'm not mad at you" before being murdered by state authorities, who have now gone on to claim her killing was just and right, and we're here making the case she was acting with righteousness and killed unjustly this is just Martyrdom

"I hate you all because you destroy my dreams!" - Arturo Toscanini, while rehearsing the NY Philharmonic

Woah! Harbaugh! Right choice, right time, but gona take me a while to get used to it

Interpreting these as: Stayed = spent at least two nights in a row. Visited = went to for a day and/or slept overnight. Stopped = I was in a car/train going somewhere else and got out to walk around. Passed = I was in a car/train the whole way through.

This is so good Is this Fooprints? I’m getting Ahmad Jamal’s version off Digital Works

Sports is pain

And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

I've been following Yukio Akamine online for 20 years. During this time, the world has seen Myspace and Facebook get overtaken by blogging platforms such as WordPress and Tumblr, which in turn got overtaken by social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter. 🧵

Gotta be the greatest holiday-specific hoops performance since Denzel Valentine hit a game winner for Michigan State on 2/14

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has announced the great Carmen de Lavallade has died at age 94. A dancer extraordinaire, of course, and could act too. Here she is with Harry Belafonte in the often overlooked 1959 noir, Odds Against Tomorrow. It's a small role, and she totally steals the scene.

All history is the history of the social, political, educational, and linguistic qualifications required to sit for exams to enter the civil service.
