Dear sports writers in attendance, please bring decibel meters. I want data.

about 80 percent of intelligence is routine in one form or another (procedural work, bureaucracy, office politics), 5 percent of it is extremely cool and smart, and then 15 percent of it is guys like this.

Living my best life at Railbird with @inkyali.bsky.social. It was like mid-90s with a merciless sun, but I got to watch The Wallflowers tear the roof off of Tom Petty’s “Refugee” and “The Waiting is the Hardest Part.” Wish you were here @jupiter2012.bsky.social 🫶

“The Auburn University Board of Trustees on Friday gave itself complete control over course offerings, curriculum, degree requirements and academic credentials while eliminating shared governance at the Alabama land-grant university… The policy leaves many questions unanswered”

Girl trainer is a fluke. Golden Tempo is a fluke. Superfecta box on Belmont says “Where in New York were you born?” Bayesian win on shy money still a win.

After consulting with my attorney I’ve been advised that what I actually want to say about this would be ill-advised so I’ll just say that he couldn’t possibly be clearer about which side of D-Day he’s identifying with

For the poet and novelist @eoghanwalls.bsky.social, a story begins with mulling—an obsession over an often surreal scene. Musician and novelist @themountaingoats.bsky.social, known for his role in the indie folk band The Mountain Goats, interviews Walls about his writing process.

Last year Karl Anthony Towns came to the Bloomberg office and when I rounded the corner and saw him, he was dressed so office-appropriate that my brain briefly went “…tall coworker?” Anyway I still think about Business Casual KAT all the time

Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

Reviewing a document where the notary filled in the “my commission expires” blank with “AT DEATH” in big letters and it’s is so metal. I will notarize your documents until they pry this stamp from my cold, dead hands. 🤘🏻

So Bari Weiss's big win this week is a statement in which the three remaining 60 Minutes correspondents issue a statement saying they'll stay while excoriating the CBS newsroom she runs as a "shabby" "indecent" "dictatorship." Proud moment for all!

Once again, SCOTUS punts most of the big decisions to the end of the term, so they can flee town immediately after by RV, boat, or plane, depending on their donor's whimsy.

No joke, it would be cheaper to pay every coal miner $5m every year to not mine coal. There are only 40,000 coal miners, while the coal industry produces >$500 billion in external costs every year, including by routinely burning coal just to burn it despite it costing more ("uneconomic dispatch").
