Red Sox uniform rotation this weekend: Green Yellow Yellow White with Boston across the front

Sports owners are using tech to build private surveillance states — while taking public money. Which means that Knicks owner James Dolan is the future. In a new collaboration with @wired.com, we go inside how MSG secretly watches fans, surveils kids, tracks players… youtu.be/yNZ3hJPN5Vc?...

We all have days like this

Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!

🎁 The @sfchronicle.com details how it got the Swalwel story, how it worked to get the accuser to come forward, how it raced CNN... Really interesting account of how journalism actually works. Gift link: 🎁 www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

Large parts of the business of keeping the US military fed were privatised to civilian contractors. And then last year DOGE started making cuts in those civilian contractors. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

That said, skills-based is a bipartisan area of agreement that Trump 1.0, Biden and Trump 2.0 have pursued. Tech skills can be learned lots of places other than higher education.

Huge UX improvement - shoutout Google Calendar. No longer need to figure out "what time zone is this city in?" It's the small chef's kiss things...

"Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous—whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light....Supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way....And then I see the disinfectant...by injection inside or almost a cleaning."

When a USAID whistleblower told Trump people that it'd be hard to pull together accurate info on Malaria since DOGE had turned off access to the whole team who worked on that issue, one of the guys shouted “See, this is why, just because it might work at Twitter does not mean you can do it here!”

Good to see (belatedly, for me). Job mobility is critical for upward mobility. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

As the planet gets hotter, cities around the world are experiencing rain storms with record-smashing intensity. I spent the last few months visiting places -Copenhagen, Hoboken, & NYC- that have adopted a counterintuitive idea: the safest city is one that can take water in. In @newyorker.com

tough road trip for Vance

STL batter gets HBP, goes to 1B .. but the Red Sox successfully challenge it didn't him .. so it's a ball .. then STL challenges that actually it was catcher's interference, so the batter goes *back* to 1B I have never seen that. I don't think anyone's ever seen that.

Here’s hoping NYC’s new regs have spillover benefits for the rest of us.

Interesting from Red Sox/Cardinals. Sox are away team but don’t have names on their road jerseys, while Cards are home team and have names on theirs.

I think we are far beyond the point where a serious person can plausibly claim that the immigration courts are offering a fair adjudication consistent with foundational principles of the American legal tradition. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/u...

Very relatable to the average American, who has six boat loans

BREAKING: the judges who dismissed high-profile cases in immigration court against two international students who have advocated for Palestinian causes, Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi, were fired yesterday, alongside four other judges. /w @haleaziz.bsky.social and @nicknehamas.bsky.social

If only we had some kind of bureau for consumer financial protection… hmm… (how else was FIFA going to pay for its so called peace prize?!” www.nytimes.com/athletic/718...

This was so. good. from NYT cooking: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f5i...

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Science is good. We should fund it.

The signature that changed baseball forever: On this date in 1947, Jackie Robinson signed his first National League contract with the Dodgers. He would make his historic debut with Brooklyn five days later. ow.ly/HQxn50YGZzj

One of my personal unexplained mysteries: why the State of California posts jobs with salaries listed "per month" and not annually. I've only ever seen this on California jobs, and I'd bet good money that most people immediately go and multiply by 12... In this case: courts.ca.gov/job/senior-a...

You know, when I lived in the other place, the one that some people decry as socialism or whatever, I could confirm my pay as you go taxes for the year in a few clicks on a free website. Anyway, many hours with TurboTax later, I’ve filed my 2025 return. Please clap.

Angel in the Outfield (seats) 🤩

Sox fans on point booing villainous Manny Machado at every opportunity.

An actual region that exists in the United States is "North Central West Virginia"—they even have an airport named after it. I am on the hunt for any U.S. place name that can top this with the inclusion of *four* directions, which is not merely 33% more deranged but actually 10x more deranged.

Is it a good sign or a bad sign for a president when a popular sports figure is denouncing your immigration policies on a widely watched March Madness broadcast?

Retweet. Also the range on this show may be unparalleled.

This is super interesting — and helps also answer my question about why ICBM missile control bunkers were always this sea foam green:

I very much miss the DC metro architecture. Also, a great quote that really applies to so much more than trains/transit/commuting: "But for me finding something exciting in something so mundane makes life so cheerful."

One of the things I miss now that I live in NYC is that beautiful brutalist baby the DC Metro. Happy Birthday, we love you.

merits of the story aside, now I want more stories datelined “ABOARD THE CRESCENT” etc

I do think European teams should more seriously consider boycotting the World Cup. Enjoyed this piece: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I was lucky enough to take an economics seminar with Claudia Goldin in college—love to see this on so many fronts.

Crime in the United States has dropped immensely in the last 35 years

Let the flag guys play!

Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot.

“Every $1,300 New York City invested in building bike lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to one additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.” That’s a better return on investment than some direct health treatments…”
