Absolutely beyond parody that Dave Chappelle is headlining a comedy show for Saudi royalty after what, a decade of whining about cancel culture

Great short video by TransLink explaining “the empty bus lane myth”

Hello everyone! I am working on a story for The Guardian about how Chicagoans are preparing for the possible arrival of federal troops, following President Trump's statements on the matter. Right now, I'm looking for residents, community organizers, business owners, and other folks to talk to!

I started saying "Oh heavens" as joke when something startled me but I said it often enough that it became a habit and now I am just a guy who says "Oh heavens" when he's startled.

I know things come in runs but I’ll take it. Studying is #plusEV

There appear to be two and only two mainstream opinion pieces now: 1) why the natural disgust and anger you feel is counterproductive and the obvious atrocity that elicited that reaction is complicated; 2) Nazi parents who want to liquidate your child for existing have several valid concerns, too

God people play so weird.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

#ignition $15 #tripleup #onetabletourney. Recently more locked in on decisions after drilling on wizard. More studying to do. Loved @thinkingpoker.bsky.social #GTOWizard coaching about hypothesis testing. The coaching is one of the real perks of #GTOWizard

Watching a GTO Wizard coaching video as a warm-up for this evening's session only to find the coach is quoting me in the video. 🤓

@thinkingpoker.bsky.social Appreciation for free content at Solve4Y. Great course!

Took 1st + 4 bounties on top in #ignition $25 #KOTourney with $10 #bounties. #GTOWizard drills have really been helping clarify my thought process, esp enabling close decisions. Thx @thinkingpoker.bsky.social and @carloswelch.bsky.social for all the #thinkingpokerdaily content and the sub discount

After taking the time to listen it could have been a five minute pod. 1) I broke no rules. 2) Even if I did, those shouldn’t be rules 3) Regardless the penalty was too stiff for the rules I didn’t break 4) Really I am playing the game the way it should be played and if you can’t handle it f-off.

This 8+ yr interview from @thinkingpoker.bsky.social is the best analysis of Kassouf’s role in poker: thinkingpoker.net/2016/10/epis... Andrew and @natemeyvis.bsky.social do just enough grilling of Kassouf but they’re (1) respectful, (2) academic in their exploring the gray area of the rules, &

While I shared Frederick Douglass’s speech earlier, this is always a great reading by James Earl Jones

Check out our interview with Ian Chan below!

Really good interview! Ian is a beast. Honestly I think he is the only person on Twitter who makes me wish I was still on Twitter

This is so beautiful and amazing

Ian is a draw genius. Can't wait to listen!

What kind of mad genius would build their own badugi solver from scratch? Ian Chan, that's who! We discuss game theory, AI, his love of triple draw, and more in this awesome interview! www.thinkingpoker.net/2025/06/epis...

RIP Jane Hitchcock

@thinkingpoker.bsky.social Using Monker, if our opponents are not adjusting properly to an uncapped limp by becoming tighter they are losing a lot. If they ignore our limp and continue to use GTO opening raises we should never open raise, but limp 3-bet a majority of the time.

GLGL @queenfive.bsky.social in the WSOP Women's Event!

Jane was a lovely, fascinating person I only could have met through poker. I begged her not to talk about our coaching because of how much she could have gotten away with by leaning into her "sweet old lady" image. But she insisted on a hug every time she saw me. I miss her already.

@thinkingpoker.bsky.social & @carloswelch.bsky.social Revelation. I started a #GTOWizard RFI drill with 7-10 BB, close calls, from LJ,HJ & CO (I had a hand like this yesterday in a tourney) & the difference between 10 BB & 7 BB opens is huge! Also GTOW seems to hate QTo. Thanks for the sub discount

It was difficult to photograph the Williamsburg, Va, #NoKings rally. But I'd guess a few thousand people turned out

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.
