HANG THAT GOAL IN THE LOUVRE OMG ARSENAL I LOVE YOU GABBY JESUS YOU WONDERFUL MAN

Trossard I am sorry I ever doubted you

ODEGAARD IS BACK AND COOKING

Still can’t get over that David Raya save. One of the best I’ve ever seen.

John has written a phenomenal book on George Washington and his relationship to slavery. I learned so much. I hope it’s widely assigned in schools and widely read by everyone.

That’s a real heartbreaker. Last kick of the game. Oof

Really loved this conversation with Matt Shaer on the Origin Stories podcast. We get deep into the weeds of my approach to writing How the Word Is Passed and narrative nonfiction more broadly. Talked more about my writing process here than I have anywhere else. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

CUFA closes today’s sessions with a fireside chat and book signing from bestselling author @clintsmithiii.bsky.social. Thank you, presenters and attendees! #NCSS2025

I honestly think Arsenal’s second 11 is still a top 10 team in Europe.

My son’s favorite song is now Indecision by Sampha all because the Arsenal social team used that song in Eze’s unveiling video when he joined the team. We play it every time he scores.

Eberechi Eze is quite good

Amazing season. Amazing team.

This is a first!

I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

“We owe it to our young people not to lie to them anymore. A democracy whose citizens operate with fundamentally different understandings of the past and its implications cannot sustain itself.”

What a time to be alive

Going to undergrad in the middle of Colonial Williamsburg, then working at the local newspaper, from 2016-2021, meant living every day in a microcosm of the contemporary debate around American history, identity and politics. This article captures that push-and-pull like nothing else I've read.

“It depends on where they come from and how they grew up—what their grandma and granddaddy told them. Because when you tell our story”—she brought her index finger to her chest—“you’re really shaking the foundation of other people’s stories.” -Janice Canaday

Thirty-one years ago, there was a slave auction reenacted at Colonial Williamsburg. Some thought it powerful, many thought it insulting. This summer, I traveled to Williamsburg myself to see how the country’s largest living history museum today tells the story of Black life at America’s founding.

If you want to understand open adoption, it makes sense to start with birth parents—yet studies of them are few. 2+ yrs ago, I began talking w/ birth mothers to try to understand what living in an open adoption is like for them, and what rights or options they might have if challenges were to arise.

Just finished many hours of signing the books you all have preordered from @loyaltybooks.bsky.social.

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Wrote about some of my faves (black holes) www.theatlantic.com/science/2025...

Martinelli has been transformed by the competition we have for places now. Depth matters.

The Republican reaction to Kirk’s murder has been a campaign of state repression that ends with Trumpist toadies deciding what Americans are allowed to think, do and say. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

These are the sort of routine wins Arsenal need for a long season. Comfortable result, shared minutes, a Zubimendi golazo, Noni cooking on the right. Our depth has opened up new levels.

A draw would have been a fair result, but not much you can do about a free kick like that good lord
