Once again, I must ask: Why can’t we make four-day work weeks the norm??

Proud/not-so-proud moment: My dog understands the word “pup cup” and now we’ve created a monster.

How do we make four-day work weeks the norm?

Two of my all-time favorites — Chuck Daly and Nellie. So happy for Nellie to earn this honor. He’s the best.
31 NBA seasons as a head coach. 1,335 regular season wins. An all-time great NBA legacy.

Congrats to Don Nelson on being named the recipient of the 2025 Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award 👏

Northwestern is deficit spending ~$10M/week to keep their research going while NIH invoices and new awards are not being paid. Admirable for NU, but not sustainable.
Northwestern has not received any NIH funds since March. No written communication about why or what can be done. Thank you Ben Singer for raising awareness at #ATS2025

He is the NBA’s all-time winningest coach and winner of five NBA titles.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

I know I'm not the only one who thinks it's suspicious that the pope died the day after meeting JD Vance.

In its indictment of @VOANews the White House says: "In March 2019, Voice of America ran a segment about transgender migrants seeking asylum in the United States." Which in a different era was called journalism.
