If you’re a tennis fan and you’re not watching the Venus/Fernandez matches you’re missing the best story at the US Open.

Walken turns 82 today. 🎂

Although he made SNL’s “More Cowbell” timeless, Will Ferrell’s initial stage directions called for “more woodblock” — not “cowbell.”

Said @ditzkoff.bsky.social: “We would not be talking about the sketch today if it was Christopher Walken saying 'I need more woodblock.’”

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

Musk was on the verge of losing his Tesla stock because of Twitter. Having xAI buy Twitter unencumbered his Tesla stock. So now, only Tesla’s shareholders and BoD can solve this problem.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

Sadly, this is a fact.
If I were to guess which baseball player's name I have heard and read in print more than any other during my life, I'd say probably Tommy John.

If you have a library card, in the U.S. and possibly elsewhere, you can read millions of books for free through the Libby app.

Modern libraries are my favorite place in the world.

I cannot believe the level of cool free stuff that's available now! I loved the library as a kid, but if I grew up with resources like these I probably would have lived there 😂

More of this, please.
I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity."

He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...
