Tired: Ban sports gambling
Wired: Nationalize DraftKings
There’s also another big reason that explains how they do all of this: they have nationalised sports betting with a company that has to reinvest 100% of its profits in the community, and more specifically 64% of profits goes to sports, which is how high quality infrastructure is available for free

A reminder that last baseball season, our newly enshrined women’s singles Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu threw out the first pitch at a Cardinals game with a pretty sweet double axel on land!

I was on dad duty this morning so I'm going to do a full thread on the Q4 advance NIPA release but I'll start with an explainer here.

The Truth refers to avg level of output in each quarter of 2025 compared to the same for 2024, while the NYT refers to the change in Q4's output vs Q3, annualized.

We all know Donna Summer's version of MacArthur Park, but it was originally recorded by actor Richard Harris and it was extremely overproduced. And singing about the cake left out in the rain makes the song almost a parody. Thank goodness Donna recorded her own version.

Eric Dane has passed away at 53 after a short battle with ALS

He will be remembered by many as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, but he should also be remembered for his disability advocacy

He worked tirelessly to raise awareness for ALS, including how hard it is to get a diagnosis.

After @tdogmedia.bsky.social pointed out a quote I gave to NPR 20 years ago (about the ANTM writers going on strike), I stumbled upon a 2009 column I wrote arguing that reality producers should treat casts like actors--and pay them accordingly.

I still believe it!

It takes a moment for Nakai Ami to process that she's won a medal - I think she saw the '9' next to the Free Skate - & she looks almost happier than Alysa Liu who wins Gold.

Liu somehow manages to avoid turning on the waterworks...
