It is interesting how nice it is to learn that some superstar athletes (or any other stars) seem genuinely good people. Carlos Alcaraz appears to be one.

The enigma of Carlos Alcaraz
How can Carlos Alcaraz be so feared on the court -- but somehow beloved off of it? It has never been more apparent than at the US Open.

In a mediocre clash between two mediocre teams, Spurs lucky to win but not hugely so … United didn’t do enough with their possession edge.
These, sadly this year, are my younger bro’s 2 favourite teams, so he couldn’t lose. And didn’t!

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

This has been posted to the @locusmag.bsky.social website. It is a fair bit of the long interview/conversation we had. The full one is in the magazine, of course.

Thread. There has always been a dark side to America, as to all countries, really, held in check by decency and aspiration to do good, but right now it feels appallingly dark and the holding in check is precarious.
1/ The US government has ordered the Swedish city of Stockholm to end its diversity, inclusivity and equality (DEI) programmes within 10 days. The city authorities say the demand is "bizarre" and they won't be complying. ⬇️

It is no coincidence that so much of the US is poor, and the rich have gotten so rich. Stop looking down to find someone to blame. Stop looking at your neighbors to find someone to blame. LOOK UP. Inequality is destroying us.
