BYU-Wisconsin being playing on an NBA Cup neon court is an affront to my civil rights. I’m calling my congresswoman.

My preview of Memphis-Purdue, who are two teams that exist on different planets right now.

One top ten in minutes continuity from last year. The other without a single returning minute from last season.

Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:

"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Yeah, I’ve been into this guy’s act for a bit now. He puts out dozens of super bland super obvious protest songs. It’s a grift for sure.

Keep the Prine comparisons far from my timeline.
@stevenhyden.bsky.social had a good write up about the problem with Welles. One worrisome thing among many, he’s been pretty coy about who he voted for in 2024
The (Bland) Ballad Of Jesse Welles
Also: A great new Wednesday album and some good heartland rock from Brian Dunne

what if this growth in my organ is actually a good thing
What if the A.I. bubble “is an inevitable part of developing and adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity and growth?” Mohamed El-Erian writes.
Opinion | A.I. Is a Bubble. Maybe That’s OK.
Investors’ excitement rightly reflects the potential transformation of the entire economy.

A Saint Mary's team with this potent of an offense is a total game changer. If you sort the data on Bart Torvik starting at the beginning of the season, the best two teams in the country are Gonzaga and Saint Mary's.

Meanwhile, Alabama/Illinois is at the United Center and they couldn't bother to slap an Illini logo anywhere on the floor for this 'home' game. Let's get serious going forward, please.

succession has a dizzying number of these lines but kendall’s “give me the double click on longevity so i can see everything. infinite brainbox” replays in my head once a week minimum
A friend of mine has early access to cutting edge corporate jargon, I heard the phrase "let's double-click on that" from him long before anywhere else. I asked him what's new these days and he says it's "the shark closest to your body" for the most urgent issue.
