SINNERS. Go see it. In a theater. 70mm if possible. I’d read nothing about the movie, watched no trailers — went in blind and was BLOWN AWAY. And Delroy Lindo better get an Oscar nomination.

Paige Bueckers didn’t need a title on her resume to make her an all time great. But she joins the long line of UConn legends who won a national championship under Geno. Happy to see her and Azzi finally healthy and achieve the potential from day 1 at Storrs.

Paige Bueckers on the hug with Geno: "Yeah, he told me he loved me and I told him I hated him, so ..."

Pretty crazy that this is UConn’s first national title in 9 years. No one ever imagined a program like this could see that kind of drought. It’s a testament to how their excellence set the standard and lifted the entire sport. This is well deserved, especially for Paige Bueckers.

Harris: We are in the midst of seeing progress being rolled back, policies that we birthed, being rolled back, the terms that we used for what is progress in America being turned into a pejorative? Intended to deny the facts. And to deny smart policy…

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

As Donald Trump turns the United States into one of the closest allies Russia has worldwide, it's worth revisiting the news item below, which came out immediately after Trump won a surprising victory in November:

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Really loved this piece by @nicksylvester.bsky.social about the necessity of inefficiency—in governance and art—and what happens when it’s sacrificed in both worlds. I’m biased but I think his substack (mostly about music) is terrific + everyone should subscribe: open.substack.com/pub/smartdum...

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.

There is bipartisan support to cut red tape and make the government better. But that doesn’t involve giving an unelected billionaire complete control. DOGE is not a government agency and Elon is not a government employee or appointee. Is the GOP just a bunch of lemmings?

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

Sometimes your suffering will seek an outlet of blame. Unfortunately, it’s often the people closest to you that bear the brunt of your frustration. Take a mindful moment when you’re hurting. Please don’t unleash your pain on the blameless.
