I give this book to everyone. Tufte works through hundreds of syntax patterns and their effects on the reader, using real examples drawn from every type of writing (sci-fi, literature, non-fiction) imaginable. This book is a fucking joy and my copy is filled cover to cover with notes.

First baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a 14-year, $500 million contract extension, pending physical, sources tell ESPN. A monumental, no-deferral deal to keep the homegrown star in Toronto for the rest of his career.

I like to rank the films I watch on a 1-10 scale. Every so often (as someone who dorks out about measurement), I worry about my ranking process because very few things ever go as low as 6. So, in that respect, I would like to thank the Minecraft Movie for being my first 3 of 2025.
