I think a lot of the terror of the modern age can be understood by the fact that the Internet accelerated the development of the worst type of person, the "Anti-Intellectual Nerd."

Not to take the jam out of your donut, but do you honestly believe private corporations aren’t using AI to manipulate public perception? Outsourcing thinking to algorithms is now part of daily life, even for the so-called intelligentsia. I fail to see how this plays out positively in the long run.

Alcaraz has achieved something that Roger, Novak, and Rafa haven't: successfully defending titles at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Roger and Novak never defended Roland Garros, while Rafa never defended Wimbledon, as he didn't play in 2009.

The greatest compliment I can pay to Carlos Alcaraz is that I was positive I would never love a tennis player like I loved Nadal, who I grew up worshipping. And I believed that with my whole heart until today.

Game-winning shots are still pretty rare in the NBA Finals. Prior to Thursday, the last game-winning shot in a Game 1 of the Finals was in 1997, when Michael Jordan hit this dagger to beat the Jazz. (This is still the most recent game-winning buzzer-beater in a Finals game.)

There may have been a thousand-odd sixes in the tournament, but for sheer execution and context, that four by Shreyas Iyer off a pinpoint Jasprit Bumrah yorker stands out as the shot of the tournament for me.

Evergreen reminder of this oldie: If someone says it's raining, and another person says it is dry, it is not the job of a journalist to quote them both. The job is to look out the window and learn which is true.
