The only thing dumber than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame leaving out Phish is the gatekeeping around what "Rock and Roll" means. Nothing says rock and roll quite like an argument about made up rules!

Wout van Aert is to bike racing as William Stoner is to academia. At least Wout's family life appears happy.

Dem leadership in DC is largely feckless, often enraging, and worthy of admonishment. Lumping all Dems into this bucket is not helpful. The next generation of Dem leaders are working away from the national spotlight in their local communities, maybe even yours. Get to know them.

Annual reminder that days get longer in the spring regardless of how we set our clocks. And also light in the morning is objectively better for your health than light in the evening, despite whatever motivated reasoning you use to believe otherwise.

Signed up for my typical two-month spring subscription to Flo Bikes so I can watch the classics and am reminded about why I hate this service so much. Expensive, but full of ads. And of course it doesn’t have a simple sign in method—love typing in email/pw with a tv remote and on screen keyboard.

Wow, an incumbent member of the system defending it against legitimate criticism??? This is exactly the kind of content America is looking for. Our institutions are fine! Those things that seem bad are actually good! (This is sarcasm. Ichiro—and many before him—should’ve been unanimous.)

Yes, I know a lot of us are going through some stuff right now, but the frequency of booze related clues and themes on @nytimes.com games is really excessive and kind of off-putting. Certainly don’t see references to tobacco or cannabis…

There is nothing interesting about wealthy corporations fighting over money, but it is interesting that between 2018 and 2023 MASN lost more than 40 percent of its subscribers. Maybe instead of fighting for a smaller pie they can make a bigger pie by streaming games? Radical, I know.

Let’s try something: I’m at the Oakland Mills vs Liganore HS state semi final football game. I won’t write posts specifically for this but I’ll copy the texts I’m sending my friends Here we go!
