We all know he's pardoning Pete Rose for *tax evasion*, yes? Like this has nothing to do with gambling, or the Hall of Fame, or really anything

Journo friends: Take some time to fill out/share this survey by a former colleague at Mizzou on Al and journalism. We all see the potential effects on our industry, and research is needed now more than ever. missouri.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Jumping on @wnyc.org in a few to talk about the Yankees finally -- finally! -- lifting their beard policy

Was so honored that @janesports.bsky.social asked me to tee her up with some questions to discuss her new book, The Fast Track. It's a detailed, thoroughly researched, timely, and important tome on the history and business of women's sports. (Support authors and your local bookstore!)

Huge thanks to the fabulous @kavithad.bsky.social for coming to my local bookstore and helping launch The Fast Track. Great venue, great night and I’m so happy to have chronicled this moment in women’s sports.

Death, taxes, and your gate being at the furthest end of the terminal

Honored to be a part of it! Go buy Jane's book, it's a super comprehensive breakdown of the business of women's sports

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I wrote about why it seems everyone's rooting against the Chiefs -- sure, there's a fair bit of jealousy, but it also has to do with our notion of "fairness" in the NFL www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

What are your Super Bowl plans this weekend?Earlier, @kavithad.bsky.social previewed the game ahead of the big day. www.wnyc.org/story/your-s...

The world is on fire but my mom sent me this wonderful reminder of where I come from and why we continue to fight: my grandma and her nearly all-woman staff at Saidapet Maternity Hospital in pre-independence Chennai, still under British rule

I'm sorry, we're really still doing this? "...released from the team following a legal incident" -- there was video of him pushing a woman to the ground and kicking her. I believe in second chances and redemption when earned, but we gotta use precise language (now more than ever)

It's quite incredible to me that nobody's written about the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina on the eve of another Super Bowl in the Superdome (If I'm wrong, please send me recently published things to read!)

You can read about the project this photo is from here, about the most stereotypical thing USAID does: utilize relationships with agriculture researchers to develop better producing seeds, and education campaigns centered on more effective fertilizer use. This specific one doubled rice production.

Tonally these are all the same

Oh COME ON

Nico Harrison gotta make it into both the Under Armour *and* Lakers HOF now

There are three players in the league I wouldn’t trade for Luka: Jokic, Shai, Wemby. That’s the list. The Mavs didn’t get all the Lakers picks; they didn’t get Austin Reaves; they didn’t go to auction. Luka better look like late-era Elvis by Christmas or this deal is cooked

Explain to your sports friends what's happening at the U.S. Treasury by saying Elon Musk is doing to the government what Nico Harrison and Miriam Adelson just did to the Dallas Mavericks

Madddddyyyyyy!!!

Djokovic-Zverev: I'm rooting for the asteroid

Can’t wait for the “will they, won’t they” sexual tension between the Philly Phanatic and the Pirate Parrot over bsky

Lol as I said five years ago (congrats Ichiro)

The biggest shit-talker in the group chat is a Lions fan who hates the Pats, and now the Pats fan is having a field day 😂

My toxic trait is that I always forget my loyalty card when I'm getting my eyebrows threaded so I probably have three free threading sessions spread across 25 cards

Breaking News: President Biden said he would commute the sentences of nearly 2,500 nonviolent drug offenders in one of the broadest such actions by a president. nyti.ms/4gWwZ3n

I wasn't clamoring to try a Crumbl cookie, but someone offered me one, and y'all, are the kids okay? These cookies aren't good

This is exactly how this alert should've been worded

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

RIP Ueck. Glad I got to celebrate you at your house this summer

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

What the hell did I just read

"OptumRx, the group’s pharmacy benefit manager, along with its two main peers, Express Scripts and CVS Caremark Rx, have pocketed an extra $7.3 billion over cost thanks to price gouging, according to the findings of a report by the Federal Trade Commission." Lina Khan really is That Girl.

2025 in a nutshell…

My bus driver just made an announcement that we're a few minutes ahead of schedule and we have to wait at the stop. Do you know how far ahead of schedule that means we are?! Congestion pricing is the tits

Aren't we all

Rather than pursuing the "Canada should join America" nutjobbery, maybe we should ask why Canada is offering people a better shot at achieving American dream than America is. www.brookings.edu/articles/has...
