www.nytimes.com/athletic/640... Chisholm is correct about his own position. He doesn’t have the leverage that Devers has to be selfish. But Devers is not a guy you want as a teammate. A guy who will do whatever it takes to win. Trade him to a team that wants a poor-fielding third baseman.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

www.nytimes.com/athletic/639... As I wrote the other day, the guy is a dangerous asshole, but to the New York Times, he’s just got a “champion’s mindset”. FIA won’t sanction him meaningfully, because … sponsors … and they have already stolen one championship from Lewis Hamilton to give to him. 😡

Here's a New Yorker writer on Curtis Yarvin, influential "thinker" for the Trump administration. Yarvin suggests "buying" North Korea, but almost certainly this deal was offered by President Obama when Kim Jong-un acceded to power: "Take the money and run, allow a democratic vote." And Kim said no.

www.nytimes.com/athletic/639... Unquestionably a great driver, but at the same time, without doubt a colossal asshole and a dreadfully poor sportsman … this has been true since he made his debut.

Trump bragged about spending $1B bombing Houthis while getting Reaper drones shot down and losing two fighter jets to the bottom of the Red Sea while accomplishing nothing and leaking it in Signal, while “you don’t have the cards” Zelensky wipes out 40 bombers deep inside Russia.

I am sorry that my country has descended into fascism but I feel some satisfaction in knowing that my belief that we are a nation of stupid assholes has been vindicated.

“… the potential length of the match is what matters.” Yes. If your TV contract limits you to one match in the nighttime session, and it might be 39 minutes long, that’s not good entertainment. And guess what? You’re in the entertainment business. #FrenchOpen

open.substack.com/pub/thejaded... I've written some (very short) political fiction. In these times the line between fact and fiction is blurred. This features a character whose resemblance to the chairman of the law firm Paul, Weiss is purely coincidental. #paulweiss #biglaw
