The pleasure of sitting with a coffee and reading latest print issues of NYRB, NYTBR, and LRB -- vs reading things on yr damn phone -- is incomparable

In the House, "meaningful progress" is being made on SCORE Act. In the Senate, Rs and Ds disagree over whether collective bargaining is the best path forward. Th bottom line: Don't expect a bill on Trump's desk anytime soon. Dispatch from Capitol Hill:

Prediction markets deep dive w @BenHorney @BakerMachado and me: - Polymarket MLB deal - Where the other leagues sit (how soon til NBA, NFL do it) - 8 new bills right now but mostly political grandstanding - Parallels to DraftKings and FanDuel ~2015

The Political Backlash to Prediction Markets Has Arrived. MLB deal + all that viral fake news on social finally grabbed the attention of the pols... now it's a race to build enough mainstream legitimacy to not get quashed.

Tune in to the Netflix opening day pregame show where you’ll see the comedian who takes his shirt off, the disembodied hand from from The Addams Family, an NFL backup QB, WWE wrestlers, and Barry Bonds.

As a school that made the NCAA Tournament, we would have loved to share more content - and we even invested in the ability to do so. That said, I also understand how media rights work and the significant investments these companies make to secure them.

NEW: Teams aren't posting many (if any) game highlights during March Madness. On X, they're posting GIFs or stick-figure drawings. On IG/FB, they're limited to just 1 minute--or forced to pay thousands. The reason: March Madness content licensing rules. https://frontofficesports.com/why-teams-arent-posting-their-own-march-madness-highlights/…

good prompt here. BWW for me even though I'm a Beck Bennett fan

What's the 2026 March Madness commercial you're already most sick of?

Men's March Madness, Women's March Madness, and the Valspar golf tourney in a 4-box. March rocks.

This was fantastic. Shifts perspective from the parents of two boys killed in a bombing, to the terrorists (reminded me of Dubus III's Garden of Last Days), to a boy who survived the same bombing... continually surprises you. and obv timely right now.

"7th-year senior in his fifth and final college stop" a perfectly normal phrase to hear uttered during March Madness broadcasts
