As the Trump family’s crypto dealings raise more alarms, crypto enforcement is falling to new lows

Denni Barrett, CEO of Magical Adventures Balloon Rides, says the weekend backyard mishap is a “very rare” occurrence.

Victor Wembanyama when asked whether he feels the weight of legends like Tim Duncan, David Robinson, and Gregg Popovich in the building:

I wouldn’t say weight, no. I would say it feels safe. It feels like… If you trip, you know there’s a lot of hands that are ready to catch you. From day one it’s felt that way.

The jokes were funny. The systems behind them—and the reasons we keep passing around war memes as entertainment—are more serious.

Don't stop me if you've heard this one before: The New York Mets are a real disappointment. This was true last year, when they missed the playoffs, and this was true last week, when the team followed a sweep at the hands of the Athletics with one by the Dodgers. It's somehow...

Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai spoke with Terry Gross about bravery, marriage, and defying cultural norms. She was 15 when a Taliban gunman shot her, in response to her advocacy for girls’ education. “When I look back, I'm like, yes, that was a crazy thing that I did. I put my life at risk. But, at the time, what scared me more was a life without an education as a girl. It terrified me.”

YOLO-ing with Codex computer use. I shouldn’t trust these tools as much as I do, but it still feels like magic, and I want to see the show.

Forget what the scouting report said about Munetaka Murakami before he came over to MLB from the NPB. As we all know, foreign scouting is not real. Big bombs are real, and Murakami has, in his three most recent games games with the Chicago White Sox, delivered three big bombs. One of them even had the additional oomph of being his first career grand slam.

Last week, I wrote that Manchester City had to intervene and stop the Arsenal title march, mainly for my own personal enjoyment. While some of you rightfully didn't appreciate that, you can't argue with the results. Arsenal came out on Sunday at City's stadium ready to play and still lost, 2-1, ceding control of the title race with just five matches left in its season.

The stats won't back the argument that Arsenal did anything particularly exciting yesterday, at least at face value. City dominated possession, 59-41, and had 15 shots to Arsenal's nine (five to three on target differential). Arsenal's only goal came from a Gianluigi Donnarumma mistake:

Cracked a crown on my tooth last week. Replaced today. The numbing from the dentist usually takes all day to wear off for me. Currently sipping my coffee, pretending I can drink properly. 🦷

Monty McCutchen remembers the play unfolding in front of him.

With just under two minutes left in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, the game tied at 89, Golden State's Andre Iguodala grabbed a rebound and dribbled up the floor. He was coming right at McCutchen, who was backpedaling and would end up as the "lead" official positioned underneath the basket Iguodala was sprinting toward. Iguodala and teammate Steph Curry bore down on J.R. Smith, the only Cleveland Cavalier back on defense; Iguodala passed it off to Curry, who skipped it straight back. As the closest referee, McCutchen prepared for a contested attempt at the rim.

"I was refereeing J.R. Smith," says McCutchen, one of three officials on the game and now the NBA's senior VP of referee development and training. "I remember thinking, 'You got J.R. Get J.R. Get J.R.'"

Talk about regression candidates. Just over a month ago, football journalist Arif Hasan broke the news that analytics giant Pro Football Focus was purchased by Teamworks, an even larger analytics giant, for somewhere north of $130 million. According to Hasan, many employees ...

Maybe I’m special. Or unlucky. But things that supposedly work intuitively for most users tend to fail spectacularly for me.  After mastering academia and enjoying some early success in journalism, advertising, and music composition and production, I poured myself into web design in early 1995, understood it in a way most designers didn’t, and enjoyed […]
