Glad they went through the whole team and gave them something honorable to take with them.

My moment of clarity on what this meant came when Mitchell Robinson got his award as a champion.

I also liked that the Mayor listed all the recent past Knicks players who could've been on this team but were traded to make it what it is. He named the right ones.

The whole thing was inclusive, generous and working together. Cried all the way through it, nice release still don't have any idea which way is up. In my heart this was never supposed to happen but there it is.

Why wasn't Clyde on the stage?

A subscriber urges us to take the fight to the right.

Today I did a change that was across two apps, different projects, client and server. I tested it as best I could for now, and it appears to work in both apps. But now I have an extra level of confidence because I asked Claude to do a code review, checking all my assumptions and it does find egregious mistakes, that in the past might have taken a day in a debugger to track down. Now it can happen in less than the time that it took for me to write this post. Now I'm going to check to see how it did.

Day 1 Pestilence has struck. The very week Endurance was to sail, Young Cecily awoke hot as a kettle. I, her loving father, could not depart frail Cecily in such a state. And Mrs. Shackleton is away at the suffragettes conference for the week, so old Shacky’s flying solo on...

The concept of "1966" is purely theoretical for almost anyone who wasn't alive then, 60 years of human history separating us from that singular point in time. Sure, the point of history as a field is to educate us about what was happening in, say, 1966, but I barely remember what it felt like to live through most of the years I've been around for, let alone those that came so long before. However, there is one subset of people who might soon get a taste of what 1966 was like, and that is fans of England, who have been waiting since then to lift the World Cup trophy a second time.

Folks, it might be coming home.

Welcome to Listening Habits, a column where I share the music and musical topics I’ve been fixated on recently.

In between spending the last month listening to every single song with "New York" in its title or chorus, I found time to keep up with the latest big album releases. We're only about halfway through but already this has been a damn good year for music: a good mix of quality releases from stars, stalwarts, and new names entering the ring. The new Olivia Rodrigo might be the best thing to come out recently, but this week I'm more moved to consider Cry Baby, the first independent release from rapper Vince Staples.
