Sometimes sports journo, sometimes comms pro, always a maker. Love Chicago. Probably making a Taskmaster or Murder, She Wrote joke. I won't answer any questions you can Google. I'm here for conversation, not debate. I mute whining about officials.

Hey so I wrote a book! It's a middle-grade book on Angel Reese. It's a book specifically written for libraries and schools, so I will not be hurt if you don't buy it. But your kid may want to check it out at the library!

Regardless of their level of involvement, one thing that’s clear is there’s not one person named in the Epstein files who believed those girls were people.

Everybody brings some soup and/or bread, as well as some containers. Everyone gets to eat soup that night and also bring some home. My friend has been hosting it for years.
Hang on hang on… soup party? Is that exactly what it sounds like? It sounds heavenly

The onion soup of biscuits, with bits of cheese that trickle out and land in crispy frico puddles while baking.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”
This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

"Learning how to watch a thing for the job you want to do" is such a key part of learning that job. I know that sounds vague but learning how to watch basketball or football to write about it took me a lot of time and study, but it was worth it.
i went to usc film school and “how to watch a movie” didn’t actually click until i read peter woolen’s signs & meaning in the cinema during the summer between my freshman and sophomore years
If there’s a short answer, how do you teach someone how to watch a movie? It strikes me even with that sentence that our language is not up to the present task: “how to watch a film” has always meant interpretation, not “how to look in one consistent direction for about 100 minutes”

We are not letting teenaged motorcyclists out on our roads without oversight. So why is it different for electric bikes?

chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group
1) you are the audience, giving it prompts
2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt
3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And
4) it has the factual accuracy of improv
5) it does not understand comedy

it’s one thing to know “rich and influential men boost each other” + “and they type out the horrors they commit to one other” + “and they escape relatively unscathed, again and again” it’s another to have such banal details as “and m00t was there”

The announced attendance is 21,490 - the largest announced crowd in this building's history.
The prior record for basketball was 21,305 for 76ers-Bulls in 1998.
The prior record for any crowd was 21,424 for a Backstreet Boys concert in 1999.
The smaller court made room for more seats tonight.

This post is blowing up, so for all the big name journos sharing it, some context:
This was a rally in Chicago explicitly calling for ICE to be abolished, and for a mass general strike to counter the Trump admin's continous attacks on our communities and civil liberties.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Holy shit. Team Wass is incredibly powerful, and a whole lot of top women athletes are repped by Wasserman. These emails are super gross, too.
