A thousand times this!
When I was young I did so much performative reading of books other people told me I should be reading.
I've rediscovered reading for fun and now I'm obsessed with a series about a guy and his ex-girlfriend's talking cat fighting monsters in a dungeon. This is the way.

I've just realised that reading more fiction books for fun has really helped with me being able to focus properly on reading other stuff.
I was just reading something that usually I would skim.
Instead I noticed I was taking time to understand it, sometimes, re-reading sentences.

44 points and 16 steals in 28 minutes?! I've never seen a stat line like that. Going to need to watch a replay of these Hidalgo minutes.
Sixteen steals in 28 minutes 🤯
Notre Dame's Hannah Hidalgo set the Division 1 record for steals in a game in a 44-point night against Akron.

Ace Bailey is having himself a night and looks like he's having a lot of fun in the court tonight. Makes the draft drama look even sillier.

It continues to be refreshing how NBC takes time to make these regular season games feel like an event.

Once again Kansas football collapses in the 4th quarter and gives away another W. KU lost the lead by giving up 75+ yard drives late in the 4th. Just atrocious end of game mangement from the coaching staff. #kufball

Lots of great storylines to watch this college basketball season!
with college basketball back, I dedicated this week's newsletter to the 12 things I'm most excited about for the 2025-26 season
among them:
is the Big Ten's title drought about to end?
is the ACC on its way back?
the last ride for Cream Abdul-Jabbar
how badly will Doug Gottlieb suck?

Kansas did what they needed to do and won impressively tonight... but the 3 point shooting looks like it's still going to be a problem for the 3rd season in a row. #kubball
