Only the monstrous try to turn the screws on their friends and allies, try to make a profit from a humanitarian crisis. The unjust invasion of Ukraine was more than three years ago. Though the arc of time is long, people reap what they sow.

Rising tennis stars João Fonseca (Brazilian, 18), Learner Tien (American, 19) and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (French, 21) are currently three of my favorite players to follow. Mpetshi Perricard is 6-foot-8 and his serves are ridiculous. Fonseca just won his first tour-level title today.

My mind is blown that Ugandan long-distance runner Jacob Kiplimo just obliterated the half marathon world record with a time of 56:42. At only 24 years old, he's set to make his marathon debut on April 27, 2025 in London. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8jJ...

My wife found this bizarre, deeply stupid video. I laughed out loud by the 1:40 mark. So, like, what if the dissociative fugue from David Lynch's "Lost Highway" was sparked by trauma from relentless Mario sneak attacks on a man's truck? www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd1T...

Kelvin Kiptum died on this day in 2024. I'll always wonder what could have been. Set the marathon world record, seemed on track to be the greatest. Gone four months later. At age 24, just like Oregon's Steve Prefontaine.

When I heard about David Lynch's passing today, all I wanted was to watch him cook quinoa and talk about the violet drinks and "frog-moths" outside his train through Yugoslavia in 1965. (The video is an extra on the "Inland Empire" DVD.) Rest in peace. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSP-...
