Hey @thepressbox.bsky.social! Sometimes great long-form writing about football comes from unlikely places. The Rise and Fall of American Football by Nico Walker in the latest issue of Granta @grantamag.bsky.social is excellent. Can Bryan and Joel spend some time on the article during J-school?

Just some causal Sunday reading apropos of nothing and unrelated to any upcoming events.

I donate to #Wikipedia most years because sharing knowledge without cost is a wonderful and beautiful idea - a true public good and global common. But this year it is even more meaningful. Thanks @wikipedia.bsky.social!

Oh hey. Earlier this year I published a chapter on human rights from Dr. Seuss’ classic Horton Hears a Who in this collection. Check it out!

This latest piece from Alex de Waal is the most informative analysis I've seen on how to assess starvation and death in Gaza:

How Many People Have Died of Starvation in Gaza? - World Peace Foundation
We don’t know how many people in Gaza have perished from starvation and related health crisis. But we have good reason to fear that the toll will be high.

Other than YOLO, what is the Israeli legal argument for its military operations in Syria?

Brooklyn weekend and first @bsky.app post. Independent bookstores remain undefeated once I cross the store threshold.
