Professionally, I think a lot about how firms are formed, how they grow, and who are selected to lead.

Personally, I think a lot about #HipHop #Politics #PrestigeTV #Knicks #Giants #Yankees #Tarheels

Just read @Henry Abbott's article about Kahwi/Clippers scandal and it turns out it's a beautiful ode to good #journalism

this is actually a pretty big black mark on Hulu that they had the opportunity to chronicle an extremely newsworthy spectacle and are letting UNC back out of it because it makes them look bad

It's come to my attention that the original What's Alan Watching? site debuted 20 years ago today. Why not celebrate that anniversary by subscribing to its current iteration, aka the place where I'm writing all my reviews and recaps right now?

With 1:23 left in 4q my son just said to me, "it's only 4 touchdowns". I think that is genuine sadness.

Time to turn on the Longhorns.

When does Bill Belichick move from a haha to genuine sadness, if such a thing is possible?

Overall trust in #media continues to slide in US, dipping below 30% in recent poll. More telling is the ideological divide: 8% for Republicans and 51% for Democrats.

I grapple to contemplate what this looks like for the US in 10 years.

Americans’ trust in media hits new low, poll finds

Only 28% of US adults told Gallup they have a ‘great deal’ or ‘fair amount’ of trust that mass media will report the news fully, accurately, and fairly.

I had to laugh at WaPo embedding a solicitation for leaks in the middle of an article detailing how Hegseth is trying to stop leaks.

@joelanderson.bsky.social I went to a TCU alum event here in Chapel Hill before the game while wearing my Carolina Blue. Very hospitable. I think they knew that butt whipping was coming.
