Christie’s is previewing the SI Newhouse collection plus has an impressive array of impressionist and 20th century art. I roamed around the galleries yesterday and recommend it.

You were one of the first voices I sought here and I appreciate your posts. I read a lot of political content but somehow avoid or read past the worst of the scolds — so much that the complaints can baffle me. Remember: haters are going to hate! Don’t let them define your experience.

AI has been a huge unlock for pro se litigants. This could be viewed as gatekeeping by a profession that charges fees out of reach for many people.

First time I’ve seen this on a drop-down menu. Does the IRS penalize parents with kidnapped children from taking the full deduction?

Brought my husband to a Northwestern game. He took one look at Corey Wootton’s arms and said that guy is going to play in the NFL.

Depends on what you want to get from it. As a writer, posting your latest work is helpful. If you’re into though leadership, write an original post with your observations on a given topic. Make it useful for others. Also good: asking a question that elicits interesting replies.

I saw Suffs after the election and it evoked such different emotions than what I imagine it did before. I think about it a lot.

Similar to how @karaswisher.bsky.social (correctly) goes after Zuckerberg on and then segues into a Threads poll.

My favorite fact about the NYC subway is that there are way more daily riders (about 4 million) than the number of people who fly in the US out of all airports every day (~2.5 million). The scale is hard to get a grasp on.
