Always fun to write for @gambitweekly.bsky.social. Especially as a Pelicans Grump. I’m particularly proud of the line, “If you’re looking for rings and a parade, try cleaning out the ones in your toilet with throws from Tucks.”

NEW: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.

Why didn’t anyone tell me that epoxying a 12’x35”x1.5” table with packing tape wasn’t going to be easy? (Note: I had more support underneath it than sawhorses initially—it just was leaking everywhere.)

Man, people need to understand this about Andor: it was not a moneymaker for Disney, but it helped them rope in an audience that would likely be lost at this point. Gotta have them loss leaders.

I know Gosling (maybe too young) either does comedy or drama, but Odysseus demands both at the same time. Nolan would never deliver a funny Odysseus, but chboi is straight charming and hilarious in the poem.

I loved The Odyssey. This is coming from someone (me) who took a whole class on the poem and its resonance in literature. But the one snag in Nolan's beautiful anti-war message was—after Odysseus realized the PTSD of war and violence—where Odysseus slaying the suitors was hella badass. Which: fun.

This World Cup final—and the feeling of everyone rallying around Spain—was so laden with fury at the Powers that Be. The game was anti-abuse/intimidation and an appreciation of sharing equally and favoring joy. Ferran Torres as an underdog to boot.
