Mike Selinker @mikeselinker.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Here is an excellent piece on my frequent collaborator Eric Harshbarger's quest to solve the dilemma of "who goes first?" in board games.

Mike Selinker @mikeselinker.bsky.social · 11/08/2026The reason the Democrats will win the two most watched Senate races — Michigan and Texas — is RFK Jr. Michigan leads the country in cyclospora cases and Texas in screwworm, meaning we can't trust lettuce or beef.

Mike Selinker @mikeselinker.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Folks need to grasp how much the WNBA has changed in 25 years. There've been two 4-overtime games in league history. I was at the last one, between the Washington Mystics and the Storm in 2001. They beat us 72-69. Tonight, the Mystics beat the Fire in 4 OTs *124-123*. www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...espn.comMystics win marathon matchup, beat Fire in record-tying 4 OTsSonia Citron scored a career-high 32 points, including the basket that put her team ahead to stay with 21.4 seconds left, and the Washington Mystics held off the Portland Fire 124-123 on Sunday in four overtimes -- tying the longest game in WNBA history. 040
