10 years ago, Iowa also beat Michigan on the final play of the game. I also happened to accidentally capture Sad Michigan Fan that day. Hey that was fun @josephwagner.bsky.social!!

Three weeks ago, we were catching lakers and smallies up in the BWCA. Turns out we were miles north of where the wildfires started. A harrowing reminder of how unpredictable the wilderness is and how things can change in an instant. Continued thoughts go out to everyone affected by the fires.

Gotta say, I've never seen this word with an umlaut before, but the @newyorker.com pulled it off.
Within hours of the firing, Thrive had put its planned investment on hold and suggested that the deal would be consummated-and employees would thus receive payouts-only if Altman returned. Texts from this period show Altman coördinating closely with Nadella. ("how about: satya and my top priority remains to save openai," Altman suggested, as the two worked on a statement. Nadella proposed an alternative: "to ensure OpenAI continues to thrive.") Microsoft soon announced that it would create a competing initiative for Altman and any employees who left

The local No Kings organizers estimated between 4,000-5,000 of us showed up in Rochester to protest, a significant uptick from the last one. All types of faces out there on a cold, windy March afternoon speaking out against fascism. Uplifting in a period of time that favors the opposite.

Ok, we've reached next level hype with Ben McCollum. If you ranked these coaches two weeks ago, it's a completely different list. Hey, I'm happy about the attention the program is getting, but c'mon now. Better than Painter? Better than Izzo? Better than Calipari?

I have receipts from Monday. Now, full disclosure, I wasn't expecting this.
I would rather lowa play Florida than Houston or any other 1 seed (barring maybe UM). It's also notable that the gap between the top seeds is much smaller this year than in years past. 

Gap meaning from the pack
