Not to mention the human contact. My kids were often sitting on my lap when I read to them, turning the pages while I held the book. One reason reading to kids imparts a love of reading to them is because they pick up that you're doing it because you love *them*

The NFL has been trying to attract female fans. Shouldn't NFL marketing have reached out to broadcasters to discuss how to address players involved in sexual assaults? Also, you'd think networks would be aware of the big audience they are alienating. Michaels and Herbstreit did an abysmal job.

You'd think the NFL, as part of its campaign to broaden its female audience, might have done some work and workshopped some better, more honest ways to discuss a prominent player with a history of sexually assaulting dozens of women that acknowledge the women's ordeal.

Hans Nichols, then at Bloomberg, I think, did that with the president of china once but I don’t think that has ever happened with a U.S. president because they have tended to answer questions, even if they chose to lie.

I’m a former in-house lawyer for Harvard. During my recent role as DEI Director at UCLA, I fixated my AuDHD brain on digesting, analyzing and memorizing Project 2025. Since then, unfortunately every one of my political predictions has come to pass. P2025 is 55% complete. The last 1/2 is terrifying.

Just thinking back now. I hadn’t thought of this since that day, but when I got off the F at the 8th end of the West 4th St station, I looked up and saw all the smoke and someone telling me about the second plane and how incredulous I was. Like, that can’t be, can it?

Dan Kruger @therealdfk.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

After the first plane hit and before the second hit, I was on the F train from 4th Ave to Carroll St., a short elevated section in Brooklyn. The conductor made an announcement about it. On the train we all thought it was a small private plane that had gone off course or something like that.

It also reminds me of the money Trump raised in Iowa during the 2016 primaries that he said he was giving to veterans but which David Fahrenholt then at the Washington Post showed had not been given to veterans and that Trump probably kept. That was 17 lifetimes ago…

I don’t know what it’s like but on the other side you have Elon Musk amplifying racists and their calls for various flavors of purges and no one ever asks Republicans about what Musk says/does, nor is it ever scrutinized in the news holes of the organizations that are so interested in Hasan Piker.

Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away. This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will. In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one week period beginning tonight at 6:00PM. Rest in Peace, Dolly! The World loves you. President DONALD J. TRUMP

I remember liking them as a kid but they kind of fell off the memory map. I think Kurt Cobain half ironically cited them as an influence (you couldn’t do anything that wasn’t at least half ironic back then). Carlos looks like he’s playing Dan Ackroyd playing a drummer.

True, they made that argument. That said, if you assert something about someone or some organization as fact, don’t seek comment, and you are wrong, you can be in a lot of trouble. Fox News, which made the above argument, also paid $887 million to settle libel claims in the Dominion Voting Systems
