I’ve seen lots of “quick” takes on this that I think are incorrect. I think you’re exactly right, this is sports related.

So here's a quote from @pablo.show that applies to not only his Clippers investigation but the best of what journalism can be: www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...
"I think that we have the ability to do something that the rest of our culture is yearning for, which is make people who are too rich to care about anything resembling the public interest worry that maybe they need to tell us the truth."

What remains one of the best life hacks I’ve ever learned: at any chain that has a phone number-based rewards system needed for discounts (CVS, Duane Reade, etc.), simply put in the local area code followed by 867-5309. There is always already an account. You will always get the discount.

Fantasizing about Ben Stiller's THE LIFE OF WALTER MITTY this week on Unspooled and our Substack, it was so fun to go deep into this underappreciated classic.

Although it's rarely expressed in outright terms, people often use a very simple heuristic when solving fashion problems: they wish to look rich, which is often disguised as "respectable." I will show you why this rarely leads to good outfits. 🧵

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

The biggest threat AI poses to publishing is to unpublished writers. Easiest way to avoid AI generated slop is to read recognizable names - existing talent and widely read & praised books. You know, the already established. This “disruption” disproportionately impacts the underdog, not best sellers.

Feeling amazing because I sold my screenplay about the origin story/young life of the guy that founded Untuck It. This is the story of how he became such a fearless advocate for shirts that aren't too long—the trauma that molded him, the passion that defined him, the mission that continues today.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry
A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: 

"I am so tired of waiting, 
Aren't you, 
For the world to become good 
And beautiful and kind? 
Let us take a knife 
And cut the world in two -- 
And see what worms are eating 
At the rind."

A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people. It's really surprising how little media coverage this has received. Trump faced no real questions about this issue during the campaign. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1886...

A Trump Judge Just Nixed Overtime Pay for Millions—and Media Yawned
Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”? Well, this ruling exposes Trump-MAGA hypocrisy on the working class—and reveals a big media failure.

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.

When my Mike Nichols biography came out in 2021, one of the questions I was asked most often was "Why can't I stream Silkwood?" Due to absurd rights issues, it's been devilishly hard to find. I'm happy to say it's now on Hulu. And it's essential. One of his best, and unlike anything else he made.
