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."

Which was always so weird since Bush was openly and famously sober. So, he’s better company to share a malt with?

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.

As a short guy, I’ll just say I’ve bought shirts from Peter Manning and they definitely work as a proportionally short shirt. I’ve also bought the Fresh Clean Threads “short” options and they are perfect in length.

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. 🧵

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

Next week is going to be dark, hard, and for many of you, scary. It’s okay not to make your pages. It’s okay if you can’t write. The pages will wait until later. Take care of yourself. You are important, you matter, and you are worth taking care of.

President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic and is pardoning 39 Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes. It’s the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.

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.

After yesterday’s college football games, this statement couldn’t be truer. Matt Mitchell @ALostrich I've read all 225 pages of the tiebreaker rules and if my math is correct, the SEC Championship Game will likely be the Houston Oilers vs the Paraguay men's rowing team

That’s a pretty good prediction. Bummer that more of the BIG schools didn’t play each other. Or maybe just bummer that Michigan was terrible this year as that would be a common opponent for more schools.
