This is true, but Rogan is still very much a Trump guy. He spent 5-10 minutes on Iran in his last few pods, in which he also promoted the SAVE act, said Minneapolis ICE resisters are paid protesters, and suggested there’s no difference between a king and a president www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...
I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military
So proud to be a part of this project, and to have worked with so many excellent writers. I hope you love it. Thanks, @sandyernestallen.bsky.social for having me.
Iran being able to disrupt the world economy by closing a small channel feels like the Death Star having an exhaust port you can shoot that makes the whole thing explode

This morning I read that jazz pianist Bill Evans grew up in Plainfield, NJ and thought “That’s right next to where I grew up, what are the odds?” and tonight I read that nature writer and ecologist Douglas Tallamy grew up in……….Plainfield, NJ.
The good news is that the spring peepers are out tonight and the bad news is that so are the mosquitoes.
oh yeah we’re gonna need those reserves
The funniest thing about the Trump admin is how all of the "eff your feelings" and "cry harder lib" alpha males turn out to be the whiniest saddest snowflakes, unable to handle a negative picture and walking about in ill-fitting shoes to not upset Trump.

I can't believe there's an AI version of me in Grammarly as a writing coach and every time you ask it for help it just says "You don't have time to work on your own stuff, you have grading to do" and logs you out.

OK, so if Tom Waits can successfully sue Frito-Lay for using a voiceover artist who is basically a Tom Waits impersonator in a Cheetos ad, then I think a lot of people have the grounds for a very successful lawsuit here
Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegseth’s attempt to strangle journalism

"Provocateur" is French for "asshole."
We all take it for granted but it's crazy that there's no ads on this site (laudatory)
During a presentation about AI at my job, there was a poll that asked "how do you use AI in your daily life?" and the highest ranked answer was "I don't" at about 85%. They quickly moved to the next slide.

Emailing a student back and outlook autocorrected Professor Cronin to Professor Crying, and, you know what, fair enough
Good for the hed/dek writers at @nytimes.com just now:
Not "appears to contradict" or "is at odds with" or "may give rise to suspicions that."
Flat out: "Contradicts." "Video shows." About the US blowing up a school full of little girls.
And of course, terrible for the world.
