I just watched the entire new season, and what a treat it was! (Mary Steenburgen is the best!) I also thoroughly enjoyed the Schur-niverse Easter eggs: the roster-building disaster that the Orioles have been and the post-Veronica Mars TV whereabouts of one Kristen Bell… Delightful, as always!

I’ll accept it.

With 54 assists, Hutson is tied for 8th in the NHL, ex aequo with Sidney Crosby, Martin Necas, Clayton Keller, and Quinn Hughes. Cale Makar is the only defenseman with more assists, with 57. Wow.

Et maintenant: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. Un peu plus LNH, je dirais.

Ezra Klein est un formidable intervieweur et un fameux essayiste. Je ne le rate jamais!

YouTube video by Ryan Marino, MD The Myth(s) of Fentanyl Exposure

I made this video about what is really going on with these “fentanyl exposure” stories because I got tired of explaining the same thing over and over: www.youtube.com/watch?v=215h...

A photo illustration shows Rupert Murdoch and three of his adult children. A headline reads: "‘You’ve Blown a Hole in the Family’: Inside the Murdochs’ Succession Drama."

The Murdochs’ courtroom battle for control of their media empire has unfolded almost entirely in secret. But 3,000 pages of the trial record obtained by The New York Times reveal bitterness and betrayal that not even writers of “Succession” could conjure. nyti.ms/41fN66Q

Really good piece, as always - and shoutout to @arponbasu.bsky.social for pointing it out to me when I asked him about Kirby Dach’s state of mind… I’m wishing all the best to Dach and I hope he gets to find joy and purpose in in his professional hockey career: he deserves it!

I am the media junkie in my own life and would love to have a personalized copy of your book!

Interactions with voters “are always a good reminder of how different it feels to talk politics with a person you’re genuinely trying to persuade.”

A Hospital Helped a Beloved Doctor’s Practice Flourish Even as It Suspected He Was Hurting Patients Hailed as a savior upon his arrival in Helena, Dr. Thomas C. Weiner became a favorite of patients and his hospital’s highest earner. As the myth surrounding the high-profile oncologist grew, so did th...

This story begins with a patient learning he'd endured a decade of dangerous treatments for stage 4 lung cancer that his oncologist never confirmed was actually present.

It only gets more outrageous (and enraging) from there.

Looking forward to making it my own birthday gift! Can’t wait to see if you’ll have the gall to pick it in this year’s Holiday Draft…😉 #PosCast

Also, any television show that has D’Arcy Carden in it - if only for one very, very short scene - instantly become 98.6% better. It’s just a fact. (Don’t look it up. But trust me.)

What? Joe has written a book?

Nice touch, right?

I’m really enjoying it! Also, I thought having Calbert read The Baseball 100 was a very nice touch…

Sarah is the best!

I agree, but 5 minutes is just too short!

Unless eating an infinite quantity of food makes your bowel explode, Mr Creosote-style, and *that’s* how you die. I’d avoid the after-dinner mint if I were you. Even if it’s wafer-thin.

The Orioles and the Blue Jays, mmmaybe? There are other good teams in the AL (I want to say… the Rays, the Mariners, and the Rangers?), but not that many fun, must-see teams I would actually pay or stay awake past my bedtime to watch
