I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The electric Skratch-aid long run test 15 miles along the California coast line

I wrote about my favourite long run of last year. I asked my wife about the title and she said sure if you want to make a reference 3 people will get, go ahead. So I did: runtangents.substack.com/p/the-electr...

The Flu Game Finding a way at the Valencia Marathon

In 1997, a food-poisoning-stricken Michael Jordan dropped 38 points, helping the Bulls beat Utah and rescuing their championship hopes. It became known as The Flu Game.

Last weekend, in Valencia, I had a Flu Game all my own, running an 18-minute PR:

Why I Run I took up the sport to be like my father. I kept going because he stopped.

“There are a lot of reasons I run,” @nxthompson.bsky.social writes. “I like to remember that I’m still alive, and that I survived my cancer. But really I run because of my father.” Running “reminds me of my father, and gives me a way to avoid becoming my father.”

Running to live, with Nicholas Thompson Thoughts on grief, determination, and "The Running Ground"

“The Running Ground” by @nxthompson.bsky.social is a remarkable achievement: a literary work about life, and death, through the lens of running. This is part review, part interview, part essay about my Dad, grief, and what we choose to live for runtangents.substack.com/p/the-runnin...

One of the fast lads Notes from the Cardiff Half

Wrote a little about Cardiff Half:

“Start time approaching, I made my way to the sub-1hr30m holding pen. Before I got there, a race marshal corralled me into a pen further back, because, he said, nodding towards the sub-1hr30m area, ‘that’s for the fast lads.’”

I think about this Onion article once a week:

"Who’s your favorite actor? Frank Langella? Malkovich? How about John-fucking-Malkovich?"

Loved Raw Dog by @jamieloftus.bsky.social – a road trip across America to sample the best and worst hot dogs the US has to offer. Part social history, part travelogue, it’s funny, disgusting, sad and surprisingly horny. I finished the book with a Five Guys bacon cheese dog (would also recommend)

How running slow helps you run fast, with James Copeland "It's the tortoise versus the hare, and we are very much the tortoise."

Sub-threshold training is the biggest leap in amateur running since carbon shoes. James Copeland’s contribution will go down in hobby jogger history. Read our interview: runtangents.substack.com/p/how-runnin...

I switched to Apple Music in Feb, ported all my playlists across with a third party app and have never looked back. Hi-def music with lossless streaming, everything sounds great

These days the blank cheque for directing a blockbuster is getting to direct a different blockbuster. Unless Bond is Villeneuve’s “one for me” which I wouldn’t put past him

Viral videos and podcasts did not help a socialist win over a third of Staten Island. Be fucking serious lmao. Thanks to Zohran Mamdani, establishment Dems woke up to a jarring new political reality this morning: If you care about things people will vote for you.
