It’s like that all the time. Everything you’ve heard about cycling and Offsides reviews are untrue

America's Richest People Are Not its Most Generous

Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.

At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:

Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600

Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW: “.. In our in-progress research, we discovered that AI tools didn’t reduce work, they consistently intensified it.”

Ok, you can stop texting me, I saw the Ring ad. Troubling things about it 🧵:

-The long awaited (much warned about) intro of “AI” recognition. It starts w/ searching for a “brown dog” but means the tech is there for lisence plate reading, face recognition, searching for suspects by description, etc

Freedom 250, the Trump-run group the NYT reports is offering big donors special access, has totally supplanted America250, the congressional org that had been organizing 250th events, as we reported last week .So Trump is turning 250th into a party for himself, with taxpayer $, but no oversight.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

3 of 4 points on Florida trip commendable. Win at home before Olympics

For those not familiar with "destructive scanning", this means Anthropic would buy up millions of physical books, use “hydraulic powered cutting machines” to chop them up, scan the pages on “high speed, high quality, production level scanners,” then send the pages to recycling companies!!!

Tesla bet big on Elon Musk. His politics continue to haunt it. Tesla struggles to regain its footing in the electric vehicle market, hindered by Elon Musk’s political activity, impacting its stock price and performance.

New: Tesla 4th quarter profit plunges 61% year-over-year; annual profit down 46%

the brand damage:
-1 million lost vehicle sales, per study
-Declining revenue, profits, deliveries in 1st half of '25
-Lower total production/deliveries than '24
-Lost crown as world's leading EV seller

Why doesn’t Terry address the media more?

<Terry addresses the media>

Oh. That’s why.

Eastside Beltline light rail work secretly halted last year A group made up of officials with the city of Atlanta, the Beltline and MARTA made the decision in a closed-door meeting without ever informing the public.

Unbeknownst to the public, a small group of officials from the city of Atlanta, the Atlanta Beltline and MARTA voted to stop all work on the Eastside Beltline light rail project more than six months ago: www.ajc.com/news/2026/01...

Good to volunteer in Atlanta today with WAWA

Is the new balance commercial actually shot in Buffalo?

A statement from New American Pathways on the treatment of refugees in Minnesota

“SMILE TAGE,” she yelled.

I have a tough time believing people can't get their sports fix on Bluesky. There are so many starter packs.

NBA: bsky.app/starter-pack...

WNBA: bsky.app/starter-pack...

NFL: bsky.app/starter-pack...

NHL: bsky.app/starter-pack...

MLB: bsky.app/starter-pack...

I need a nap.

But also heart racing.

Boy was I wrong about Lindy and Samuelsson. This team is fun.

Have you ever written about living in Belgium or spoke about on Double Pivot episode? Visited this Fall for the first time and loved our week around the country.

At the expense of offending 8 fans in New Jersey or Long Island, they really should be talking more about Rich Stadium and less about making the game “feel” exciting.

ATHENS, Ga. — Amanda Mull was livid. By day a columnist at Bloomberg Businessweek, living in New York City, at heart Mull is a Georgia football fan carrying the weight of tormented years and plays associated with a certain offensive coordinator. And so this past September, after watching another Bulldogs loss to Alabama seemingly defined by one bad call, she went to her Bluesky account and vented: "Free me from Mike Bobo."

They put in the newspaper that I got mad at Mike Bobo @sethemerson.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/692...
