What you don’t like Gates BBQ? 😆

I love Ted Lasso. It's one of my favorite shows ever. First two seasons were brilliant. I'll definitely watch the new season but it sure has a whiff of money grab.

I've been building models using 30 years of play-by-play data going back to 1996 (had no idea until recently that was now available!). Now I'm starting to see why GS is so in love with Jimmy. evanz.github.io/nba-lineup-m...

You ever get into this annoying AI loop? Me: Ok, I approve. Model: Great, I will get started on that now. Me: It doesn't seem like you started. Model: You're right I haven't started. I just locked down the contract. Me: Ok, so now, please start. Model: Sure thing. Me: Umm did you start? Model: No.

Rick Beato is on a roll lately with some killer long form interviews. He had Billy Joel a few weeks ago and today he dropped one with Todd Rundgren.

"The AI agent tried to cheat a benchmark by stealing test solutions from Hugging Face's production systems." Hmm...so they are becoming more like us.

PG, Hugo and three picks for Wardell. Let’s go.

Democrats are going to have to come up with their own solution to the Iran war. You can't just say "we'll pull out" because if Trump can't do it, it's obviously not because he doesn't want to. It's because we're stuck. It's hard to see how Democrats are going to do any better at unsticking us.

I think my dog thinks I'm performing some kind of satanic ritual when I sweep up his hair.

Second best Indiana State forward ever.

Starting to build a stable of NBA lineup models. Prior-informed RAPM lets you look at which players "improved" or "regressed" the most each season. The model starts in 2019-20 by estimating single season RAPM and then marches forward in time regressing to prior. evanz.github.io/nba-lineup-m...

Samara Weaving as Emma Frost is 💯 casting.

The irony of the Warriors missing out on Jaylen Brown is how often over the last five years did we hear about how “Kuminga’s ceiling is Jaylen Brown” 🫠

He should be awarded the Medal of Freedom and be out in charge if the NSA for this clever hack. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/u...

A U.S. Citizen Deleted His Phone’s Data. Now He Faces a Felony Charge.

Federal prosecutors charged a man returning to the United States with obstruction because he gave them a passcode that erased his smartphone during a customs search.

This really is a bummer.

This is a huge bummer as Wonder Man S1 was terrific. Innovative, funny, smart, strange in the best way. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

And it would have made at least 1/10X that!

Netflix sued for $105m over stolen Nicolas Cage war thriller

I mean if you believe Kerr, then you have to believe the FO was actively gaslighting the fanbase this whole time and never planned any moves this off-season. Cool cool cool.

I was not a big Jalen Smith guy but damn. That's quite a chart.

Yeah that checks out.

When I first heard people talking about Lamine Yamal, I thought they were saying "La Minimal". As if it were his nickname. I was like, weird flex, but ok.

This is a neat RAPM diagnostic that one day I will certainly try to explain in a blog post somewhere. But the curious among you can try to infer what is going on by titles of the x- and y-axes. 🤫

Bay Area weather is absolute perfection today.

I just hope they read my old blog posts.

NEW: Hackers are currently exploiting two critical WordPress flaws, which were patched on Friday, to remotely hack and take over websites, according to several cybersecurity firms. Around 90 million websites could still be vulnerable, according to an estimate by a security researcher.

Stephen Curry joins Moses Moody in Arkansas for youth summit inspiring students

Donald Trump really said Canada should be a state because it would make America great "visually". On a map. That's how much brain rot this man has.

According to “analytics” Mitchell Robinson appears to be a huge swing piece in the East.

People debating the skin color of ancient Greeks because "The Odyssey" is just...not surprising given our "modern civilization". There couldn't possible be anything more important to discuss right?

I think we’re going to start seeing a push to move Steph. From both sides.

If Steph were traded to Charlotte that would be an epic return to his home…some might call it…

If you’re not gonna help Steph win here help him win somewhere else. Imagine the bidding war to get Steph. Charlotte is right there man. 🙏
