The war on literacy culture continues (I'm not really joking)
The new thing at the bottom of Gmail cuts off some of the space where you used to be able to read your emails, but at least it also has a lot of completely blank white space
You know where I'd like to read several more articles about Sonny ... www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...
Sonny Jurgensen, one of Washington’s greatest football players, dies at 91
In a Hall of Fame career, the Redskins quarterback was known as one the NFL’s best pure passers. He later spent years as a broadcaster.

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."
Not to pull rank, but it's objectively the case -- it was statistically a fact -- that at least during my childhood no newspaper meant more to its city than The Post did to D.C. It is impossible to think there does not remain long-term value in covering non-national news of interest to its readers.
The snow in New York is just amazingly foul at this point. It works like those black lights that reveal that all your surfaces are actually covered in disgusting bodily fluids. Practicing the willful blindness necessary to living here is getting to be impossible...
Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.
Not on the beat anymore, but there's a real Burkean lament to be written about Notre Dame foregoing a bowl after missing the playoffs. "Notre Dame" is basically a creation of the Rose Bowl, as so much in the imagined community of college football is.

TRUMP: and this Daniel, he went into the den? MAMDANI: The lion's den, yes TRUMP: surely they ate him MAMDANI: Here's the part where it gets a little Broadway: they didn't TRUMP: Unbelievable
The future is not inevitable but it seems to me we're on a glide path toward right-wing institutions' winnowed down to rumps at least tolerant of antisemitism, which then capture the party, which in our 2-party presidential system could lead to a President from that cohort bsky.app/profile/jaco...

Nice to see the launch of "Replay Booth" a new sport history podcast by @joshuablevin.bsky.social (formerly of @slate.com ). There's space for the kind of thoughtful, engaging sport stories the old "Only a Game" on NPR used to run, and this could be it. www.replaybooth.show/p/replay-boo...

Two mysterious Mets-related buttons kick off a 60-year journey, with stops at the Republican Convention, a tiny town in rural Texas, and the courtroom where Donald Trump got fined $355 million.
