I barely know what Jay from @DownToDunk looks like, but everytime I watch Vasilije Micic play I think it has to be him.
Fun fact - 34 years ago tomorrow - @BarrySanders rushed for 320 yards (!) on 37 carries (!) and 3 TDs in a 45-27 @CowboyFB win in Manhattan, Kansas.

Highly recommend @EconTalker's interview of Amor Towles. Scintillating discussion of the creative process, perseverance, and so much more.
Robert's is at his best combining masterful interviewing skills with a passion for the subject matter!

Thanks, @JoeBiden.

This graph is highly misleading, only showing data from the last week or so. Data from such a small sample size is not useful in the context of the larger trend of higher gas prices (data can be found here: eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_p…)
“They [the NCAA] aren’t answering any questions today. That’s all you need to know about them.”

"Delta is the fourth wave of covid, and amazingly the US policy response is even more irresolute than the first time around. Our government is like a child, sent next door to get a cup of sugar, who gets as far as the front stoop and then wanders off following a puppy."

Thank you @MightyHeaton for clearly articulating my POV on the Jones Act. Utterly amazing this is actually true.

Set sail with Captain @MightyHeaton to tour the economic wreckage of one of America's dumbest policies.
"If only Americans could begin believing in politics less fervently, realizing instead that life is elsewhere."
"American faith, it turns out, is as fervent as ever; it’s just that what was once religious belief has now been channeled into political belief."
