Spent some time with the photographer Peter Adams, who went to all the (existing) presidential libraries and found some really weird stuff, like Stalin's cigarettes, Hoover's telephone and Obama's old Blackberry.

Learning that some people have collected folders of screenshots of my basketball tweets, waiting to use them. That’s incredible.
There's a genuine media literacy issue among sports fans. There's an expectation - maybe created by some beat reporters themselves - that the reporters work for the team. They do not.
Bobby is a good reporter who got a newsy quote from Brown.
Nah how can a Cs reporter go to a bulls Sixers game purely on some gossip shit and then go the Cs game to try again? Are you that much of a hoe? @RealBobManning
100 percent. This is a case where a beat reporter went the extra mile and made a trip where he absolutely didn't have to. That speaks to his work ethic and results in him getting something none of his competitors did. Good lesson for young journos. teapawt.net/KevinOConnor/status/21…
The tribal response from Too-Online Celtics fans only shows that Bobby is doing a great job. He should be commended for his work ethic attending a second game on a trip that he didn't need to before heading to Milwaukee.

Well, I was laid off by SNY this morning along with my whole editorital team and many others. Despite it being in my nature to say exactly what I’m thinking, I wanted to take a beat to collect my thoughts.
I need to start by expressing my gratitude for the people who hired me, guided me, worked for me and worked alongside me. Brad Como took a chance on someone who had never been on television, and later when I was hired full-time to join the digital team, my new coworkers put up with my asking questions like, “Wait, what’s linear?” I got to work for a company that covers the Mets, the team my grandparents cheered for, and as a 1986 baby, it felt like fate.
Over my eight-plus years one thing remained true: the people made SNY special. The content teams were small, but cared deeply about showing up for NY sports fans and for each other. I will miss the inside jokes, the thrill of breaking news, the collaboration, and having to care about storylines like Dicky vs. Richard Lovelady.
Most of all, I’m urging you to please hire these amazingly talented people, while continuing to support those still at SNY who are doing their best. This industry is a heartbreaker, but thank you for reading, following along, and to everyone who has reached out on a very hard day.
Incredibly detailed piece about the housing crisis in DC, and the various factors that are leading to evictions being at a 12 year high:
51st.news/dc-record-eviction…
In some non-election news, @The51st and @streetsensedc published a story we’ve been working on for months about an issue in D.C. that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: evictions.
In 2025, 2,420 households were evicted — the highest number in more than a decade. (thread)

Don't trade Hugo and Baylor for Giannis because you know you can get him months later without having to give them up. I see your game, Brad Stevens.

I find this take a bit odd. How would shortening this season have prevented any of the injuries we’ve seen so far? We haven’t even reached 10 games.
Bill Simmons calls out Adam Silver over the NBA's 82-game schedule, claiming the league is prioritizing greed over player health
“You're ruining your players and you're making your sport worse, and you're hurting careers and you're shortening careers. And this should be a 70 game season. And if you talk to literally everybody who plays basketball, all of them would say the season needs to be shorter. And if you don't do it at this point, I just think it's negligent. I really do. I think it's like actual negligence and greed. And those are the two words.”

NEW: President Trump has suffered a stunning, thorough rebuke
He asked voters to put his name on the ballot - they listened, and rejected him
Trump is now officially a lame duck. He will not go quietly. But he now faces investigation and irrelevance theatlantic.com/politics/202…
