Edward Norton: “Trump is worse than Nixon and McNamara by far, Trump and Hegseth. We’re in a level of incompetency and grift and corruption that is unprecedented in the history of this country”

[Kyle @Hunsy23]

@jaketheyoshifan Where would ever play? Swanson, Nico, and Breg are all locked up for the next 3+ years. Shaw and Pedro Ramirez are your next two infielders and then Jefferson Rojas is after that. This is a win now year for the cubs, and those window are few and far between. This was a good move

🔥🚨LATEST: Former President Obama who stands at 6 ft 1 alluded to President Trump who stands at 6 ft 3 of being afraid of him and avoids talking to him in person the way he does online because ‘he knows better.’

Pete Crow-Armstrong during his career-best 24-game on-base streak:

.414 AVG (41-for-99)
1.327 OPS
11 HR
20 RBI

[Carson Wolf @TheWrigleyWire]

@SamOlbur June Sosa had a 198 wRC+ and 1.173 OPS
June PCA had a 282 wRC+ and 1.411 OPS entering today

Obviously Sosa had more HR but insane context as to the month Pete is having

[Brett Taylor @Brett_A_Taylor]

This is among the best - and most insane - context for what PCA is doing this year.

I know this for a fact. I will never enjoy watching one single sports star more than I loved watching Aaron Rodgers. Just watching him coming out of the tunnel each week was special. Don’t know how I’ll explain to my kids how he made me and the rest of Packer nation feel.

This is the truest tweet you’ve ever put out. I love your stuff don’t get me wrong, but there is literally Wrigley and then there is everywhere else. The boys are rolling!

When the broadcast goes silent and GO, CUBS, GO blares at Wrigley, that’s pure, uncut baseball beauty.

All I want to do is watch the 2026 Chicago Cubs play baseball

Jason Sudeikis made around $300,000 per episode in season 1 of Ted Lasso. By season 3, Apple had bumped him to about $1 million per episode. Tim Cook just announced season 4 lands August 5, after a three-year break that looked like the end.

The rest of the cast got similar raises. Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple, and Brendan Hunt all moved from the $50,000 to $75,000 per episode range to the $125,000 to $150,000 range. When production costs kept rising, Apple agreed to absorb them so Warner Bros. would keep producing the show. Most streaming companies wouldn't have signed that deal. Apple did. The reason has very little to do with making good TV.

Apple TV+ has roughly 45 million paying subscribers. Netflix has 325 million, more than seven times as many. Apple captures less than 1% of all US streaming time, while Netflix takes 8.2%. Apple TV+ has been losing over a billion dollars a year, according to a March 2025 report from The Information. None of that is going to change Apple's plans.

In the three months ending December 2025, Apple made $143.8 billion in revenue and $42 billion in profit. That works out to more than $400 million in profit every single day. The whole annual Apple TV+ loss is less than three days of Apple's profit. To Apple, the streaming service barely registers.

Ted Lasso is the show that made people sign up for Apple TV+ in the first place. When it launched in August 2020, Apple TV+ was less than a year old and barely on the cultural radar. Ted Lasso won 13 Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy in its first two seasons. Suddenly Apple TV+ was the home of a show people couldn't stop talking about.

That kind of cultural moment is worth more to Apple than any money the streaming service loses. Ted Lasso fans buy more Apple products. They stay subscribed longer. They tell their friends, who sign up too. Each new fan becomes another monthly check to Apple, and another reason to keep their iPhone instead of switching. The character started as a 5-minute NBC Sports commercial in 2013, where Sudeikis played a clueless American football coach trying to manage a Premier League team. Thirteen years later, that same character has become one of the most expensive ways Apple has ever found to sell iPhones. On August 5, the most expensive iPhone ad ever made premieres as a TV show.
