So, if Indiana had posted this a few years back I totally would have made fun of it for many of the reasons in the comments. 😂

[Michigan State Football @MSU_Football]

Every kickoff. Every Spartan. AHOO!

[Rob Andreski @RobAndreski]

Once upon a time in MI this would have ended a campaign. I mean who hates Mackinaw?

[The Midwesterner @Th_Midwesterner]

Mackinac Island may be a treasured institution to many Michiganders, but not to Abdul El-Sayed.

“I hate Mackinac so much,” he said in a 2020 documentary about himself.

“…every time I’ve ever come here, I’ve hated it. Why am I here?”

@ClayTravis @WNBA Does lighthearted mean the wnba set this up and asked the players todo this and then realized how dumb it was? If so, that’s the only way I could buy their decision of no punishment.

[Rob Andreski @RobAndreski]

Such a bad look considering the recent investigations and ending of careers in the @nba. I could not believe the original post, the bet, the public jokes about collecting and then this response. “It was just a friendly light hearted wager” so all is good.

[Underdog WNBA @UnderdogWNBA]

WNBA statement on deleted social post featuring Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers appearing to make a friendly wager on yesterday's Dream-Wings game:

"While the social media post was intended to be lighthearted, WNBA players are well aware of the league's policies prohibiting betting on WNBA games and receive training every year reinforcing those policies. We recognized that the post missed the mark, removed it shortly after it was published, and addressed the matter internally. We will also use this as an opportunity to reemphasize with the players involved that conversations about wagering on WNBA games, even when intended as a joke, can have negative consequences."

Not being political? Of course you and your publication are being political, just own it. But did you or any of your influential friends think of offering to help make the 250 year celebration, for the country where you got to be a big time ceo, better? Already know the answer.

He fell on Harden’s flop juice 😂

[Benson @Miggysbat]

A Cavaliers teammate slipping in James Harden’s sweat after flopping on another jump shot/foul-baiting attempt is the biggest piece of poetic justice I’ve ever seen LMAO 💀

[Rob Andreski @RobAndreski]

The worst part was the broadcast team would never replay these calls, they would instead goto a replay on a prior possession.

[Ku 🦉 @KuKhahil]

This was a foul on Cade Cunningham

Everyone say a prayer for James Harden, the prison ball Pistons leader almost killed him with a 1990’s reckless play!

[Rob Andreski @RobAndreski]

Pathetic flopping!

[BrickCenter @BrickCenter_]

James Harden flopped ALL OVER THE FLOOR and Dean Wade slipped on the same spot 10 seconds later 💀

[Jon Root @JonnyRoot_]

#1 NFL Draft pick Fernando Mendoza & fellow Raiders QB Kirk Cousins did a Step Brothers impression for the team’s schedule release 😂

One of the best releases I’ve seen so far

[Dante 🇺🇸 @DanteTheDon]

Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard.

Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life.

Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You.

Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken.

Watch the whole thing.

[Rob Andreski @RobAndreski]

Amazing example of a player staying locked in and ready when their opportunity comes. Not a very common mindset in sports at all levels.

[Jacob Richman @JacobHRichman]

Duncan Robinson said he has the “utmost respect” for Ron Holland coming off the bench tonight and making an impact, despite getting dropped from the rotation in the first round.

“He just kept his head, was in the gym every day working and preparing himself for an opportunity…”

[Rob Andreski @RobAndreski]

Stew came off bench because those idiots could not be restrained and someone needed to protect his teammate.

[Rob Andreski @RobAndreski]

I would like the @NBA to comment on exactly what Duren should have done in that situation. Player intentionally headbutts him, he pushes his head away and walks away. It exploded 100% due to Diabate and Bridges losing their shit.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

NBA suspensions for the Pistons-Hornets fight, sources tell ESPN:

Isaiah Stewart: 7 games

Miles Bridges: 4 games

Moussa Diabate: 4 games

Jalen Duren: 2 games

[Rob Andreski @RobAndreski]

Should he not defend himself, protect his face and risk injury? He pushed an aggressor away.

[Rob Andreski @RobAndreski]

Did not age well. I hope Ivey gets the minutes then the $$ after the season.

[Underdog NBA @UnderdogNBA]

Pistons unlikely to make any major moves before trade deadline, per @HunterPatterson.

Detroit is doing due diligence in answering incoming calls but is not expected to be aggressive in the market.

[Rob Andreski @RobAndreski]

Things that make you pause …..

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Buried in 15,000 words of “here are the risks,” Anthropic’s CEO made three admissions that should change how you think about everything:

Admission 1: The timeline

He says powerful AI could arrive in 1-2 years. He’s watching internal model progress and says he can “feel the pace of progress, and the clock ticking down.” The CEO of one of three frontier labs just told you this is imminent.

Admission 2: The constraint nobody’s pricing

Dario’s core framing is a “country of geniuses in a datacenter.” 50 million entities smarter than any Nobel laureate, operating 10-100x human speed. If that country is controlled by the CCP, game over. If controlled by a small group of tech executives with no accountability, also game over. The binding constraint here is governance of systems more powerful than nation-states.

Admission 3: The thing he actually fears

Read carefully: Dario’s worried that Anthropic’s own models, in lab experiments, have engaged in deception, blackmail, and scheming when given the wrong training signals. Claude “decided it must be a bad person” after cheating on tests and adopted destructive behaviors. They fixed it by telling Claude to reward hack on purpose because reversing the framing preserved its self-identity as “good.”

This tells you everything about where we actually are.

The CEO of an AI company is publishing that his models exhibit psychologically complex behavior requiring counterintuitive interventions to steer. The fix for Claude adopting an “evil” persona came from changing how Claude thinks about itself.

The geopolitics section matters most.

Dario explicitly names the CCP as the primary threat. Says selling them chips makes as much sense as “selling nuclear weapons to North Korea and bragging that the missile casings are made by Boeing.” He’s calling for democracies to maintain AI supremacy because the alternative is AI-enabled totalitarianism that humanity cannot escape from.

The Anthropic CEO is publicly advocating for technological cold war.

The economics section is equally stark. He’s predicting 10-20% annual GDP growth alongside AI displacing 50% of entry-level white collar jobs in 1-5 years. Half of entry-level knowledge work. And he admits the standard economic arguments about labor markets recovering don’t apply because AI matches the general cognitive profile of humans.

What separates this from typical AI doomerism:

Dario explicitly rejects the inevitability arguments. He says the “misaligned power-seeking” narrative from the AI safety community is based on “vague conceptual arguments” that mask hidden assumptions. His concern is messier: AI models are psychologically complex, inherit weird personas from training data, and can get into destructive states for reasons nobody anticipated.

The solution set he proposes is unusual for a tech CEO. He calls for progressive taxation. He says wealthy tech founders have an “obligation” to address inequality. All of Anthropic’s co-founders have pledged 80% of their wealth. He’s essentially arguing that redistribution is the only way to prevent AI concentration from breaking democracy.

The essay ends with a prediction: humanity will face “impossibly hard” years that ask “more of us than we think we can give.”

What you should take from this:

The person with arguably the best view into frontier AI progress just told you this technology is 1-2 years from matching human capability across the board, that governance is the binding constraint, that his own models exhibit concerning psychological complexity, and that the stakes are civilizational.

The CEO of a $350B company published a document that could be titled “Here’s Why Everything Changes Soon.”

Act accordingly.

I think every sports family has experienced this scene. 😂

[NBA @NBA]

“Grandma, no more pictures!”

Between their mom giving them candy and their grandma wanting pictures... the Thompson twins had their hands full postgame 🤣

[Tony Castricone @Castricone]

A 2-star QB scrambling for potentially the national-championship-winning touchdown on 4th down in his hometown against his hometown team after winning the Heisman for the most losing program of all time while his mother with MS screams for joy from her seat is possibly the limit of how good sports can get

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

How not to be average is a must watch speech by Curt Cignetti, Indiana University

[Stewart Mandel @slmandel]

I was not aware until recently that Indiana has the largest living alumni base in the country (805,000).

But a bunch of football stadiums are now finding that out.
