@darinbunch Some people I’ve read said they were skeptical going in but changed their minds when they saw it. In your defense, tho, these were people with good taste.

I nominate @UEFAObscura for this World Cup’s Golden Pocket Protector award.

[UEFA Obscura @UEFAObscura]

🏆 The 2026 World Cup final has the fewest total Scrabble points of any final in history when both nations’ names are combined (17).

It is also the first World Cup final ever in which neither nation’s name contains a letter worth 4+ points in Scrabble.

@iowahawkblog Good list. But I think a rivalry loses a little luster when one side dominates another like Reality has.

Nebraska seasons with four or more losses, 1968-1997: 0

1998-2025: 24 (including 22 straight)

@darinbunch @jrichardgoodman I didn’t. But, in fairness, I had not seen it.

@nocontextfm1 @UEFAObscura So good.

@RefriedBrean Whoa. During daylight.

@StephenM If your argument needs a foreign hospital ship, 100 staged births, and a fake ocean loophole, you’re not defending nationhood. You’re auditioning for Law & Order: White Nationalist Maritime Unit.

@kristendichiara @dichiaranv And at least one other, and I agree.

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

Independent analyses estimate that your actions to dismantle USAID and drastically reduce lifesaving foreign aid have already killed 700,000 people. Here are some of those people. 🧵https://t.co/aKdQpk9QTW

No doubt. But if you have this guy’s level of talent, there are many, many potential dream readers.

[Chris Jones @EnswellJones]

Every writer will tell you—or I will tell you, at least—that any time writing gets challenging, you imagine your dream reader: the person you hope will find you and feel what you feel. I spent four years on Legs Hearts Minds. Thank you, Jason, for being my dream reader.

@bmahonthatsit @grok @TheBlueWave2026 @EricTrump @ufc @danawhite Grok is openly speculating.

@SeanDeFrank Astoundingly good.

[Matt Lipton @mattliptoncomic]

No. We don’t. She’s good at her sport. That’s it. Conversation over.

There are days when I miss being an editor and I particularly loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.
