Hoya, lawyer, entertainment and sports world voyeur. History nerd, trivia jedi, def a Stones over Beatles guy.

Blows my mind how @BradOnMessage can go on @CNNSOTU and compare @georgesoros to @elonmusk with a straight face. So Soros (a pauper compared to Musk) was also publicly granted the power to create his own federal agency with nearly unlimited to access government data? gmafb

Pretty happy for fans of the Knickerbockers, who have suffered long enough in the basketball capital of the world.

@ChrisMurphyCT He’s ready to move on to Cuba but he can’t start another war… yet. He tried so hard to declare it over but repetition and “wishing really hard” did not work this time. Next move… blame Pete and bounce.

The betting apps actively manipulate those with a dangerous gambling compulsion to maximize what they can squeeze them for. There's a budding generation of college bros who will have massive student debt AND massive gambling debt. Totally out of control.

I was admittedly firmly on board for the legalization of sports betting from smart phones, but given how it has now irreversibly infected all sports programming, commentary and advertising, it's clear I was horribly wrong. There are no rules.

The transition of sports fandom from loyalty and joy and community to monetization and commodification is a little heartbreaking to me. A signal of the broader commercialization of everything not nailed down in America.

@AdamKinzinger Noooo! Not you too Marvin Young!!! First cassette I ever owned was Stone Cold Rhymin'

NEWS: Oklahoma State transfer guard Vyctorius Miller has committed to Georgetown, he told @On3.

The 6-5 sophomore averaged 10.8 points per game this season while shooting 37.5% from three. He was the top remaining shooting guard in the transfer portal, per On3.

In Crisis of the Common Good, I lay out six cults that have infected our culture - the cults of profit, globalization, technology, consumerism, credentialism, and corruption. Sets of false beliefs that benefit a handful of elites.

[Danny V @DanVacek]

@ChrisMurphyCT Don't forget the cult of celebrity. I'm guessing this is addressed as an aspect/symptom of those cults that you identify above.

Remember when Obama wore a tan suit and people lost their minds?

@SkipSwen @BillSimmons 🤣🤣🤣

@BillSimmons Starts at the top w scarecrow. He’s just not interested anymore. We need an owner who has warm human blood in his veins and still enjoys fun.

I’d like to have a “Dandalorian” themed bday party, make my friends and family dress up but explicitly say “NO GROGUS” then rant like a crazy old man about Disney and Solo firing first. Then when everyone arrives…HAVE GROGUS F’N EVERYWHERE HIS LIL ARMOR IS SO CUTE!!!

Someone will release a free AI attorney that’s capable enough at general matters to devastate the traditional small-town generalist’s business overnight. Good for society long-term maybe, but it’s gonna sting and suck any remaining humanity out of the biz (like medicine).
