Good morning.
Officially, nothing happened here.
No foul. No technical. No flagrant.
Nothing.
It’s a clear example of the NBA protecting its money-maker.
Rubio's "shape-shifting is not a new phenomenon; it is a defining characteristic. A close look at Mr. Rubio reveals one consistent truth about him: Marco Rubio has always found a way to belong." Excellent column from the guy who wrote the book on Rubio
Mr. Buria told Mr. Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events, the officials said. https://t.co/gt6wdPh5IP
spot-on, from @anneapplebaum
Money quote:
"Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places."
"He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before."

50% of all relationship advice on Reddit is “leave.” 15 years of data, 52 million comments, and the trend line only goes one direction.
A researcher filtered r/relationship_advice down to 1,166,592 quality comments and tracked what people actually recommend. In 2010, “End Relationship” sat around 30%. By 2025, it’s approaching 50%.
“Communicate” dropped from 22% to 14%. “Compromise” collapsed from 7% to 3%. “Give Space” fell from 25% to 13%. Every category that requires patience lost ground every single year.
The one category growing faster than “leave” is “Seek Therapy,” which went from 1% to 6%. The subreddit is slowly learning to say “this is above my pay grade.”
Train a model on this dataset and it would absolutely tell people to break up. The training data is 50% “leave” and climbing. The model wouldn’t be broken. It would be accurately reflecting what 52 million commenters actually believe about your relationship.
A 50% prior that you should leave, a 14% prior that you should talk about it, and a 6% prior that you need a professional. That’s not LLM psychosis. That’s the median human opinion on your relationship, backed by the largest advice dataset ever assembled.
Dot-com companies bought 14 Super Bowl ads in 2000. Most were dead within a year.
Crypto companies spent $54M on Super Bowl ads in 2022. FTX was bankrupt by November.
AI companies just spent $250M on Super Bowl ads in 2026. 23% of all ad slots.
The Super Bowl doesn't pick winners.
It marks tops.
A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."
Tomorrow (Wed) at 12:35pm ET, I'm joining @RandiZuckerberg on @SiriusXM Business Radio (Ch. 132) to talk AI generally and the Future of Work. It’s a call-in show so phone w/any of your questions/thoughts: 844-942-7866. Would love to hear from you.
A great pleasure to talk AI at the Miami Book Fair this past weekend and agree our discussion spurred wonderful conversations. A terrific book festival; an honor to have been invited
It was an honor to host AI Valley author Gary Rivlin and The Thinking Machine author Stephen Witt at this year’s Miami Book Fair. Their insights on innovation, technology, and the future of human potential sparked powerful conversations. Grateful to showcase their work at the Miami Dade College AI Center, where we are leading the way in AI education, workforce transformation, and opportunity for our community.
For those keeping track, Donald Trump has now ordered federal investigations into two of the Democratic Party's biggest donors.
George Soros.
And Reid Hoffman.
NEW: More than 100 federal judges have now rejected the Trump administration’s new policy to lock up nearly everyone facing deportation — including 12 judges appointed by Trump, according to a POLITICO analysis.
Only 2 judges have sided with ICE.

Loved this excerpt from @nxthompson's upcoming book, THE RUNNING GROUND. Terrific, evocative, writing with intimate glimpses into his relationship with his very complicated dad. Mission accomplished: I just pre-ordered. Happy pub date tomorrow, Mr. @nxthompson!
I've just written about my very intense relationship with my father and how running helped me both connect with him and avoid becoming him.
It's also my first article ever for @TheAtlantic . My dad wrote for the magazine in 1967, and i t seems fitting that the first piece published here from my family in 58 years is about him.
