Today, I had article number 1,000 published for @HipHopDX. A huge S/O to @TheCompanyMan, @SorenBaker, @ItsMeTC15, @BattleRapChris and all @HipHopDX for four years of mentorship and guidance. Here’s to the next 1,000! 💪

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @JeffreyGoldberg. https://t.co/jvBzeJwEuy

1. PERSONAL NEWS:
Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵

@JoshAntmann @SophWalks @ZaneScotland 2 things if poss. 1) What is up with Dunlap’s winnings? 2) Any thoughts on DPWT stalwarts (Lowry, Bob Mac, Justin Rose) missing a Rolex event to play a non-elevated PGA Tour event? Seems a shame?

Burt Young, who earned an Oscar nomination for his performance as Sylvester Stallone’s sidekick in “Rocky” and logged more than 160 film and television credits as a tough guy with a vulnerable streak, has died at 83. https://t.co/9iuRit2Myr

Souls of Mischief. 93 ‘Til Infinity.

Timeless. Classic. One of the best songs ever created.

Brady Watt’s Bass & Bars Episode 53 ft. @Phillyfreezer “What We Do”

Right before tour I drove to Philly and back to rock one of my favorite songs ever with the Legend Freeway. Since we were shooting at the stairs Rocky ran I found it necessary to break into that “Eye of the Tiger” in verse 2.

I’m coming back to Philly for my first headlining show at the World Cafe September 29. I need the whole town to come out!!!

Now that we’re all friends, is it too late for us to workshop some of these team names?

The world that digital marketers have known for 20 years is rapidly disappearing with the death of digital attribution. Is econometrics a good replacement?

In my new @TheDrum column today, Les Binet tells me "yes" and Byron Sharp says "no." What say you? https://t.co/vKCWIyEEY5

[The New York Times @nytimes]

John Motson, the soccer commentator whose animated voice was inseparable from many of the sport’s biggest moments over his 50 years at the BBC, has died at 77.

He covered 10 World Cups, 10 European Championships and 29 FA Cup finals.

@JoshAntmann @HenniKoyack @AlexPerryNCG What’s is everyone’s thoughts on Langer’s putting?

@JoshAntmann @davidhowell530 Phil’s tweets… discuss, please!

[Henry Mansell @HenryMansell]

@JoshAntmann Did you follow Phil’s tweets this weekend? Should we read into them? Any thoughts?

[Henry Mansell @HenryMansell]

@JoshAntmann Just caught up on the EoY podcast. I think Hideki’s shot on the first play-off hole at last year’s Sony Open has to be a contender for shot of the year. 3-wood from 276 to two feet for eagle, into the sun as well!

Brilliant photo — thank you! In 1966 I rang my dad from the box on the left to tell him how my BBC job interview had gone. ‘I think I might have got it,’ I told him. 56 years later I always remember that call as I go to work at the BBC right opposite.
