Incredibly honored to be read so generously by @roguepages in this joint review of my and @awayandback's books! Commissioned by @LeahAtWhatPrice for @PublicBooks

[Public Books @PublicBooks]

Against the backlit glow of the screen, paper is emerging in all its strangeness as a compelling object of study.

@roguepages explores what we do with paper—and what it has done to us: https://t.co/XHUDk4k4R2

The Rams are the anti Bills

Rams: Recognize their Super Bowl window, capitalize with big-swing moves year after year, find results

Bills: Take half measures while
meandering through the prime of Josh Allen’s career, never win the big game

Do I get the rest of Manhattan with E? Because obviously.

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation to New York. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Good reminder that neither RFK nor anyone else in his cohort actually thinks elite higher education is bad. They think you are gullible enough to think they think that, however

The Pope should release an encyclical about the search function in Outlook.

I heard an interview today about AI in creative spaces and the man being interviewed said “AI is data, and Data can only look backwards. Creativity looks forwards.” And I need to sit with that in the best possible way.

“The media transform the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere. No story has ever spoken so much or shown so much.“

Being an American right now is just waking up and being told how much more money our president is stealing and having to go about our day like normal.

@BradRiter @ByTimGraham 1999. Stanley Cup run and Flutie fever into the playoffs was real. Even though we got No Goal and Music City miracle 6 months apart.

[Tom Withers @twithersCLE]

Shame that a certain sports network would ask "Is Buffalo cursed to have the Sabres and Bills?"

Most Buffalonians feel blessed to have two major sports franchises in such a small market.

You have to give your heart to get it broken. Not many cities can match Buffalo's heart.

Fixed it. #sabrehood

[Brother Bill @TheeBrotherBill]

Buffalo by far is the best at losing. No one loses in more agonizing, unbelievable and exciting ways than we do

We’ll never have a nice thing. Ever.

We developed such effective vaccines and pasteurization that people now think preventable diseases are fake and basic precautions are tyranny.

[Brayton J. Wilson @BraytonJWilson]

Had a guy, who called himself a psychic, call me three times today. He told me that the #Bills will win the Super Bowl in 2027, and the #Sabres will win the Stanley Cup in 2026. Take that for what it’s worth.

[Jonathan Koziol @jonathan_koziol]

I was told Montreal fans don’t leave early and cheer till the end no matter? #LetsGoBuffalo

[Rich Luchette @richluchette]

5-3 Sabres!
