I post more here about basketball & whatnot than my writing, so here's a new pinned post about my writing. A second poetry collection is on the way, so I updated mitchnobis.com, which I *know* you've all been clamoring for.

Here is more or less my 2¢ on the matter: bsky.app/profile/mitc...
Thanks for reminding me to share my work sometimes, sticker on someone's cooler at the in-laws' neighborhood summer party yesterday.
In related news, the new single from Lake Street Dive is an outstanding piece of melancholy on that exact same theme. Well, not data forms, but the whole "one life, would you look at all the wonder?" thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7QY...

We are moving from "Adam Silver kind of sucks & I hope we get a new commissioner soon" to "Adam Silver needs to get tarred and feathered and tied to the back of a horse who gets whipped and sent out of town."
The NBA has reached deals with Kalshi and Polymarket to make them the league's preferred prediction markets partners. The companies can now use NBA IP on their platforms, while the NBA gets right of approval on markets that they offer. That and more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

Guys, I gotta be honest. I'll say Pistons in 7 in '27 almost daily for the next 13 months, but I think our guys take it in 5 in '27, if I'm being real. Just doesn't sound as cool, so please keep that in the back of your minds. Thanks!

We have some incredible books in the pipeline. One that I’m especially excited about is Pretty Joey Ross by @patricknevins.bsky.social. Have a look at the cover by @johnchrostek.com and preorder a signed copy while you’re at it! malarkeybooks.com/store/pretty...
Did I tell you guys about how when my family took a quick trip to Denver this summer to see my aunt, she took us to a Colorado Rockies game (they stink, but they're fun!), and as we were walking back to the train afterward, someone way behind us spotted my Pistons hat and shouted "DEEEEETROIT..."
BASKETBAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL

wondered this about the attacks on higher ed as well, just an inability to grapple with material that reflects on the human endeavor & doesn’t immediately fall into a check the box growth mindset format for stockholders and spreadsheets and instead calls for actual context bsky.app/profile/will...
Genuinely think that one reason for the rise in LLMs is that many people in tech found humanities subjects difficult at school and don’t know how to address that
