Great news! Your little software company has customers in India! [you will now have meetings at 5AM every week until you die]

If the Clippers don't get severely sanctioned for the Kawhi stuff, it'll be a signal that the team owners would rather be in business with a cheater than risk being punished themselves down the line. It's a political decision that makes their league and the fan experience worse.

This is how you know we need a wealth tax

The Dodgers are 4-8 since visiting the White House including six straight losses. 

Those two goals were always coming. England went with the prevent defense - it never works

Pretty wild that the Beckhams still seem to like each other

In the summer I’m much less “online” - it can be disorienting. For instance, what’s up with all the diarrhea jokes?

The hidden superpower for LLMs seems to be developer documentation. We are seeing integration times for our platform go from weeks to hours

Please tell me Mamdani has a place in Kennebunkport

If I were Pochettino or a team captain I would not start Balogun tonight
