@npub17ha…t8va It is quite amazing you have this treasure trove. Are there plans for this to wind up in the GW library, or elsewhere, some day?

$7.8 billion is a lot of reasons for #ESPN to be aggressive with their #streaming strategies.
“ESPN has signed a six-year extension worth $7.8 billion to remain the sole #TV partner for the #NCAA's top football playoff tournament, ESPN chief Jimmy Pitaro told Sara Fischer during Axios' What's Next Summit on Tuesday.
“The new deal keeps the College Football Playoff on ESPN through the 2031-32 season.”

@npub17ha…t8va That is interesting. I’ve long thought the Murrow moment benefits from the compression of time. And modern politicos are insulated from the many more choices audiences have today (for dessert and vegetables).
Do you know if/when Schwartz’s book will be out?

@npub1mp3…qjxj That’s why it’s great! And why I’m hoping to never drop mine … because now this challenge is out there and mine would inevitably look like the AI version of yours. Badly rendered and awkwardly angled.

@npub1mp3…qjxj That looks so great. Luxury car upsell great.

Enjoyed a low-speed bike crash (NOT pictured) this evening. An entire neighborhood seemed to come to my immediate aid, which was charming.
Road rash on the outside of my lower right leg. Stupidly, I put my hand down so I have some bruising in my palm (gloves did their job) and what feels like a low grade wrist sprain. Somehow, I cut the tip of my left index finger.
As ever, those showers are fun.

I really, really, wish the Ice Cubes app was good with C&P pagination.
And didn’t crash when I look at profiles.

Stipulated: This legislation is troublesome. And, like all legislation, there are a lot of players and backstory. Here, there are few sympathetic characters.
But, man, I’m not sure how we got to Facebook “wants to stop the contagion of these policies from reaching the U.S. and Europe,” like FB is doing everyone a solid.
They say, in this release, this is a business decision. Rightly so.
Everything else is just carrying FB’s water.

Using the words “decried” and “decrying” in the headline and lead, respectively, makes for some of the most mealy-mouthed writing you’ll find in the @npub1lyq…c6u4.

The fourth #insurance company to reshape their coverage, or pull up stakes altogether, in #Florida in the last year.
Florida tops the nation in insurance costs, say industry experts, and premiums leapt up 42 percent higher than last year.

“Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, the state’s top Republican, said he wants it to cut all funding the university system would use for diversity initiatives. He estimated the cuts would total $32 million.
[…]
“‘I want the university to grow and succeed, but if they are obsessed with spending all the scarce dollars that they have on programs that are clearly divisive and offer little public good, I don’t know why we’d want to support that,’” Vos said.

An epically huge scandal.
“A group of conservative operatives using sophisticated robocalls raised millions of dollars from donors using pro-police and pro-veteran messages. But instead of using the money to promote issues and candidates, an analysis by The New York Times shows, nearly all the money went to pay the firms making the calls and the operatives themselves, highlighting a flaw in the regulation of political nonprofits.”

The United States fell three spots, to 45th, in the global study.
"According to the 2023 World Press Freedom Index the situation is “very serious” in 31 countries, “difficult” in 42, “problematic” in 55, and “good” or “satisfactory” in 52 countries. In other words, the environment for journalism is “bad” in seven out of ten countries, and satisfactory in only three out of ten."
