Compared to Chalamet and Belushi, actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson can seem deeply unjacked. It took time to appreciate his profound, gym-ratted strength, writes Jon Fasman.

What have they done to the game I loved???

😂

Maybe I’m old fashion, but I would be taking the 6’7 OT who can move like that with a top-5 pick next year

A lot of “making it” comes down to presenting like a star in meetings with execs. Being eccentric and offputting and rude really works with a certain kind of moneyman as long as you’re handsome

The moon hasn’t gone down in like 4 days. Seems fine…

😂

POV: you’re a lighter

Never want to hear these people play the Christian Card again. Unless there’s a super secret new testament I haven’t read, this is about as far from Jesus as you can get…

Skubal only threw 99 pitches yesterday. Should be good to go later this morning. Manfred’s gotta make the call to let it happen

Isn’t that a swinging strike?

I like the Tigers but if you have the best pitcher in baseball and he’s dealing and you pull him at 99 pitches, you deserve to lose…

Great kicker. Marc Benioff’s PR team wanted him to do an interview about philanthropy. Instead he sounded off on a bunch of Trump policies he supports and called for the White House to send troops to SF.

Doesn’t seem like the comms team was pleased with how the interview went..

🙌🙌

I recently got to work on a fun assignment (for once!!): a guide to Austin for @essesmag.com. They are previewing/teasing the guide with a profile I did of Parish BBQ (located behind Batch on Manor) and its owner, Holden Fulco. substack.com/home/post/p-...

This last month, I’ve been lucky enough to work with the great @jessicawluther.com on an @essesmag.com x Square Guide to Austin that we’ll be releasing ahead of the U.S. Grand Prix.

The first profile from the guide is up on our Substack today: substack.com/home/post/p-...

fuck, that was great and I hate that that exists. I loved editing kaleb the one time I got to and it wasn't easy at all. a genius. obsessive about every word. all you could hope for in a writer: he truly gave a shit

Some stories about my friend Kaleb, on the occasion of his funeral:

The nominative determinism of this specific atrocity is off the charts here.

My take? It's amazing that QB scouting is such a crapshoot that Family Lineage is actually not a terrible metric. Like, two dudes with the last name Manning won Super Bowls this century? That seems a safer thing to pick someone in the 1st round off of than 19 good games at North Dakota St...

I assume Clayton Kershaw is being punished by God because he again didn't do something heterosexually enough. That's on him.

Trying desperately to find pathways for the Dodgers not to repeat, and the only two I've got are:
1) Not being able to field or relief pitch has to matter at some point.
2) The MLB got a Yankees-Dodgers WS last year, so they're due for a Blue Jays-Brewers one this year.

Just thought up a metric that’ll be extremely helpful for Fantasy Football experts. I know how to calculate but don’t know how to “build a model”. But, uh, how does one go about selling a metric? If this is not a thing, have me on your podcast and I’ll give it out for free. If it is, IM RICH!!! 🤑
