Happy publication from my past decided to delete a bunch of my articles day to me I guess. I've found at least three of my favorite stories are gone from this website. Thank god I have PDFs of every story I did for them

I asked a spurs fan about Levy stepping down. Gotta say I enjoyed the interaction 😂

I really respect the Wall Street Journal for doing their due diligence on these jobs. I just hope their reporting hasn't suffered over the past seven years while they deliberate

Weirdness of losing this game aside, this pitching line is LLWS stuff. 15 of 19 outs are strikeouts? wild

Good primer, with sources in show notes:

Beavers off to a 3-0 start, and deep-league fantasy players are starting to wonder if i'm worth an add for my pitching ratios

@jtkantor.bsky.social my friend is being honored at tonight’s game. She donated bone marrow and saved someone’s life. My friend and her recipient are meeting on field at the game so I asked them for requests to send to you. Any chance you could play these songs? Thanks so much!

Sunday was game 1 of my 2nd year in a DC Men's ⚾ League. Year 1 was tough, but I have high hopes for year 2. This is a stats thread. So far, so good

With the world falling apart I’m extra appreciative of shabbos. Cooking with and for my family is so fortifying

Somehow these are the 11th and 12th paragraphs of the NYT write up of last nights congressional attack on American life

Jewish or Jewish run publications should not be publishing antisemitic white supremacists, imo. But it is truly next level for Bari to hire this shithead to opine on Nazi salutes in particular

The funniest version of this is that the king in question is Eric Adams. Nonetheless we live in the shadow realm and I hate it

SpeshFX is just me, and I travel across North America and, when I can, the world to do on-site reporting. Some of the stories are free for all, and a bunch are behind a paywall. Please subscribe, paid or free, I think you'll enjoy what you see.

The newsletter covers the nitty-gritty of the bbx scene, but I also cover the basics. This stuff I often pitch to general interest publications like Brooklyn Magazine, the New York Times, and Celebrate Arkansas, to name a few. You can find links to all this work under "Elsewhere in the News" 4/x

The podcast led to more original reporting on the bbx scene, and I now share that reporting in a newsletter, also called SpeshFX. The newsletter has profiles, investigative reporting, and some informed essays about the state of beatbox. 4/x

It all starts with the original podcast SpeshFX, a narrative exploration of beatbox. It takes you from curiosity to obsession the same way it happened to me 2/x

Me and @sydspan.bsky.social got married. It’s a very good thing, imho

Quick Costco run in advance of the wedding…
