That said, my maps showed him here a while back and somehow I think he will talk more about going to the Nintendo Store (not The Today Show lol c’mon).

Can't recall ever asking or even wondering what Matt Taibbi thinks about the Epstein Files story, now that he mentions it.

Classes done until after Turkey Day and so I’m treating myself to Wawa’s Gobbler hoagie, perhaps the most perfect to-go food ever made. IYKYK.
“Thanksgiving came early …” is the lede that young pup journalist Jeremy would have written years ago.

I made the most amazing pumpkin bread yesterday and am eating too much of it help. Warm pumpkin bread with butter is a real weakness for me.

Took it easy the first two weeks after the half marathon but got back to building out a stronger base. Aiming for 25 miles a week through the winter but we’ll see how the weather behaves. Did 22 miles this week after logging 10 today. Beautiful fall day for a run, 54 with no wind and lots of color.

There is also this one up starting summer 2024 from one near my home. This held up well!
It was gone by April and now the people there are moving. 😂

Damned if this doesn’t diagnose everything about why the Times approach is poorly suited for this moment.

I am very curious about how ESPN AI pulls this together (it's an element on the front page of the website). Led with Lehigh hoops and then 49ers news but then pivoted to a bunch of stories and top plays I don't care about (Antonio Brown and hockey). So maybe an AI topper? @bmoritz99.bsky.social

A strange thing I encountered is the print transcript headline and the video podcast headline differ. I don't know if they changed the print one due to the backlash or this is an A/B test. But you have to read them together textually.

Thing is, if you replace Carlson's name with "X" in this passage, it's nearly verbatim the argument people have made about X's algorithm since Elon purchased the platform. While I wouldn't compare Carlson's reach and influence with X, I'd argue they're at least comparable. (Story: is.gd/a0IG0T)

If you’re voting in PA today, let folks know how critical it is to vote YES on retaining our three state Supreme Court judges up for re-election. It’s one of the best circuit breakers we have in the state against election shenanigans.

The whole thing reminds me of this famous passage about Iceland's economic house of cards from Michael Lewis' "Boomerang."

In related news, if I had $100 to blow on a one-off custom jersey, I would have dressed as 1990s 49ers OL standout Chris Dalman and I bet you can't guess why.

We did the pumpkin patch today and my oldest picked out a blue Hubbard squash that looks like a xenomorph egg and it’s freaking me out.

Thanks! I really had to jet at the end there but wanted that 10:30 pace because of irrational obsession with round numbers..
Lastly three below. That U2 song is one of their best live releases and I stan the Rebels Season 2 soundtrack.

I did it! Gassed during the last two miles but I ran the whole way and made my time goal. Highly recommend finishing to the last three songs on my playlist.
