UPDATE: We still do not have an agreement because Spotify will not commit to key safeguards against the creep of AI into our work. Our members have fought hard for a fair contract, yet we’re being forced to wait longer on an issue that Spotify dragged their feet on for months.

I wish this was happening during a Medvedev match. We need his commentary. He’d be up in the rafters doing the negotiating himself.

Carlos Alcaraz started this grass court season just trying to figure out how to play on grass without constantly thinking of his footing. He nearly lost to #83 Rinderknech.
He has now won 12 matches in a row, winning Wimbledon, beating Djokovic in the final. What the hell.

If you’d told me that between Barbie and Oppenheimer, one would start online discourse about on-screen age gaps and the other would lead to international controversy rooted in 1940s Asian geopolitics, never in a million years would have I guessed which one would yield which.

my husband knew a scientist who spent a summer at the sante fe institute, and when asked "did you ever see cormac mccarthy around?", his response was "who?"
and then after some clarification: "oh that weird author guy? yeah he was always just sitting in the cafeteria”

Cormac McCarthy constructed beautifully grim worlds full of unpredictability and indifference. @BrianPhillips pays tribute to the legendary author: theringer.com/2023/6/14/2376…

The most powerful force in this crazy sport? It's not Alcaraz's game or Sabalenka's forehand or Djokovic's mental strength. It's tennis karma....Miyu Kato (and Tim Puetz) wins mixed doubled title #RolandGarros

David Hirshey literally wrote the book on Pele and the New York Cosmos. And he's written a lovely ode to the King and his impact on soccer in the US: es.pn/3hYtnVF

I loved listening to @brianphillips 22 Goals podcast. But I really appreciated the last episode, which featured Pelé and made me re-think some things:
"You haven't walked a mile in his shoes and you couldn't, because he didn't have any."
