Watching the Michigan-Rutgers game on Hulu in Pennsylvania, getting Michigan Senate ads. CTV targeting still has huge room for improvement.

Introducing the Axios-CivicScience AI Sentiment Index, tracking Americans' views on AI's impact on our society, economy, and quality of life (also data centers). TL;DR - it's not very positive at the moment. @axios @CivicScience axios.com/2026/10/30/ai-sent…

This chart explains our current sociopolitical situation brilliantly. We’re much more likely to fear “the others” when we believe they’re more prominent than they are.

The Brewers rolling into Lambeau the night after winning the World Series is epic.

In honor of Steelers-Browns week, here’s one of my favorite all-time stats:

The Steelers haven’t allowed a 2nd half touchdown in 4 straight games. The last time that happened was 2024. Give Patrick Grahams unit credit for stepping up in crunch time.

Far down the list of the many reasons this was so politically stupid is the fact that nothing makes someone more relatable to Gen X voters than having a f***ked up relationship with their parents.

Absolutely true
Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday is one of the greatest performances, not only in a Western but, in all cinematic history.

We should get used to BYU and Northwestern being good.

Huge respect to Bremmer, but this is a weak take. Good comms earn trust and bad comms dissolve it.
in the united states, opposition to ai isn’t fear of technology. americans haven’t suddenly become a nation of luddites. it’s a well founded belief that those with power are not going to use ai in ways that benefit the average american. this is not a comms problem. it’s a trust problem.

Microsoft president: “We should consider the fact that when the president honored six Americans with these technology and science medals, five of the six had come to the United States as immigrants. And those five individuals, if you put them and their companies together, have companies that have a market value equal to more than 25% of the market value of the total S&P 500.” politico.com/news/2026/10/15…

This probably doesn't mean anything, but the percentage of Americans who identify as "happy" reached the lowest level we've seen in 16 years last month.
