Watching your favorite sports team play has become more complicated in recent years — as more and more games go behind paywalls on various streaming services. Fans are frustrated and leagues could be undermining their unique antitrust exemptions.

@L0m3z @ark_press We are so back... x.com/TomMJohnsonJr/…

We’ll be adding more children’s and YA titles throughout the year, including more Hardy Boys and the original Nancy Drew, along with @ark_press’s American Treasure Hunter series. We are making children’s literature great again. Your kids will read and they will enjoy it.

When someone says they want better, cheaper mobile service and U.S. leadership in wireless but doesn’t support the spectrum auctions or reforms of wireless infrastructure permitting necessary for better, cheaper wireless service and U.S. leadership in wireless.

@WrnrWrites It appears AI has made the common mistake of confusing Dr. Frankenstein with Frankenstein's Monster

To confirm, this “100% AI generated” passage is the opening of chapter 5 from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

@MikeJShowalter I asked Grok to make your business card

Thank you Tom 🙏🏻 I am grateful for kind and generous mentors!

Mike was my Special Counsel at Wiley on appellate matters the last few years. He’s an exceptional writer and legal thinker; he doesn’t need AI to write a top-flight brief. But he’s decided to hang his own shingle to explore the cutting-edge intersection between AI and legal practice. I’m excited to follow his journey. #appellatetwitter

This is huge. Americans depend on local TV broadcasters for free over the air access to iconic live sports events like America’s Game. Kudos to @BrendanCarrFCC and President Trump on this historic EO.

For years, the FCC stood idly by while trusted sources of local news and information went out of business. Newspapers closed by the dozen in communities all across the country. Replaced by national programming that does not always meet local needs or the public interest. The reporters and journalists at local broadcast TV stations filled the void—providing trusted, gumshoe reporting. Today, the FCC acts to empower some of those broadcast TV stations. It does so by approving the combination of Nexstar and TEGNA TV stations. While Nexstar will own less than 15% of television stations after this deal, the transaction allows them to *increase* local news and compete in a more balanced way against the much larger players that now dominate today’s media market. The FCC’s conclusions are bolstered by certain concrete conditions that Nexstar has committed to as part of this deal—including divesting a number of stations, increasing localism, and affordability steps. Thank you to the FCC’s talented public servants for your work on this matter.

@AjitPai @Super70sSports Core memory unlocked! The brake never worked anyway; it just sort of scratched the back wheel as you spiraled downhill!

We had it made. Notice how the narrator’s least enthusiastic word is “braking.” cc @Super70sSports

There's probably no one out there doing more thoughtful tech and telecom analysis during this administration than @DigitalProInst - and it's super exciting that the talented @SayreEvan is now under one roof with Nick Degani and @joellthayer.

@Schilling1776 Congrats Terry!

After a day of tornado warnings, hospital power outages, an emergency c-section, (and an epidural) Charles John Edward Schilling was born! Mom and baby are doing great and he’s got 7 sibling who are very excited to meet him! John 3:16 Thanks for the prayers!

Personnel news: I'm excited to join @DigitalProInst as Senior Fellow. @JoelLThayer and team have built an incredible organization that punches far above its weight and is always one step ahead on the defining issues in tech policy. We're hitting the ground running!

Happy Ides of March to all who beware it

Toddler having a real word explosion recently. Ball, bath, bed, bird, boo (grandma), bud (big bro), bubba (paci). All pronounced “Ba!” Milestone unlocked!
