@cmcollin41 If he can commit to D and rebounding, him being mainly a 3-point specialist on O is more than fine with me.

I don’t think you can ever have enough big shooters! Here is the player profile on Tyler Betsy from bsktbll app “Betsey is a pure perimeter shooter in a forward's body — essentially a "stretch 4/5" who lives on the three-point line. His 12.4% mid-range usage shows smart shot selection, avoiding inefficient areas. His year-two development trajectory is excellent: significant improvements in shooting efficiency, scoring output, and role expansion. However, his 16.6% paint usage reveals a player who doesn't leverage his size advantage consistently. He's developing into a one-dimensional but highly effective spacing weapon rather than a complete frontcourt player. The 40.7% three-point shooting on high volume makes him immediately valuable in modern basketball systems that prioritize spacing.”

@PostJimmer @erc95 Agreed. I shouldn't imply they're actively pushing anyone out the door. The NIL/sponsors/boosters no longer overpaying, and in many cases readjusting/rightsizing what they'll pay existing players, they're tacitly encouraging these players to find better fits.

@JeremyBikman @erc95 To be clear, I don't think they "pushed him out," per se. I think they would have loved for Aleks to stay! But they simply weren't going to overpay to make it happen. Which feels smart!

Bummed about this one! I know it’s never black and white but do we think the number of guys leaving is due more to A. BYU is “pushing them out” or B. They don’t want to be there? 🤔

@rtmccombs Smart move to find greener pastures. His good 3-point shooting is overshadowed by his inability to play defense, to dribble the ball without turning it over or getting trapped, or to create his own shot. He could be a starter at a G5 school instead of bench player at BYU.

@joeroganhq Dr. Emanuel...

Dr. Zeke Emanuel: "Ice cream is very good for you." Bill Maher: "It’s not." Dr. Zeke Emanuel: "It is... They did a study in 2014, and the thing that prevented type 2 diabetes the most, ice cream. Plus, it makes you happy."

@TheRealCOneal Yep. If you buy it, you should have full rights to repair it. This ain’t a lease

I wonder how this John Deere settlement will influence not only manufacturing, but other markets/industries with major players with walled gardens (i.e., locked up data, lack of integrations, artificially-limited competition, etc.). thedrive.com/news/john-deer…

I'd be worried if there wasn't massive turnover. BYU had only 3 reliable players: 1) AJ = Elite 2) Richie = Great 3) Rob = Good/Really Good None of the other players leaving the program can even be considered average. Keep Mboup, Kostic, Pickens, Baker, and upgrade everywhere else.

“I’m worried” or “we’ll be fine”?

@DChrisWright @joeroganhq Exactly. There's a lot of potential Darwin Award winners out there shocked that huge cookies, loaded with frosting and sugar, aren't healthy.

@jeremybikman @joeroganhq Oh no, a cookie company making......cookies? THE HORROR. Did you also hear that Walmart also sells these demonic satanic emblems we call "bakery items"? Not just cookies, but donuts, pastries, and even cake. CAKE! What will they try to bind us down with next? Croissants?!?

"One of the most evil demonic brands in American is Crumbl Cookie… The owner is making millions of dollars off this product and is really poisoning the American people."

@jackson5payne Color me completely unsurprised. Last season was very instructive for KY, and his staff, as to what types of players they really need in the program to be successful at the highest levels.

BYU will have a complete roster overhaul on its hands

Last week we had a CEO say he wants to replace almost all radiologists with AI, and now we're having the former CEO of Geisinger saying even if there weren't a labor shortage, hospitals should aggressively try and replace as many healthcare workers and support staff with AI as possible. I'm definitely in the Greg Miller camp where the highest, most productive, form of AI is a hybrid intelligence model with AI acting as a fantastic assistant to clinicians and other staff. Even Jensen Huang is a proponent of this. So it's no surprise I find a slash and burn, Paul Erlich-esque, view of AI rather off-putting and erroneous. Talk about fanning the 'AI is coming for your job' flames... statnews.com/2026/04/07/hea…

Very Interesting 🧐 Idaho’s so-called “Zone of Death” is one of the most unusual legal curiosities in the United States, blending remote geography with a little-known constitutional loophole. It exists within a small, uninhabited portion of Yellowstone National Park that extends into eastern Idaho. While the vast majority of Yellowstone lies in Wyoming, this sliver of land—roughly 50 square miles—sits west of the park’s main boundaries and is characterized by rugged wilderness, dense forests, and volcanic terrain shaped by the same forces that created the park’s famous geysers and hot springs. Geographically, the Idaho section of Yellowstone is remote even by the park’s standards. It features thick lodgepole pine forests, uneven lava-formed landscapes, and limited access, with few roads or maintained trails. The area lies near the western edge of the Yellowstone Plateau, a region influenced by an ancient volcanic hotspot. Nearby features like Island Park and the broader Snake River Plain reflect the same geologic history, with vast lava flows and caldera formations that give the land a stark, otherworldly feel. Wildlife such as elk, bears, and wolves roam freely here, and human presence is almost nonexistent, making it one of the most isolated places in the contiguous United States. The “Zone of Death” nickname comes not from the landscape itself, but from a legal loophole tied to how the park is governed. Yellowstone is entirely under the jurisdiction of the federal court district of Wyoming, even the parts that lie in Idaho and Montana. This creates a conflict with the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees that a criminal defendant has the right to a jury drawn from both the state and the federal district in which the crime occurred. In the Idaho portion of Yellowstone, this becomes problematic: while the crime would occur in Idaho, the judicial district is Wyoming. Because the Constitution requires jurors to come from both the state and the district, a trial for a crime committed in this area would need a jury composed of people who live in the Idaho section of the Wyoming federal district. However, no one lives there. The area has no permanent residents, making it effectively impossible to assemble a legally valid jury under the strict interpretation of the Sixth Amendment. This theoretical inability to conduct a proper trial is what gives rise to the idea that someone could evade prosecution for a serious crime committed in this zone. The loophole was first widely discussed by Brian C. Kalt, who outlined the issue in a 2005 law review article. He argued that unless Congress adjusts the district boundaries or legal requirements, the problem remains unresolved. Despite its dramatic name, no one has successfully exploited the loophole, and the U.S. government would likely find alternative legal strategies if such a case arose. Still, the Zone of Death highlights how the intersection of geography, population, and constitutional law can produce unexpected gaps in even the most carefully designed legal systems. In the end, Idaho’s Zone of Death is less a place of danger and more a fascinating thought experiment—where remote wilderness and legal technicalities combine to create one of the strangest anomalies in American law.

Fake data is now infesting primary research under benign sounding terms like Silicon Sampling or Synthetic Data. Sorry, but this is (much) worse than anecdotes especially in the B2B / Enterprise space. When you hire a research firm or a consultant, you now have no idea if the data (in the study/report they give you) are from real people and real buyers/users or if it's just made up. Demand complete, and total, transparency from now. Or, better yet, do it yourself with @ReactionData nytimes.com/2026/04/06/opi…

He is risen!

He is risen! And because Christ rose again, we will too. Thanks to Him, no pain, fear, failure, or unfairness is permanent. This is greater love. This is Easter.

@Polymarket Yeah, Dr. Katz (who did his medical residency in internal medicine but has been primarily and administrator his entire career) is extraordinarily wrong.

JUST IN: CEO of NYC Health, America's largest hospital system, says AI could replace “a great deal” of radiologists right now.
