1968 Final Four. UCLA with the blowout of Houston. More importantly, this photo is basketball art. And you want to talk about skill ? That skyhook is one helluva skill. That’s just a basketball truth.

Giant corporations, including Amazon and Microsoft, have earned record-breaking profits and gotten massive tax breaks from the Trump administration. So why are they laying off thousands of workers? This looks like another example of unchecked corporate greed.

LISA KUDROW: “Remember when medicine wasn’t big business? Because in the ‘70s, it wasn’t. It was still like the healing arts.” BILL MAHER: “Healthcare is a mess in this country for many reasons.” “But the top probably would be… the fact that a hospital is run very much like an airline.” “They don’t want any empty seats on an airplane, and they don’t want any empty beds. That’s why when there’s a crisis, they’re overrun.” “They should have excess space, but that would hurt the bottom line.”

Big Brain Philosophy
Big Brain Philosophy@BigBrainPhiloso·
Daniel Dennett: "If I gave a prize to the best idea anybody ever had, I'd give it to Darwin." Not Newton. Not Einstein. Darwin. In a 2015 documentary, philosopher Daniel Dennett makes a striking case for why Darwin's idea of natural selection is the single greatest intellectual achievement in human history. His reasoning isn't just about biology. Dennett argues that what makes Darwin's idea so extraordinary is what it unifies. Before Darwin, the world was split into two seemingly incompatible realms: the physical world of cause and matter, and the world of meaning, purpose, and consciousness. These felt like they belonged to different categories entirely. One explained by science, the other by something else. Darwin's idea, Dennett says, is the backbone that bridges them: "The Darwinian idea of natural selection unifies the world. It unifies the world of cause and matter and physics with the world of meaning and purpose consciousness. The whole spectrum of life depends on uniting the living with the non-living, the meaning with the non-meaning, the purposeful with the merely mechanical and merely physical." That's not a small claim. It's a philosophical revolution disguised as a biology paper. What Dennett is pointing to is that natural selection gives us a mechanism: a purely physical, purposeless process that generates purpose. Organisms don't need a designer to have goals. The appearance of design, the reality of meaning, emerges from the bottom up. The best idea anyone ever had. No prize for second place.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

@HannahDCox I live in CA where online sports betting is illegal. But it is still happening on the black market. A friend of mine in CA got a white labeled betting app from a bookie that he uses for online betting.

There is absolutely no upside to legalizing online sports betting. 2-5% of people will become compulsive gamblers, and when half of young men have downloaded a casino into their pocket, that's a whole lot of people society is going to lose and/or have to clean up the mess for. I was so glad to see the measure from Rep Reeves to expand this practice in Georgia fail. 120 votes were needed, 98 voted no. Government can't stop vices but it can prevent predatory practices that prey on people.

John Maynard Keynes convinced politicians they could spend their way to prosperity by stealing from savers through inflation. His "genius" was telling power-hungry bureaucrats exactly what they wanted to hear—that fiscal restraint is unnecessary.

Wealth inequality has never been so bad. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck, 938 billionaires got $1.5T richer in 2025. Justice Brandeis was right: "We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."

I’m sure the outcome of tonight’s game won’t really change your opinion, so I might as well ask now. Out of 10, how would you rank your enjoyment of the World Baseball Classic? Ten being the highest score. I give it a ten. My only complaint is the pitch count limit. But I get why it’s a rule.
