All the talk is about Michael, Magic, Bird and now LeBron but @JuliusErving carried the @NBA and pro basketball in the 1970s damn near by himself when it came to entertainment and MUST SEE players in that era. I don’t think he gets enough praise for how FANtastic he was……

Okay Such a great conversation with @drsanjaygupta for @CNN at @McLeanHospital @harvardmed about why growing numbers of women are turning to cannabis to treat medical and mental health conditions, and its impact and influence on women’s health 🌿

As a sanctuary, we're always working to provide our residents as much room to engage in natural behaviors and simply "be" in as natural a setting as possible. That means male wolfdog, Mesa, can spend as much time as he wants lounging around, watching animal care staff work nearby

Truly incredible stuff here. This is such an egregious error for the A section of the NYT (not a typo, genuinely not knowing what NATO stands for) that it should lead every piece on the decline in journalism
Sasha Issenberg@sissenberg

Does the @nytimes know what NATO stands for?

NEW: We just published a deep dive into just how much billionaires are now dominating U.S. politics. We found 300 billionaire families accounted for 19% of federal donations in 2024. The deluge was even larger in many state and local races. 1/7 nytimes.com/2026/03/09/us/…

I haven't listened to what's below but I've told some journos about the Leg's Temperance Caucus. Yes, the one in the 21st century.

Are "uptighty whitey" Olympia Democrats the new Mormons? I made the affirmative case today on @KUOW's Week in Review over the legislative push (largely supported by Dems) to lower the BAC standard for impaired driving in WA to .05% from the current .08% standard shared by every other state in the union except... yes, Utah. Thus proving that I am an impious libertine at heart. We also talked sports, CCTV cameras and whether legal settlements are getting way out of control. And we sang the praises of @ScarecrowVideo, which I have now publicly obligated myself to support. And you should too. Thx to @KenJennings, who was also on this week along with former City Attorney @_Ann_Davison_ for an entertaining conversation, and as always to @KUOWRadke, @Kevin_Kniestedt, and @Kattressa for inviting me on. kuow.org/stories/week-i…
