@JonRothstein I wish they'd focus on other areas that need fixing rather than changing something that's already good.

Expanding the NCAA Tournament is a terrible thing for college basketball's regular season. bit.ly/4lmjETP (Apple) bit.ly/443aDt9 (Spotify) bit.ly/4cPch6c (YouTube)

Wonderwood Park in Lacey, WA is especially well maintained today. The best it's looked in years. @CityofLacey

@athenaeumbc Not sure why this pessimistic "stat" goes viral a couple times a year. Readers are still reading. Every year that goes by there are both more writers and more readers. There have never ever been more literate people. Reading is popular. Writing is popular. Everyone reads.

Fewer than half of US adults read a book last year. Even fewer read an actual novel, and the trend is looking worse still for teenagers. Why is nobody talking about this??

Timme is a better offensive player than Bronny James and it's not even close.

The Procession of the Species parade is the best thing about Olympia, WA

@kxly4news So it would cost them a tank of gas?

Lakeland School District voters will decide May 19 on a $15 million facilities levy to fund critical repairs across 11 schools. The measure would cost homeowners about $166 annually on a $550,000 home. kxly.com/news/lakeland-…

Nothing hits harder than fellow runners warning "Absolutely do not bike on the roads around here." I have friends moving to Bellingham and Bend. Is it the culture or the infastructure? Which comes first?

@KHQLocalNews I know a guy who goes out fishin' every day He catches at least 11 but some he throws away What a great hobby, what a great way to spend the day. That's what you'd say until you heard my man's earning $160k He's rollin' in it. The Columbia River dough. @BradPaisley

Last year's top angler caught over 15,000 fish and earned more than $159,000 during the five-month season. khq.com/news/washingto…

@Predamame Half as many as Sybil Ludington

How many gels did Paul Revere take during his midnight ride?

@stevemagness I like a pre-test that matches the the post test. Do a preseason time trial, not as training but just to get a baseline. Intervals are a whole different beast.

We would never tell a novice to go max out on deadlift a few times a week Yet we often get advice for general fitness to go all out in interval training We need to teach people how to train & what it feels like before pressing their limits, even if those limits are low at 1st

@NickKristof And at the same time it doesn't listen. It can tell you precisely why it has trouble listening and following directions, but it can't seem to follow them no matter how you write the prompt.

One of the reasons ChatGPT is popular is that it is so agreeable. Reminds me of the Chinese expression for flattery: 闻屁说香, to smell someone's fart and say it's fragrant.

@stevemagness Thanks for making the connection between toilet training and endurance running. It's an interesting parallel.

@JonChep @DXContent While receiving the negative comments to this post today, it was refreshing to read a Sharon McMahon excerpt that said no one's epitaph will say this person roasted many people on the internet. I enjoyed rooting for Innocenti at GU. Sad to see him go but hope he does well.

@JonChep @DXContent Emmanuel Innocenti is a talented Hachima/Kispert type scoring forward who's developed pretty significantly under Coach Few at GU. He does well when partnered with a veteran PG like Braeden Smith.

NEWS: Gonzaga’s Emmanuel Innocenti intends to enter the transfer portal, his reps at THE·TEAM tell DraftExpress. The Italian utility wing stepped into a starting role for the 31-win Zags, adding immense value as a two-way connector. Stars in his role and drives winning.

@JamesCrepea Love the tweet. Why did the headline omit his name and image?

@stevemagness Old rule of thumb, Bloom's Taxonomy (1956)

New rule of thumb, if you can't tell me who Arthur Lydiard, Mihali Igloi, Doc Counsilman is we shouldn't put much stock into your advice for exercise. Far too many neglect understanding the history of training which provides the roadmap.

@stevemagness Yes but elected people are tasked with being open, communicative, available and trasparent. I don't mind private citizens plugging their ears to avoid negativity bias but governors, mayors and other elected peoples should ALL have active accounts.

I've seen so many smart folks lose their mind on social media. It's wild. And a word of caution to us all. Get offline. Go touch grass. Don't let your ego and arrogance get the best of you.

@beatmastermatt Can we get a US presidents ranked by level of honesty?

But the president has repeatedly told us the war is over. Are you telling me he lied? Because he’s never lied before.

@LevAkabas Gonzaga would've won the championship in 2020

@stevemagness With respect, which parenting philosophies you are referring to?

There’s an entire industry designed to make you think that one “wrong” move with your baby and they’ll have “trauma” for life or something. It’s mostly fear mongering that creates anxious parents, who feel overwhelmed from trying to be “perfect” for a unique baby with their own…
