This one is one of my faves so far!
English
@LateRoundQB Who just got really lucky during week 1 and it’s causing us to overreact about specific players / offenses?
In particular - which offenses faced a weak pass rush during week 1 and are now set to face a potential top 10 pass rush in week 2?
I’m thinking Tampa and Minnesota
English
If you have any **non-start/sit** questions for this week's mailbag episode, send them my way.
English
@nbaschez My read - the excitement to defeat Trump & optimism for a campaign focused on the future outweigh any frustrations with the lack of process (at the moment)
If Harris wins, then 100% people who voted for the ticket will be frustrated the moment the WH stumbles
English
I ask this with absolute sincerity:
Why are Republicans the only people mad about this?

The best thing that can happen for long-term supporters of the Democratic Party is for this election to be a massive loss for the party. That’s the only way the party will reform itself. Consider how the party shut down competition in the primary, misled the public about the health of the president, chose its nominee without a democratic process, and ultimately today selected its VP. When something is totally and fundamentally broken, the best thing to do is to start over. We won’t see a reboot of the party unless it takes a massive loss in this election. Please vote accordingly.

@JacobFeldman4 @MattBrownEP Whoa - retro bowl is one of those games that keeps on growing and I consistently see dudes (gen z to older millennials like me) playing it in public (aka airplanes)
I wonder how Apple uses their own access to app download data to make decisions like this
English
@MattBrownEP It looks to me like they're adding NFL/NFLPA IP to Retro Bowl. Not sure if there are new features. They're calling it a "relaunch"
English
It's not just college football leaning into video game nostalgia.
The NFL and Apple just announced NFL Retro Bowl '25, a mobile roster management and pixel art simulation game.
English
Well, at least I know why I was encouraged to make my last day in the office Aug 1, instead of this week as I originally intended.
These are supremely talented people. My heart goes out to my colleagues. Please reach out. Willing to help in any way I can.

NEW: Axios is laying off 50 people across the company. CEO @JimVandeHei just sent out this note — which says the layoffs are because of “changes in the media business”
English
@loudmouthjulia @chaykak Glass half empty
Distribution is harder and harder to find and retention is harder to sustain
What’s going to help is actually embracing some novel constraints so you are not trying to grow with theoretically anyone who has an internet connection
English
@loudmouthjulia @chaykak 👋 friends
Glass half full - as it’s getting easier & cheaper to create your own website / app-> those who want to create a “indie bookstore” to curate …
… don’t need to rely on a new turnkey platform that winds up flattening their work to look the same (Mediumification)
English
I don’t think good curation is “scalable” in tech terms, it’s always going to be a lifestyle business
English
@chaykak @bmorrissey Agree and as you well know - the habit of checking Defector dot com is tied to the legacy of checking gawker / deadspin dot com
English
I think the way @bmorrissey puts Defector next to Drudge and DailyMail, two much much older much more entrenched titles, actually speaks to the (small-scale) success of a homepage strategy
English
@aweissman I remember stumbling upon this because of an older Dirt newsletter (and even blogged about it for a hot second) plantchestnuts.com/vin-scully-lul…
English
We're redesigning the loading animation in @browsercompany's new Arc Search app. Any ideas? Design constraints:
1. Bold enough to notice but not distracting
2. Pulls eyes to top 25% of screen
3. Fun & on brand w/ our vibe
Would love suggestions from members (@avstorm @jsngr)!!
English
This take will appeal to maybe six people but I’m loving Bill Simmons doing ads for Airbnb where he makes fun of hotels, and ads for Hilton where he makes fun of home rental sites, both in the same episode!! no one is doing it like the old man.
English
Totally unexpected and a lot of fun! Highly recommend taking the weekend to read this novel cover to cover

Hello, world! Meet my new novel. This is a story about two spies locked in a room with a gun. This is a story about how semiconductors are refactoring 21st century geopolitics. This is a story about finding yourself before they find you.
English
Breaking my tweeting moratorium to say: THIS BOOK RULES!!!
It’s incredibly cinematic, funny, gripping, and incredibly prescient.
I’ve loved Eliot’s prior novels exploring climate, AI, misinformation, and more. This one doesn’t disappoint.
Eliot Peper@eliotpeper
Psst, hey internet, I have a new novel coming out in October! Foundry is a near-future thriller about two spies locked in a room with a gun leveraging the secrets of semiconductor manufacturing to play the greatest of games, the only game that really matters: power.
English
@beh_zod Tbh it feels like nearly each and every use case for time-sensitive noties has been a failure
And… with the introduction of live activities… I don’t think they are that necessary
Example:
- waiting on an Uber
- the Mariners playoff game is starting
- flight gate changed
English
@JacobFeldman4 The most immediate comparisons I can think of are Jurassic Park in Toronto or outdoor World Cup screenings (parks or outside stadiums)
You need to drastically rethink the floor plan and how we all sit/stand together for this to work…
English
I think there's a big opportunity for creating communal places to watch sports.
Having spent some time in movie theaters recently, I don't think that's the spot.

News: ESPN will televise 75 college football games in movie theaters this year, including ACC contests and the New Year’s Six bowl games. ESPN previously aired the 2021 and '22 CFP games in theaters through a partnership with Cinemark.

Awfully sad to wake up and write this obituary today. The beauty of Stars of the Lid's music is obvious and eternal, but reading about how many students' lives Brian McBride impacted as a debate coach was an unexpected, touching part of his life to learn about. RIP 💛

@NBA_University Seeing the changes in who’s running with Fultz is a nice touch
English
@NBA_University Biased Magic fan but more of this (both Fultz appreciation and the graphics)
English
Markelle Fultz masterfully runs the pick-n-roll with his best teammates as his screen partners:
WCJ: 1.17 points per possession
Paolo: 1.24
Franz: 1.30
He manipulates screens and makes the right play almost every time. Special talent.
