So, 41 years ago today right now I was in my hotel room at Caesar's Palace going over my notes for this broadcast. We all knew it would probably be a great night for the sport, but no one could have known just how much it would live on as one of the most iconic moments in the sport's long history. These two men added a major piece of what made them legends in the sport. It was an honor to be able to chronicle this with Al Michaels.

Your annual Donald Rumsfeld IRS Tax Day Letter appreciation post.

Very well. Where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims, like he "invented" the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy... the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess, and the insane lament. My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we'd make meat helmets...

As a child, fearful that my ailing father would be drafted into the Chinese military, I took his spot—though, as a girl, I was technically unqualified to serve. I cleverly impersonated a man and went off to train with fellow recruits, where I excelled.

@senatorshoshana "Weissman" very interesting. Can you tell us what your early life was like

@senatorshoshana @LauraDelano Honest question: what's the elevator pitch against SSRI for the median person?
English
I'm in the middle of @LauraDelano's book about her mental health journey and the horror she went through and nonsense psychiatrists prescribed to her. It's gobsmacking - an SSRI, then a drug to block dopamine, then ambient, then layered on top of it a drug that INCREASES dopamine!!! I sound like a Midwestern mom reading it

@bryanrbeal I used to track 501c3 activists and money and I would bet $1MM that a lot of the anti-AI/data center stuff tracks back to China.

A priest says that he got Jeffrey Dahmer to believe in God before he died.
Asked if this would get Dahmer into Heaven, the priest said, "No. But it was fun to make him think so."

@LoganDobson He's been in the national spotlight since 16 yo, was expected to surpass MJ, and doesn't have a single blackmrk on his public image (The Decision and being corny doesn't count).

Dude doesn't even have a "controversies" page on his wikipedia. I don't love his politics and others can debate where his skills rate all time, but he seems like a real role model for a lot of kids.

LeBron's teenage mother struggled to find steady work and a stable home, leading them to move a dozen times in three years. By the age of nine, he moved in with the family of a local football coach who introduced him to basketball. @KingJames would go on to earn a variety of achievements, including becoming the first active NBA player to earn billionaire status. He's minted a spot on the #Forbes250 list of the Greatest Living Self-Made Americans. forbes.com/sites/alexknap… 📸: David Berding via Getty Images
