I'm so sorry to hear this :( You were clearly such a great doggy parent and I can only imagine how much this hurts.

Given how bad things were going before, might as well go bananas young!

I have to go to work and this is not my cat.

John Lynch’s AI comments about the NFL Draft are about to get really overblown It’s gonna be a looooong draft week after these comments.

Made a rare return to the NN front page with quick thoughts about what will probably become a viral comment this week.

In re-watching that video, I think "you don't need to be an expert" is more about being an expert in AI, not about being an expert about the draft.

Congrats to the 49ers on drafting Cameron Boozer later this week.

Huzzah!

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

never before has a police report helped a player's draft stock

Even if you're not in the DC area, it's worth signing up for this newsletter. The stories about homelessness and housing are applicable everywhere!

Honestly, I'm surprised she's only now starting a clothing line.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Beshear's staff apparently is it?

This is the first time I've thought about Eric Byrnes in a looooong time. I did not need to think about Eric Byrnes again.

I appreciate that he thought I was a lot younger than I was! He was talking about young folks thinking NBA history started in 2000 and was including me in that group. I was like, dude, I was around for Bird vs. Magic!

I had a fun conversation with Jeff at the Street Sense office this week. He wrote this fun article about Jordan vs. LeBron in the GOAT conversation. He loves sports, but turns out he'd rather be writing a column about fishing!

Such sad news. That Angels outfield of him, Erstad, and Salmon was always so memorable.
