Great piece by Leslie Stahl and @60minutes.bsky.social on the shipbuilding crisis. My book Launching Liberty tells the story of the greatest emergency shipbuilding program in US history. 13,000 ships in for years. It was #WorldWarII The Liberty ships were the linchpin of the program. a.co/d/03kkV4cR

Totally agree. I just meant that what the Celtics did was so impressive, losing their best player but barely losing a beat.

The #NBA #CadeCunningham news stinks, but my perspective on this has changed @chadfinn.bsky.social. I used to think when a team lost its star, it meant they were toast, done! After seeing the #Celtics respond w/o Tatum, I have less sympathy. Role players, coaches, have to step up. It can be done.

Delighted to share Lana Medina’s review of #ContentConfusion in News Research Journal. Thx to Ava Sirrah & @dougmost.bsky.social for on‑the‑record insights (& to another source off the record). Their perspectives helped shape the book. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... ⬇️

is Casas maybe an ideal DH (if healthy obviously). Lefty, strong, slow. Isn't that the definition of Boston DH?

For all of you @mbta.com Green Line riders cursing the closures and delays from a 130-year old piece of equipment, know your T’s history. Read this book. (A nice gift too)

Last Celtics observation. The Pacers lost their star to Achilles injury and traded their center and point guard and are 6-18. Boston lost it star and traded 3 terrific players. And is 15-9. That’s impressive.

Oh of course. I predicted this. I saw Walsh coming. Mazz coach of the year! I also just sold my Crypto for 10 mill. Need to borrow my crystal ball?

Poor @chadfinn.bsky.social ! You probably saw that 20 point #Celtics lead disappear and thought, “That’s what I’m talking about!!” No tanking. How can you not really like this team!
