Not surprised—it’s a great album! 🎶
Alan Jacobs on your lies, and mine:
In any given community, there will be a profound divide between those who believe that the most dangerous lies are the ones told by our enemies and those who believe that the most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves.

Despite EA & crypto, we're still living in the Victorians' world 🔗💰📚
Derek Thompson’s short, pensive essay on his own entanglement with effective altruism (EA) and Sam Bankman-Fried leaves off before getting to a problem that enabled both, a problem with the Internet in general: we humans just seem to be at our best when operating locally, in-person. Just as crypto’s promise of “trust in a trustless world” struck many as ridiculous, so too EA has been ridiculed for its impersonal approach to altruism.
Excited for 🇧🇪-🇨🇦. I spent 90 terrifying minutes several years ago watching Alphonso Davies tear apart #MNUFC at TCF Bank Stadium. I’d love to see Canada get a victory today. ⚽️
So far, this World Cup suggests that it might not be quite the disaster I expected to expand to 48 teams. Many of these smaller and lower-ranked teams can more than keep up—and their fans are showing up in a big way. ⚽️
Jacqui Oakley and Warren Barton are hands-down the best commentators in this Fox squad for the World Cup. They’re, you know, insightful on each team’s players & tactics. They were great yesterday for 🇩🇰 – 🇹🇳 & they are equally good this morning for 🇲🇦 – 🇭🇷. ⚽️
I’ve loved Argentina since I studied abroad there in 2005. That’s a crushing defeat. But huge credit to Saudi Arabia—they were excellent. Terrible passing in the final third for Argentina; incredible performance defensively by the Saudis. ⚽️
¡Vamos Argentina! 🇦🇷⚽️
Halfway through 🇺🇸- 🏴, I’m thrilled. We’re playing great; creating some good chances. I’m especially impressed by Musah, Sargent, Jedi, and Ream. Beautifully taken goal by Weah. Let’s go! ⚽️
My heart-over-head bracket. Really had to get speculative to get the final I wanted… 🇧🇷- 🇦🇷 ⚽️
