Let’s get right to it:

So mad I didn’t write this. (Dr. Leif Weatherby)

Jason Crow. So hot right now. Jason Crow. (New York Times)

An ode to the under-appreciated honesty of Divorce Song. (Dan Solomon)

Sapiosexuals should probably not listen to Kara Swisher’s discussion with Renée DiResta at work. So smart. If the latter’s name sounds familiar, it’s because I wrote about her work twice in June.

“If Tim Walz is America’s Dad, these are America’s other family members” is the clickbaitiest headline ever. (McSweeny’s)

Coach Walz would not be the first former football coach elected on a presidential ticket. (Washington Post)

Speaking of Coach Walz, he passes muster with the writer who coined the phrase “Friday night lights.” (Buzz Bissinger)

Shepard Fairey, the artist who made the “Hope” poster for Barack Obama, made a poster for Kamala Harris. I mentioned his recent work in an essay on disinformation.

To become better hitting coaches, these guys challenged each other to become better pitchers. (Maximizing Playoff Odds)

Finding life on Mars should take priority over returning humans to the moon. (Neel Patel)

Fascinating to me that this is news for Gen Z.

Just take my Gen X money.
