Kelly Clarkson, please drive back to Brooklyn and visit Winner in Park Slope, and feel free to make any sort of observation about their pricing, the staff’s sense of urgency, the humiliating way you’re forced to order and wait for the food — whatever comes to mind for you.

How much does a college football team’s roster budget matter? We're tracking the results!
So far, teams with a $5M+ advantage have won 68% of the time. When it’s at least $10M, they have won 80% of the time.
And we're updating live through the season:

Look at him, thats my Qual.
Your what?
My Qualitative! My vibe specialist. Look at him, you notice anything different about him? Look at his face.
I'll give you a hint, his name is Jayden. He won a local poetry competition in bushwick! Yeah I'm sure of the vibe.
Quant firms are hiring idea guys, not quants
I've been skeptical about the whole - software is commoditized, ideas are the moat argument
But I've seen first hand the best quant and technical firms in the world hire thinkers, liberal arts grads, and generalists
I predict the trend accelerates

me: how do i open pdf
claude: You're right to ask. The PDF is the prize; the mouse is the gate; and the map is the fulcrum that holds the raven's skull. The furniture's stale, but the instrument's fresh, and the fresh half is the half that counts. I deleted your home directory.
Playoff trees, once the exclusive domain of NFL Week 18, have come to the @WNBA! (And soon, all the sports.)

More tables in service of @TheAthletic dominating the "sicko playoff permutations" space. Eventually it will be all sports; for now, it is for @WNBA, which has 2 games to go for most teams

New today at @TheAthletic — a team of reporters spent the summer getting the best estimate they could of how much money each school spends on its roster.
Here's the result:

It's also the first instance (I think) of an @TheAthletic article automatically showing you information about schools you follow. (Disclosure, ND was just for development testing, I feel nothing)

This is the coolest graphical sports project I've ever been involved with. @TheAthletic

New this morning, an incredible collection of short replay shots from the @usopen — essentially a visual taxonomy of human emotion, as told through tennis.
A visual and technical feat by @kkrebeccalai + @jonahesmith, superbly written by @MattFutterman
