So I just drove to a Portland, ME, bar that hosts Michigan football watch parties. But they don't have NBC Peacock, so after stepping into a puddle I drove back to the hotel. Got it on my computer, but not the same.
I have a lot to say about NBC Peacock - and none of it's good.

I’ve been in attendance at big NBA playoff and Finals games and moments like this at the Drew League are still some of my favorite basketball viewing memories. Insane crowd!

this is why I love working at @VanityFair
yesterday, I saw half our staff clustered around our fashion correspondent's desk poring over this photo. As José puts it, "The image has several discrepancies. The style and make of the Chanel Flap bag is inconsistent with others the brand has sold, and the Valentino shoes in question appear askew in proportion; their straps have several punched holes that the authentic Valentino style does not."
AI image detectors confirmed that yes, Olivia Reingold used an AI-generated image to make her point, without a drop of disclosure. Wild!!!!

Werner Herzog on psychoanalysis: “If you harshly light every last corner of a house, the house will be uninhabitable. It’s like that with your soul.”
Only Herzog could make a metaphor about darkness sound this profound.

Your local sports team should be on local TV. My grandpa who has been a fan since the team’s inception doesn’t have DAZN, won’t get DAZN, and wouldn’t even know how to work it if he did. That’s before you even consider the added cost of it. It’s a total joke.

🚨 'PARAMOUNT EMBARRASSED BY GARCIA-BENN NUMBERS'
👀 Dan Rafael on Zuffa Boxing: "I don't think anybody expected them to do big numbers off the bat. But I do think people expected them — including Paramount executives themselves — that when they brought a fight like Ryan Garcia-Conor Benn to Paramount and they had paid Conor Benn astronomical money for his first fight of his agreement to be on an undercard that was on Netflix and then to come and have a big main event on Paramount with Ryan, they had expectation to get some big bang for their buck and it was very telling that they did not announce any numbers for that. ... They were embarrassed by the numbers I'm sure for that fight. And it's cost them a lot of money."

very lively and fun new episode of @ttsgpod with Thomas Frank. @Tyler_A_Harper and I talk to him about his new book THE CREATIVITY CON. A whole lot of talk about the construction of the "creative class," his time starting the Baffler Magazine, and Obama. goodbye.substack.com/p/the-c…

At halftime of #Warriors-Lakers last week, a fan paid for a man's beer, thinking he was Steve Kerr. He was not.
Meet Steve Gillis (yes, Steve), the Kerr doppleganger who went viral. He's been dealing w/this since '98.
He swears he doesn't play into it:
