All professional sports should steam for free on YouTube, but that’s just the beginning. Leagues need to open their games to a Creative Commons license, allowing creators to live stream the games with their own commentary and edit the footage into whatever they want.
My dad is 75 and lives in Iowa. He got the MLB Extra Innings package to watch the Tigers again this year - something he plans his whole day around. Tonight, Detroit (664 miles from his house) hosted Milwaukee (360 miles from his house). Couldn't watch. Blacked out. (1/2)

Hey @RobertKennedyJr @SecKennedy Given, you’re part of this administration, perhaps you can put your environmental advocacy to use…

What is the altitude of the lowest point you can see from here?
View from the highest point on Earth. This is the closest a human can get to space while still touching the ground. From here, the Earth ceases to be a landscape and starts to look like what it actually is.

Happy Match Day! I’m wishing much luck and success to all our amazing medical students across New York and the country as they find out where they will train for residency. Ā  Doctors are the best of us, and that’s why I was so proud to get the largest expansion of residency slots back in 2021 with help from the great @RealDoctorMike,Ā and continue to support the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act to add 14,000 residency training slots across the country. Ā  Good luck to all of you as you begin your careers!Ā #Match2026

Mikhail Varshavski, People’s ā€œsexiest doctor,ā€ has a medical degree—and millions of fans on YouTube, where he debunks R.F.K., Jr., interviews Kamala Harris, and analyzes ā€œThe Pitt.ā€ Andrew Trunsky writes. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

I played high school football against MLB player Joc Pederson. I watched one film session of him I thought ā€œthat’s the most athletic kid I’ve ever seen in my entire lifeā€. It was instantly obvious he was built differently. And to think football wasn’t even his best sport.
Pro athletes are literally built differently. I went to high school with 2 successful MLB pitchers. Craziest story came from freshman year: During tryouts, one of the tests they had us do was to see how far we could throw a baseball. We walked out to the football practice field and lined up in the end zone. I threw 60-65 yards. Then a kid (the future pro) threw a ball out of the other end zone. As. A. Freshman. Every coach stopped what they were doing, handed him another ball and said ā€œdo it againā€. And he did. By sophomore year he was throwing in the mid to upper 90’s. You cannot teach that kind of arm talent. You’re either born with it or you’re not. I was not.

Hey @RyanReynoldsNFL, can we get a way-too-early MVP award article? Looking to tie up some money I’ll almost certainly lose 355 days from now.

Some seriously tangible advice here. It’s a shame to see so many legacy media models crumble and know so many talented veterans are out of work, but the opportunity to reinvent your approach in sports media, or any other form of media for that matter, is right in front of us.
Feel for all the sports reporters out of work. I was a journalism major in college, started my "career" wanting to be a NBA beat reporter. Loved and still love actual newspapers. Putting this out there: If you start a site that investigates and answers the questions people with actual money on the line want to know, we will pay you actual money. In other words, no one cares about "3 keys to Sunday's game" or that "X player is in the best shape of his life." But a ton of people are willing to pay for "In practice this week, Rhamondre rotated more with TreVeyon than he did ahead of the AFCCG." Or "Elijah Arroyo again was behind Saubert and Kallerup in TE drills this week." (no idea if these are true, just examples) Maybe it's a dumb idea, maybe it's not possible, maybe I'm alone in willing to pay a lot for this. But if looking for a financial model that works in sports journalism, I'd be looking to serve the people with financial incentives.

Recently @DocAmen scanned @KimKardashian brain using SPECT & I had to ask why the medical community does not recommend these scans to make psychiatric diagnoses. šŸ™šŸ¼šŸ§  Check out the full conversation on The Checkup Podcast šŸŽ™ļø

Just a friendly reminder this NFL season, if you haven't already, to block Dov Kleiman. The guy is literally a professional troll. Trying to monetize outrage.

Did you listen to the actual answer or did you think writing something he didn’t say would get more engagement? Now that you can’t post random training camp clips out of context to get engagement you’ve resorted to this?

When I saw that Doctor Mike donated $10,000 to the gofundme to help save my practice, I cried happy tears. Who does that?! It was such an honor to be on Dr. Mike’s podcast @thecheckuppodcast. His whole crew is the real deal—every bit as kind and genuine as you’d hope. They welcomed me with open arms, gave me space to share more of my story, offered great advice, and reminded me I’m not alone. If you haven’t listened yet, I hope you will. Being embraced by this community means more than I can say. Thank you, Doctor Mike, for everything 🩵 So… who does that? Great doctors who see me taking the hit for all of us… and want me to keep going. If you haven’t stepped up to donate…now is the time. gofundme.com/f/stand-with-a-…
