With the left attempting to regain ground with young men, a prominent Democratic Party operative is brokering five figure contracts with fitness influencers to create online content that espouses “leftist values.”

For @MSNOWNews, I wrote about the UFC White House card
Despite all the bombastic claims from both President Trump and UFC CEO Dana White that this was to be a celebration of America, last night was really a celebration of the fruits of their alliance.

Genuinely emotional watching Haiti play again in the World Cup. No nation has been so thoroughly & repeatedly spat on and humiliated by the Western world for the crime of demanding its own freedom and self-determination as them. Seeing them back on the global stage is incredible.

Anduril, the UFC’s new (and highly controversial) defense tech partner, wants to transform warfare & surveillance with AI—and host military-themed boxing events in the process.

On this weeks episode of SuperHuman, I dove into the rapid mainstreaming of PED’s in recent years
Hear me talk with a grey market peptide user, a doctor who specializes in treating steroid abusers, and a 19 year old bodybuilder who’s already using TRT.

Arguing about what makes you a New Yorker is fine imo but you’re a fool if you think it’s a moral distinction. I love this city so much but it has produced some of the most wretched souls to ever walk the earth, including the president of the United States

Harriet says “come to the Golden Goal launch party at Threes Brewing on June 11” eventbrite.com/d/ny--new-yor…
CJR included our World Cup magazine @goldengoalmag in a great report on how news outlets are approaching the politics of the tournament. We all do what we can but the star of the show is clearly @alex_shephard’s dog Harriet

Why do so many of my colleagues in media resent sports so much?

I also like tennis ... but are we really at the point that 70% above the fold WSJ is someone losing in the second round?

increasingly believe that in the next few years, a huge chasm will open between writers who are familiar with their own work can explain the intent and process of construction for what it says and why — and those that clearly cannot.
i know i keep harping on this but this is genuinely insane to me. using an AI to outline your work for you as if outlining isnt half the work of writing. nasty nasty nasty

New: I chatted with Nick Bilton about taking over 60 Minutes. I asked him if he was intimidated by becoming executive producer of the show despite having no broadcasting news experience.
"It's not the slightest bit intimidating," he told me.
