Donald Trump's 2nd term starts today, after a 2024 race exposed big gaps between the parties + the electorate. And @TheRunUpNYT saw it all! So it was impt to me that several episodes remain non-paywalled for all to access. Here are some that help explain how we got here:. (1/8).

That Spurs haven’t sorted manager situation yet feels absurd. I think squad improvement matters more long term than whether Ange stays or goes but the uncertainty/growing risk of player + fan backlash feels like a bad omen all around. A big Levy summer off to wrong foot.

Notice how there's no active podcasters in the Finals.
From James Dolan . The Roommates Podcast- March 2025. “There were times when (we’ve) sort of reached for that shiny, sparkly object. ‘Maybe this is what we need.’ Especially when things weren’t going well,” he said. “‘Let’s bring in this guy and maybe he’ll turn it all around for.

A big issue in media also! So many journalists trying to be the smartest person on the TL that they don’t produce any work that lasts. An editor told me several years ago “stop giving away ideas for free.” Changed my life.
Michael B. Jordan says Denzel Washington told him to stay offline to avoid overexposing himself to audiences:. “Why would they pay to see you on a weekend if they see you all week for free?”. (Source:

Thibs maximized that roster — looking forward to next years regression so we can have the long overdue convo that Becky Hammon was right abt Brunson.
BREAKING: The New York Knicks are relieving Tom Thibodeau of his duties as head coach, sources tell ESPN. Thibodeau led the Knicks to their first East Finals in 25 years, made playoffs in 4 of 5 years and led Knicks to consecutive 50+ win seasons for first time since the 1990s.

Elon Musk’s legacy is more than chainsaws and reported drug use. It’s using DOGE and the pretense of “government efficiency” to fire thousands of workers and more importantly — pick legal fights about executive authority that will live far beyond his time in government. On

Incredible goal — just as the first one. Grateful to have Luis Enrique back in club football. He’s levels above.

Tyrese Halliburton is an incredible basketball player. I hate the outfits too. But appreciate this run while it’s happening.

Also I meant this earnestly — bc this interview should’ve been done with journalists. TV/Radio/Newspaper who cares, but it’s moment of public accountability particularly considering how few times that group speaks on record — collectively or individually. I also think it speaks.
