I've been doing this for so long that I didn't know I could still be shocked, but I am *genuinely* stunned how many people are lying about Pretti "interfering" or "obstructing," and how many 2A folks are suddenly framing the right to carry as some implicit threat. Shameful.

As a poker community we are so excited anytime a woman makes a run at the main event. It’s the talk of the community and we all root united for her. The rest of the year if any female says anything or does anything with a few exceptions of the top 5-10 highly (deservedly)

I had the pleasure of meeting Danya at a tournament in Charlotte, and what struck me was how much he cared about having a positive impact on his students. He was such a kind and humble person. Thinking of his family and loved ones 💔

The Naroditsky family shares the sad news of Daniel’s unexpected passing. Daniel was a talented chess player, educator, and beloved member of the chess community. We ask for privacy as the family grieves.

My poker hot take is that bad beat stories aren’t the problem; most poker players are just horrible storytellers 🙃

They told me to try to make a wheel; I have four on my car? 🚙 I think I won a pot by accident that day at @LodgePokerClub. But I thought it seemed fun, so I went home and played micro-stakes online. Now it’s my best game 🤓

The first time I played Big-O was when I was new to poker and thought “Big-O” was a cute name for a NLH tourney. They dealt me my two cards, and then three more 🤔 “This is Big-O.” “…I don’t know what that is.” “5-card Omaha hi-lo.” “I don’t know any of those words either.”

Share a piece of poker lore about yourself ❤️♦️♠️♣️ I’ll start: one time I was playing a cash game with Don Cheadle at the Commerce, and after a series of probably irresponsible but exciting bluffs, he looked at me and said, “I’m just enjoying the show man”.

I, for one, am outraged that transgender mice are eating the neighborhood dogs and cats 😡😿

Just got off the phone with my friend, @NormOrnstein, who explained to me the difference between transgender and transgenic. You see, Trump got a big laugh from the Republicans last night when he said the federal government "spent $8 million to make mice transgender." No, they

The last couple years of writing public about politics has affirmed for me the two most toxic kinds of behavior on the left and right. Both are purity testing, but differently. Here is how it goes: On the left, it’s a purity test of thought. I could agree 85% with a lefty on an

Would bring me so much JOY if we could shift the conversation away from telling people to eat less junk food and instead to eat more foods that make them feel better: poultry, fish, vegetables, fruits. People don't need to be told donuts are bad by a shirtless mad man in Smith's

What was once niche is now mainstream in health discussions: clean eating, resistance training, sprints, avoiding blue light at night, sunrise viewing, phthalate avoidance, meditation, breathwork, cold, heat, creatine, microbiome, peptides, clean water etc. Health is a practice.

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.

Did you know that ALL female chess grandmasters in history are currently living? Chess is one of the oldest games in the world and the first grandmasters were given that title in 1914- over 100 years ago. The first female grandmaster didn’t come til much later… in 1978. Nona

“What’s it like playing poker as a woman?” 🤔 I’ve gotten asked that question a lot, and have also been informed our brains are biologically different… which makes sense. Here are some key differences I could think of, but ladies feel free to add on if I left anything out!
