Tonight should be one of the most widely-watched baseball games of the 21st century. Probably #1 if I had to guess, but precision’s not my business so who knows. It creates such a unique experience for literally everyone. We’ll be watching so I’ll focus on that perspective. But it certainly applies to the players, staff, umpires and everyone in between. There’s pressure behind every pitch. A leadoff walk is gonna send you to one side of the spectrum....

British aerospace company Rolls-Royce believes it has a solution to this conundrum: nuclear micro-reactors. The UK Space Agency (UKSA) seems to agree. It announced last week 2.9m of funding for Rolls-Royces lunar micro-reactor project. This follows a 249,000 study funded by the agency last year. 40% off TNW Conference! Space exploration is the ultimate laboratory for technologies we need on Earth. However, commercial viability is still a long way off....

It’s a beautiful 84 degree day, the sun in shining and there’s sand between your toes. You’re wearing your brand new $400 Derek Rose Maui 52 Swim Shorts. Not Derek Rose the basketball player. Derek Rose the designer. You thought Derek Rose the basketball player had an expensive line of swim trunks. But now that you know it’s the other Derek Rose, you like them even more. When people ask, “Hey where is that swimsuit from?...

And my answer is always the same. Either way, he defeats the aging process and this run keeps going. That’s how I choose to deal with mortality, and it serves me well. you might pick whatever method suits you. Belichick is now 19 wins from breaking Don Shula’s all time record. Though allowing for a slight margin of error, we’re likely looking at 2024. We can play that game. If for no reason other than an intellectual exercise....

I’m not going to talk about any of that. 19 year old tennis superstar Carlos Alcaraz returned to stardom and regained his number one ranking in the world. Carlos Alcaraz made Medvedev look like he was an amateur playing in his first ever pro circuit tournament. It was a dismantlement in every way and it was stunning. I liked Carlos to win the match, but not like that. It was genuinely shocking how much better he was....

Good day, y’all. I’m planning to do these roughly once a quarter, and they’re always good fun. So, let’s get into it. For most surprising, I’ll go with Rickie Fowler. As for most upsetting, I’ll go with Justin Thomas. As such, he’s dropped to No. 10 in the world rankings and sits at No. 60 in the FedEx Cup. Will we see a LIV player jump back to the PGA Tour this year?...

This morning I woke up and checked twitter like I typically do. For a vast majority of the American population, we waited and watched for the invasion. Most of us hoped for it. Saddam was the ring leader of it all. His face was nearly -if not more - hated by all Americans than Osama Bin Laden. When his statue came down, people all across the globe cheered. The citizens in the streets cheered....

2022 proved to be filled with ups and downs for the global tourism sector. Then, as regulations eased, revenge travel kicked in bringing with it a sudden flood of tourists. Yet, many businesses struggled to accommodate this surge in demand with fewer resources. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. So what kind of technologies can support company culture driven retreats? Extended reality is a growing tech trend which we alreadyreported on last year....

I literally titled yesterday’s blog with it. So how to they repay me? That’s cool……if it were December. Unfortunately, last time I checked, we’re in the back half of March. Teams around them are winning. Given the context around this game, collapses like this simply cannot happen. What about 19 and 28? The Celts are 51-21 in that scenario, and in a very different position than they are now. When you blow these types of leads this late in the season, there are actual ramifications....

Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out. I’m running out of thoughts. I just have a big ol' empty brain. Oftentimes when scrolling through Twitter I think, “Damn I should really tweet something.” But everything seems so fucking stupid. Sure I could tweet about my new water bottle. Something like, “I just got a brand new water bottle and I LOVE IT!” But nobody cares about that. Sure, it’s a great water bottle....

I had to work Bill Raftery in here somehow. Today’s the day. Raft is college basketball. I simply don’t understand how people don’t like him. The man likes to have a couple drinks at night. He’s one of the most prepared guys in the game. He knows what’s going on and he’s entertaining as hell. It also just makes me upset to listen to NCAA Tournament games without him now....
