New year, new me. Prior to Thanksgiving, I was hovering around 190 pounds. Checked in this morning at a solid 192.6 butt ass naked. That said, “Operation Lose 10 Pounds” is in full effect. I’m also ready for baseball. Gone are the days of the aborted fetus that was the 2022 season. Football is dead as a doornail in Chicago. Figured let’s do a little mailbag to ring in the new season....
I made the regrettable decision to hit the weed pen before I started writing this. Every time I smoke I turn so unbelievably dumb and anxious. It just took me 30 minutes to craft these 4 sentences because my brain does not work on weed. But I’m going to power through. One GIF at a time. By the way we’re doing asses today. I thought it would be funny to film everyone at the party freaking out while I had the remote....
The calendar has flipped over to 2023. And that’s the fact thatConnor Bedard (2023 Eligible)has been making this tournament his bitch. The next closest in the tournament is his teammate Logan Stankoven, who has 8 points. Bedard has scored the most career goals by a Canadian at the World Juniors. He’s tied for the most points scored by a Canadian in a single WJC tournament. Ever heard of ‘em? Now the other story of the 2023 World Juniors so far has been parity and some pretty big upsets....
The European Union is on a mission to curb the power of bigtech. Yet critics say the rules have been ineffective. Analysts claimthe legislation has failed to protect competition, while giving companiesroutes to avoid enforcement. In 2023, the bloc has grand ambitions to change that. A key component of the plans is the new Digital Markets Act (DMA). In May 2023, the new rules will start to apply. The act is the cornerstone of two complementary objectives for the EU: reducing big techs dominance and fosteringEuropeanchallengers....
(Disclaimer- this is a long blog. Turn back now if you don’t like lots of words.) Nate covered it three days ago, when news broke that Southwest was canceling 70% of its flights. And like millions of other Americans, I dealt with it firsthand yesterday. Actually, all week. I was back home in Massachusetts for Christmas with my family. I had no problems getting there, I flew southwest from Midway to Logan last Thursday....
A day into a new year. In fact, if they win next week they’re in. But still, that fact alone feels like a triumph in this bizarrely dysfunctional season. These games aren’t enjoyed; they’re stomached. One that doesn’t involve a crazy lateral or red zone fumble. But once again, their vital signs showed improvement. They woke from the coma. Which I guess is all we could reasonably hope for. Without them, the field was aStratego boardwhere every piece Miami moved had more points....
For this we remain grateful. We’re coming to you after a little winter sojourn to rest and recharge the batteries. That’s LIV-level dough. I still can’t get over how no one could walk at that PNC event, by the way. So let’s dive in. Can Collin Morikawa have a bounce-back season this year? Connor OstrowskiDoes Spieth win a major this year? And if so, which one? Luke ScottDoes Rickie finish this year inside the top 50 of OWGR?...
Welcome to 2023 everybody. Last night was gross. When you do, results like this happen. In some ways the Celts began 2023 getting a taste of their own medicine. Perhaps this is just all part of the championship journey like NBA history suggests. We see them pretty much in every one of the Celts 11 losses. This isn’t a one off throw in game for Jaylen either which is nice to see....
Talk about a complete team win and a full-on ass kicking against the fraud Vikings. I think that game single handedly cured my hangover. Holy moly what a performance. First and foremost Joe Barry and this defense deserve a ton of praise and then some. Right out of the gates they were handed a one yard field following the block punt. They stood strong and didn’t let Minnesota have an inch....
Despite humanitys best efforts, we made it through 2022. Here at Neural, that means recounting our favorite stories from the past 12 months.

Few could have predicted the economic and geopolitical landscape that confronted the mobility sector in 2022. This has led to companies scrambling to wean themselves off Russian oil. France hasbanned short-haul domestic flights, reducing the cost of rail tickets along the way. Well likely see more countries investing in public transport to reduce citizens reliance on gas. 40% off TNW Conference! According to CEO Laurin Hahn, the company will begin fulfilling pre-orders within the EU after that....
