    “How often do men think about ancient Rome?”—Headline in the Washington Post. Each week, Man Magazine asks an ordinary man to keep a diary of a typical day. Here is our latest installment. 7:30 A.M.—My alarm sounds. I grab my phone and glance at the news. Congress is debating the Pentagon’s budget today, and I am reminded that spending on costly military ventures contributed to the Roman Empire’s economic collapse. 8:30 A.M.—I hop on the L train for my commute to work.

    To our valued Worldcoin community:Well, it happened. We lost your eyeballs. As you’ve probably heard by now, an international hacker group recently breached Worldcoin’s servers and was able to access much of our user data, including eyeball scans. First and foremost, we offer our sincerest apologies to you, our users. When you heard the words “eyeball-I.D. startup that also does crypto,” you thought, That’s a group I can trust, and we failed to live up to that trust.

Did the Knicks get this far under Thibs because of Thibs or because they also had an elite roster for the first time in ages? I’d argue his limitations as coach will hold them back from their full potential. Gotta make the most of the championship window while you have it.

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. https://t.co/B7w8KhoEcF
