The Knicks only beat the Celtics if they’re down 20 first so I’m not worried

A pardon in the United States in 2025? That'll cost you $1 million. "It’s signed," Trump told one executive who'd been convicted of fraud. "You’re cleaner than a baby’s bottom, you’re cleaner than I am." The goods from @avabmorrison and @bill_allison https://t.co/VOlVIqmiuj

An investigation by @zachmider and @ZekeFaux is self-recommending, but if it's about a former TV comedy writer with a loophole that could ruin Obamacare, and there's a gift link, you have to click https://t.co/jKnoqhW5yf

I was born in 84, and there's a fair argument to make that OG's and-1 dunk in overtime, giving the Knicks a lead over the Celtics that we wouldn't give up, is the single best Knicks dunk in my lifetime. And this is from a guy who made a zine about the Starks dunk over Jordan!

Well folks it’s time to finally put these on again. First time since ‘01. Fit like a charm! https://t.co/Y47DjO0UkW

My favorite song of the year is CALIFORNIA GOTHIC by @pizzaguymusic. Those background harmonies toward the end? That's me and my wife Liza. Listen to this new record, Deposition, because it's beautiful and Velvet-y and we're all just passing by https://t.co/X3akamwVK4

Our own correspondent is sorry to tell of an uneasy time, that all is not well. On the borders there's movement, in the hills there is trouble. Food is short. Crime is double.

I was deeply moved by @bartov_omer's piece about Gaza -- which is to say that I found it enlightening and upsetting in equal measure. It's another reason why you should subscribe to the @nybooks if you haven't https://t.co/GgTyWTjb6f

My colleague Josh Saul has some of the best vibes -- friendly, honest, diligent -- in this newsroom. He's also the only reporter I know who can make you see data centers as fascinating and important. Watch his new @bbgoriginals doc! https://t.co/AWuOeyC6G7

If you happen to be looking for records this springtime in New York, might I recommend Academy on 18th Street. Charles at the desk in front is one of America’s foremost grumps, and the shop has enough pristine Bach box sets to stir every soul in Manhattan

Here's a gift link to a big, important and grim new story by @SheridanAsia, @BenoitBerthelot and @gaspardsebag with @etinosa_yvonne's photographs. I hadn't heard of Socfin, Vincent Bolloré or Hubert Fabri, and those names are going to stick with me https://t.co/bmBjGO7FKA

What a lovely piece by @amandapetrusich on Phish. Like most of the journalism (and the music?) that I'm drawn to, it goes with the flow. Reading it reminds me that practiced tightness allows for the best kind of informal looseness, if you're lucky https://t.co/7Tzw4W7nP5
