"Every writer I know has trouble writing." Joseph Heller, born this day. Oddly, that's rather comforting.
"I would advise anyone who aspires to a writing career, that before developing his talent he would be wise to develop a thick hide." Harper Lee, born this day. Ain't that the truth.
Nothing inspires confidence before a flight quite like flight attendants moving passengers “to balance out the plane.”
Great piece by the inimitable @petermrugg detailing his new magazine, his $1000 crypto gamble, and even a dangerous run-in with the NYC subway tracks: Seizing the Memes of Production by @heistmagnft link.medium.com/M6MeDgkqitb
The first question they should ask at job interviews is “Do you now, or have you ever, run a twitter account that makes fake fight posters for hypothetical matches?” and if the answer is “yes” the floor immediately opens up and the person falls into the mouth of an active volcano
This isn't going to work if he ever fights Najee Lopez.

Carl Weathers didn't just look the part of a heavyweight champion in the 1970s (seriously, his stick-and-move was nice) but he captured the personality and spirit of a Muhammad Ali. The 'Rocky' franchise wouldn't have been the same without him...

Shakur Stevenson career highlights
The lights in the theater go down, Citizen Kane is about to start, just then a drunk Jennifer Lopez runs in shouting “who wants to see Gigli part 2 instead?!”

"Don't loaf and invite inspiration; light out after it with a club, and if you don't get it, you will nonetheless get something that looks remarkably like it." Jack London, born this day. Ain't that the truth?
Wilder is the Ricky Vaughn of boxing. It’s either an unhittable 105 mph fastball down the middle or a wild pitch that takes out a hot dog vendor 20 rows back. No in between

"Don't say it was 'delightful'; make us say 'delightful' when we've read the description." C.S. Lewis, born this day. How do this? When it comes to descriptions, aim for accuracy. Let the image give you the words and then be inventive as you like. But be truthful to the image.
Sports Illustrated has been publishing stories written by AI — and attributing them to writers that don't exist. Profiles for fake authors used AI-generated headshots and made-up bios. When asked about it, all content was deleted. (h/t @futurism)
Yes, Jake Paul has done something most “real” boxers could never even dream of: lose to Tommy Fury

It’s an underreported story how Japan produces so many fighters who win world titles in under 10 pro fights. And it’s not because all of them are strawweights. Bantamweight for instance has a pretty strong talent pool around the world. They are doing something better than others.
So great to see today's @latimes print edition showcase @xavierjohnm's Column One on his grandfather's time as a farmworker. A moving, inspiring read. Grab the paper or read it online: latimes.com/world-nation/s… enewspaper.latimes.com/desktop/latime… -
@urso_william Yeah my thing is that at any given moment, KAT will be in foul trouble and Gobert gives you nothing offensively. Ant is somehow everyone's big brother at 23.
@snboxing Bud's knockout streak at welterweight really is quite underrated......
@urso_william I’d lean towards Benavidez too, especially the longer it takes to happen. But doubtful it ever does tbh.

Red Sox got a guy in a turtleneck throwing nothing but 86mph junk balls. Baseball is back.
Maybe I’m being dramatic but local TV news outlets doing this on social media drives me insane. Eye-catching headline about an incident that you’ll only learn after clicking actually took place a thousand miles away from Nashville.

@byrd_007 Benavidez is a light heavyweight now.
Seeing some of the shitty takes on Garcia-Haney and just lack of ability to apply sound logic, it makes me question whether trying to produce fair, honest work is a pointless endeavor...Maybe I should just do CONTENT for clicks and engagement....
@RatCatcherMpls Washed up Linares had him on Queer Street
García still dangerous. Imagine if he allowed Eddy Reynoso, Joe Goossen and Derrick James to do their jobs in all those training camps. He would be a more complete fighter instead of just flashes of explosive offense
@snboxing I think it's a relevant argument when it's actually applicable. In this fight, it doesn't make sense. Haney just didn't have a good gameplan. They fought 6 times in amateurs. They knew eachother. Ryan felt comfortable against him & knew how to get under his skin too
@urso_william I honestly could not believe he kept getting hit with it. It was like a video game glitch
If every fight ended the way we thought it would this stupid sport would get boring pretty quick. Psychotically unpredictable outcomes are one of the few fun things left about boxing
