    I spent most of 2024 traveling around the U.S. and Central America hanging out with gamblers, bookies, politicians, even CEOs and casino bosses, trying to learn about sports betting from every perspective. I wrote 10,000 words about it for Rolling Stone.

    Entertained some out of town guests last night. At dinner they told us they refused to take the subway because it was too dangerous. My 9 year old said "What? You mean like if you ride on top?"

    This is incredible. A Wisconsin bar offered free drinks if the Jets lost. After Rodgers went down, they started running up their tabs. The news was live when the jets won in overtime and everyone realized they had to pay.

    Bill DeBlasio did universal pre-k when he was first elected. Critics howled that there was no way to pay for it and it was socialism. Now it is a fact of life in NYC, people love it, and it honestly changed my life. Push these things through and make nyc a better place to live.

    Stayed up last night trying to finish my bathroom floor. Watched a YouTube tutorial in desperation. In the middle of the YouTube the woman gets out her phone and watches a YouTube tutorial.

    My daughter went to a sleepover and told the parents she was a vegetarian and the dad told her they have to kill more animals to make tofu than they do for beef. She asked him how tofu was made and he didn’t know.

    They explained it was because of crime on the subway and he just laughed. "The train is fun." I didn't feel the need to say anything else. They had been effectively owned.
