NEW on Substack: Pass Pro Lab with Lane Johnson. We studied tape against Khalil Mack, Micah Parsons, T.J. Watt, Nick Bosa and others while discussing pass-set choreography, QB landmarks, route concepts and how elite tackles solve problems. One moment that stood out: Lane discussing how an early bull-rush from Abdul Carter reminded him of Micah Parsons and why studying Laremy Tunsil helped simplify his approach. Full film room + video:

"I watched so much tape on these quarterbacks, and I'm just a stupid podcaster! And I saw things on Jaxson Dart's film that made me tell you guys he was going in the first round." That's right, Josh is still hung up on the Browns evaluation of Jaxson Dart after all the time the team spent with the former Ole Miss Rebel. "The Browns went on dates with every single one of these quarterbacks, and Dillon Gabriel is the one they came away saying, 'That's who we want to be in a relationship with.' And then I go out and watch Jaxson Dart making pro-level NFL throws three game into his career."

This Risacher fall is similar to what we saw with Russ pushing Ajay Mitchell after he was in the air. Gillespie got his pass stolen, which can be embarrassing, and it can lead to players wanting to "get the guy back" and not realize how dangerous even a slight push to an airborne player, or a player on one leg moving up into the air, can be. It was also fascinating to hear how each team's announcers analyzed the play, with the Hawks guys recognizing the danger of the slight push while the Suns focus on Risacher hanging on the rim at full speed (they clearly are concerned and feel terrible about the fall). Let's be clear: players cannot be pushing guys like this, even slightly. The offensive player has the advantage, there was NO chance for Gillespie/Russ to prevent the shot, and the risk for severe injury is too great. This doesn't happen hardly at all, but we should never see it happen at any level of basketball, which is why I feel plays like this could merit a penalty after the fact, like a one game suspension.

Right now, Kashawn Aitcheson is dominating juniors the way a top prospect should, but as we all know, the NHL is a whole different animal. The biggest question mark for him is still his skating. He’s improved, but the feet can get a little wide in transition and his mobility will be tested. Gap control, decision making under pressure, and staying disciplined is what separates good junior D from reliable NHLers. When he finally does turn pro, he’s going to take his lumps, high PIMs in juniors have shown that. Pro hockey will force him to channel his snarl without the extra (sometimes boneheaded) penalties. With that said, I wanted to put together a realistic timeline and set tempered expectations for him over the next few seasons. 2026-27: He’s in Hamilton full time. Expect him to log big minutes on the power play, keep producing points at a solid clip (maybe the 30-45 range) and up the physicality that makes fans love him. Defensively, he’ll tighten up with pro coaching, but there will be nights where the game will look too fast and he’s going to get caught. Maybe he’ll get a couple of NHL call ups for injuries, but he’s not forcing his way into the lineup yet. Next season is all about development. 2027-28: I think he could still be splitting time between Hamilton and the #Isles, or he could earn a bottom pair role right away depending on how the blueline shakes out. By the end of this year, I’d expect him to be a regular NHL contributor. 2028-29: My expectation is that he’s now a full time NHLer logging heavy minutes, killing penalties, and giving us roughly 30-40 points, with a ton of hits and blocks. This isn’t a guy who steps in and runs the power play as a rookie, this isn’t Schaefer. No one is. Aitcheson’s path should be a patient one. The Islanders didn’t draft him to rush him, they drafted him to be a long term piece of the future. When it clicks, I think he’s going to be exactly the kind of nasty, productive defenseman we dream of. Just don’t expect it overnight. Development like this rewards patience.

Charles Broskoski believes everything should be personal: your work, your tools, your taste, and perhaps most provocatively, the business you build. I talked to Charles Broskoski about knowing yourself, noticing patterns, casual research, and building a personal business in Are.na. Charles is an artist turned software engineer and co-founder/CEO of Arena: a platform for collecting, connecting, and self-directed learning. Arena is coming up on its 15th anniversary, and Charles hopes it can last another 15 and far beyond. I discovered him through his essay and talk, "Here for the Wrong Reasons", and was struck by his philosophy that who we are is made up of the things we pay attention to, and specifically what we see in them. We discuss that and more: - Why creativity is decision-making and problem-solving - Charles's case for "casual" research - Why skateboarding is a model for being a beginner - How information that inflects you becomes part of who you are - Personal versus performative taste (and why it shouldn't be thought of as a competitive skill) - Creating a typeface to replace Arial that looks (almost) exactly like Arial - Why more creative people should start businesses - Drawing inspiration from a 1,300 year old Japanese hot spring hotel - "The reward is the work. That you get to hang out with your friends and make something cool." - Why Arena wants to fade into the background Timestamps: 0:00 - Opening Highlights 1:21 - Intro: Charles Broskoski 4:00 - Thanks to Notion 5:26 - Start: Creativity as Self-Knowledge and Problem-Solving 13:37 - Self-directed Learning and Casual Research 21:33 - Skateboarding, Being a Beginner, In Defense of Posers 33:26 - Contextual Patterns and Channels 45:54 - Nodal Points, Your Radar, and Careful Attention 1:04:57 - Subjectivity, Self-Knowledge, and Taste 1:15:09 - Performance: Here for Fame and Not Love 1:22:53 - Aspirational Attention 1:29:02 - Designing Generous Tools 1:42:44 - Space in a Product and Fading into the Background 1:50:01 - Why Creatives Should Be Entrepreneurial & Building an Independent Business Online 1:54:11 - Patience, Durability, and Antifragility 1:59:48 - Personal Businesses 2:10:27 - Grab Bag: Authenticity, Bohm Dialogue, Skateboarding, and Keeping Things Personal 2:28:28 - Thanks Again to Notion Dialectic with Jackson Dahl Ep. 40: Charles Broskoski - Everything is Personal - is out now, below and on all platforms.

By continuing to lie and say that I am not an American, saying I was “anti Trump” when it’s well documented that I have been with Trump since day 1 and have always been pro Trump, by lying and saying that I don’t serve America’s interests and by implying that I am a foreign spy who shouldn’t be allowed to have a Pentagon Press pass when I have broken some or the most consequential stories of the year pertaining to the Department of War, yes, Tucker Carlson is 100% trying to incite violence against me. A man was just arrested for plotting to travel to Florida to murder me because he was radicalized online into thinking I am a foreign agent. Investigators told me he was radicalized by PODCAST HOSTS ON THE RIGHT. Tucker needs to stop with his baseless lies. I am an American citizen and I have always been America First and pro-Trump. He and his brother dislike me for one reason and one reason only and we all know what it is. It’s very obvious to everyone who isn’t financially invested in 2028. There are many clips like this one below where Tucker deliberately lies about me and suggests I am a foreign agent with no loyalty to America. He knows these are lies. So why does he keep saying them? JD Vance

GOT7’s Jackson Wang gave a touching speech at his Manila concert, moving fans deeply. "I just want to say that I'm just one of the millions of artists and I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to be here to share my story with you. That's why I repeatedly say thank you. Thank you for coming here. Thank you for taking the time and listening to my story. What I really want to say is "Life is hard" no matter what industry you are in, especially as an entertainment worker. When I have the opportunity to be here with you, I would like to pass on a message that "Life is so hard." And sometimes we all want to be 'perfect', right? Every day we wake up with social media full of a lot of information, many times we get lost, we don't even know that...Many times we just follow what is trending. What others see as interesting But deep down, we may not care at all. I think that "selfishness" is not a bad thing and "Feeling not okay" is okay .... Why do we have to feel Is it okay all the time? Do you understand? Because that's why I always say "Live the magic" Live with everything that happens, whether good or bad. Because all that molds you into who you are today for me, it really makes me grow into #MADEMEAMAN. And I want you to take this message back from my show tonight. Thank you very much.

How Matthew Schaefer Is Bringing Back a Position That Hockey Lost to Time In the early days of hockey, teams iced seven players, not six: a goaltender, two defensemen, three forwards, and a versatile wildcard known as the “Rover.” The Rover had no fixed territory. He roamed freely, jumping into attacks, dropping back to defend, and creating chaos wherever the puck went. By the 1910s, the NHA dropped the position to open the ice, increase speed, and reduce congestion. The NHL followed suit in its 1917-18 inaugural season, and the core role vanished from professional hockey. Over a century later, an 18-year-old rookie defenseman for the #Isles is making a compelling case that the Rover, or his version of it, is making a comeback. Schaefer plays like a forward from the blue line. He is the youngest defenseman in NHL history to reach 20 goals (22 right now), the fourth rookie blueliner to hit that mark, and will surely pass Brian Leetch’s all-time rookie defenseman goal record. The numbers are historic. The aura is revolutionary. On tape, the historical parallel is clear. Unlike standard puck-moving defensemen who activate occasionally, he consistently joins rushes as a full participant, turning 4-on-3 situations into 5-on-3 or 5-on-4 advantages at even strength. His elite four-way skating and pace let him lead or trail rushes, catching defenders flat-footed. In the offensive zone, Schaefer roams with purpose. He walks the blue line with deception, sells passes or low wrist shots, then manipulates release point and trajectory to change angles and wire shots top-shelf like an elite forward. He generates high-danger chances from the point and mid-range at an elite rate among defensemen, ranks top-10 in high-danger and mid-range shots, and leads all blueliners in penalties drawn—opponents constantly hook and trip him. Schaefer activates high and pinches aggressively, creating passing lanes and shooting options. His hockey IQ lets him read when to jump and when to recover, with risk-reward baked into his game. In an era that’s prizing speed, skill, and creativity over rigid structure, rover-like play makes sense. The game now rewards players who blur positional lines. Bobby Orr revolutionized the blue line by functioning as a fourth forward. Schaefer feels like the next evolution: a true rover in a six-player world. The position that died in the 1920s for speed has returned because the game is now fast, skilled, and tactically sophisticated enough to support it. Matthew Schaefer isn’t just scoring goals as a defenseman. He’s rewriting the positional landscape one rush at a time. The rover is back and the Islanders have him wearing #48.

Brian Chesky explains how Airbnb solved the chicken-and-egg problem “Marketplaces are incredibly defensible at scale, and maybe it’s because they’re incredibly hard to start. And the problem is simple - they call it the chicken and egg problem.” As Brian explains, it was tough to bootstrap Airbnb in the beginning because travelers couldn’t book homes if there was no inventory, and homeowners didn’t want to list their homes unless people were going to book them. “We didn’t know what to do for a while .We tried a lot of different things. And I can tell you what worked. Summer of 2008, the press announces that Barack Obama is moving from a 20,000 seat basketball arena to an 80,000 seat football stadium. And we said, that’s our shot. You have 60,000 people that don’t have housing, surely at least a few of them are going to need a place to stay… And so we literally started with local people in Denver. Then we started emailing bloggers. We got the bloggers. Then the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News covered us. Then the local ABC and NBC and CBS affiliates. And then the Wall Street Journal. Then the New York Times and CNN are in our living room… We did that in a matter of three weeks.” Brian continues: “We started these little infernos. You start getting a few users here, a hundred here, fifty there… And we did the same thing with the inauguration. And when you have a hundred people here and there, then you obsessively meet them… Paul Graham, our first investor, said it’s better to have a hundred people love you than a million people kind of like you. And the reason why is it’s really hard to build off of a really wide but shallow base. But with a hundred people, you can find out everything they want… You meet them, you spend a ton of time with them, and once they fall in love with your product, they’ll tell every one of their friends. That’s why [Airbnb] took a really long time to start, but it grew much faster later on.” Video source: Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California (2011)

(Did I mention $1,000 in Codex credits? It's time to build!) Get all access: Why All Access and the Builder Pack This is the best time in history to build something. For a long time, it’s been possible to one-shot impressive demos, but they’d fall flat the minute they hit production. But the release of GPT-5.6-Sol and Fable 5 heralds a new era: Everyone can build, launch, and maintain the software that they’ve always dreamed of. Everyone is a builder now. There’s just one catch: Building with AI is very expensive. (Ask me how I know.) (Alright, I’ll tell you. I accidentally used 2 billion tokens overnight this week on a big GPT-5.6-Sol run. Worth it.) This is unique in the history of technology. For most of the personal computing era, a billionaire and a solo builder could buy essentially the same top-of-the-line Mac. AI changes that: The more tokens you can afford, the more you can make. And we want to make that accessible to more people. That’s why the main feature of our new All Access plan is the Builder Pack: more than $7,000 in credits and discounts on the full stack we use to run Every, from idea to production—Codex, Claude, PostHog, Render, Gemini, FLORA, and more. Early-bird membership is only $500/year for the next 24 hours—and the Codex credits alone are worth $1,000. (I could’ve used it for my overnight run this week.) Now we’re handing it to you. Get all access: Meet the Builder Pack It's got more than $7,000 in offers from 10 of the AI products we use to write, design, build, and run Every 🪨: BUILD - $1,000 in Codex credits plus one month of ChatGPT for business - Twelve months free of Cursor Pro+ - One month free of Claude Max - Three months free of Google AI Pro DESIGN - One year free of Framer Pro - One month free of FLORA © Max HOST - $300 in Render credits IMPROVE - $4,000 in PostHog credits - Six months free of Notion Business - Six months free of AgentMail (YC S25) We rely on these every day, and we tried to put together a package that helps you comprehensively for each part of the process of building and running software in AI.

EXCLUSIVE: 🚨 Thomas Massie’s ex-girlfriend tells me one of the reasons why she decided to go public with her story is because he is taking money from Iranians and the Islamic lobby 🚨 Former Congressional staffer and Thomas Massie’s ex-girlfriend Cyntax Cynthia West tells me Massie’s anti-Israel crusade is riddled with hypocrisy. West said Massie talked to her about his “Iranian connections” and that she became alarmed when she started looking at his donors and saw he was taking so much Islamic money from Iranians. She told me, “When you start looking at Joe Kiani,” West said, referring to the Iranian-born Democrat megadonor, “this is one of Thomas’s big donors.” West said Massie appeared to be receiving money from “pro-Palestinian folks” while publicly attacking Israel. “He’s at this fundraising event,” West said, “and it appears that he is receiving money from these pro-Palestinian folks, and then also tweeting while he’s there, saying, hey, we need to remove all aid and assistance to Israel.” West raised an important question about Thomas Massie’s stance on Israel: “Are you a pay-to-play?” West likened Massie’s views on Israel to selling his soul. West also called out the hypocrisy of Massie railing against pro-Israel influence while benefiting from donors and PAC money connected to Jewish and pro-Israel contributors. “You can’t be like, oh, I don’t want people getting money from AIPAC, while at the same time you’re taking money from the other side,” West said, referring to the Islamic lobby backing Massie with so much money. Massie pretends to be some “America First” isolationist and lectures us about foreign interference while allegedly taking money from Muslim, communist anti-Israel Democrats. “You need to be principled,” West said. But Thomas Massie isn’t principled. He’s a hypocrite and a liar. Release the Massie Files! President Donald J. Trump Speaker Mike Johnson Oversight Committee

CONFRONTED: The $40 Million Dollar "Faith" Shield Why Vivek Won’t Address the Elephant in the Room 🐘🇮🇱 Things got heated at Ohio State University on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, when a student directly challenged Vivek Ramaswamy on the influence of the Israel lobby and the "Israeli lobby problem". 🏛️ The Question: Sovereignty vs. Influence The student, identifying as Brandon, accused Vivek of being "disingenuous" by dismissing concerns about Israel as a "fixation" rather than a real policy issue. He pressed Vivek on: How a candidate for Governor would handle the influence of AIPAC and foreign policy priorities that he claims keep "the average American and European citizen down". Whether the U.S. should continue its current relationship with its biggest ally while domestic sovereignty is at stake. 🛡️ The Response: Vivek avoided the specific critiques of the lobby's influence, instead framing the question as an attack on Judaism: Vivek stated he would not abide the "vilification or the mockery of anyone's faith," comparing the student's critique of the Talmud to the secular left's mockery of Christianity. He called the "laser focusing" on Israel "weird, bizarre" and labeled it as having "anti-Semitic instincts". ❌Why Critics Argue He is Unfit for Office: Rather than answering a question about the Israel Lobby (AIPAC) and its impact on the average American citizen, Vivek pivotally labeled the inquiry as "anti-Semitic" and "bizarre." For many, this is a dangerous precedent for a potential Governor: using identity politics to shield a massive, influential lobby from financial and political scrutiny. Critics contend that quoting the Talmud in the context of specific economic practices (like usury) is a common historical and theological critique, yet Vivek "airlifted" the context to make it a generic religious attack. By doing so, he signaled to voters that he is unwilling to engage in "policy-rich" debates if they touch on sensitive donor interests. Skepticism regarding Vivek’s "genuine" response is fueled by his massive fundraising lead, which is heavily supported by billionaires and PACs with deep ties to established financial and pro-Israel networks. Vivek has raised a historic $19.4 million for his gubernatorial bid, with an additional $23 million sitting in his "Victors not Victims" Super PAC. 💰Pro-Lobby Donors: Super PACs backing Ramaswamy have received millions from high-net-worth financiers like Jeff Yass (who donated $10 million in March 2025 and doubled down with another $10 million recently) and Ross Stevens (who contributed $14 million). These individuals and their associated groups, such as the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), have publicly pressured Vivek to maintain a hardline, aid-heavy stance on Israel, directly contradicting the student's plea for a candidate who puts American citizens first. Ultimately, critics argue that Vivek’s reaction at Ohio State proves he is an establishment operative in "anti-woke" clothing. By silencing the debate on foreign influence under the guise of "faith itself," he has shown that his primary loyalty may lie with the megadonors funding his $40 million+ war chest rather than the sovereignty of the voters he claims to represent. It's NOT "Anti-Semitic" to question the lobby, Vivek Ramaswamy is just using a "faith shield" to protect the establishment. 👇 From: Jake Rattlesnake FOLLOW Him!

Emerging Worlds — A New Series with Marshall Vian Summers Something unprecedented is happening in our world, and most of humanity isn't paying attention. We are facing a convergence of forces — environmental decline, resource depletion, growing instability — at the very moment that humanity is emerging into a larger arena of intelligent life in the universe. These are not separate crises. They are part of one great transition that will define the future of humanity. Emerging Worlds is a forthcoming series featuring Marshall Vian Summers, presenting the full scope of his body of work across a range of subjects that few are willing to address with this level of clarity and sobriety: → Why the world is changing in ways we cannot reverse — and what that demands of us → The reality of contact with non-human intelligence (NHI) and extraterrestrial life and why it's happening now → What the evidence actually reveals about who is in our world, what UAP are, and what they want → The hidden threat to human freedom and self-determination → What life is really like in the universe beyond our borders → The path forward for a humanity that must now grow up — or fail → Why you are here at this time, and what that means This isn't speculation. This isn't entertainment. This is a preparation. Follow and turn on notifications so you don't miss the first episode.

I was in Rocky Mountain House recently for a massive pro Alberta independence rally. Hundreds of people were waving Alberta flags and driving around town, and I found a small group of about seven pro-Canada counter protesters and decided to engage them. One man challenged me. He said that if Alberta independence loses, I should give up. I told him plainly that yes, if we lose, I will respect the will of the voters. Then I asked him the same question back. If Alberta wins, will you accept it? He reluctantly said yes, but the moment I pressed him on what percentage he would accept, he would not even engage with the argument. He would not clearly accept a majority. That tells you a lot. For too many on the pro-Canada side, this is not really about democracy. It is about imposing their will on Albertans who disagree with them, then using shame and fear to pressure us into silence. The second part of his argument was that the independence movement is hurting investment in Alberta. My answer was that Ottawa already did that and we have nothing to loose. For years, federal policy has blocked pipelines, restricted market access, and damaged confidence in Alberta’s future. Then, when Albertans finally start pushing back, we are told that we are the problem. He even claimed there is no tanker ban. That is factually false. Canada’s Oil Tanker Moratorium Act does restrict large crude oil and persistent-oil tankers from stopping, loading, or unloading at ports on BC’s north coast. The details matter, but the broader point stands: Ottawa has put real barriers in the way of Alberta getting its resources to market. His response was basically, if that is true, then why is Alberta still so rich and prosperous? My answer was simple: because we work hard, we have a lot going for us, and it takes a lot to sink us. But that does not prove Canada is working. It proves Alberta is strong enough to keep carrying a country that keeps dragging us down. Canada feels more and more like a sinking ship, and Alberta is the last thing holding it up. That is why I support independence. Please sign the petition. Go to to find a signing location near you.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Epstein 🤝 Israel Here you have ex-Mossad agent, Ben-Menashe, CONFIRM that both Jeffery Epstein and his partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, worked for the government of Israel. Their job? Blackmailing American politicians, hedge fund managers and bank managers. Hedge fund managers and bank managers were top priority as they were the donor class and could have politicians alter policy. Because as we all know, corrupt politicians like nothing more than $$$. Now do you understand why the U.S. is SO pro-Israel? Epstein would also finance universities, primarily targeting their research and experimental development (R&D) sectors. He would do this because often universities would cooperate with the private sector on new science and technology. Epstein would gather this information and give it to Israel. This is why Israel's influence on America is so great. Israel literally used CHILD ABUSE in order to influence both U.S. domestic AND foreign policy. Jeffery Epstein, the world's most infamous PEDOPHILE was a tool used by the Israeli government. Is this REALLY a nation you want to support? Furthermore, a client list complied by Ryan Dawson, (who's researched Epstein and his clients more than anyone) lists 4 former Prime Ministers of Israel. Every name on that list with a flag next to them was once the head of their nation. 4 Prime Ministers of Israel, 1 Prime Minister of the UK, 1 President of the United States. 21 billionaires. Epstein had the world's most powerful people compromised. And ALL of this was so that Israel gained more and more power over some of the world's most influential people. So tell me, Is Israel really a nation YOU want to support?
