I'm curious what KI did to AB's wife. Both of them were world class, if I had to choose one, it would have been Elle, but very little distance between them.

For some reason the mention of Stacey Williams got me thinking about K McD.

I've never met or seen AB's wife, but world class? How'd AB manage that?

Never seen her, but I can't picture AB with anything less than a 9.5

Awesome.

I'm sure I mentioned this before, but my then-girlfriend, who was in advertising, got me a signed copy of the 1989 Swimsuit Edition with KI on the cover.

Which, looking at it now, may be one of the worst pictures of her face. But given that it took me 30 years to even notice ...

Paul Krugman writing about why he left the NY Times:

Departing the New York Times
As many people reading this know, last month I retired from my position as an opinion writer at the New York Times—a job I had done for 25 years. Despite the encomiums issued by the Times, it was not a happy departure. If you check out my Substack, you will see that I have by no means run out of energy or topics to write about. But from my perspective, the nature of my relationship with the Times had degenerated to a point where I couldn’t stay.
