Last summer, the PGA Tour did the Right Thing. As news emerged of LIV Golf, an upstart global golf tour funded by the Saudi Arabian government's Public Investment Fund, Commissioner Jay Monahan made it clear his Tour wouldn't associate itself with the Saudis' ongoing mission to sportswash. Plus, he wouldn't allow any pro who furthered that mission by joining LIV to play on the PGA Tour again. It was a firm stance, and even if it was mostly motivated by ego, the Tour was always going to have the easiest route to coming out as the "good guy" in all of it. Today's announcement of a PGA Tour and LIV Golf merger changed that—and exposed a good deal of hypocrisy along with it. |

There's a lot of talk about "lanes" in the Republican primary process, which is accelerating in a dismal fashion this week. New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu has taken himself out of the race, but, yes, we will have to confront another campaign from Chris Christie, Big Chicken having decided that the national memory does not extend back to how El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago used to send him for sandwiches. Reportedly. It probably is impolite for a number of reasons to mention "lanes" to Christie. Anyway, there's only one lane in this race, and it is the crazy lane, also known as the cruel lane, the idiot lane, or inhumane lane. The object of the pursuit is to get the former president* to move to one side of the lane to the other, so there's just enough room for one of the others to squeeze through without leaving the crazy lane and being disqualified by the judges at home, watching Fox News, Newsmax, and Right Side Broadcasting. Speaking at yet another ill-starred CNN town hall, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley made a bold move on Monday to clear space to the right of the alleged frontrunner. |

The computer has a mouse. A phone or tablet requires your thumb or a stylus. But Apple's new Vision Pro? It just needs you. Controlled by your eyes, voice, and subtle hand movements, it's gonna change the way we interact with content, and each other. After much speculation about the new launch while packed inside Apple Park's first in-house WWDC at the spaceship, Tim Cook finally showed off the long awaited augmented reality device. In short, Vision Pro is far better than everything else in its class (with a price worthy of that slot at $3,499) and it knocks Meta's Oculus off the map. Within two hours of the news launching, I tried one myself. |
