I am currently watching as Elise Stefanik’s pencils roll away from her, then watching as she tries to bring them neatly in line. Could not write a better metaphor for the week if I tried.

If @NYTimesGuild members don't have a deal soon, we’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Pull out a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

NEW: Barstool founder Dave Portnoy had to file for bankruptcy in 2004 with $30,000 in gambling debts. Now, the self-described “degenerate gambler” urges his fans to dive into the fast-growing, lightly regulated world of sports betting. nytimes.com/2022/11/20/busin…

Freestyle skier Oleksandr Abramenko won Ukraine's only medal at the Beijing Olympics. Tonight he sleeps in a Kyiv parking garage with his family. I asked him to take a photo and send it to me. This is him with his wife, Alexandra, and their 2-year-old, Dmitry.

Figure skating scenes right now are like something out of a dystopian novel. Wild emotions, people crying and speaking in all different languages, gold medalist can’t even celebrate, nobody really sure what’s going on, everybody wearing masks.

Elizabeth Holmes and family leave the courthouse. A mob of cameras awaits them on the other side of that gate. No responses to any questions.
