My favourite athlete in these games. What a moment.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

I saw a live birthed harbor seal pup for the first time in my life today. I thought it would be horrifying because I have a weak stomach, but it turned to UNGODLY CUTE very fast!

Using this thread for some moments in the minutes after. All shot on my z8, edited on phone for now. 🦭 🦑

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

She’s still better than McEnroe.

Going behind a break right off the bat isn’t a good start. She’s making some good shots though

They deserved to miss that FG after calling that play on 3rd down

Sure, but I think it’s a specific type of rich white family that’s more drawn to hockey (also, I’ve learned to assume the worst about any white male athlete’s politics until they demonstrate otherwise)

Voter file data shows athletes in prominent leagues surrounded by similar politics Voter file data shows that athletes in four of five prominent North American professional sports leagues appear to be embedded in environments dominated by similar political perspectives.

Also, NHL players lean conservative by a large margin www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/202...

What an effort by Potapova though.

This is the sad reality and I’m glad he’s named it and that’s he our PM right now.

Hang it in the Loeuvre

Unbelievable

Hopefully he’ll justify my faith but it’s not looking good so far.

Niners fan who also picked Cobolli in my bracket to make the final. Not having a great time!

Trademarking The CristoBowl in case Oregon wins tomorrow.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

I Lost My Library in a Fire The question before me was whether to begin collecting all over again.

A year ago, Kenneth Turan's collection of some 4,000 books, acquired one by one over decades, turned to smoke and ash in the Palisades fire.

The question, Turan writes, was “whether it made sense, in my late 70s, to begin collecting all over again”:

Video game mode.

Through a year and a half of the expanded playoff, SEC is 3-5 in inter-conference games. All three wins are over auto bid conference champs (Texas beating #18 Clemson and #12 ASU; Ole Miss beating #20 Tulane this year). Sankey deserves every penny he earns for how well he works the refs.

It’s always been a silly dialogue given 1) the small sample size 2) the distorted seeding last year, and 3) how close teams in the top 10 often are. Plus last year UGA was playing with their backup QB. And bye team ASU took favored Texas to OT.

Greatest 2 point conversion in NFL history, the old backwards pass fumble recovered in the end zone

Greg Sankey’s best skill is working the refs.

Yeah. Bama’s not dropping two spots.
