This is so fucking wrong. This should never happen in this country.👇

‘The afternoon started beautifully’ Having covered sports for over two decades, I rarely struggle to find the words to describe what I just saw.

This first-person column by the Woonsocket Call-Pawtucket Times sports editor about being at the Lynch Arena in Pawtucket when the shooting started will grab your heart:

great time for an all time sports tweet

A lot of the stupid and toxic things about the world in which we currently live can be traced back to the philosophy of WIN OR FAIL and it is refreshing to see a legendary world champion caliber athlete tell that entire worldview to go fuck itself

FREEDOM FISH

Adorable ☺️ 🥅 🏒

Norway’s Klaebo wins 9th gold medal in cross-country skiing, setting a Winter Olympics record Norway’s Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo has won a ninth gold medal in cross-country skiing, setting a Winter Games record, at the Milan Cortina Olympics.

BREAKING: Norway’s Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo has won a ninth gold medal in cross-country skiing, setting a Winter Games record.

Turns out “They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists…” was Trump introducing his own administration.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕

(From @andertoon.bsky.social )

This seems to be where most of the reporting is at now: DoD loaned a cutting-edge laser weapon to CBP which apparently mis-used it to shoot down something harmless, and WH is clamping down on official info about it.

My Q: why is the Pentagon ‘loaning’ cutting edge weapons to Border Patrol?

E-Bikes seem to actually be doing that a bit. Segway was/is dumb

NBC says Super Bowl LX is the second most-watched all-time with an average of 124.9 million viewers. (Chiefs-Eagles last year is No. 1.) Peaked at 137.8 million. The halftime show featuring Bad Bunny averaged 128.2 million. Somewhere Kid Rock weeps and rhymes “things” with “things” again.

Tomorrow will mark three weeks since Trump said he would announce details of the Greenland deal in two weeks.

Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?

This is a great piece. Loved this anecdote.

NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

oh dear.

It’s weird how the White House can just blame a “staffer” for the racist post as if just any low level flunky can pretend to be the President of the United States at any random time.

Meanwhile, in the federal government’s war on the World’s Greatest University:

It’s nearly impossible to read this passage without blood vessels in your eyes exploding.
This will be the Dred Scott of the modern era.

US athletes cheered in Milan. JD Vance booed loudly when he was shown on screen

I get this, but here's where I'm at:

Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us.
Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.

Booooo

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Political commentator Sue O'Connell says the announcement from border czar Tom Homan is “not a drawdown,” but a “rebranding” that leaves more than three times as many federal agents as Minneapolis police officers.

Will the booing be loud or overwhelmingly loud

you have wonder if the problem was “world,” “facts,” or “books”

This feels personal. 😠
