Gabriel Diallo had a set point against Jannik Sinner, bombed in a big serve ... and watched the return come rocketing back at his toes. The Canadian acquitted himself very well, but Sinner is the undisputed no. 1 for a reason.

I mean, that wasn't even a sprint, that was a warm-up jog. Skip the donuts, fascists.

You watch, he'll now act tough with a smaller country -- Canada, for example -- to try to prove that he's not a gutless bully. Which of course he is.

A figurative Shawinigan Handshake.

NPR: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn't vote

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?

Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

I'm impressed that he appears to be sauntering and yet still outrunning law enforcement.

Yes. I understand the OP's point -- no objective Canadian media should be running Netanyahu's justifications for his war crimes and genocide, at least not without positioning them as such. But I also think there's a significant difference between the CBC's coverage and Postmedia's cheerleading.

Good. It's time Americans stop deluding themselves about what's happening. Donald Trump, Stephen Miller et al. are fascists and they are implementing the Nazi playbook. And we know where that leads.

Underrated post. 😄

When I was young, I worked at a Brewer's Retail in the Sudbury area. We used to have Torontonians and Americans come in and tell us they were going fishing that day in Thunder Bay. I always got a little kick out of saying, "not today, you're not." 😄

And still managed to find love. I'm gonna start digging the tiger traps and electrifying the fences. 😄

Exactly right. And if the question is "which services that you use should be cut?", they'd have the pitchforks out.

Trumpstein trying his usual jangling keys trick and most of the Washington press corp are all "ooo, shiny."

Not suggested. Lied.

I wanna move to the deep woods and booby trap the hell out of all approaches. 🤦‍♂️

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the actual fuck???

Agree, she definitely needed some structure, method, and consistency in her approach. Feels like she now sees the value of a more professional approach to go along with her talent. Great trend lines!

I appreciate someone being outspoken on issues they care about, but there's a performative aspect to Collins, and what she tries to position as "outspoken" is very often just her being a jerk. That Aussie Open "you're paying for my vacation" thing was a cringey, petulant mess.

It's a little slice of genius.

But if you're a Raducanu fan, so encouraging. When she's healthy, she's a heck of a player.

If they ever mess with the tennis scoring system, I'm taking to the barricades.

Sabalenka closes out Raducanu 7-6 in the 3rd set. Raducanu will rue the point at 2-3 in the breaker when she had an open court and instead hit straight at Sabalenka, who punched it up the line. But the Brit gave the no. 1 everything she could handle, matching her groundies and serve. Fun match!

It's a tough one. No one wants to pick on a mom with a fussy child but, yeah, that went on for too long.

I feel for any parent in that situation but the kid had been going for a while. I mean, let's be honest, I'd be pretty whiny too in 35C heat.

The answer is "what the hell, why not?" 😄

Emma Raducanu survives a 13(!) deuce game, saving 4 break points. What a battle!
