A must read analysis of the sh1t show that is the US men's hockey debacle.

The coffee shop is playing Norah Jones and omg, why don't I listen to her more often? Every time I hear her voice it is a balm to my soul.

One of the things I love about Gen Z is how they take all the little millennial snark sayings seriously. We said “hang it in the louvre” for two decades and they said “bet”

The Ugly Underbelly of the US Hockey Victory The real Olympic heroes were the athletes who stood up for each other—and against Trump.

They have to get back to their jobs & families. Also they know they aren't welcomed. Bravo, champs.

THEY GOT IT FROM THEIR MAMA!

Good to see the boys keeping up with our golden girls.

OMG!

Caught up with @sarahspain.com & busted out laughing that she asked Sophia Kirky about the pasta. Such a Sarah question to ask. Why I listen every day.

Lists are meant to provoke, and power doesn't equal goodness.

These are choices.

"Stop resisting unlawful traffic stops, neighborhood sweeps, home raids, and warrantless arrests or more special education teachers will die."

Levito was sweet. Glenn was great, even if it wasn't as great as she wanted. 💔

Liu was magical. Breathtaking.

It's called "venue feed." Just found it for the current skaters.

It was an option earlier. That feed just ended & now I'm back w commentators.

Highly recommend watching figure skating via the venue feed. No commentators. Just music and the beauty and joy of someone living their dream.

I need someone to slide a Xena soundtrack into the hands of a figure skater so I can watch them skate to Joseph LoDuca's masterpiece.

So many of us have stories about seeing or meeting him. It's been a lovely morning reading how he touched so many of our lives.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, a symbol of Black politics and Black America, dies at 84 Jackson may have been the most recognizable civil rights icon the past half century, but his journey always led him right back to the South Side of Chicago.

Ammie Kessem, a Chicago cop w/ a long record of homophobia, harassment, bonkers lawsuits & boosting hate groups, is running for Cook County Board (9th). Take a minute to reach out to friends & family in that district to make sure they know approximately how awful she is. (Details & links to follow)

Angel Reese takes next step toward 2026 World Cup with USA nod

Reese was named to the 12-player roster for the FIBA World Cup Qualifying Tournament in Puerto Rico. Her goal is a spot on the 2026 World Cup team and ultimately the 2028 Olympic team, which won’t come easily.

This is why we get each other. You know. YOU. KNOW.

Agreed
