y'all gotta see this clip where ESPN abruptly deleted the EPSN Bet promo by ripping off the whole bottom bar live because of what they're talking about

So far, the overall tone of the Peacock pregame has been one of excitement for basketball. Honestly, it’s refreshing.

Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady on the NBC / Peacock pregame show. Carter and McGrady are wearing suits and Anthony is wearing what looks like a track jacket

I love that Melo showed up to work like he’s sitting courtside

BOSS: hey you’re focused on getting that report together, right?

ME: ya sure

MY BRAIN (on a loop): Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-basketball, gimme, gimme, gimme the ball because I'm gonna DUNK IT!

You: if only there was a really cool new Stephon Castle dunk I could look at, my life would be complete

Me:

filled the bird feeder with both candy and bird food so now the trick or treaters and birds have a variety of choice.

It’s time. Internet 2.

D’Angelo, Neo-Soul Pioneer and ‘Untitled (How Does It Feel)’ Singer, Dies at 51 Legendary R&B singer D'Angelo, who released three albums throughout his career, has died. He was 51.

What a genius. The world is worse without him. variety.com/2025/music/n...

one of the realest tributes to Prince anybody did after he died. Somebody major needs to get on TV and do for “The Charade” what D’Angelo did here

D'Angelo speaking out about the physical and emotional burden of maintaining a nearly unobtainable physique and sexy image as a Black male artist should be taught in labor studies. It absolutely impacted how I analyze pop culture.

D'Angelo was remarkable in so many ways. I'm saddest right now, as a fan, that we won't be getting an eccentric late period from him. His contributions remain inestimable but what he would have made in his 50s and onward, I just know it would have been amazing. RIP

Never mind. Congrats to the Aces

Is there a gender neutral version of “gentleman’s sweep?”

A'ja Wilson, man. Even the basketball god's couldn't intervene

THE ENDING OF THIS GAME...

A’ja screaming “AND ONE”

banned books week…..a great time to buy a bunch of insanely famous books

saw David Byrne last night -- excellent show. A nice touch throughout was DB giving credit to the people who made the accompanying video, the arrangements they performed, and even (like in the American Utopia show/tour) immersing himself into the larger ensemble.

It sucks how athletes get painted as greedy when it's the people running these sports who keep making the product worse specifically/exclusively because they just want more money

this is fuckin inspiring, man. it is so cool to see a superstar talent in a position of union leadership sticking her neck out to make such a measured but incisive statement

Incredibly brave of Napheesa Collier to call out the flaws she sees in the W’s leadership in this way. She established herself as one of the most powerful voices and leaders in the league with Unrivaled and this is further proof of her willingness to publicly demand better.

RETWEET BY SHAMS:

Napheesa Collier’s full statement today, where she challenged Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the WNBA with directness and stunning detail we rarely hear from active players. Worth listening to every word.

Cathy Engelbert, whose three-point game is weak, earns 38 times more than Caitlin Clark.

Well, I guess I’ll enjoy the finals this year because there is no way they are avoiding a work stoppage if the commissioner thinks this is a smart thing to say about one star to another star (who also runs an exciting professional women’s basketball league!)

A live look at the Mets

but for real try to conjure up a woman or black head coach saying they spend hours and hours using chat gpt, full stop. then think of the lifetime’s worth of scorn and glee they’d get at first error, big or small

Without knowing what the locker room was like, this seems like a bad choice
