Health insurance in America is so broken. How many of y’all basically have a part-time job in the mornings, on lunch breaks and late afternoons where you squeeze in calling your provider during their hours to help them figure out how to progress a claim for yourself or family?

This would still be embarrassing and tacky if it were a baseball or basketball game at the white house and not mixed martial arts cage fighting but now it looks like some kind of a crypto grift apparently
Somehow the UFC thing got even stupider and more corrupt. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Grant continues to be not only a great baseball writer, but just a good writer. Read this blog post from one of the best sports bloggers.
This from @grantbrisbee.bsky.social on the Giants Pride Night situation is worth your time today.
happy for NYC and Knicks fans to finally win another championship, but man this is why this finals was so brutal as a Spurs fan. literally record breaking levels of choking
Craziest stat for me The Knicks had the #1, #3, and #5 biggest comeback wins in NBA Finals history In the same Finals
hard to be too pissed off that your team choked in the finals when you spot your @newpublic.org teammate playing drums in an impromptu party in the streets
Impeccable vibes.
maybe the spurs should try playing the whole game from behind the next time they’re in the finals
Man, all these ‘Knicks are having a national moment’ pieces and the good vibes on here are really discordant with these stories of Spurs fans being beat by mobs and having their jerseys torn off www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...

I’m not usually a blame the coach kinda sports fan but do you think that the Spurs lose that game if Pop is still out there coaching them?
if you watched a lot spurs this season that was the most spurs loss I can imagine. whenever they go up that much, thats when I start to worry.
now these are some vibes
From @theathletic.com: When Victor Wembanyama went to Gramercy Park before Game 3 to sketch a statue, it was more than just having fun in his free time. It was his process. As he sat there, sketching Hamlet, he saw his perspective on a tragic figure.
I know the Knicks are hot and they “deserve” a title after a long wait and NYC is going to be an incredible festival if they win, but here is an article about the IG that tracks what books Wemby brings to games, so GO SPURS GO www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/spor...

still can’t believe the spurs won that game and are going to the finals moved home to Texas last year and drove down to SA for several games because they were just a fun team to watch, these guys brought me back to the NBA, back to my hometown team unreal that they’re playing for it all now
Today the A’s lost. It’s entirely possible that tomorrow the AL West could be led by a team with a losing record The Astros are only 5 games back. Yes, they just lost Altuve for 6-8 weeks, but Peña returns this series. Soon, they’ll be on top of this trash division
I appreciate the AL West staying trash while the Astros fill the infirmary at historic rates The A’s, who literally can’t host postseason games, lead the division with a record one game over .500 You heard here first - the Astros will make the postseason to spite all the haters and then lose in 3

Like many small nonprofits, we’ve been experimenting with using AI tools so that we can focus on our mission of reinforcing human connections, conversations, and communities. We remain mindful of the harms and risks of AI, and have developed a set of guiding principles grounded in our values.
One of the top reasons I love building at @newpublic.org is all the research, the core of how they work. SO MUCH RESEARCH. This work, led by @taliastroud.bsky.social (hook 'em horns) has already directly influenced decisions we've made with our new local social platform. Sign up and check it out.
We’ve got one of the most in-depth surveys on how Americans connect with neighbors online — what works, what doesn't, what they want instead. These are essential insights for anyone thinking about local communities. Join us 11/20 when @taliastroud.bsky.social & @eli.bsky.social share the data
