My W group chat has already deemed the Sirens the "Murder Mermaids," making them immediately 10,000 times cooler

The Cleveland Sirens are officially the newest team in the #WNBA!

Imane Khelif, Barbra Banda, now the Cunningham circus - it's kind of amazing how many "trans women in sports" controversies don't actually involve a single trans woman

The year is 2050. Manager Miguel Rojas has the Dodgers in position to win their 27th straight World Series championship. Kaj Betts is tracking toward MVP honors. They acquire C Ben Rortvedt at the deadline.

They should be used to CC not playing defense

The track record of militaries that have an officer corps chosen for political loyalty instead of merit is...not great

Senator Elissa Slotkin@slotkin.senate.gov · 6d ago

What I am hearing about from folks in uniform is a new secret vetting process where people in the Department of Defense are looking at someone’s social media history. Looking at whether they attended a Pride event or posted something on their personal Facebook page about Martin Luther King Day.

This is anecdotal but when I wrote a piece last week trashing the dodgers for going to the White House I didn’t get one single piece of hate mail. First time that’s ever happened. He’s truly never been less popular. Even those who still like him are p quiet right now!

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.

CNN: "The president's overall approval rating now stands at just 34%. That matches his career low following the January 6 insurrection."

I hope it’s something really dumb like JorDON funneling NIL dollars into a secret account to buy Beanie Babies for Bill

Pablo Torre@pablo.show · last wk.

BREAKING: In addition to the Mike Lombardi HR matter, the University of North Carolina football team is also being investigated by the College Sports Commission — the entity which handles compliance and enforcement of NCAA and NIL rules.

the OGs in the shooting stars challenge should be wearing their original team jerseys, not these wnba logo jerseys, imo.

people claim I am not a pro ballplayer right now but also, studies have not ruled out me being a pro ballplayer in the future you can invest in my career and buy shares of my future MLB earnings on finlete

i do not need my doritos to be packed with protein, they are beautiful and perfect the way they are

V excited to have this much content for my relay mountain race this weekend. Which leads me to the question: what are the best archived fullcasts to listen to while running excessively long, dumb distances? @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social

Shutdown Fullcast@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social · 2w ago

This episode is about four kinds of journeys - Spencer attempting for 35 minutes to tell us about some country song - Surber on the Tour de France - The Odyssey, a movie about constantly leaving the beach - Two hours of audio for you, the listener at home

I wrote a report on the correlation between this type of sex "education" and the rates of teen pregnancy in the state of Idaho when I was 17 years old and presented it to legislators (spoilers: much higher rates of pregnancy, infections, violence). Just love to see that we are right back here wheeee

Melissa Gira Grant@melissagiragrant.com · 2w ago

Suppressing birth control information (for girls), scaremongering about masturbation (for boys), it’s the kind of sex ed that Anthony Comstock stood for until his dying day (in 1915)

I once saw someone say that characters should never do anything "for some reason," because they would know their own motivations and act accordingly* counterpoint: jt realmuto running back to second for some fucking reason

Chad Moriyama@chadmoriyama.bsky.social · 2w ago

With the walk-off run at second and the tying run at third, Scott gets Marsh to ground to Muncy, who get Crawford in a rundown for the out. Realmuto then goes back to second for some reason and gets tagged out there for a double play. Dodgers win, lmfao.

Bluesky knew the strait of Hormuz, Graham Platner, and AIPAC democrats were all cooked months before the experts did. Meanwhile Twitter was convinced Spencer Pratt would win and the Odyssey would bomb. Which site is the not-real-life echo chamber again?

Christopher Mims@mims.bsky.social · 2w ago

extremely funny to me that analysts whose entire job is to think about these possibilities are only now catching up to Bluesky Consensus

OH NO

I like how Platner was this singular irreplaceable figure and within ten seconds everyone was able to go “never mind this other guy is just as good”

Troy Jackson jumps out to big lead in race to replace Graham Platner in Maine

Imagine if someone tried to tell him what bathroom to use, demanded to check his genitals, or made him have a baby.

Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · 3w ago

MAGA cultist Eric Metaxas was outraged by seeing an air quality alert triggered by the Canadian wildfires that suggested people limit outdoor activity: "How dare they say that. Who has the right to tell me or you or anyone anything? It's a free country. I can do whatever I want."

Julian Snapback and Russell Dogwalker may have just been the bash brothers in the video game version

This is Benji. He recently learned how to wiggle his toes. Not sure what to do with that yet, but a good skill to have in his back pocket just in case. 12/10 (TT: benjiandbaxter)

Don’t want to see anyone calling the players bottlers when their manager stopped believing in them and did everything he could to prevent them from winning the game. If the England manager was a gym teacher who just said “OK have a go lads” and did nothing else they win the game.

@rachaelt.bsky.social Unai Simon looks like he could be a Hemsworth, yes?

So many teams at this World Cup are “awesome except their CMs suck” and Spain bring Pedri off the fucking bench

Can’t win without the basques

There's actually a simple rule of thumb that will tell you when the World Cup is too big. If you went to 64 teams, would Italy be in it? If so, it's too big

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 3w ago

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Gianni Infantino said FIFA will examine expanding the World Cup by a further 16 nations to a 64-team tournament ahead of its next edition in 2030. The 2030 tournament will be spread across six nations and three continents. nyti.ms/4pmQ1Fu

that’s a keeper
