Encouraging athletes to compete while injured is extremely bad. Also moderately bad is whatever the hell this is.

i really hate the valorization of injury in sports but c'mon, rub some dirt on it

In just six days, ICE killed two immigrants during traffic stops.

Early-career scientists surveyed early 2025: “Barely half of respondents now say they are likely to remain in academia, down 22pp from how they felt 6 months earlier. The fraction likely to stay in the United States fell by 21pp. Even satisfaction w having pursued a PhD in science declined by 16pp”

Didn't think "trillionaires shouldn't exist" is a sentence I would ever have to say out loud but here we are.

The Athletic’s live blog had good insights from reporters.

SPEECHLESS. LFGK

Lots going on right now, but Sonny Rollins was one of the greatest of all time. Incredibly influential on my own jazz sax style, back when I did that. This one hurts.

Sonny Rollins, one of the most influential Jazz musicians of our time, died this afternoon. He was 95

tbh i wish more people had access to antidepressants. they’re not a cure-all by any means but they’re basically magic for lots of folks who are struggling. it’s a failure that many simply cannot get the help they actually need.

Me? Just posting my perfect men’s final four picks on every social media platform. 😎

The first book in @matteaorr.bsky.social's historical mystery series, THE LAST TELEGRAM OF MRS. HUDSON, comes out September 3 from @headofzeus.bsky.social, and you can preorder it NOW at most major retailers! Isn't that cover stunning? 🤩

THRILLED to share! This one’s about grief (full Victorian mourning dress, anyone?) but also about joy. A precocious 7-yr-old Sherlock, enemies to lovers, four interwoven mysteries (one about vegetables), emotionally constipated banter, flirting w/science facts, horse chases, love & so much more

It's political fantasy with secret identities and a crunchy magic system! There are dueling revolutions jockeying for supremacy, each purporting to have the same deposed ruler at its helm.

Just finished reading The Revenant of Surolifia by @florencechien.com last night, and let me tell you guys, it's a banger.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to open to queries March 1-March 7 as scheduled. I have too many unanswered, and I want to give those authors the time they deserve. I’m hoping to return to my first-week-of-the-month opening schedule sometime this spring!

That's what I'm fucking talking about!!!!!!!!!!! <3

I love Isabeau so damn much. She's too good for that jump technique, especially on the flip. Send her to Fairfax, or to Raf. Let's get that shit cleaned up.

So proud of Amber. <3

We're three skaters into group 2 and I'm already sobbing nonstop (with joy). It's gonna be a long afternoon.

I don’t think anyone should have to even listen to this take from Vance while the Trump administration is litigating to end birthright citizenship, notwithstanding the clear text of the constitution.

Eileen Gu, born to a Chinese immigrant mother and American father, has won five medals — the most by any female freestyle skier in Olympic history. Her decision to compete for China instead of the U.S. has drawn criticism from Vice President JD Vance.

Last group of women starting now. I am panicking. H e l p

NO I DO NOT LIKE THIS ACTUALLY

I can't believe Taylor knows who Isabeau Levito is.

Standing ovation in my living room for Riku and Ryu!!!!

Happy skaters at the Olympics! 🥹🥹🥹🥹

How long until I stop hyperventilating from that last group.

I wish Denis Ten were here to celebrate the legacy he’s left for Kazakh skaters. Congratulations to Mikhail! 🐼🐼🐼
