This by CNN is genuinely reprehensible. Everyone involved should be embarrassed. -The 'new pain' case vs Mamdani is *solely* his religion. -He was in NYC on 9/11, at grade school -Soon after attack GWB himself gave famous speech warning against blaming all Muslims for terrorism -25 yrs later, this.

Twenty-five years after the mayor of New York City became the champion of America's grief and resilience at the time of the 9/11 attacks, families of those killed are split on whether the current mayor should attend the annual remembrance. https://cnn.it/4zkKYdc

Angel Genao is the first player in Cleveland franchise history with 4 hits in his MLB debut. Unreal.

This Emily Wilson person clearly realizes that this is her one moment to shine

My Cleveland Sirens prediction is that they will acquire Jacy Sheldon and try to make her the face of the franchise

If you’re going to name the WNBA team after something in the Odyssey, at least they picked the best scene

Weird he can’t bring this kind of energy towards his colleague who is accused of beating up his daughter.

Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"

My local councilman in Brooklyn is not feeling LeBron’s plan

Not sure that living in NYC will endear LeBron to sixers fans if they get off to a slow start

If true (and who knows), I find this to be quite petulant

LeBron James reportedly delayed announcement after Adam Silver remarks hoopswire.com/lebron-james...

I’ve been watching the prediction markets on LeBron and they’ve been pretty weird. Miami has been the favorite but there have been a couple of times when the Cavs have randomly surged ahead (including just now). No idea if it means anything (probably not).

Kinda shocked by the number of Spain jerseys out and about in Brooklyn (including many non-Yamal). Probably not quite equal to the number of Messi but not too far off.

Against all odds, looks like they will have decent weather and breathable air for the World Cup final today

This game is the perfect appetizer for tomorrow’s 1-0 snooze fest

I always say, the most dangerous lead in soccer is 4-0

England sitting a bunch of guys felt like a surrender but it turns out they have guys out there with fresh legs in the humidity

I think they only cared about trying to get Mbappe goals. They disregarded every other aspect of the game.

Does France know there’s a game and they’re in it

The air outside is unbreathable. The heat index is dangerous. Eating lettuce might give you explosive diarrhea. The president of the United States of course remains laser focused on conspiracy theories about why he lost an election six years ago.

So LeBron is really gonna take it even longer than that huh

So LeBron is really gonna take this all the way until his live podcast next week huh

So… tomorrow?

This game is the opposite of England/Mexico in terms of living up to the hype

So LeBron is really gonna take this all the way until his live podcast next week huh

"They are from trailer parks in east Texas, the suburbs of Kansas City, and beach towns south of LA. They are from Berlin and Munich and Frankfurt. They are all Americans. Their fathers were soldiers & truck drivers, and they play like it. They are the children of immigrants and they play like it."

The Wright Thompson narrated intro to USA Belgium in 2014 still makes me want to run through a series of walls. youtu.be/LjygxUt2Pvs?...

(Greatest soccer game you’ve ever seen) ANNOUNCER (sheepishly) ……… and remember to tune into World Cup tonight with James Corden……… he’s got Sophie Cunningham tonight

Every game has been amazing except for the US getting absolutely blitzed

VAR has lost the plot

“The future of American soccer is bright” MY DUDE WE HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT SAME SHIT FOR 25 YEARS AT LEAST

Best group stage performance in USMNT history followed by a Round of 16 beatdown worse than the ones taken by less talented USA teams 20 or 30 years ago

What is dispiriting is the lack of progress. USMNT lost 3-1 in the round of 16 four years ago to a clearly superior team. Here we are again.

It’s cool that they won some games but losing in the round of 16 again—with this level of talent on home soil—would be a complete failure

That feels like the kind of win that can propel a team all the way
