WORLD RECORD!!! WORLD RECORD!!! 🚨 SYDNEY MCLAUGHLIN-LEVRONE JUST RAN 50.37 TO SHATTER HER OWN WORLD RECORD! 🤯
Outstanding running commentary on this online event:
White Dudes for Harris is just a YouTube live video. I wanted a BUSY ZOOM that would crash. Straight men know how to make EVERYTHING less fun. I wanted a grid of celebrities of famous people and regular people intermixed.
Calipari to Arkansas is unprecedented--a HOF coach leaving a historic power for a place with way less pedigree? The huge structural changes of late--NIL + free transfers--must be the key. Coaches have WAY less power now, so for him a move to lessen oversight/scrutiny is worth it.
Amusing bit just after the 2:30 mark where Scott Evans kisses Gosling on the cheek--was that improvised? It looks like Ryan almost breaks up laughing, as if he wasn't expecting it: youtube.com/watch?v=VhWqpv…
Reactionary blowhard soccer pundit is somehow far more reasonable on this than a large % of political commentators I follow on here...
Just realized that one of the most fun movies I saw last year is now on Prime. A mashup of Kill Bill, Hot Fuzz, and a ton of other action comedies, and all through the eyes of young British Pakistani women. Highly recommended: youtube.com/watch?v=TRFM7H… amazon.com/gp/video/detai…
Interesting summary thread of a discussion among Gazan activists. But the argument (not voiced in this thread, but by many including T. Friedman) that IDF response is & has been "what Hamas wants" is the opposite of point #9 below. Any clear analysis must reject one or the other.
9/17 Had Hamas known the extent of the damage that would befall its people, it likely would not have launched the Oct. 7 attack. Yet the group is still responsible for extricating its people from the war by releasing Israeli hostages, its leaders leaving Gaza, or even disarming

Maybe asking nicely will get terrorists to act against their own terrorists? "Some Israeli decision-makers are urging far-right ministers Bezalel Smotrich...and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir “to take responsibility and calm things down.”" timesofisrael.com/shin-bet-said-…
Can those who've claimed/agreed with "don't do what Hamas wants!" when it comes to (a) opposing Israeli military strikes on Gaza please apply that to themselves on (b) immediately spreading unverified Hamas reports of IDF attacks? Unlike with (a), everyone on here is part of (b).
Celebrating the mass murder of their perceived enemies even as thousands on their side are also dying. Basically a No Lives Matter organization.

Notice that no one in Israel is blaming what has happened over the past 48 hours on “Biden funding the Iranians” Nor is anyone in Israel claiming that this is good for Netanyahu politically. These takes from abroad are way off.

Other teams have core groups who've grown up playing together through multiple tournaments, unlike USA with its rotating rosters that are different every time. A-team for USA is still good enough, but the B-team can no longer top the best opponents' combo of talent and cohesion.
It wasn't just Dennis. Germany SO solid all over the court. Theis and Obst incredible. 113 points to top the 110 Lithuania scored against Team USA. Germany or Serbia will win the @FIBAWC. USA/Canada forced to duel for third place on Sunday.
I have some bsky invites available for any followers here who are interested.

Whenever one of those engagement-bait tweets asking "what's the best cover ever" goes around, Tina Turner has at least two very reasonable claims to the answer. Proud Mary with Ike is obviously up there, but this one might be the best of them all: youtube.com/watch?v=2rJGX8…
