The quietly competent and drama-free Biden administration bored journos and pundits to tears so they dove deep into what they had: inflation and Biden old. The firehose of 💩 plus constant press avails by Baghdad Barbie and the Orange Oz himself and there's not enough bandwidth to go deep on anything

❌ Ukraine resolved in 24 hrs ❌ Only deport violent criminals ❌ Prices down ❌ China pays the tariffs ❌ No Medicaid cuts ❌ No wars You know, I'm starting to believe you can't trust what this Trump fella says 🤔

1000% more interesting (and relevant) than the constant Jordon Hudson drumbeat. Pablo would be disappointed.

Unfortunately FIFA and the IOC may be the only organizations more corrupt than the Trump White House so expecting the right thing out of them is ambitious

This is the most CFL scorebug ever and I am here for it. A rouge and the ball on the Toronto 53.

She literally said they are going to "liberate" a city and state from its democratically elected leadership followed by a United States Senator being forcibly removed from the room. This is Trump's America. What are we even doing here?

The deep rough at Oakmont looks like that part alongside the highway that only gets mowed twice a year

As @gregdoucette.bsky.social would say, "Cops are great..."

While I appreciate the snazzy "No Kings" name for protests (conjuring up Schoolhouse Rock "No More Kings" vibes for Gen Xers), it undersells the threat. Americans' view of kings is the modern, figurehead British monarchy. The threat is authoritarian and dictatorial, and we should call it such.

This is a Paul checkpoint. Post a famous Paul! (Real ones of a certain age know this one)

Home from the Bosh, thinking about everything that had to go against UNC's season-long body of work to lose twice. Won 57 straight when leading after 7, had one of the nation's best ERAs, hit 2 top MLB prospects hard the last 2 weeks, and hadn't lost back-to-back in 2025 but 🤷‍♂️

Sadly the season will be defined by Vandy's error but UNC simply made too many mistakes over two days to win a super regional. Offense and defense on both days, and pitching yesterday.

Stop me if you've heard this: French gets on to open the inning with the top of the order coming up and UNC gets nothing

Stop me if you've heard this: UNC hits a 3-run homer in the Super Regional

Arizona has 16 hits: 1 homer, 1 double, and 14 singles. 8 of 10 runs scored with 2 outs. That's... baseball, I guess.

Your ace having an "off day" and going 7 while giving up only 2 runs is quite a luxury. That said, Knapp needs to be sharper in Omaha if UNC makes it there.

Reminder that women are too emotional to be president.

Too much overthinking re: Elmo and Mango. Don't think it's kayfabe or anything more than two bullies squaring off. Two egos that size can't coexist but so long. My money's on Elmo because TACO but that doesn't mean both sides won't go scorched earth before that ultimately happens. Also 🍿.

"No way you can find someone more incompetent than Betsy DeVos to run the Department of Education" "Hold my beer..."

#asexpected A classy (and correct) response from RBA about the handshake line. Basketball coaches do it, football coaches do it. Decorum gatekeepers like Maurice get so tiresome.

If the higher seed wins the first 5 games (as happened in this regional) then the #2 seed is the home team for *both* deciding games over the top seed. Such nonsense. Also not announcing the game time until after 11pm is annoying but that's what happens when you deal with TV.

Too many mistakes tonight for Carolina. Pitching mistakes, fielding mistakes, coaching mistakes...can't do that in a regional championship game. Clean it up for tomorrow and advance.

Good morning to all the non-hockey national pundits who didn't watch Carolina all year until the ECF and now have hot taeks about what the Canes should do this off-season.

Lot of hockey left but Canes have answered the question of "will they build on their Game 4 performance". Looking energized and more like the team we expected to see this series.

Breaking: Canes need their best players to be their best players. (Not ragging on Joe. Just saying it's pretty obvious and was clearly a difference Monday night)
