Colossal stupidity on show here but actually hugely revealing about Trump's cancerous view of the world. He can't grasp the concept of mutual benefit. Everything in his life - from relationships to business - must have a winner & loser. What a tragedy of a man.

Che strano paese la mia Italia. Una settimana fa ci siamo tutti scambiati gli auguri di una Pasqua che per molti non ha alcun significato ed oggi ci ritroviamo quasi in punta di piedi a parlare della ricorrenza più importante della nostra storia. Viva l’Italia laica, libera e antifascista! #25aprile

This Montecarlo dubs final was everything I love and know about tennis: the triumph of the underdog and the unlimited ability demonstrated by the Brits to absolutely fucking bottle it. Epic. #tennis

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Amazing. After nearly losing her house, and being locked away in a legal battle for years because of one innocuous line in her last TED Talk, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social returns to the Lion’s Den, and calls out the Broligarchs This Is What a Digital Coup Looks Like youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

Unpopular tennis opinion: I’d genuinely rather watch Musetti crash out in the first round of a Challenger than see Sinner clinch yet another Grand Slam. Yes, really.
