Is Jim Courier mad at Brett Haber or something? Because he’s awfully snarky and contradictory today. Get some sleep, Jim, maybe take an edible to mellow out.

Watched Anora - WTF, I thought the Academy pervs reserved the T&A award for the Supporting Actress category? Madison winning was literally the plot of The Substance. Anora was at its best as a comedy, worse as providing some type of social commentary.

Well the Dutch are doing well at Indian Wells

I get that Bluesky is a “safe haven” or protest alternative to Twitter but the substantive political discourse there far outstrips what is happening here. And keeping in the dark/silo’ing hasn’t helped Democrats. Just saying.

I’ve been of the opinion people should get off Twitter, but looking at TL here recently I think there should be like a mandated hr per week where Bsky users go there (or Reddit idc) to yell at MAGAs. The far left, normie libs and everyone in between locked in here together isn’t working so well

Another top male seed bites the dust

Bye bye Zverev

Boooo…should be Demi.

The Substance makeup people are wearing that acid green color…dying

Have to think Academy voters will sidestep the youngest BA winner/breaking record of youngest BA winner by voting for Fiennes who has been perpetually overlooked for such an impressive body of work.

"tree equity" is the kind of thing that columnists like to make fun of when why it works is actually instantly apparent to anyone who's ever walked down a street in the summer apnews.com/article/tree...

So happy for the perpetually underrated Demi Moore (though a lot of grunting in her script!).

I just love that Pamela Anderson shows up on the red carpet with no makeup, almost as penance for her '90s plastic surgery/exaggerated makeup phase. The opposite of Demi Moore's character in The Substance.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

Love Aryna, but I’m thrilled for Keys. Such strong play on both sides in that last set.

Aryna likes to dominate and so far Keys isn’t letting her in this set.

I want to see Madison get the aggressiveness back.

Aryna “Drop Shot” Sabalenka

Sabalenka isn’t going down without a fight. Keys can’t let her settle in though. Keys can’t lose that clutch serve that’s for sure.

women’s tennis ftw

Phew. One set down for Keys, now let’s get that early set one momentum back.

After the Keys-Swiatek match, the Djokovic-Zverev one is a bit of a letdown thus far.

KEYS! An American through to the AO final but more importantly the match of the tournament by far. Either one could have taken it.

Unbelievable match. Just UNBELIEVABLE

Whose heart isn’t pounding out of their chest after that game?

Iga leaving the court after getting trounced that set…what else is new

Outplayed by Shelton, but looking forward to seeing more of this Lorenzo Sonego in the future.

That tie break was pathetic

Tommy Paul didn’t know there wasn’t a let machine on the net? Does he realize he’s playing tennis as a profession, and not for fun?

Sonego is definitely playing like he’s sick of people talking about Sinner, Musetti, Berrettini, & Cobolli. 🤌🤌🤌

Glad Madison keys came back in that 3rd set. With Rybakina not 100%, she was essentially beating herself in the 2nd set

Did ESPN just flash a graphic that it was 92° F in Melbourne? My weather app says 82°?

Taylor is wondering how this old guy is getting the better of him!

Well, that’s it for Fonseca mania, for now

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.

What’s the deal with the slow mo thirst clip of Novak pouring water on his head?

OMG, Coco, could you get Thanasi Kokkinakis’ name right? She pronounces it differently every time. Kakonakis, Kakanakis, Thannosi…😩

ok, now I feel bad calling Tiafoe’s play frustrating (and FFS, @espn, we don’t need a camera shot of yack)

France’s Tiago is both one of the most exhilarating and frustrating players to watch.
