It’s funny because this whole thread is like complaining that your hammer isnt put the screws in the hole. But also the hammer’s makers spent like a good few years advertising it as an amazing new replacement for screwdrivers.

"Got the pic of the red card incident for you boss. Real fucking sexy just like you asked."

Another Sincaraz final in the books! The Monte Carlo final featured the slowest conditions this matchup has seen so far, and marks Sinner’s first win in significantly slower-than-average conditions since the Umag final in 2022

Spot on

After JD Vance campaigned for Orban it’s hard to imagine how he could fail harder after this. He’d have to, like, be tasked with negotiating the opening the Straight of Hormuz and then somehow manage to double close it or something.

even the most tenacious autocrats have a difficult time denying a landslide result against them

analogy for the America brained is like if the Dems lost to Trump four times in a row and then ran Mitt Romney to save the country and won crazy supermajorities and also Mitt Romney was named Johnny America

2 - Since the ATP Masters 1000 format’s introduction in 1990, Jannik Sinner has become just the second player to win Indian Wells, Miami and Monte Carlo in a season after Novak Djokovic (2015). Prime. #RolexMonteCarloMasters

Sincaraz is the best thing in all of sports in 2026.

Going to be hard to top this female coach in the German men's fifth tier

Anyone claiming to be bored by Sinner + Alcaraz playing for #1 in the Monte Carlo final is being unserious

This is so funny

astronauts on the moon. affordable college for everybody. building a ton of housing for families. vaccines to end cancers. we can have all this cool stuff if you just vote for the people that want to do it. we can do so much great stuff. put down your anger. great things are right there.

The greed is wild. Apple is worth nearly $4 trillion but can't tolerate a single store with unionized workers because they're so against workers getting what they deserve.

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

19 - Since the format’s introduction in 1990, Jannik Sinner is now the fifth player to claim 19 consecutive ATP Masters 1000 match wins after Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Streak. #RolexMonteCarloMasters

“It is beneath my dignity to let myself be run over by any trolley, and particularly this trolley, burdened as it is by a cape and a stupid hat.” I wrote for Defector about boycotting Harry Potter, the ‘safe’, kindly face of anti-trans politics: defector.com/its-time-to-...

Honestly didn't know this was the rule because I've never seen it applied

“if you didn’t give enough of a shit to write it why would I give enough of a shit to read it” is a pretty reasonable argument. “If you didn’t give enough of a shit to code it why would I give enough of a shit to use it” is completely incoherent

Did Victor Glover attend Cal Poly on a wrestling scholarship & later play on the football team? Yup. Was he a prime agitator in forcing the administration to create a DEI plan of action? Yup. Was he part of a group of men selected to inform students about rape & sexual assault? YESSIR

It's humanity's first flight to the moon since 1972. In a throwback to Apollo, NASA's Artemis II mission will send four astronauts on a lunar fly-around. Here’s a snapshot of the Artemis II mission.

PSG with a cool 8 goals from 17 shots across the tie, nice conversion rate if you can get it

TennisAbstract's court speed data confirms Indian Wells got much faster this year compared to recent editions: it's the first time since 2017 that it played faster than tour average, and the fastest it's been since 1998 Data from @tennisabstract.bsky.social

6 - Since the format’s introduction in 1990, Jannik Sinner (24y 200d) is now the youngest player to win all six ATP Masters 1000 events on hard court, surpassing Andy Murray (29y 169d) in Paris in 2016. Takeover. #TennisParadise

Peak Medvedev remains one of the weirdest and best tennis players I've seen, that looked easy for him despite the close second set

Just Nuno things

I was driving last night and was trying to use the Tennis Channel app audio feed to follow the match and at this point the shoes kept squeaking and the crowd kept ooohing much longer than plausible and when it was done the commentator just laughed and said 'He's 38'

There's nothing quite like the thrill of Arsenal on a big Champions League night. The dizzying highs (circulating in the middle third). The terrifying lows (more circulating in the middle third). The looming threat that at any second they might do something other than circulate in the middle third

Iga Swiatek just called Karolina Muchova 'the women's Roger' 👌

1 - Following his victory over Ben Shelton, Learner Tien (6-5) is now the only active player from outside Europe to hold a winning record against ATP top 10 opponents – minimum 10 matches. Building. #TennisParadise
