Decision Desk HQ projects Nithya Raman wins the second of two spots in the CA Los Angeles Mayor Nonpartisan Primary #DecisionMade: 7:57 PM EDT

When you run for LA mayor but you’ve never voted for LA mayor before.

Me watching the vote counts in LA County and California slowly roll in, even though I no longer live there.

This is a recession indicator.

Since he is an Arsenal fan, this falls under "the Mamdani effect." Omg, the Knicks might actually win the NBA Championship, too.

I can't believe this. @normcharlatan.bsky.social you're a Minnesota Legend, my man.

Results are out and the left wing of the Michigan Democrats had a near total sweep today in Detroit. Out of 8 endorsements by the People’s Coalition, for instance, all but one won the party’s endorsement today. A victory like this for leftists & progressives was hard to imagine just a few years ago.

Lt. Gov. @garlingilchrist.bsky.social has won the Michigan Democratic Party's endorsement for secretary of state on the first ballot.

Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit wins the Michigan Democratic Party endorsement for attorney general in a win for the party's progressive wing.

Haley Stevens is booed as she takes the stage at the Michigan Democratic Party Convention in Detroit. She spoke over people screaming "shame" and other comments, many about Palestine, through most of her remarks. "Democrats, I love you, even when we disagree," Stevens said.

Michigan Democratic Convention speech reception: Abdul El-Sayed: Lots of cheers. Mallory McMorrow: Meh. Haley Stevens: Lots of boos. Seeing the difference between the crowd reception to El-Sayed and Stevens was worth the attendance.

More from my nephew, definitely some damage in Ann Arbor from the storms beyond Yost:

So, the roof may have come off Yost during last night's storms.

One advantage of living in Michigan is no one wants to buy Purdue stuff, so I was able to snag this at Meijer yesterday.

Purdue still managed to have the best result for a preseason #1 team since 2020-21 Gonzaga 2025: Purdue, Elite 8 2024: Kansas, 1st Round 2023: KU, 2nd Round 2022: North Carolina, Missed Tourney 2021: Gonzaga, Sweet 16 2020: Gonzaga, Runner-up 2019: MSU, COVID 2018: KU, 2nd round 2017: Duke, Elite 8

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

TKR's game-winning shot made it to One Shining Moment. They also mentioned Arizona winning the Elite 8, but this OSM wasn't as painful as past years at least.

And ten years ago if I told you who had which titles you’d have slapped me on the spot

You could say that I am a ball-knower 😎 (don't look at the rest of my bracket)

The Big Ten has won national championships in football, men's basketball and women's basketball in the year 2026. Three different schools, too!

congratulations to the national champs, who trailed Northwestern by 16 points earlier this year

My spouse: How is Connecticut good at basketball? Aren't they white? They have white clam pizza. That's not a basketball state.

Go Blue. But still fire Warde Manuel.

literally further away from earth than any human being ever and still can’t get away from him, brutal stuff

Even the Artemis II crew could have seen that it was a 3.

My spouse: Another (UConn) time out?! What are you going to do? Strategize how to lose better?

I absolutely would love it if Michigan wins this game *and* all their points come from the paint or free throws.

This game is giving me flashbacks to Purdue's loss to UConn two years ago, with M not making any jump shots. The difference is that Michigan's defense is better than Purdue's was two years ago, preventing UConn from running away with it, and they have the talent to have multiple in-the-paint threats

Dan Hurley is just Fran McCaffrey if he was a good coach in March.

Purdue and Michigan are the Moon Schools of the B1G. When Purdue played in the Nationals Championship, the solar eclipse happened. Today, Michigan plays in the title game on the same day Artemis II breaks records and also observes a solar eclipse.

Other than Duke not holding the ball, they should have known: Never leave the white guy open. Even from the logo.

Lmao dook

Y'all should fund me to attend every Elite 8 game Purdue plays in until they lose.

Honestly, with the way this team looked in February, an Elite 8 run and winning the BTT was pretty great. House money tonight.

Just want to state for the record, and assuming no comeback tonight: Purdue in the Elite 8 when I'm in attendance with Painter as HC: 1-0 Purdue in the Elite 8 when I'm not in attendance with Painter as HC: 0-2

Jacobsen: Oh yay I'm a sacrifice!

Sparty being the reason why we won't have an All-B1G Final Four makes me feel better about Purdue not having that pressure of messing it up.

So already, Painter has the most Elite 8 appearances as head coach in Purdue history. Painter: 2019, 2024, 2026 Keady: 1994, 2000 King: 1969, 1980

Opted to include the video instead. Having it not loop automatically just so it stays on her face for a bit. Will I be their best guest speaker? People are saying it.

Obviously, we wanted Purdue to win by a bigger margin, but having been on the opposite side of these kinds of shots (especially in March Madness), it just felt good to have this moment.

Trey Kaufman-Renn tips the ball in with less than a second left to give Purdue the win over Texas

Ah yup, that will definitely solve all our problems.

Alvaro Folgueiras hits a three!

"WAY TO F*CKIN' HOOP, BABY!" #MarchMadness

Somehow, my bracket is still perfect. But that will definitely end because I picked Miami over Tennessee. Why in the world did I pick Tennessee to lose?

I doubt it will stick because I made some silly picks (likely will get UVA over Wright State wrong), but for having spent less than 5 minutes on my bracket, this isn't a bad way to start... I am not a ball knower.
