I like this message. And letting people know that life isn’t a zero sum game. If your neighbors do well, no matter how far away, it doesn’t mean you are doing less well. Rising tide lifts all ships.

For 20 years+ years, I’ve had @espn.com ever present as an open tab in my browser… sorry to say that streak has ended.

Almost forgot…guess my F1 viewership is done for this season as well. @espn.com

Guess no Monday Night Football for me for awhile.

RIP Roy Hobbs.

Patriots win + Red Sox win + in bed before 10pm on a Sunday = fantastic @redsox.com

When I am President, and get booed at sporting events, I’ll be fine with it.

I promise that if I become famous (which I won’t), that no matter how hard up for money I become, I will absolutely not do a commercial for sports betting.

Editor: Ok. We are a serious publication. This article involves Massachusetts, so under no circumstance should we mention Ben Afleck or Dunkin Donuts in this article. Author: But the judge specifically brings up Dunkin Donuts. Editor: (sigh) ok.

LGBTQ students deserve to be themselves at school.

Could be an opportunity for Democrats…remind voters that DOGE came in and basically found little waste, little to no incompetence, and, obviously, no ‘deep state’. Large swaths of the government were working the way they were supposed to under Biden.

Hey @redsox.com …remember ‘Sox Appeal’?

I’m Josh Turek—4x Paralympian, 2x gold medalist, and Iowa State Rep who won a Trump district twice. Now I need your help to flip Iowa’s U.S. Senate seat. Chip in today, let’s win this: secure.actblue.com/donate/tur_s...

Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.

Go shop at the Dorchester Food Co-op — owned, operated, and shopped by the community. I’m so grateful for their vital work making healthy, locally-grown food accessible for all and building community to combat food insecurity right here in Boston.

When I run, I think about what I would do if I was Governor or President. Weird, since I don’t think about that when I’m not running.

I have the same sense of humor now as I did when I was 14 years old. Even I think that throwing dildos on the court at WNBA games is stupid and not at all funny. It’s just dumb.

Keep up the good work. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/07/m...

Good. No doctor should be forced to turn away families because of political threats.

Talk may be cheap, but it may also prove invaluable for the young #Patriots trying to lead the team back to #NFL prosperity. How the art of conversation is helping players hone their crafts this summer in Foxborough. Via @985thesportshub.bsky.social. 985thesportshub.com/2025/08/03/s...

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social Can we get a Maureen Dowd-ism based on this?

The White House is happy to announce the new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics

People who voted for Trump sent him to the White House because he promised to lower costs on day one—not to turn the White House into a crypto cash machine for his own benefit. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/e...

In my latest column for @theatlantic.com, I explain why some of the negative reaction to WNBA players wearing the Pay Us What You Owe Us T-shirts during All-Star weekend is rooted in bad-faith narratives www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

So why does F1 want to jump ship to Apple TV again? MLS has less than half as much viewership on Apple TV compared to when ESPN had it. @maxlederman.bsky.social

Oh no I really hope Bill Clinton isn’t in the Epstein files, I’ll have to get rid of my Bill Clinton hat and my Bill Clinton sneakers and my Bill Clinton cologne and my Bill Clinton watch and take down my Bill Clinton flag and I’ll have to delete my Bill Clinton nft trading cards

George couldn’t handle that job

Remember this like it was yesterday… www.si.com/nfl/ozzy-osb...

Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

On a list of the 500 things that I consider when buying a car, cup holders are probably 476.

“Former Celtics forward Grant Williams, for instance, cited the tax as one variable in his decision to leave Boston to play for the Dallas Mavericks.” That was listed as a ‘con’ of the millionaires tax? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/07/b...

Bobby Knight was an abusive asshole, so it makes sense Bessent drew inspiration from Knight.

Saints DT Khalen Saunders is hosting a football camp specifically for youths in the LGBTQ+ community. www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

Nothing wrong with expecting people to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, until you realize that some people have no boots.

Sick and tired of Republican Senators coming to me privately saying, “Mark, keep speaking up, you’re our conscience.” I don’t want to be their damn conscience. I want them to vote their conscience.

Thank You.

Celtics will miss him, but good for him for getting paid and landing in a perfect spot. Revived his career here and in Maine, awesome guy and teammate who knew and mastered his role, and — this is the most important part — a champ forever. 🫎

Trump is no savior of the middle class. Firefighters, teachers, police officers, truck drivers— All of these Americans are set to lose $500 on average as a result of Trump’s tariffs and his Big, Beautiful Bill. Meanwhile, millionaires will get a $300,000 handout. Hell no.

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

For now I have… 1. Stephen King @stephenking.bsky.social 2. Joshua Chamberlain 3. Patrick Dempsey 4. Anna Kendrick 5. Cooper Flagg (for now) 6. George Mitchell 7. Joan Benoit Samuelson 8. Hannibal Hamlin 9. Clyde Sukeforth 10. Elizabeth Strout and Richard Russo (tie)

Boyle: For every American household that makes under $55,000 a year, they will be poorer as a result of this bill. So it's quite clear under this Republican betrayal— the poor get poorer, the rich get richer, and the middle class falling further behind. This is wrong.

Thank You. 💚 📸: @charl3ston

How do they get away with this? The bill they passed cuts Medicaid by $793 BILLION. $793 BILLION. It's in the bill. They wrote it. Their own budget office says 10 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Just wild.

Quick-hit thoughts/notes around the Patriots and NFL (fifth-round pick Bradyn Swinson and a revived pass rush; rookie WR Kyle Williams on pro sports scene in NE; Deatrich Wise Jr. on lasting Patriots lessons etc.) www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

I assure you, none of them are mine.

This would not be popular in Boston. Possibly riot inducing.
