Congrats to 2026 Shadid Award finalists Joaquin Palomino and Cynthia Dizikes for their @sfchronicle.com investigation of for-profit mental health hospitals in California: www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

A hundred times this. Please give this entire thread analysing the argument’s poll coverage a very close read and pass it on to every journalist, Democrat and influencer you know.

Journalism educator Margaret Sullivan (@sulliview.bsky.social) confronts a challenge of this time: "Unfortunately, we are in an era in which citizens need to bring a critical eye to everything we encounter in the media."

Have you ever wondered how they get those incredible drone shots at Milan Cortina 2026? Well I dove in for @sfchronicle.com and what it means for NBC going forward (gift article link):

Getting essential facts wrong or leaving them ignored is something that has been a reliable feature of the Times news desk's coverage of transgender issues - in health care as well as public policy, including sports - & this may well prove to be the latest example. It's not just the opinions section

Bad Bunny was fantastic. (Can’t wait to read the annotated version of all the references I’m too old to get.) Reminded me of how much fun it is to attend a WBC game vs. the overly serious MLB.

Somewhere, is Tony Eason saying "c'mon, that didn't look *that* bad" ?

networks always have the option to not run ads from hate groups

No Jack Squirek moment just yet.

I am anti-monopoly and take no pleasure in reporting this.

With #SBLX almost upon us, the duel of Sam Darnold vs. Drake Maye will be a key part of it. From @eric-branch.bsky.social, their very different paths to Santa Clara: www.sfchronicle.com/super-bowl-l...

Ah, the parochial bleating of New England goobers. I do not miss it. www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

It's a black day for sports journalism, to see the Washington Post's section murdered in broad daylight by a billionaire and his hirelings.

Given how some of his own players -- along with those from Super Bowl LX and the Pro Bowl -- have sounded on the topic, Jed York sounds tone deaf. "It didn’t seem to affect Jerry Rice."

You had me at corgis.

Pro Bowlers, Seahawks & Patriots weigh in on EMF radiation. My takeaway is that the perception issue the 49ers are dealing with as this viral theory metastasizes into its own legend just isn't going to go away quickly. From @eric-branch.bsky.social & @noahfurtado.bsky.social

ICYMI!

Check out the Sporting Green's live blog of SBLX's opening night as @annkillion.bsky.social @eric-branch.bsky.social @noahfurtado.bsky.social & Scott Ostler chime in on the mayhem: www.sfchronicle.com/super-bowl-l...

If you work in sports and haven’t heard Melissa Ludtke speak, this will be worth your time.

New Giants Harrison Bader, Luis Arráez look like good choices to fill specific needs and at good prices - how do these moves impact the defense? A look: www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant... via @sfchronicle

"I kind of like who I am." It was 2023. And Brian Griese was encouraged. Sam Darnold's self-esteem hadn't been shattered. But his QB brain was infected. The story of how the #49ers rebuilt the #Seahawks Super Bowl QB. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers...

A week after San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan suggested Gus Bradley would be his next defensive coordinator, an intriguing potential outside candidate has emerged in Jim Schwartz.

This is an amazing thread. This research demonstrates yet again that Sulzberger and his nyt lieutenants were consumed w a hate-driven vendetta against trans ppl. They legitimized anti-trans bigotry for Trump in 24, giving him an invaluable campaign contribution that lifted him to victory

See Bee-Ess? Well, it's originally sourced.

One year into Trump’s second term, some journalists have been “surprised” by the administration’s organized agenda. But Project 2025 was publicly available. Advocacy groups read it and warned us. The press read it and… 🤷‍♀️ www.readtpa.com/p/this-is-li...

Still not as dumb as Barry Bonds not being in the Hall of Fame.

Hey, sorry, but if you lose a Super Bowl to Doug Pederson and Nick Foles, there are gonna be consequences.

In Chicago Tribune editorial: "This is an inevitable consequence of both political parties, fearful of their extremes, punting for years on an immigration policy." Not in the editorial: Trump ordered Republicans to kill a bipartisan immigration bill in 2024 so he could use the issue to get elected.

mini scoop: After MLB's seized control of the player tracking tech biz, the league missed its Jan 15 deadline for approving vendors. Teams don't know long they can use their tech to scout players. Some firms don't know if they'll have a baseball business. Pitchers and catchers report in... 2 weeks!

BJS makes a great point, but to be clear, the Times did not merely spread misinformation; they also wrote some of it themselves.

Pro Football Hall of Famer John Randle posted a statement about ICE as text overlays on various portraits of himself and I kind of love it

It’s very hard to do TV interviews but it’s beyond me why you don’t folo with: -Did you see the video? If no, why are you speaking about it? -What was in his right hand? A camera -what was in his left? It was empty -where was the gun when the first shot went off? A CBP agent had it Etc etc

Why is a theory many are quick to dismiss not easily waved off in the #49ers locker room? “Let’s say it affects you 1%, or even a fraction of a percent. When it comes to professional athletes, we’re always trying to optimize everything about our lives.” www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers...

Our own @samgordon.bsky.social is in Minneapolis. He went for the Warriors, he was there for a dark day in American history. Fans who came for a game that would not be played left ready to fight for Minneapolis. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/warri...

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

#DubNation stands with the people of Minneapolis and all communities affected by ICE and federal agents’ actions of violence. This goes beyond basketball. Lives are lost and many are hurting. Our thoughts are with grieving families and with everyone calling for peace, justice, and accountability.🕊️✊

No. They do not "appear to" contradict it. They contradict it.

"The federal government is killing people in the streets, so the arts are canceled," is the point we have reached.

"The federal government is killing people in the streets, so sports are canceled," is the point we have reached.

"Maybe they won't shoot someone tomorrow" is where the NBA arrived at. #Warriors

DOJ lies. DHS lies. ICE lies. That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies. They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

Harper's Letter silence: "Trump & his party do something every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist." bsky.app/profile/volt...

since Jonathan Haidt is spreading "social contagion" pseudoscience, time to re-up these two essays. "All the Evidence Against Transgender Social Contagion" links to research studies showing otherwise & how the theory was invented by anti-trans parents: juliaserano.medium.com/all-the-evid...
