i am so very sorry but marta can never retire, 95th minute in a playoff quarterfinal clinging to a 1 goal lead and she uses every ounce of energy she had left to sprint damn near the whole pitch and win a late penalty, then gives the spot kick to luana. i'm over here just being a puddle of emotions.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

There was a surprise guest at our show in Washington, D.C. #CrookedCon2025

Take Two CEO Strauss Zelnick: "It's always painful when we move a date. We have done so occasionally in the past, and we've never regretted it." "...we have certain competitors that in the event where more polish was required... they chose not to slip the date, and they did so at their peril."

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed, for the second time, to 19 November 2026. Take Two's CEO remarked that the delay would help provide time for "a "high level of polish," and "we feel quite good about this date.” The delay comes amid the contentious firing of dozens of workers at Rockstar Games.

The Commanders are not thriving entering Week 9. Blame the front office's choices? You know I've been down on WR depth for months. Overall, eh. A reminder they were still building up a thin roster and then kinda nailed their top 2025 moves. Injuries suck. open.substack.com/pub/lastmans...

"We never validated our core assumptions before investing heavily in solutions. The truth is that gamers already had the solution to their problems, and they weren't going to switch platforms just because a new one was available," a former Amazon exec said earlier this year.

Last season, I rarely, if ever, felt like we didn’t have a chance to win a game. That confidence is gone. #RaiseHail

Damn. That injury bug - that we magically avoided last year - is back with a vengeance. #RaiseHail

And the engine caught fire…

And the wheels come off… #RaiseHail

Yikes #RaiseHail

Daron Payne is having a GAME.

GREAT LISTEN: “The WNBA owners are on the side of the players because they want the NBA to pay the players (also) and then you have the NBA owners who are, like, no... Not our league, although it is our league but we're pretending it's not our league, we just want to collect the revenue.”

“The idea in a lot of men's minds is mens’ sports is legitimate. It’s something that should exist. We don't care if they’re losing money. One of the fundamental problems is that, ultimately, there are a lot of men who don't believe in women's sports in the same way they believe in men's sports.”

3 turnovers + missed kick Season is uphill from here

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.

The official charity of the Savannah Bananas has a hard time explaining how its money is spent: defector.com/the-official...

In other words, it’s not JUST contact with a piece of (mis)information (related to its spread) that shape our belief, but our perceptions of who else believes it. And digital systems have completely reconfigured how perceptions of social consensus form.

Misinformation is running wild about NFL stars donating to the family of Charlie Kirk.

That was like the bat flip of challenge flag throws

Yikes.

Amos, let’s goo! #RaiseHail
