Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Nice story here by @thatrichsands.bsky.social on Calli Hauger-Thackery -

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Superman, Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Men. If you are upset because you think your favorite characters are woke or the stories are progressive, then I’m sorry to say but you never understood the characters or the stories. Comics are political. Sci-Fi is political.

This is the time for Superman.

As usual, the #PennRelays distance medley was a thriller. The University of Washington’s Nathan Green outkicked the field to give the Huskies their first Penn men’s title. @pennrelays.bsky.social

*tap tap tap* this thing on? Who’s ready for the 129th #PennRelays?

American marathoning suddenly has a new (and unlikely) contender: Matt Richtman won the #LAMarathon last week in a sensational 2:07:56. I caught up with him for @trackandfieldnews.bsky.social to find out more about his breakthrough. trackandfieldnews.com/matt-richtma...

Wow. Unbelievable world indoor record in the 3000 meters for Grant Fisher at the #MillroseGames at the Armory. 7:22.91 to outkick Olympic 1500 champ Cole Hocker. 🔥

The dogs were good again this year…

I was already looking forward to this, but #Superman had me all-in at Krypto!

In a wild finish at the #MerrieMile this morning in Honolulu, @nikkihiltz.bsky.social took the win in 4:28.39, just ahead of Weini Kelati (4:28.49) and Sinclaire Johnson (4:28.54). The men's field started 32 seconds behind, and a fast-closing Hobbs Kessler (3:56.51) finished fourth overall.

Looking forward to covering the #MerrieMile and #HonoluluMarathon in person this weekend.
