Sifan Hassan has got to be the most entertaining athlete in distance running.

It looks like the lead pack is down to four now at the New York City Marathon? Hellen Obiri, Sheila Chepkirui, Fiona O'Keeffe, and Sharon Lokedi. And the broadcast is missing all of it.

There are lots of ways to follow this morning's New York City Marathon. ESPN2 (what a relief that Sling has day passes now!), abc7ny.com, and the NYRR app has uninterrupted coverage of the races without commentary.

seems my team does much better when i'm not watching so my dog and I will disappear on a 3 hour walk now...and every saturday hence forth.

does ryan day ever smile?

I would love to see a breakdown of how much it costs to increase police patrols in grocery stores versus how much it would cost to compensate stores to give SNAP recipients free food while benefits are suspended

Hi! It’s the last day to register to vote in Pennsylvania before the Nov. 4 election!

AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED

I am not familiar with all of these first downs what is this kind of football

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

bewildered penn stater checking in early.🤷‍♀️

Just unpacked the overstuffed recliner chair on which I sat to write 2 books in flagstaff, az. It made it to Pennsylvania with popcorn still stuck in the cushion 😐.

FYI: if you send a journalist a lengthy, unhinged email and then type “this is off the record” at the end, it is not off the record.

Hey, I'm an @insidehighered.com reporter writing today about how the ongoing shutdown may be affecting, or about to affect, university research. If you have a story to share, please DM me or email [email protected] today. Thank you.

Maybe not the Penn State news everybody is talking about, but I’m elated to hear that the board of trustees and WHYY have come to an agreement to keep our local station WPSU alive and well. 🙏

If you'd like to read more background about Subu and what led to his exoneration, one of our students at Penn State's Bellisario College of Communications News Lab wrote a feature about 9 months ago. (The reporter is working on his follow up now.) bellisariostudentmedia.psu.edu/story/cold-c...

The deportation order derives from the crime of which he has now been exonerated. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The Trump administration has promoted the anti-vax, anti-science movement which has now produced an epidemic www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Asked James Franklin if there's a status update on QB Drew Allar, who exited the game in the 4th quarter. "Drew Allar will be done for the year," Franklin said. So, Penn State heads to Iowa with backup QB Ethan Grunkemeyer. Updates in here too: insidethelions.substack.com/p/penn-state...

Can we talk about indiana?

See. It’s better to know what’s coming! But yikes. What a disaster.

I’ve taken to watching penn state on a slight delay because then I know what’s coming and I can mentally prepare. 🙈

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.” Among those RIFd: —leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases; —leadership of global health center —leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

I did not know whether to wear my Phillies, eagles, or Penn state sweatshirt this morning. I fear my relocation to this great commonwealth has put some sort of hex on the sportsball.

3 men with leaf lowers, trimmers, and lawn mowers are working on my yard and I’ve officially become my own suburban nightmare.

I’m on a layover and catching up. I wish I hadn’t. 💀

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.” That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

I've said this take before, but All the President's Men is the most accurate journalism movie in large part because there are long stretches where no good source will talk to them and it's not clear they're going to get the story even if they stay really dogged at it and it's really boring to watch

More news breaking at Bounces about Donald Trump's visit to the US Open men's final. The US Open has sent an email to broadcasters, obtained by Bounces, ordering them to censor any reactions or protests from the crowd to Trump's appearance. Read more here: www.benrothenberg.com/p/us-open-do...

"WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 1, 2025) – The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations" cpb.org/pressroom/Co...

Noo. Not Theo. 😭

This is a really big deal that will impact MILLIONS of people: "For example, if someone paid $60 a month for their health insurance this year, they might be looking at $105 a month next year. " www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Marathon world record holder Ruth Chepng’etich has been provisionally suspended by the Athletics Integrity Unit after testing positive for Hydrochlorothiazide in a test on March 14th. The positive test came 5 days after her only competition of 2025. citiusmag.com/articles/rut...

The rescission bill has passed the Senate. Once it passes the House, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when TV stations still broadcast in black and white.

Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals. What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research. Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out. zurl.co/YBGNy

“Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it.”

At the urging of President Trump, Congress is expected to vote this week on whether to cut $500 million per year for public radio and TV stations.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

As a summer editorial intern at US News & World Report (yup - I’m old! 👵🏼), I will always remember the days David Gergen was in the office. Whispers and murmurs of “Gergen’s here today” buzzed about in the hallways. Mostly among the interns 😂.

My dog is relishing her last July 4th living in a town that doesn’t do fireworks. Thanks for many things, flagstaff, but most of all thanks for this!

HOW IS THE U.S. GOING TO HOST THE OLYMPICS, she asks for the gazillionth time.
