Most of the conversation about domes surrounds winter weather, but the reality is that extreme heat and wildfire smoke are just as likely to cancel games.

Hey. Social team. I'm doing this as a quote post so you'll see it. Given that the actual governor was just let go without a ticket for running a red, maybe you should consider hammering that. The abuse of power angle is something that will land more right now than "making things cost less".

Pete Hegseth doesn’t want soldiers to be healthy, he wants them roided up. It’s not gender affirming care, it’s actually forced masculinization, where masculinity is defined explicitly as capacity for violence. This is “gender affirming” in the sense that Hitler gave his men free crystal meth.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that’s rape. www.salon.com/2026/07/15/m...

Describe your favorite musical as boringly as possible. a guy doesn't show up for his own 35th birthday party.

Neighborhood arcades. The flipping mall. The video store. Fast food restaurants where you could actually sit. Basketball courts and parks that weren't as tightly controlled as they are now. More bookstores. More coffeeshops. Most importantly, we didn't have a heavily militarized police force.

Five months from now, this will keep Miami out of an ACC Championship that they otherwise would've reached

As a lapsed Catholic myself, the threads from @clairewillett.bsky.social are giving me life and joy and humor right now. 😂

Of all of the memes in this genre, this. This is the best one of them all.

remember, none of the title ix stuff is actually about sports, it's about education.

Important Minnesota News: NEW STATE FAIR FOODS JUST ANNOUNCED Lots of amazing stuff on here but the Birria Crunch Bombs might be top of my list

I have been intentional this year to give compliments/gratitudes in real-time, even strangers. It costs nothing to do but a fleeting moment of your time and in today's world, to bring a little joy and spontaneous connection for free and asking nothing in return, can truly transform someone's day.

The thing is, this quote from @solomonrmissouri.com could apply to sports, barbecue, or just…yanno, life in general. Who is to say?

@kenklippenstein.bsky.social hey. Just, yanno, wondering…is there a reason you didn’t post this here?

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha *deep breath* Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha *takes deep breath and a gulp of water. Swallows* Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

No bracketed tournament ever has the “best XX teams” because the best teams on paper don’t always make it through the qualifying process—especially in single elimination situations. The variance is too great in such circumstances.

The interesting thing about why Norway dominates at international sports is that they have a culture of not permitting ranking or competition in kids before they turn 12. It promotes cooperation and enjoyment instead. Along with affordable access, it means sports there are more equitable.

TIL the world's new favorite himbo once bought a 13th century copy of one of the Norse Sagas for $150,000, then donated it to the library because "I'm not much of a reader."

if benjamin franklin were alive today i'd take him to the dispensary and then hooters

Worth a read every year. But this year? For the 250th? It's scorching. Read it to you family or friends. Find a town square and read it out loud. Repost it. Nothing you hear today will frame this country better. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I'm not really here for the discourse right now in re: cheering for the USMNT. I'm going to be absurdly reductive and say that like anything involving this country in its 250 years of existence...it is complicated. And with that said, I'm going to touch grass. Be well, y'all.✌🏾

more talk about balogun than ballot box…this is whats wrong with society

It's all "ooooh we need a meritocracy" until the wrong people have merit and then it's like "oooh we need to protect us." Trans kids deserve a chance play in sports because EVERYONE deserves a chance to play in sports and nobody should lose that chance because they're disfavored by bigots.

good morning, Team Schism! if you enjoyed this thread, might you also enjoy supporting democracy by making me read JD Vance’s shit-ass book and joining me for a Zoom where I scream about it? $75 live hang with Q&A www.32auctions.com/organization... $25 recording www.32auctions.com/organization...

So close to getting to the issue, but also not comprehending the issue at all. Higher ed affordability is the issue. Not trans kids in sports. They just want to play with their friends.

I remember North Carolina having to back off its bathroom bill after a concerted pushback and its been wild to witness the wholesale abandonment since.

It was never about sports. We’ve been telling you guys for years. Sports were a means to an end. And here we are.

If you think you are reasonably informed from media coverage and you think the sports bans are fine and fair,I'm sorry to say but nearly everything you've heard on this issue from the anti side has been a complete lie. Yes even about Lia Thomas, the most lied about woman in America.

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

COURT REFORM NOW

Oh I remember this commercial. 😂

Huh.

People say stuff like this but never explain why: A) It’s destructive, or B) Why that’s a bad thing. So, @markzaidesq.bsky.social …walk it out for the class.

But the NFL is not compelled to hold a supplemental draft just because someone applies. The NFL also has to deem them draft eligible. Which the NFL did not in this case.

But the thing that needs to be said ... needs to be said Obama is not the virtue mule of democratic life you don't get to have a coke bender on fascism Then run back to Black folks when the eroticisim of white supremacy simply does not work out

As men aren’t we all Dick Advocaats of one type or another

The American Library Association is auctioning off a bunch of the classic celebrity “READ” posters along with a bunch of other full sized literacy posters. This is going to fix so many of my problems, I just know it. movieposters.ha.com/c/search/res...

The USMNT can't park the bus because our country lacks the funding for public transportation.

Ah. Lalas is at the USA game site. Of course. I saw the studio minus him and thought that they had mercifully freed Rebecca, Titi, and Zlatan. It may only be a temporary respite for them.

New York has a mayor who is earnestly celebrating Renaldo Balkman and Toney Douglas and Langston Galloway. Reality is melting.

The one thing I would say in ESPN's defense is that the NHL finals (featuring a team ending a 20 year drought) and the NBA finals (featuring a team ending a 53 year drought) were both taking place as the tournament started. Those are still going to be bigger deals (especially the Knicks).

Friends—here are about 55 literary journals opening for submissions in July—some are open now or will close soon in June or July. Genres, themes, & guidelines vary—dates are tentative & all these should be no-fee submissions. There are more resources out there, including on here. Wish y’all well.

Out on a run and came across a couple having a break up. The woman yelled that the guy cared more about “his YouTube videos” than her. Fully expected it to be some Andrew Tate shit until he sheepishly said “trains mean so much to me but you’ve never understood that”
