With the Alcaraz news that he’s out of the grass season (including Wimbledon), it’s worth nothing that even if you took out all of his ranking points from Roland-Garros and the grass season right now, he would still be 2500 points ahead of Zverev. 🎾

BREAKING: Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from Wimbledon. Tough to see him missing both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Hopefully he’s healthy for the U.S. hard courts. ❤️‍🩹

Thank GOD there is no Reform majority in Sussex. I’m still utterly disgusted that they have such a large number of seats. Why on earth are people determined to encourage intolerance, racism, xenophobia, the destruction of the environment and hastening of climate change 😤

Your vote is precious. Today millions of people across Wales, Scotland and England are voting in the hope that their choice will improve their lives. I hope it will. Politicians are asking for your vote; it grants power and removes it. Use it and remind them never to take you for granted.

Voter ID is voter suppression

Happy 50th anniversary to “All the President’s Men” — a film that owes its existence to Redford, who bought the film rights, developed the script and cajoled a reluctant Woodward & Bernstein. I thought it was “a great character study,” he said later. But, for months, “they didn’t return my calls.”

Me: *carefully curates an extensive playlist* Me: *skips song* *skips song* *skips song* *skips song* Me: who put together this bullshit

To add to the chorus of WTFs, here's the score and the absolutely insane winner/error differential for Medvedev. 3 winners 27 unforced errors Berrettini only had to keep it positive to double bagel the former #1.

i called my senators and rep using www.5calls.org and told them to use every tool at their disposal, and that i don't care about gas prices and i don't care if we have to endure hardship locally, they have to stop this
