It had to be done, even if others may have already done it @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @rodger.bsky.social @newap-georgia.bsky.social

whoops, today is apparently a "sibling kindness makes me choke up on the train" type of day

the mad emperor is fighting against the pope and started a war he cannot win in persia and we're supposed to believe we don't need history departments anymore

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

I will always think of that football-style inbounds play Michigan just ran as The Dan McQuade Play. It's one of my favorite college basketball blogs of his, and Greg Kampe is a great character. defector.com/greg-kampes-...

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally” Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

obviously i'm a bit biased, but i think russell martin's HR of cueto with the crowd going absolutely ballistic and cueto dropping the ball is one of the most memorable home runs in all of baseball in the last 15 years

I can't believe the "New Yorker" REJECTED this cartoon!

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

My grandfather played for UConn. He died in 1998. He never saw them make the Final Four. My father was behind the basket in 1990. He saw Duke deny UConn its first Final Four. I was behind the basket tonight. I saw UConn’s greatest win of all time.

Rickey Henderson, for sure. I had at least four different Starting Lineups of him

tired: talking about how Nebraska is like Indiana football bc they were never good and now they are wired: talking about how Iowa is like Indiana football bc they hired the guy who was an awesome coach in D-II and then was an awesome coach at a mid-major and is now an awesome coach at the top level

Dreams DO come true: my photo of the ICE teens spread so far divorced of context or credit that Snopes dot com had to write a whole story confirming that I didn't make it with AI. 🥲

Chappell Roan meeting her young fans, by Gustav Vigeland, early 20th century

Using the bottom-dealing sleight of hand I learned from watching all the Ricky Jay specials to flip multiple pages at a time when my kid picks some long suck-ass book before bed when she’s clearly too tired to pay attention

Winning back-to-back national championships is hard, unlike talking to women your own age. Todd Golden struggles with both though, apparently.

OOOOOO LAWD UMBC

Hoosier Daddy

There is a man at the ACC tournament screaming Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls while Stanford tries to shoot free throws

Pretty funny to work for an entity that can be abbreviated as BOFA and badly fall for a blatantly obvious trick

Finally, something Bruce Pearl and the ayatollah can bond over

Mr. President any thoughts on the outbreak of World War III “Jesus Christ would you shut up do you realize a guy from the G League briefly played college basketball?”

Dying at Ty Willingham flipping out here

Recall that Sen. Sheehy, seen here breaking the arm of a Marine veteran, was caught lying about being shot in battle during service in Afghanistan & then made up a new lie to cover the previous one. (He likely shot himself stateside in a national park, but still accepted a Purple Heart.)

@dangartland.bsky.social your SI piece on Rose Hill Gymnasium has been in my head for a year, so I’m driving down from Rhode Island to see a Rams v Rams game there on Saturday. Anything specific in the building I should seek out?

you think you've seen the whole movie, and then the alt text reveals you haven't even finished act two

happy 14th anniversary to all who observe

Excellent photo editor work here

Top right corner. Can't help but wonder if The Simpsons paid subtle tribute to Dan McQuade in tonight's set-in-Philadelphia 800th episode.

Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?

[walking past PNC Park today] i felt a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced

An underrated problem in us getting here: the dude who decided that it'd be cool if "million" and "billion" rhymed. Like if the word for 1,000,000,000 had been "fuckton" we probably could have dodged a lot of this mess.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

for those of you who dm'd me for ways to help dan's family everloved.com/life-of/dan-...

Me: "Wow it would be a dream if the Steelers could get Cignetti" The universe:

Elon’s plane touching down and Epstein turning off all the lights on the island to make it look like no one’s home

Also remember this and have a laugh. I think it was Dan’s favorite thing that ever happened.

Rest in peace to one of the great bloggers and the de facto mayor of Philadelphia. It was my honor and pleasure to work with him. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

“ICE told the whole world that i very rudely called an agent ‘Commander Dickwad’ and flipped him the bird and all i got out of it was free meals everywhere on earth for the rest of my life”

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else
