Not a chance am I drafting that coward who bailed on his team's postseason. Says he's finally ready to take up his cross and enter valhalla. I'll believe it when I see it

Ok i dont watch the NBA a lot, so I'm sure this was discussed earlier in the season, but the Clippers jersey ad of Visit Rwanda is, um, unexpected

Drop your crime-fighting Catholics:

my Used To Watching Men's Sports brain has been screaming "why isn't the fact that the back-to-back #1 WNBA Draft picks are teammates and A COUPLE?!? the biggest story in sports right now" but I can tell people who have spent more time around women's sports aren't making as big a deal about it

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

Noooooo I was excited for Flau'jae to come to the bay!

From @metzger.bsky.social, I am HOWLING.

Reaction = Priceless 😂

good.

Rory!!!!

WE GOT OLYMPICS TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I can’t help clean up right now I’m actually super busy

for reasons i can't describe, kyle schwarber's reaction to losing a challenge has been making me laugh for five straight minutes

The Royals accidentally went full bisexual flag with their new city connect uniforms, and I'm here for it.

what a complete shitshow the CA governor's race is, this state deserves better

California has a REAL gubernatorial problem. I was *probably* never going to vote for Swalwell anyway — he's opportunistically hollow, heir to Newson's "He Looks the Part <Shrug>" throne" — but the election is becoming wholly defensive, find a "safe" Dem to keep the GOP off the final ballot.

Unfortunately this doesn't surprise me. But also man there is no one better than the crop we've got running for governor?!?!? It is bleak out here in California

Two or three months ago I was like, "Man, there's no way I'm voting for a weird billionaire even if he seems decent enough by the standard of weird billionaires," but I'm voting for "Whoever Keeps Chad Bianco Off Of The Ballot" and if that's Tom Steyer, then M-O-O-N, that spells "Tom Steyer."

This is actually not the worst idea. Even under Biden they noticed that heavy gamers did the best on ATC testing. Which makes some amount of sense cause they've developed great hand eye coordination and tracking multiple things on a screen by gaming

The 5th & final book in the Leighton U series came out this week and guys its so good. I love all these boys so much 💗

The Big Ten has the reigning national champion in football, men's basketball and women's basketball.

HAIL TO THE VICTORS

Procedural cold open irl

Similarly, it brings me no joy to report that I realized the other day how many people born in 2010 will vote in the 2028 elections. I realize this is how time and math work, but it feels like a deep violence against me that they do.

😭😭😭

If you yell at a specific person, you have to say you’re sorry to a specific person.

FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.

Between The Pitt & Heated Rivalry there are some wacked out Fandoms right now

Ho. Ly. Shit.

I agree on both parts. But at least with Mohan the writing has kinda been on the wall this season, especially with the emphasis on her skills in geriatrics. Unlike with Collins where there were no indications in the story that she wasn't coming back

okay finally there is good news (please don't let this be an early April Fools joke)

My "We don't allow bets on assassinations and murder" ad campaign has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the ad campaign

Oh. My. God.

CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao

At some point in there, UConn missed 11 straight field goals. They’re up 11 going into the fourth quarter. Somehow, Geno’s being proven right about the terrible rims & basketballs AND his team’s kicking ass

"I'm a cop, I don't understand the law" is literally one of the most on-brand things I have ever heard in my life

the biggest surprise of the West regional: CBS using footage of San Jose coming out of commercials, even though the arena is like 5 miles from the 49ers stadium which exclusively gets stock footage of San Francisco

here's today's NCAA Tournament newsletter! the men's and women's hoops were good again this week

UConn has won 17 straight games in the Sweet 16 or later, a truly insane stat. Last loss was the 2009 Final Four. Since then, Huskies have four national titles and five first-weekend exits. A real land of contrasts.

omg have never seen a game-winner hang on the hoop as long as that Duke shot

HOLY SHIT THAT 3!!!!! DOWN GOES LSU!!!!

I will say it poured rain during my visit to KU and it was miserable and I ended up not even applying (But that was mostly cause they started doing the waving if the wheat by saying "you all know what to do!" And as a kid from California I in fact did not know what to do. Felt like a cult)

today's March Madness newsletter examines two unique late-game strategies from last night's games: —subbing out your starting center for a player who immediately gives up the game-losing rebound —subbing out your starting center for literally nobody, simply not putting in a player to replace him

🎉🎉🎉

Holy shit Sweet 16 is showing out already

This is essentially Legacies, which ruled for the first 2 seasons
