RIP John Burns, perhaps the last of a generation of swashbuckling, straight-from-central-casting war correspondents who ran to the sound of the guns and filed exquisite copy at the end of the day. A spendid tribute by @cowellcnd.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/w...

Albert Pujols is managing Team Dominican Republic. Could an MLB team be next?

The sky over Oakland is doing some wild things right now.

Spent a couple of days in New York with Alysa Liu. Meeting Harry Potter. Ducking paparazzi. Popping a collar or two. The life of the Olympic gold medalist figure skater is quite a whirlwind! www.nytimes.com/athletic/710...

"We have been here for nine months,” wrote the 9-year-old. “Please get us out.” "I miss my bear," the 5-year-old said. In letters & drawings, the longest-held family at the Dilley ICE detention center describe it as "slowly killing us on the inside." www.texastribune.org/2026/03/11/e...

Ondřej Satoria, whose fastball is around 78 mph, pitches a remarkable 4 2/3 shutout innings against Samurai Japan, the best team in the world. Pavel Chadim bows and the crowd erupts. As he leaves the field, he turns around to take it all in. His national team career is now over

When David slayed Goliath. 5'8", 165-lb electrician Ondřej Satoria strikes out Shohei Ohtani on three pitches. Fastest pitch: 79 mph.

Team Japan and the Tokyo Dome give Ondřej Satoria a standing ovation after his incredible performance in his final career game for Czechia

I truly don’t know how this is the case, but my cutie little medical foster I posted a while ago is still up for adoption at East Bay SPCA. Someone go snap Cerulean up!

“I’m just glad that I could bring Oakland to Milan.” — Alysa Liu The new face of figure skating, and the swag she brings to the new era. www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

So the women’s team only inspires the next generation of girls to play hockey but the men’s team inspires all Americans, got it got it got it.

Since you guys seemed to appreciate this, here’s a video of the pups enjoying Nazgûl’s unscheduled participation in the cross country skiing event.

Olympic highlight in this house.

Yes we absolutely can

From @theathletic.com: Alysa Liu came out of retirement in 2024, but didn’t return to figure skating for Olympic medals. But for personal fulfillment. A display of empowerment. Seemingly impervious to pressure, Liu was at her best when it mattered most. nyti.ms/4c0NsUM

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

From @theathletic.com: “They wouldn’t bring me all that way not to play me, right?” Canadian teenager Macklin Celebrini went from wondering if he would play to scoring four goals through three games in his debut Olympics. nyti.ms/4qIU7Xx

Happy President’s Day to the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama!

Not sure how to enjoy a perfect snowy day? Check out how giant panda Xiao Qi Ji does it. Rolling and running through the snow, and even striking his skillful "kung fu poses" on a tree, Xiao Qi Ji let his energy run free and made the most of his snowy playground. #ChinaSeen #winterfun #wintervibe

The last 3 minutes of Bad Bunny's halftime show. There is so much to unpack here. The power line workers. American citizens being left without electricity because America writ large can't take the time to pay attention and act. And even so, love and blessings extended to all. #SuperBowlLX

The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

We are all the worse off for the loss of these foreign bureaus and reporters who brought news from the rest of the world to American homes. You can probably trace a direct line from the lack of knowledge to current issues facing the rest of the world, to growing xenophobia in the U.S.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

When Bezos bought The Post he reveled in the goodwill it brought him. He flew a reporter detained in Iran home on his private jet. He consoled Khashoggi's widow. Today, his Post laid off reporters in war zones.

Lopping off much of the Washington Post - particularly its esteemed sports section - days before the Olympics and Super Bowl is an emphatic way for ownership/management to tell the public that journalistic failure always was the plan

really wild and heartbreaking to see the layoffs of so many amazing reporters at WaPo

🚨 Excellent News 🚨 A wild Amur Tigress has been filmed with five cubs in tow in the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park. “It's the first time that a mother with five cubs has ever been filmed in China,” said Stuart Chapman, Leader of WWF’s global Tiger program, Tigers Alive. “China’s

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Bill Foege was a public health legend. His loss is profound, particularly at this time. That he died at the end of the week in which the US withdrew from #WHO & the chair of ACIP mused about whether polio & measles vaccination are still needed — no words. www.statnews.com/2026/01/25/w...
