26 years old from South Sudan. He has been in the US since age 13, when he was recruited to the country for basketball. Now being discarded as if he was human refuse. Shame on Syracuse for not intervening. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/04...

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread: Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.

This is catastrophic.

Every human ever, alive or dead, is in this picture. #ArtemisII

YouTube should just get rid of comments on live streams. Totally useless.

To the youth seeking to understand the news collapse, I say: read theory mattdpearce.substack.com/p/the-simple...

PHENOMENAL job by UCLA defensively. That was a master class. I think SC was tired and thought they won the title Friday night especially after seeing that ugly UCLA-Texas game. But UCLA was ready. They earned it. #ncaawbb

For the first time in 53 years, humans are actually heading to the moon. TLI was the real acid test here. Even more than launch in some ways. They passed it and they’re on their way.

In the wake of Black & Gold Banneret’s demise, I encourage everyone in #UCF land to follow Bryson Turner and his work with SI’s UCF site. He is carrying the torch: www.si.com/college/ucf/...

Not gonna lie, as a space geek I thought I’d be way more excited for Artemis 2 than I am. A first manned test flight going around the moon seems unnecessarily risky. Feels like a stunt. Hoping I’m wrong.

Happy Don’t Look at The Internet Day to all who celebrate

However they do it, I think the lottery should be held *during the draft* instead of weeks before. Talk about TV drama.

@mattbrowncfb.bsky.social So at this point, is the NCAA just throwing its hands up and waiting until some form of federal legislation passes regarding transfer eligibility/rev sharing/NIL/(waves arms around) all of this? Because they might have to wait rather a long wait.

Man that hurt. 5/16 from the line and at least 10 missed layups will not win you an NCAA Tournament game. But zooming out, this was a successful season. 21-12, NCAA at-large, Ws over KU, TX Tech, TCU, @BYU, A&M and Pitt after replacing 100% of last year’s scoring. That’s a great season.

#UCF fans, today is the day. CRANK IT TO 12 AND PUT IT ON REPEAT youtu.be/IQ225YTI0zQ?...

Let us share our favorite Chuck Norris jokes. RIP.

I'm noticing a lot more interviews with players at halftime rather than coaches in the NCAA Tournament coverage. I prefer this.

Seems not great for farming in the medium to long run.

Does anyone remember an ad that Dickie V did back in the 90s for a shoe company where they had him as the voice inside a player’s head, controlling him like a robot? @awfulannouncing.bsky.social?

TURN IT UP

This quote pretty much sums up 2026: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

we are losing so much talent, progress, and hope for no good reason www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Man. Finally we catch a break. Now we get Arizona tomorrow.

I like the idea of the LED court in theory. But the fact that these are, at their very base, TV screens is causing a lot of problems with reflection at the angle the main camera is looking at it. I'm sure it looks cool live but on TV it looks a bit dull. It's a work in progress for sure.

Early observations on UCF: - Riley started cold but that dunk helped. - Cincy is making Themus' life absolutely miserable. - Cincy started hot but our close-outs improved after the first timeout. - Thiam wants to end us in the worst way.

Joe Lunardi on UCF’s bubble stakes today vs. Cincinnati:

I don't want to hear anyone complaining about coaches not wearing suits "like they did back before COVID." You're just mad about the lack of style, not professionalism.

Shout-out to the Pulaski Skyway! Every day is #PulaskiDay if you have to drive between Newark and Jersey City.

So this is *not* the first time an F-15 has been shot down. Two were knocked out on the first night of the Gulf War in 1991 by Iraq (one AAA, one SAM). Also since these were apparently friendly-fire anti-aircraft incidents, the Eagle's *air-to-air* combat record remains unblemished.

Lunardi is an absolute sicko.

Hold up. We walk into Provo for an 11 p.m. ET tip as 14.5-point dogs, without our leading scorer, proceed to shoot the lights out, out-rebound them, drop 97, lead by as much as 36, are now 20-7 and 9-6 in the toughest conference in America, and suddenly the story is, “Well actually, BYU is bad”? 🤬

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Look, the USA Hockey team is full of guys who I think are totally full of crap outside of hockey. But I root for the US because I still naively believe the things I was taught about it as a kid. And I also love the Olympics because it’s literally the last joyful thing the world comes together to do.

What is the funniest possible plushy they could hand out to the losers of the Stanley Cup finals? Would it be the mascot of the winning team? Izzy from the ‘96 Olympics?

Man I’d hate to be one of those little stuffed animals they’re giving the Canadians right. Ow. They look PISSED.

SOLAR BEARS MENTION IN THE OLYMPICS

Go Devils

This hockey game is just the most phenomenal single exhibition of skill maybe in the history of the sport. I’m not exaggerating.

My God this Gold Medal Game is being played at a FURIOUS pace.

Case study in enshittification.

Bobsled: 1; Colin Jost: 0. 😅 #WinterOlympics

The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

Man, when you go on any community group on FB or literally *any* post on X, the sheer volume of AI-powered reply bots is mind-blowing. I estimate maybe 1/8 of all interactions on either platform are by actual humans and that's probably generous.

I’ll say this: There is no better TV analyst of *their particular sport* than Johnny Weir in Figure Skating. @awfulannouncing.bsky.social

More people need to be talking about this.
