Hell of an effort by Islanders in a 1-0 shutout of the Oilers in Edmonton. Ilya Sorokin gets the shutout.

Have suggested to @bsky.app folks that increased engagement in sports is valuable. As a longtime sportswriter who regularly used Twitter (and eventually got hacked on X and said screw it), sports talk works and should be a big part of the equation. Just make the tent bigger.

Congrats to a great journalist, a great human, and a great friend! Fantastic run, Neil. And best of luck in your future endeavors!

Congratulations to longtime friend and colleague @neilbest.bsky.social on an absolutely fantastic 40-year career at @newsday.bsky.social. Terrific writer, better person. And look. Even Eli Manning is impressed!

Terrific storytelling here about a player whose impact resonated on - and especially off - the field. Bravo @lalbanese.bsky.social. ⚾️ ❤️

With President Trump demanding that the Washington Commanders go back to their previous nickname in exchange for the team building a new stadium in Washington, DC, it’s worth noting that the JFK administration threatened the team’s stadium lease in 1962 unless they integrated.

Rooting for this guy. Well-told story, Gauntt.

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨

Congrats and best of luck, Timothy! Newsday will miss you, but hope you rock on in Beantown. 👏 ⚾️

It’s Cinco de Mayo. It’s also Stinko de Flyo. Happy day!!

Love watching the Edmonton Oilers play hockey, but if they don’t get a true No. 1 goalie, then Connor McDavid will join Dan Marino, Ted Williams, Charles Barkley and other sports greats who never won a championship.

Fall back, baby!!

On this day in 1947, Jack Roosevelt Robinson bravely walked through that door and changed this country for the better. Here’s my painting of the great man at Ebbets Field, August 28, 1949.

Oh wonderful. 🤦‍♂️

What a joke. 🤦‍♂️

Having grown up loving Canada and its people, this is just sad. 🇨🇦

Excellent piece on the (“who knew?!”) 40th anniversary of Air Jordans.

C’mon, man.

RIP to a one-of-a-kind talent. 🙏

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Documenting the courage of Katharine Graham www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... This is why we were all proud to work at the Post - what the paper once had and has no longer.

Woohoo!!!! 👏 👏

Can confirm. Former USAID here, and I’ve been approached twice in the last 30 days.

A member of Russia’s state-owned news agency gained access to the Oval Office for President Trump’s sit-down with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky – even as the AP and Reuters were barred from the high-level meeting.

Going live on YouTube at 2p ET to discuss what happened with Joy-Ann Reid, where that leaves journalists, especially Black journalists in particular, and where we go from here. Taking your questions! youtube.com/@itsjemelehi...

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

RIP to one of the most versatile announcers of this or any other time. Equally comfortable covering NBA basketball or Olympic curling.

👏 👏

All members of the press should unite to defend Associated Press - and by extension, America’s freedoms

Here’s another one they can take off the shelves. 🙄

Only one player on the planet scores this goal.

"We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now," said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at the University of California, Berkeley. "There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal actions in the first 18 days of the Trump presidency. We never have seen anything like this."

Ultimate example of a guy who never gave up. No one more deserving of getting to the top.
