If we ever have an accurate accounting of American history again, Lindsey Graham will be remembered as a pathetic coward if he’s even remembered at all

Dylan Cease has been one of baseball's most durable pitchers for years, and you can probably give him more than a week's rest until his next start if you want. Eury Pérez has been injured a lot and was just coming off an injury. I don't think the comparisons we'll see are quite right.

lightning I've never asked very much from you but tonight I have a few favors to ask

@offcolorbrewing.bsky.social you’ve done it again!

since Dan Campbell brought in Hulk Hogan to hype up the Lions: - crashed out of the playoffs in Div. round after 15-2 season, bye - went from 1st to 4th in the NFC North - Terrion Arnold, first round pick/starting CB, reportedly arrested for robbery, kidnapping

Mamdani's speech at the Knicks parade was easily the best I've ever heard at an event of that sort. I posted the whole thing on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. Highly recommended.

Mitch McConnell will receive a level of medical care he has spent his entire career preventing other Americans from having

the broad strokes of the deal haven’t really changed and it’s been iran and oman get full control of the strait, iran gets tens of billions of dollars in assets unfrozen, fighting stops, the blockades end, troops withdraw, and sometime in the future they might discuss nuclear material

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

most Americans are decent people we just spend all our time elevating the worst of us

The fact that the Cubs shelled this raging homophobe on PRIDE night in San Fucking Francisco is just icing on the Gay Wedding Cake. 🤌

They heard someone who has committed especially heinous crimes is in the building

I keep having to be reminded that a core tenet of Trumpism is intentionally telling impossibly obvious lies, and enjoying making everyone else deal with them.

It’s like Iran On your wedding day

With Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation, the U.S. has opened up a $3 million in cap space that might be used to address a number of needs across the cabinet.

Alex Caruso really wasted the final years of his 20s on Arturas Karnisovas’ Chicago Bulls

A few months back I wrote this in the newsletter as a tribute to Jason Collins after he detailed his battle with cancer. Never had the chance to meet him, but he impacted my life in a lot of ways. Rest in peace.

Rest in peace to Jason Collins, an unthinkably brave person and incredible leader for the LGBT community. Over a decade later and his coming out column is still an astonishing piece of writing. Wish the sport had caught up more and that he could have lived to see it.

Are we sure Louis DeJoy isn’t the postmaster general still? #mailfail

Beloved former Braves manager Bobby Cox has passed away at the age of 84. Here's the team's message on social media

The Cubs are the first team with 3 straight walk-off wins since the Marlins in June 2024 last time for the Cubs: June 18-20, 2009

SCOOP: The F.D.A. blocked the release of studies finding that Covid and shingles vaccines were safe. In the case of Covid, FDA staff had to withdraw studies heading toward publication: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

I wrote about the surprise drop of "Gary," what it means for the story of the series, and why FX and Hulu might have chosen to release it this way:

SHAFT

What an evil piece of shit. I cannot wait to take over.

Headlines saying this Supreme Court decision "curtails the use of race" in voting are going to make me have a stroke. It empowers white supremacy. It does not curtail the use of race.

I can't believe this. @normcharlatan.bsky.social you're a Minnesota Legend, my man.

Michigan won it all. The celebration never really came. I spent time this week w/ Dusty May to get an up-close look at the reality of what it means to win an NCAA title—and why the portal is muting what should be the peak of his career. Fascinating transparency from one of the game's top coaches.

Yes, live streaming this is pretty great

In head coaching terms, this is the point when all the reporting would start to include a reference to his contract buy-out.

What a fucking shot holy shit

This is Pulitzer shit right here.

honestly this clip of Dan Hurley's parents yelling HOLY SHIT in unison is the most romantic thing I've ever seen

truly, nobody is feeling more vindicated this week than airport dads

ICE at airports? They're like middle-schoolers at their first school dance. ➡️Not sure what they're doing there. ➡️Standing around talking only to the friends they came with. ➡️....Likely to cause trouble pretty soon.

Gasolina

This is dope.

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

THREAD: Weirdest athlete/president combos from Leaf’s bizarre President’s Day set Dominik Hasek/Bill Clinton

it’s so cool how the whole country is run by weird grifters like the dad from little miss sunshine now

I don’t care what they say this is a good website

this is ruining the bit he meticulously scheduled with tweets but gotta admit it’s hilariously on brand
