hai guys

For those of you who will see this man for the first time as DRC-Congo takes on Colombia in the World Cup, the history of the man he represents: Patrice Lumumba, is worth your time to learn. ➡️https://andscape.com/features/afcons-real-mvp-refuses-to-let-us-look-away-from-patrice-emery-lumumba/

your regular reminder that the antipasto salad IS the invite.

Some of you children will never know what it feels like to have “Oprah, Uma - Uma, Oprah” as a protomeme for years

this is a throwback to such a specific era of late night tv that made me fall in love with it as a genre of show. Constant non sequitur callbacks to amusing names is just plain funny and they werent too good for it, ever haha

Adding "Lu Dort" to the list of things that David Letterman would yell at Paul Shaffer at 12:23

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Din Djarin should have died. I will not be taking questions on this matter.

So are we talking about Mandalorian & Grogu yet? Because I have a reasonably hot take from a storytelling standpoint.

If you have seen the new Mandalorian & Grogu movie and want to discuss it, message me privately. But if yall others ask me some dumb yes/no question about recommendations/reviews, I'm blocking you.

argue with your incel friends. #MayThe4thBeWithYou

Happy Star Wars Day, kiddos. #MayThe4thBeWithYou

TIME FOR MY FAVORITE THING OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY, ALWAYS KIDDOS: JOURNALIST RIDING A HORSE FOR THE INTERVIEW WITH THE WINNING JOCKEY

just stellar reporting from the best in the game.

Leading up to Selection Sunday, UCLA claimed its 31-1 record had a stronger foundation than Connecticut’s 34-0. The bracket-makers didn’t agree. Three Sundays later, the Bruins made the ultimate case in the championship game: www.inquirer.com/college-spor... via @phillysport.bsky.social

n airports/airplanes all day. Ask me anything. Must be about Miami, Florida, tho. #AMA

everyone should read this piece Clinton wrote about Everett Fitzhugh and the Kraken. Especially if you're a Kraken fan and want to feel good about the team and the choices they've made about their future as an organization.

column: with the sport of hockey under a microscope following the Olympics, remind yourself that at least one NHL team (@SeattleKraken.com) and one guy – Everett Fitzhugh – are trying to do things the right way. andscape.com/features/eve...

column: Tony Clark's shocking resignation from MLBPA is about far more than just a scandalous affair, which is the most disappointing part of all this. andscape.com/features/ton...

Ain’t no one else in @clintonyates.bsky.social lane or on his level when writing thru a lens like this andscape.com/features/ton...

(solemnly) duvaaaaaaall

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

did I just hear this polish man figure skating to Snap's "I Got The Power"??

elle no longer has to worry about keeping it cute for disney and is letting the choppa sing!

What a week it was, kiddos.

if you're into this kind of thing, the winter olympics opening ceremony just got underway

Honestly really glad our friend Tim Curran isn't here to see this day for our paper.

Pouring one out for WaPo sports, which directly gave us Pardon the Interruption, Around the Horn, and one of the baddest to ever do sports reporting, @clintonyates.bsky.social The WaPo sports section was so seismic in its work that it closing down should be considered an institutional injustice.

every big NBA trade is like "we sent Washington every player we have and got ten dollars"

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

paper boarding pass fell out of my jacket in the airport. person tapped me on the shoulder and said hey you might need this. didnt think twice and just turned and said thanks. had been a long time since I did an actual double take in public. it was Becky Hammon.

He keeps every story I write in boxes in his home. He calls me to ask if I know when my stories make it on the front page of the sports section. It’s an honor to be part of the @postsports.bsky.social team. Always have felt that way but especially today.

People ask me what my favorite part of working at The Post is and I often tell them my granddad. A native Washingtonian, he’s an avid sports fan. When I was hired in 2021, it was a full-circle moment for my family. Serving local readers like him is a privilege. #SaveThePost

it's really a shame what's happening to @postsports.bsky.social. Proud to have been part of such a legendary outfit for the time that I was.

Also, that game stunk before there was any snow on the ground lol

My grandfather would have turned 100 next week and I wish I could print this @clintonyates.bsky.social column up and mail it to him. Balanced and thoughtful as always, but with a finely-honed point that cuts to the core of this nonsense like no one else could andscape.com/features/mar...

column: Nike and LeBron James should be ashamed of themselves. andscape.com/features/mar...

This is not AI. This is not parody. This is real. Good lord.

This is the kind of idea you joke about with a friend as an example of what companies are like on MLK Day. The fact someone actually did this is WILD

we have completely lost the plot with the marketing of the legacy of MLK. Column soon.

what a lovely view. #AFCON

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — US judge rules federal officers in Minneapolis-area immigration operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters.

If you're on the west coast, this is your reminder that the AFCON third place game is Satuday at 8a. This is also your regular reminder that Third Place Games absolutely bang in international soccer tournaments.

Incredible. As your writing was here. Thanks for sharing this incredible piece. Not to often a piece can make you feel most of your emotions but this did.

@clintonyates.bsky.social did not have to go this hard but he did- for the culture. This piece is worthy of highest awards- contextual sports writing at its finest but equal belongs in Foreign Affairs journal.

This is a phenomenal piece of writing; it deftly weaves the tournament, the history of Lumumba and Africa as a whole, and the man responsible for honoring him together into something truly remarkable.
