This is what the Pacers do, come back in first games and win against good teams on their home floors. And it’s why the @ny-knicks.bsky.social firing Thibodeau was so emotional, reflexive and stupid. But then, that’s what Dolan and the Knicks do.

Well into the third round of the @nfl, draft, Shedeur Sanders is still waiting to be selected. This doesn’t pass the smell test. Smells a lot like collusion. What does it say about the league?

On this day 43 years ago, Howard University’s student newspaper, The Hilltop, published pictures of the 1981-82 staff near the back page. You might have heard of that year’s editor-in-chief, Isabel Wilkerson. And you might have read some of the staffers she led that year.

I’m a little late to this. Congrats to @propublica.org for winning the 2025 Taylor Award for Fairness in Journalism. Life of the Mother is a meticulously reported and powerful series and I was honored to be one of the judges who voted for it.

While everyone was focused on tariffs, Trump was busy crafting EOs to dismantle DC’s self governance. Out: Black Lives Matter Plaza. Back In: Confederate soldier monuments.

Move over “jumbo shrimp,” the meat industry has an even more ridiculous oxymoron: “humane slaughter.” @nickkristof.bsky.social

As I was saying about @newyorker:

He drugged, assaulted and raped multiple women. And law enforcement let him get away w/ it for years.

When a prosecutor began chasing an accused serial rapist, she lost her job but unravelled a scandal. Why were the police refusing to investigate Sean Williams?

Heartless just isn’t the right word. It doesn’t quite describe how callous this is. Besides, they didn’t seem to have hearts to begin with.

Michael Wilbon went in hard on his boy Stephen A. Smith over LeBron & Bronny James. Good.

Dude consistently says athletes who fail to make plays “wet the bed” and gets all in his feelings when they come at him. Saying a grown man “wet the bed” is nasty, mean and uncalled for, especially coming from a dude with zero athleticism. Thin skinned narcissist.
He literally lied & continuously made fat jokes about Zion & he never even considered apologizing for it
Stephen A. Smith is having a total meltdown right now on @espn.com First Take. Sad.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.
