New:

On 1xBet, the strange and shady company which has become rapidly more visible across tennis in 2025 despite *many* reasons for tours, tournaments, and federations to steer clear of its mess.

Lots of odd details here, free for all to read at Bounces:

From @jespermyrfors.bsky.social, The Dark set art director over on Facebook:

“The Magic: The Gathering release The Dark was 100% a commentary on the evils and hypocrisy of bigoted right wing Christians…”

Some cards for context and the set list:

Both of these are true:

1. Fonseca is over-hyped
2. Fonseca is a great tennis prospect

Musetti is top 100 level on hard courts, top 10 on clay and grass. Like Casper Ruud with a slice backhand

I’d love to see what my parasocial pals @getplayedpod.bsky.social think of The Summer Hikaru Died - I’ve never seen a queer horror anime before but I’m loving it! So far it seems to be exploring growing up queer in a small town, using horror to show the contrasting feelings that come with that

This rules, and also makes me long for a Book Swirl from @cinemaswirl.bsky.social though I can’t imagine Sam reading more than 1-2 pages of LOTR without throwing the book on the fire
Making my way through LORD OF THE RINGS for the first time and I will admit to being charmed by how Tolkien goes out of his way to explain why the hobbits have tobacco but says nothing about why there's fireworks but no cannons.

It's Transgender Visibility Day.

Transgender people, like everyone else, deserve to have healthcare, legal recognition of their status and protection under the law. They are on the front line, being used as a wedge to attack all minority groups, and deserve our support.
