Tampon Gino is the guy who walked out of the bathroom and whacked Tony Soprano in the finale
Just saw automated text on a video that spelled Dan Bongino as “Tampon Gino” and I don’t think I’ll be unseeing that.

Visiting my aunt and uncle in Tucson for two successive springs was enough to radicalize me on the merits of the “Dark Sky” designation
Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

I love the pirouette he does to dodge the second egg
Best yet, we got video of Luis Rubiales getting hit with eggs by his uncle, Luis Rubiales

If only that parent hadn’t been homeless. All of this could’ve been avoided
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

More, not
Less
Sports

It’s right there in the league’s name
You know what I’ve always thought, there needs to be more sports on Saturdays and Sundays in the fall

Fans love attending cold weather events that aren’t American football games right?
BREAKING NEWS: MLS owners have officially voted to flip to a fall-to-spring season, aligning with top leagues around the world, per @paultenorio.bsky.social.

The league will begin play in the new format in 2027.

It’s going to be funny when JD Vance runs as the incumbent in 2028, having orchestrated Trump’s impeachment, and Trump is still alive to run as an independent against him

Having "Trading Places" and "Beverly Hills Cop" come out by the time he was 23 is insane
It’s easy to forget the breadth of Eddie Murphy’s career because he’s done *so* much, but in the first two minutes of #BeingEddie there’s a brief rundown of his accomplishments that make it clear: there’s no other entertainer who can match the combined weight of his scope of work & cultural impact

I'm a sucker for a case-of-the-week procedural, but the second season was a case of diminishing returns for me. I wouldn't mind a third season, yet I don't know how much I'd actually miss the show.

Political analysis from the former communications director for Jeb!
👇👇👇👇
Imagine if Dems in the Senate hadn't caved. The House wouldn't be in session rn, the discharge petition wouldn't be signed, people wouldn't have SNAP, govt workers would be RIF'd & the GOP would have some decent talking points. But also online rage addicts would be happier! YMMV!

Donald Trump being underwater with antisemites would be hilarious
on the other site, a magnificent post of extraordinary proportions

I'm surprised he's able to maintain such a strong audience when roughly 40% of his show is him openly seeking pity

i know a lot of people have valid concerns about the mods here but you simply cannot be mad that they don't allow death threats lol

This is one of my big fears when a lot of powerful leaders in the union are "stars," and I think you've seen in the NBPA across multiple CBAs. The players in line to earn a max salary might focus on that at the expense of their peers lower down on the ladder.
A lot is worth reading in @theixsports.bsky.social Daily today. But uhhh this STANDS out.

"...multiple sources tell @theixbasketball.bsky.social the overall salary cap increase on the table would not keep pace [for the middle class] with proposed jumps in rookie and max salaries."

I know the general audience for golf is much different compared to other sports, but I think having Donald Trump's granddaughter compete in an LPGA event is more counterproductive than anything else

The NBA needs to pack it in with the All-Star Game. How many different formulas are they going to keep trying
So to sum up the All-Star Game selection process this season:

24 All-Stars
12 from each conference
Positions don't matter
16 US players
8 World players
2 US teams
1 World team
8 players per team
If there are not enough US or World players then Adam Silver will select more to fill out the teams.
Looks like NBA just revealed the All-Star Game format this season. Two teams of American players and one World team. Same selection process for the All-Stars but they will not be picked based on position. So positionless All-Stars selections.

Watching him throw the game-winning touchdown to beat Eddie George’s Bowling Green reaffirmed why I root for Kent State
just caught an 89 yard TD

The thing with Project B is that the entire concept looks totally unsustainable, even if you remove the moral question of Saudi Arabia's role in the whole enterprise

I guess I shouldn't be shocked by this because the WNBA still has so far to go in order to make All-Star Weekend feel meaningful. And that might be a futile effort anyway when ASGs across the board are losing relevance.
The Sky were the only team to bid for the 2026 WNBA All-Star game, sources told me. The WNBA recruited Indiana to host in 2025. The Aces hosted 3 of the 4 All-Star games before 2024.

Why has there been such a disinterest in playing host? And is that changing?

Why Do So Few Teams Want to Host the WNBA All-Star Game?
Despite the league's broader success, only one team bid for 2026, and the league asked a team to host in 2025.
