I can't stress enough how little I care about Sinner/Swiatek having contaminated samples with trace amounts of banned substances. The ITIA needs to focus on finding real cheaters. This is a waste of time and a blow to the sport for no reason.

Have not opened the article yet, and it might well be it’s decent, but framing it this way is not good journalism. It’s not even decent journalism.

RFK Jr has zero legitimacy to talk about healthcare, and framing his concerns as valid is incredibly concerning.

more apt metaphor is you had a favorite local bar that got bought by a shitty racist owner who openly solicited a shitty racist clientele that ruined what you liked about the place. you being virtuous in that space won’t make it less shitty or racist, just find a new bar
So I just posted this on Twitter & asked for views on it & the BlueSky exodus? Isn’t it just ceding ground to Musk? Zelensky didn’t pack his bags & decamp to Poland. Tell me why I’m wrong.

A quick social experiment.

The same tweet, posted at the same time on here and on Twitter, commenting on @joannahs.bsky.social’s brilliant piece on the exodus of criminal barristers.

Bluesky replies on the left.

Twitter on the right.

Bluesky is *extremely* Anglo-sphere dominated, which makes sense cause anti-Musk sentiment is a lot more prevalent in the US and in other countries where it’s easier to understand his impacts. Not sure how Bluesky can make significant inroads in LatAm/Europe/Asia in the short term.
