Queen Sydney. Staggeringly good!

So impressed by her whole journey this season, taking the challenge of attacking a different event and foregoing a gold medal certainty. You love to see a great athlete find ways to stretch herself.

47.78, sheesh!

Unbelievable. I am SUCH a huge fan. Wow!
ANNA HALL IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!

At the Hypomeeting Götzis, she closed out her heptathlon with a 2:01.23 personal best in the 800 meters (and the fastest in heptathlon history!) to score 7032 total points & is now ties for No. 2 on the all-time list with Sweden's Carolina Klüft!

Happy Opening Day!

It will be very strange - and sad - to witness this season without my good friend Bob Uecker. His legacy lives on, and my fandom of @milwaukeebrewers.bsky.social is a reflection of that.

But no matter how many bad things are happening, baseball is there to help us through it.

So a PhD student on a legal visa is arrested by masked federal agents without notice and is sent to a detention center over 1000 miles away, because... of what she wrote?

Beyond awful.

Also, sheer hypocrisy by the supposed anti-mask, anti-cancel-culture party.

The university was told that the student’s visa had been terminated, its president said in a late-night email to students and faculty members.

Shocking.
Elon Musk might be cutting government spending, but not on his own projects — billions in extra federal money is likely headed toward SpaceX, thanks to policy changes that will make the world’s richest man even richer. A NYT investigation examines the Trump-era shift toward SpaceX

Elon Musk’s role in the White House allows him to cancel contracts and influence policy, potentially benefiting his companies. Supporters say he has the best technology.

I watched two speeches by North American leaders yesterday. One showed great care and compassion for the American people, and one did the exact opposite.

Yes, folks: We live in a world where the Canadian PM Justin Trudeau cares more for the American people than our own President does.

The situation:
-Bully beats up kid.
-Bully's friend offers to help, but ONLY IF he gets something in return (i.e. extortion)
-Bullied kid says "Can't you just make him stop?"
-Bully's friend (also a bully) says "You're in a bad position! You need to thank ME for helping you."

I'm absolutely petrified watching what's happening right now. That godawful display today by Trump and Vance was embarrassing, scary, and pathetic. I was actually moved to tears of sorrow watching that. I feel so much for Zelenskyy and Ukraine. He showed grace and patience.

What can we do?

You guys need to see this and take it in…

Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

In 2016, maybe one could argue that people "didn't know."

But now...what can be said?

Everything that happened yesterday...Is that on the narcissist who sits on the throne, or is it now on the millions of people who put him there? The people who ignored the disturbing evidence, against all logic?

Summers just got a lot colder.

Bob Uecker was a treasure. So funny, so full of life, and so full of love for the Brewers and for the beautiful game of baseball.

Everyone loved Bob. And I mean everyone.

I'm gutted by this news. I'm going to miss him so much.
Legendary Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker has died at the age of 90, the team announced.

A moving, "living" tribute. Worth every minute and every tear shed.
Dick Van Dyke is the focus of Coldplay’s latest music video, “All My Love.” In a clip, Van Dyke sings, dances barefoot and offers meditations on aging, family and love.

A shorter version of the video will be released Dec. 13 on Van Dyke’s 99th birthday.
