ESPN Bet to come to an end Dec. 1

Effective Dec. 1, ESPN Bet will be no more. Nearly two years after its branded online sportsbook first launched, ESPN announced that it has mutually agreed to terminate its partnership with Penn Entertainment. Come Dec. 1, Penn’s online sportsbook will become “theScore Bet,” as the two sides exit what was originally a 10-year $1.5 billion Read more...

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus.

Opinion | Democrats’ election wins showed they don't need to hide their support for trans rights

Republicans repeated Trump's anti-trans strategy from 2024 and lost big. This should be instructive for Democrats.

If the 2025 edition of the Blue Jays was a special group, will be interesting to see if the club’s free agents are willing to take less money/term to come back to Toronto, starting with Bieber.

All would agree this has been an exhilarating run for the Blue Jays and a tremendously fun season

No matter what happens tonight, they have made fans happy. Enjoy it and most of all enjoy the run because they don’t happen very often

Sports is supposed to be an escape, this has been a great one

FINAL: Blue Jays 6, Dodgers 1

The Toronto Blue Jays will head home with two chances to win their first World Series in more than three decades. Rookie Trey Yesavage, in his eighth career start, struck out 12 in seven brilliant innings. The Dodgers' offense is simply destitute.

The Trump regime used misleading footage in videos promoting its immigration agenda, including clips from unrelated operations and mislabeled locations. These videos, widely shared on social media, have been viewed millions of times and have contributed to a distorted public understanding of events.
