I can't believe he's basically trying to play the cancel culture card over a Nazi tattoo

lmaoooo the fucking illustration
As part of his efforts to build a true political coalition, Zohran Mamdani should put Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa on the municipal payroll and give them a weekly show where they spend six hours just riffing on whatever.
I’m gonna miss him in a way
So much of the semi-regular handwringing over Bluesky's growth seems disingenuous or lacking the necessary context. When it comes to sports, it was never going be as simple as flipping a switch and getting teams and marquee insiders here.
I thought Rapoport was posting here more frequently and sharing more NFL highlights. Feels like the shift is happening.
A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)

Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.
One of Stephen A.’s greatest skills after coming back to ESPN was that he knew how to push the boundaries without getting into real trouble. Now, he thinks he’s too big to fail so we’ll increasing get the unvarnished, uncut Stephen A.
Stephen A. making any serious attempt to enter the political arena will be like when Aaron Rodgers got outed as a Sandy Hook truther like 48 hours after he was floated for the RFK ticket
Stephen A. Smith’s pivot to political punditry is going as well as you’d expect
I can't really blame AP voters for using the path of least resistance with the preseason poll when we know even less about these teams than we did before thanks to all of the roster turnover in the portal
I know I'm being hopelessly naive here but I keep thinking we're going to have a physical media revival when younger generations discover it's intrinsically different to hold something in your hand or see it on display in a store
And the idea that everything is available online now belies the reality that movies and TV shows get dropped by streaming services all the time
We have an abundance of media available at all times, yet how much are people actually broadening their horizons? Are they watching something new or binging a comfort show/video? With music streaming, why listen to a full album when you can just jam out to the same songs you love over and over again
I grew up in a town where we only had big video rental chains, so I agree that video stores were more soulless than a lot of people care to remember. But I still think there's something to be said for manufactured scarcity and physically engaging with forms of media.
Someone doesn’t remember how badly going to a video store sucked, and just generally how much worse things were in the 90s-2000s. Oh, it doesn’t work perfectly? Sometimes they just didn’t have the thing you wanted. We live in an era of unprecedented media abundance and it’s has spoiled us rotten.
I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭
I trust Michael Jordan to provide penetrating commentary on the NBA's current stars and not spend 15 minutes talking about why he, Michael Jordan, was such a great legend without peer
NBC's NBA coverage so far boils down to "look at this cool shiny thing"
Looking forward to insights from a legend devoid of saying anything actually insightful
MICHAEL JORDAN'S DEBUT ON NBC comes on Tuesday.

Halftime coverage of Rockets-Thunder will be highlighted by a portion of an interview between Mike Tirico and Michael Jordan in the first installment of "MJ: Insights to Excellence," a series that will air throughout the season.
I still draw a distinction between fans openly trolling and antagonizing rivals versus teams doing it themselves. Official accounts should maintain some professionalism.
We moved on too quickly from the absurdity of Amazon buying the naming rights of the renovated KeyArena in Seattle and rechristening it as "Climate Pledge Arena"
Amazon's big server might be down but that doesn't mean I can't post my charts showing how fundamentally bonkers their energy consumption and associated emissions are :)

Fun fact: 2 years ago they stopped sharing their total electrical energy consumption, cool!!!

One thing I felt really good about coming into the season was that Bo Nix is on the Mac Jones career arc
