Angel Reese is going to own the Atlanta sports scene like nothing since the Jamal Anderson era Dirty Bird. Also Pete Hegseth is an open white supremacist and we normalize is cruel, dumb, rapist, war criminal fascist-ass at our peril. Separate thoughts, but.....are they?

So who’s making the “I’m gonna beat Geno’s ass” t-shirts? He really went after her and the result is that Geno is diminished and the Dawn Staley legend just grew a foot. The takeaway is clearly don’t fuck with North Philly.

"I don’t really be on social media. I don’t be on Twitter, because that is a toxic app. So I couldn’t tell you, honestly, but I’m going to say: for athletes, if you play sports, or women’s sports, stay off Twitter. Because those people are crazy on there."

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months.

Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs.

Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food.

Placed in solitary.

Denied medical accommodations.

They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

There was once a time when the Washington Post had a sports page. One of my top 1% favorite columnists was Mike Wise. So thrilled the Wise-Guy is riding again! About LeBron James, his unprecedented career, and the measure of greatness (also STFU Geno. Apologize & move on) www.ms.now/opinion/lebron-james-nba-record-wins-kareem-abdul-jabbar

So Geno threw a fit because Coach Staley didn’t shake his hand pregame? And yet there’s footage of her shaking his hand pregame? Oh shut the fuck up Geno.

Hoops is a players’ sport. Only a small number of basketball coaches are more additive than players. Only a small number could beat you with their players or your players. Dawn Staley is one of those coaches. And she would’ve won with UConn’s players. And that’s why Geno threw a shit fit.

Perplexing that Trump’s acting AG choice to replace Bondi for failing to cover up his Epstein file rape accusations is Blanche, whose failure as Trump’s defense lawyer in the face of E Jean Carroll’s rape accusations resulted in a judgment that Trump is a rapist.

Trump offers no such pressure to be Gandhi or King or Ali. Just a smiling brand... And now Woods has had the kind of fall from grace that mirrors our current culture: rife with performance enhancers, opioids, depression, and decline.

Doing a pod w/a film savant on films hat *either* poorly reviewed or ignored. I limited myself to gangster films made in my lifetime. I chose a movie that starred two eventual Oscar winners, two future nominees and one Golden Globe winner. Forgotten wunderkind director, Irish mob. You know it?

Billy Joel was an amateur boxer. "We Didn't Start The Fire" contains references to three boxers: Sugar Ray Robinson, Sonny Liston, & Floyd Patterson. But in this boomer panorama, there's no mention of Cassius Clay or Muhammad Ali. There's gotta be a funky backstory here. I'm going to crack this case

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.

If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.

Everyone give this a share after.

Pictured is anti-trans avatar Kristi Coventry, head of the IOC. I spoke to Harrison Browne, the first trans pro hockey player, about what Coventry’s ruling to ban trans athletes and “gender test” [their phrase] women, ultimately means www.thenation.com/podcast/society/eos-03302026/

I love that Caster Semenya is going to make it plain no matter the political winds. Fucking principles. Worth having.

FIFA’s two rulings on Israel-Palestine managed to lie about basic facts while issuing a light slap on the wrist to Israel for violating core anti-discrimination principles. @edgeofsports.bsky.social & I spell out what it means for the 2026 World Cup @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/society/fifa-israel-rulings-complicity-world-cup/
