Well done Naomi! Go win it all! #USOpen2025

Naomi is playing very consistently. Coco seems to be losing some confidence. #USOpen2025 #OsakavsGauff

I’m going to have a hard time in this match between Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff. I like them both and I hope they play well; but I’ve got to go Coco.

I love the latest moves by the @vikings.social bringing back Adam Thielen and also adding veteran Carson Wentz as the back up QB.

The shooting in Minneapolis, MN is heartbreaking. It is almost comical to see the responses attempting to use the phrase “Thoughts and Prayers” which is the usual non-response. Citizens need to demand an active resolution.
Randy Staten (@randystaten.bsky.social)
Another Mass Shooting. This time in Minneapolis, MN. I can envision the "Thoughts and Prayers" coming in, but of course no talk of gun reform. This is a sad and this is shameful that we continue to allow this in our society.

If the shot misses, there’s no damage. Look up what the bullets from military assault rifles do upon contact.

It felt staged from the beginning. A bullet even nicking him from that range would have caused more than a nick. The raised fist, Secret Service all around him. This was another show.

The amount of “tailoring” of the truth that this administration is imposing upon American society is bordering on Nazi propaganda or what you see in China. @espn.com has recently been compared to a reality show. Now it’s just another lackey of orange dictator.

America has a history of wanting cheap labor to justify profits; while discounting the people. This is not only racial as when you look at black, Asian and Hispanic workers; but also a class component when you look at the call centers in America and other countries.

So 850 officers made 23 arrests. That’s about 37 officers for every arrest. Seems about right with the Barney Fife-ness of officers I’ve seen. #47isajoke

@jemelehill.bsky.social On your podcast regarding Comprehensive Man; your take that men do things and act certain ways to attract women was spot on. The conversation on men in “Emotional Captivity” is much needed. Keep doing what you do! I love your work.

No I believe that many Democrats representatives are still trying to fight for the citizens, while maintaining work relationships and making agreements. The GOP is cut throat and will simply not be budged at times. Democrats need to be more forceful I agree.
Randy Staten (@randystaten.bsky.social) reply parent
It has been a very long time since there was equal footing or a Liberal Judiciary. The difference is that Republicans will do anything with no regard if they are in power, while Democrats try to work across the aisle.
Randy Staten (@randystaten.bsky.social)
America forces citizens to fund the lifestyles of the rich; who amass fortunes off of the backs of the working class. To think that the US is forcing out immigrants who do jobs that the average person would not. America is not just tone deaf, but knowingly blind to these atrocities.
Randy Staten (@randystaten.bsky.social)
America has simply rebuilt the system of aristocracy that it fled in Europe. The rich have little regard for anyone outside of their circle. It’s a shame that what was supposed to be a democracy is simply furthering the divide between the haves and have-nots.

Of course, there are many Democrats who have the understanding. Though the party’s ability to stall any of these measures is countered by the Republicans holding the majority all of the branches of government. The blame is on those who voted for 47 or didn’t. It’s at all.
Randy Staten (@randystaten.bsky.social) reply parent
You’re preaching to the choir, Senator. Many won’t admit that a cut to Medicare would be extremely detrimental until it affects them or someone near them. The current administration is clearly and unashamed about robbing citizens to provide tax cuts for the rich.

Anthony Edwards 3/15 is worst than the 4 points he had in game 4 at halftime. He definitely hears the critics and he’s only proving immaturity.

He shot 35.4% from three this year. In game 7 he went 5-9 from the field and 1-2 from 3 for 20 points. Christian Braun had 19 points as a role player. My point is that shooting from distance negates his size, rebounding and the ability to draw fouls.
Randy Staten (@randystaten.bsky.social) reply parent
No you’re making my point. Jokic makes himself into a big guard or forward by operating at the perimeter. A forward guards him and the big now has a mismatch on the boards and can stay home to defend the paint. Also less chance of creating fouls.
Randy Staten (@randystaten.bsky.social) reply parent
This is the era of empty, artificial numbers. Look at Westbrook, Embiid and Harden. They’re not historically great. Jokic has more MVPs than Dream, Shaq, Dwight Howard, Mourning, Malone, David Robinson and Ewing put together. Every one of them gives Jokic the business.
