Evergreen opinion.
Charlie Morton throwing a pitch right down the middle for a Juan Soto Grand Slam allows me to turn that mess off and watch Coco bs Naomi. #USOpen
Someone please kill me right now.

So many older viewers tuning into see Archie Bunker speaking up for Dems must have been totally confused.
.@velshi.com “Head in the sand”? Please. Part of the problem is limp news coverage that turns every Dem wobble into a five-alarm fire while treating GOP extremism as background noise. That’s what depresses our base.
👍 Good!
Is @velshi.com going to acknowledge this detailed thread or ignore all the points she made?
At this point, shitting on Schumer & Jeffries for doing the only damned thing a legislator can do, has been turned into a profit center. And as a Black person, I see anyone claiming progressive politics but doing this shit, as someone working against progress.
I mean this:

Why isn’t “Weekend at Donnie’s” trending? Bluesky is failing us.
😂😂😂
Prince would have been spending time at that point with his mother, who was in the hospital in her last few months as well. It was in that moment when he began some of his most consistent and generous acts of charity, supporting public good that in many cases is still thriving nearly 25 years later.
Prince kept almost all of his charitable giving private, but he told the staff that pledged the gift to “assist your library in reaching all areas of the community”. For context: this donation happened just days after 9/11, and took place only 3 weeks after his father had passed…
It’s wonderful that this video from Milwaukee’s Public Library system features a nod to a book on Prince, because he loved libraries. In 2001, he donated $12k to save the Louisville Free Public Library’s Western Branch — the first to serve Black patrons. www.courier-journal.com/story/news/l...

It’s a day that ends in “y”. You know what that means! Sh*t on Democrats Day! It’s the Dems fault! They don’t have a plan other than Trump is bad! This is exhausting.
No joke. It really was HBCU Day. The wroooong day.
Taylor is class personified. And she keeps receipts like she’s expecting to be audited…
Same (racist) Energy. They hate us because they can't beat us.
It was HBCU Day at the Open. She picked the WRONG day to try a Black woman.
I'm tired of these stupid @$$ unwritten rules. No apology needed for a lucky bounce. Don't get mad when the crowd favors your opponent. People have favorites. This isn't #Severance. Fans don't need to try to enjoy each player equally, and not show preference for any player over the other.
Why does somebody have to apologize for a lucky bounce? Placekickers don't apologize to the other team when a FG hits the uprights and still goes in. There's absolutely no reason to apologize for that. Ostatanko just mad that Taylor packed her up. #USOpen #TennisThreads #Ostapenko
The temerity of Ostapenko! She says Taylor was disrespectful because Taylor didn't apologize for a net cord. Saying it's a "rule". It's NOT a rule! GTFOH! 🧵 #USOpen #TennisThreads #Ostapenko
There's a video on X from a fan in the stands and Townsend's response to Ostapenko was "... whatever you want to say, but you can learn to take a loss better. Thank you so much, great job, great play"
Jasmine Paolini embraces photographer Ray Giubilo after he captured a once-in-a-lifetime picture of her during her previous match.
By "heated words at the net," apparently Ostapenko told Townsend she had no class, no education, and can't win outside the US. 😑 Trash behavior from Penko.
I've always had a soft spot for Taylor Townsend given how much hell she caught for competing while existing in her body when she started. What you're seeing is why misogynoir is the thing that brings people from all walks of life together. Happy and successful Black femmes ruin y'all's day.
ostapenko dropping the last set 1-6 and coming at townsend like that IN HER OWN CITY is crazy work lmfao
Taylor Townsend is about that Business Boss. Ostapenko put the hood on after losing to Taylor and here’s Taylor’s recap of what happened. #usopen www.instagram.com/reel/DN4B96y...
Stop asking if #they are ok with all of this... not sure what else folks need to see... #they support all of this & will continue to sit on their hands & defend it...while the party in the minority gets all the blame.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
SHE DID NOT CATER TO LIZ CHENEY Liz Cheney offered to CATER TO KAMALA and try to help her peel off a few white people who might be scared of a Black Lady. Because, unlike a lot of you doofus people, she knew how back Project 2025 was going to be.
The Venn Diagram of people who think there's a NFL conspiracy against Shedeur Sanders and think Jussie Smollet was telling the truth is *probably* a complete circle.
People REALLY don't know what a "lynching" is.

You don’t have to make whatever white guy was in front of a microphone today the 2028 presidential nominee. You can help with the 2025 & 2026 elections instead. You won’t spontaneously combust.
I’m willing to bet he confused Wes Moore with a can of Dinty Moore that spoke to him in an aderall induced haze.

“The energy was wild.” Benjamin Bonzi. Yeah. 🎾 #Tennis #USOpen
That Medvedev Bonzi match was bananas. B a n a n a s. And a certain photographer won't be able to sleep tonight. #USOpen #Tennis
There are reports that they did revoke his pass.
LMFAO. r/Tennis is just too fast. LOL 😭😆 #USOpen🎾✨️
Such a meltdown. An entirely bonkers match.
Bonzi: "I may have got some new fans but also some new non-fans ... thanks to all the ones who were booing, thanks for the energy in the 5th"
This Medvedev / Bonzi match at the U.S. Open. Night matches in New York.
Later the announcers said it was because the delay to the server waiting for the guy to leave the court was too long and unfair to the server. 🤷🏾♂️
I think the first serve should count because the serve wasn’t affected by the person on the court. It was after the serve. Giving Bonzi the 1st serve is acting like it never existed but it did. We saw it. IMO, the whole point shouldn’t be replayed when the 1st serve took place before the disruption.
Then that’s a dumb rule. The serve already hit the net and was bouncing away.

Elections are decided by near zero information voters and people think they’re decided by sparsely used word choices and I swear to god this place has gone completely insane.
A photographer walking on court between serves caused Medvedev to completely derail this match, this is 3 minutes out of 5+ including Medvedev looking at the courtside cam and telling us the chair umpire wanted to go home (which you can hear)
The noise delayed Bonzi from serving. Bonzi ended up losing the game and now Medvedev has taken a 6-5 lead.
Bonzi was serving at match point. Served into the net. Photographer walked onto court from the tunnel to get into camera pit. Umpires said 1st serve didn’t count. And gave Bonzi another 1st serve. Medvedev argued (rightfully) that it should be 2nd serve. He egged the crowd on & then they got rowdy.
Chaos. #usopen
THIS IS CINEMA #USOpen
Crazy! WTF was he doing?
Bonzi pissed as fuck. 😭😭😭 #USOpen🎾✨️
Him and this bag of chips! 😂
Madness at the Open!!! This Medvedev match went nuts! #USOpen
Best player in baseball turning haters into fans.
I saw a familiar face and stride run past my wife and I on our way to the farmers market. Sydney McLaughlin the Olympic,World Champ and World record holder looked like she was on world record pace. McLaughlin is headed to Tokyo for the WC’s in 2 weeks where she’ll probably set a new WR in the 400m💯
Serena Williams went 20-2 vs. Maria Sharapova. 8-1 in majors. Won their last 19 meetings. Yet folks still call it a rivalry... that's wild to me.
31 FOR 31 ‼️ (13m)
Robin Yount, as he so often does, stole the show. He described knowing Bob Uecker from 1974 until the day he passed, and how Ueck never changed one bit. "Right to the end," Yount said, "he told me he wasn't afraid of dying. He just didn't want to be there when it happened."

I see what you did Benetti with the “Mommy Dearest” reference to end the 5th inning. 🗣️ Faye Dunaway #Tiger #repdetroit #grittytigs @nottigers.bsky.social
TIGERS TAKE THE LEAD #RepDetroit
The @Tigers were down 6-1 in the 4th inning. They just took the lead in the 5th!
If you black and decide to join ICE, that should make you excommunicado from the black community off rip.
It's awesome how Jason Benetti called the Lions Pre-Season game then went across the street to call the Tigers game vs KC. Get you an announcer who can do both.
After a 16-pitch at bat, the ump screws over Dingler by calling a ball 4 inches outside a strike. *SMH* #Tigers

pretty good worm too

YKTTWA: 4 STRAIGHT EDITION ‼️
People are asking Dems to save them.... when millions took those saving keys away this past November.... I suggest folks start talking to the party in the majority.... well, try to......
Zach Mckinstry is who people thought Brandon Inge was. No. I will not discuss further. #Tigers
I’m done with it. They show themselves every single time. We had the best potus in my lifetime and that wasn’t good enough. Then they couldn’t vote Harris. They did this to our communities how dare they scream at anyone to fix their mess. They screwed it up so badly it’s going to take all of us.
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
I’m not watching any pre game shows this season until Michigan is in the CFP after another victory over Ohio.
*looks around* If you don’t like Gavin Newsome, then use that energy to endorse who you think people SHOULD be supporting. I’m sure they need it more that people who keep talking about him. A man like Donald Trump is POTUS. Let’s deal with reality and focus on what REALLY matters…
I’m disappointed in how many heads this God Tier quote response flew over.
