At long last, I'm finally throwing in the towel on Twitter and converting to Bluesky. Follow me at bsky.app/profile/tomlinsona.… for what's bound to be a bizarre mix of sports & science posts.

True story: About 20 minutes after the game ended, my husband came down with what we're assuming is norovirus. He was violently ill all night, but then this morning called me upstairs (I assumed for help), but it was instead to tell me that he and Skipper are one in the same:

Like, should Michigan have celebrated with the flag and tried to plant it? Probably not. Should the half a dozen OSU players then assault the Michigan player with the flag? Uh, I’m gonna say maybe that was the worse move, FOX.

Okay, FOX saying Michigan is at fault for… celebrating on the field? Why the eff aren’t these teams separated? Biggest rivalry in sports, most insane spread, and you’re blaming this squarely on Michigan?

I’m so incredibly proud of the @WashSpirit & this phenomenal season, despite losing Croix and others.
But omg they had to take on all of the Pride AND the refs in this match. Like what game were the @NWSL refs watching tonight?!
I love this whole crew & I’m glad this match is on CBS but like.. does anyone have notes on any players other than Marta and Banda? #NWSLChampionship
WHY ARE THE REFS ALWAYS WORKING AGAINST THE SPIRIT WHAT THE HELL #NWSLChampionship
How does pushing Santos in the face not constitute a “clear and obvious error” exactly? #NWSLChampionship

Diana O’Brien, a political scientist, worries that Trump’s victories over Clinton and Harris could lead to Democrats “convincing themselves that women cannot win,” she said. The attitude becomes, “We’ve tried this twice, and it doesn’t work.”

Watch how quickly the same exact economy we are in now becomes “the greatest economy anyone has ever seen in history” once Trump takes office. And all of his followers will instantly agree. Media will likely go along with it too.

It's not just that Trump won. It's that Joe Rogan, Dana White and Brett Favre won. Jailed insurrectionists won. The Alitos and the Thomases won. Vladimir Putin won. Racism won. Misogyny won. Sexism won. Global warming won. Xenophobia won. Most of all: Fear Won. That's what hurts.
Okay, since Smoltz is infamously a Yankee hater, can we NOW discuss how the Dodgers’ salary structure for Ohtani should be illegal? Or, nah, we’re going to keep pushing the narrative that the underdogs “with the lower payroll” won the World Series?
