perhaps bad for the negotiations, but the end of this period gerontocracy is what the league needs.
NBA in the thick of their biggest broadcast rights negotiation ever and they're about to have no LeBron no Steph no KD for two months of playoffs games.

The Biden campaign just responded to Trump announcing that he is going to “Sneaker Con” tomorrow. ”Donald Trump showing up to hawk bootleg off-whites is the closest he’ll get to any Air Force Ones ever again for the rest of his life.” inquirer.com/politics/electi…

"The Joni Mitchell comeback train keeps rolling," @mikaelwood writes of her #GRAMMYs win. “I don’t know what to say about this,” Mitchell said. “We had so much fun at that concert... Even the audience sounds like music.” latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

Good questions brought up about Ted Leonsis' ownership of the Wizards, the sweetheart deal he asked for and got for practice space for his basketball teams, and the scapegoating of the mayor possibly being low-hanging fruit

Great video starring @Ali_Christopher by @MorePerfectUS on why public broadband is needed now more than ever & why states should ensure that public networks get a fair opportunity to access the $42.5B for broadband deployment.
NEW: What if you owned your internet company? The Biden administration has authorized the biggest public investment in broadband in U.S. history. But now Comcast & Verizon are fighting to get their hands on the money. America needs them to lose, and public-ownership to win.

Here's another stat worth sharing - turnout among women <30 in Franklin County, OH (Columbus, Ohio State) increased by 20% in the abortion rights vote last month, relative to last year's midterm election, while overall turnout declined by 5%.
In case anyone needs more evidence that abortion rights is the most potent mobilizing force in politics: Turnout in Ohio's election this year (with abortion rights on the ballot) was 95% of the 2022 general election. Turnout among women under the age of 50 was 113% 2022 levels.

Thursday from @AroundtheHorn: there’s something that Theodore Leonsis will never understand about what it means to be a sports fan from the District. So, I brought along someone who taught me what the meaning of community really means.
