Truth is, Jalen Hurts deserves quality and humane healthcare whether he’s a Super Bowl champ or not. Good healthcare shouldn’t need a qualifier — and that includes employment. Hope this helps.

I am quite enjoying this SEC Survivor Series.

Golden opportunity missed for the Dream. Those last few possessions were a tough watch.

Dream players gotta be more deliberate on screen & roll. Offense looks great when everyone is moving, but when players are picking up their dribble near the key? It’s a mess.

Angel Reese gon be hell in this series. Running the floor, playing with physicality. And her energy is contagious.

Shaping up to be the best day of college football this season. Texas and Indiana have already hosted a couple of thrillers.

Indiana needing a toe touch TD to en route to winning a national championship and losing today on a toe touch blunder is poetry. Bad ball by the QB though. Buckeyes cheat death.

We found Wu-Tang's infamous 1-of-1 album, "Once Upon A Time in Shaolin" — once purchased by pharma bro Martin Shkreli — and played it for Method Man (and you) for the first time.

'As the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries prepare to face each other Saturday for the WNBA championship, Dream star Angel Reese models a story of persistence that finds echoes more broadly in the league itself.' -- @differencemakin csmonitor.com/USA/Society/20…

This is an unequivocally false statement. Players inside and outside the organization have repeatedly issued complaints with the Fever Fanbase. While it’s not all Indy fans, it’s certainly a trend. To say the attacks have “no basis in reality” is disingenuous.
Fever GM Amber Cox defended Indiana fans after the criticism they faced throughout the postseason.

These folks can't do shxt with Angie. Not the GOP. Not centrist Dems. She's here to stay.
I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

Rich people send their kids to $60,000/year private schools, then vote to defund public education. They don't want school choice, they want their kids separated from yours. Segregation is the goal. "Choice" is the language.

Saban on Gameday at 10:50a: “Protect College Sports! Thank you Trump for saving college sports!” Saban at 11:50a: “If I were still coaching? I’d do whatever it takes to convince [MSU QB Kamario Taylor] to get in the Portal” Yup, that about sums it up 👍

They shut down the only school left in the Lower 9th Ward and want to take it over to build a new Cop City for NOPD to train with the military. #StopCopCity has come to New Orleans.
New Orleans police, EMS look to turn this vacant 9th Ward school into a training facility nola.com/news/crime_police/n…

It’s not lost on me that individual WNBA teams are going above and beyond to send the Connecticut Sun out in style when the league itself has barely acknowledged the team Still don’t think we’re mad enough at the fact that the first Native-American owned sports franchise was stolen from the Mohegan Tribe and gifted to Tilman Fertitta for pennies on the dollar You know, the guy who essentially paid for his ambassadorship to Italy by donating millions to Trump

Under capitalism if you steal from your employer you go to jail but if your employer steals from you then you need to win a class action lawsuit to get back what they stole, and they suffer zero consequences. Capitalism is all about using state power to protect capital by force.
Since 2023, more than 200,000 Dashers in New York City were underpaid or paid late under the City’s delivery worker pay rules. These errors were unintentional, but that doesn’t make them acceptable. Dashers should be paid in full, on time, every time. We take full responsibility, and we’re deeply sorry. We’ve reached a $131.5 million settlement with the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Every impacted Dasher will receive the amount they are owed, and they’ll be contacted directly with payment details. We understand the impact of even one missed or late payment. We’ve addressed the issues that caused these errors and made changes to prevent them from happening again. Read more here: about.doordash.com/en-us/new….
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
theguardian.com/us-news/2026/s… The City of New York asserts this was not a mistake. “For years, DoorDash failed to count every hour worked by delivery workers,” Mayor Mamdani said. “This was not a rounding error or an accidental mistake.“

The Bucks nearly starting a nationwide wildcat strike is unquestionably the most important moment in the NBA in the 21st century, but Obama & LeBron & Adam Silver worked extremely hard to make it disappear
