Dear Legal BlueSky: It will be my mission, in part, to convert you into becoming a fan of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

If you are #Spurscurious, welcome!

If not, also welcome, but may I suggest muting the following words: Spurs, Tottenham, COYS, Ange, and Sonny.
Wow, the #Raptors really blew that one. They had a huge lead over the TWolves and wasted it.

Is RJ Barrett trying to get traded?

And now Mark McMorris taken off of mountain in a stretch tonight after a training crash.

Oh no.
Major news — Mark McMorris has to be stretchered off the slope after a major crash in training for snowboard big air.

He’s at his fourth Olympics at 32-years-old and is a medal favorite.

No update on his status from the COC or Snowboard Canada.

Thank you Pep Guardiola for using your platform.

Governments killing, displacing and dehumanising millions across the world want to make us think it's normal.

But Guardiola is right.

We can't look away. And we cannot accept it.

The bloodbath at the Post is the worst day in US media in quite some time. Hundreds of talented journalists laid off because a billionaire wants to curry favor with an authoritarian president.

I think people should actually read more about tribal politics because there are a lot more complicated economic debates and far fewer ghost dance remixes than white progressives seem to assume

According to FOX 9, a Minneapolis federal judge demanded to know why DOJ is missing deadlines & AUSA Julie Le said, "The system sucks, this job sucks" & asked to be held in contempt so she could sleep.

PACER shows she got assigned to defend the govt in 88+ cases since Operation Metro Surge started.

It's light now of course in Ukraine and the tidying up has begun. Attempts at repairing the heating system have long been underway.

Remember Trump boasting about an energy ceasefire for a week? "Peace talks" resume tomorrow.

Kyiv is currently -18c, other cities in Ukraine broadly the same.

The power plants which exclusively supply heat to Kyiv, Kharkiv and Dnipro were all hit. In total eight regions were struck in Russia's sickening attack.

In Kyiv around 1,200 tower blocks are again without heat.
