Got to see the monks pass by as they walked through Arlington on their 2,300-mile Walk for Peace this afternoon.

This is near the end for them, as they will be in Washington tomorrow, before heading into Maryland for a bus back home to their monastery in Texas.

Maybe it’s not extreme.

Maybe we should follow their lead more.

For most people, the pandemic days of masking are behind us. In certain corners of the Winter Olympics, though, things still look a lot like they did in Covid times. Some athletes are taking extreme measures to stay healthy. n.pr/4akK70l
Olympic Covid restrictions are gone, but some athletes still self-quarantining

They literally added Jason Myers so you can actually vote for the true MVP!

@ NFL get on Bluesky so I can yell at you for being cowards for not letting me vote for Jason Myers for MVP!
February 9, 2026 at 2:55 AM
Sorry but I don’t like the Cadillac F1 livery. Way too Mercedes-like for my take.

Stefon Diggs? Quick to anger and throwing a punch at somebody?

I’ll hold my tongue.

The kickoff rule isn’t perfect but it actually is way better than the previous status quo.

The NFL doesn’t let you vote for rightful Super Bowl MVP Jason Myers and this is anti-kicker discrimination!

It's cool that they brought Mike Tyson on to tell us to stop eating processed foods and start eating ears.
February 9, 2026 at 1:36 AM
The man best known for eating an ear just promoted healthy eating for some MAHA group.

Can’t make this stuff up.

There’s two types of people in this world: people who love Brandi Carlile, and people who don’t know enough about Brandi Carlile.

A lot of people are gonna be moving categories tonight.

And the women’s team:
- the daughter of Chinese immigrants who rebuffed an aggressive campaign to get her to skate for China
- the daughter of an Italian immigrant embryologist mom who named her after a Michelle Pfeiffer character
- the pansexual daughter of a Texas cop (who is her biggest fan)
This year, the U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Men's Team is represented by:
• the son of Ukrainian Junior World Champion skaters in Florida who like Papa John's
• the son of Russian World Champion skaters in Connecticut
• the son of Uzbek Olympic skaters in Virginia

That's what makes America great.
This year, the U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Pairs Team is represented by:
• A Japanese and Chinese Hawaiian
• A Michigan guy (You'll notice a trend here)
• A Hong Kong and Taiwanese Texan
• A Japanese American and Army soldier who is studying to become a chaplain!

That's what makes America great.

This is very much the tweet of an alum of the Georgetown Chimes.

(Fun fact: a video he did for them where he played Han Solo was the subject of one of the first ever attack ads against him, back in 2017)

Early nominee for sanewashing headline of the year.

Should Dems speak more about health? Yes.

Is the “MAHA boat” that USA Today refers to here one anybody should get on? Unless you want to get scammed by snake oil salesmen and a case of the measles, no.

Amber Glenn ought to take two things:

1) All the time she needs.

2) A bow.

Personally, I’m ashamed I have to share a country with people who will threaten anyone, let alone someone representing our country at the Olympics, for speaking out against injustice. 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈

So many athletes have spoken out.

But arguably the most vocal team in 21st century American sport, the US women's national team, has gone silent.

What gives? Well... @838carlisle.bsky.social has the most interesting piece I've read this morning.

Take a look:
