A guy from Portland trying to figure out if this is the place that gives me enough sports and current events content to get me to leave the other app.
Outstanding week in Eastbourne for Eala, but this is really going to sting. You could see it on her from the handshake and during the ceremony. Four match points.
These losses either build character or create scar tissue next time you're in that situation. I'm betting on and hoping for the former 🇵🇭

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

Gavin Newsom just gave a strong speech laying out the stakes for democracy in blunt language that too few powerful Democrats have been willing to use. I know the huge problems with him. But at this awful moment, playing the "Sorry, he's dead to me" game with Democrats seems an unaffordable luxury.

I wanted Alcaraz to win this all time classic and am happy he did but fucking shout out to Jannik Sinner for not crumpling into a corner and calling it good after that 4th set and going down a break in the 5th. I know I would've #RolandGarros

Probably not gonna matter but what a ballsy hold from Alcaraz from triple match point down #RolandGarros

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

Musetti is playing, and especially serving, over his head. And Alcaraz is having one of those erratic days. The formula for an upset is brewing.

housing affordability is one of the few issues where i feel like the median lefty is just wrong in their diagnosis of the problem.
I genuinely don't follow what point is being made here. Vacancies in New York are low because there isn't enough housing! This building is very expensive because ... there isn't enough housing! Where is the tension? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/r...

yes. they literally blame higher education for a social order that doesn’t give unquestioned deference to people like themselves
I do not think people are actually seriously calibrated for how rabidly anti-university the MAGA right is and how core that is to their policy goals. It is probably the #2 issue after immigration for them, and for some of them it’s higher.

How extreme car dependency is driving Americans to unhappiness
A car is often essential in the US but while owning a vehicle is better than not for life satisfaction, a study has found, having to drive too much sends happiness plummeting

Part of me wants Djokovic to win because it would be funny if his 100th title came at a 250 that nobody is seriously paying attention to, 1 day before a slam.

I remember a time when statements like this would trigger a million think pieces about cognitive decline
Trump: "The drug companies are very worried that they're gonna fight. And that's ok. If they fight, we'll just say, 'We're just not gonna let you sell any more cars into the US or wine or liquor or alcohol' or something that's actually way more important to them than the drugs."
