Absolutely devastating, instead of meeting the reasonable demands of the faculty the board voted to dissolve. As an alumni, EMF was an incredible learning experience and such a shame that young musicians won’t be able to have the same opportunity

NEW from me:

Several CBS News staffers and insiders told me that the network "is not a good place now" amid the imminent arrival of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief, who one source likened to Michael Scott of The Office based on her lack of qualifications.

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom

EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

I once got a 1 ⭐️ rating on Uber when I was in NOLA because my driver kept talking at me about how unsafe NYC was and I kept being like “no, it’s fine, don’t believe the news” and she thought I was rude and threatening her 🤷🏻‍♀️

that we have built an alternate media ecosystem in which every American city is an apocalyptic hellhole - completely unmoored from reality - and the political system has collapsed to the point that the president can use this fabrication to send troops against his own citizens is a staggering failure

Also before that was UK v France women’s basketball and it was the most riveting game I had ever seen. Neck and Neck the whole time and there is no greater rivalry than the British and the French. But on the skill level of your average Midwest high school varsity team if I’m being honest lol

During the 2012 London Olympics I went to see the women’s basketball USA v Argentina? (I dunno tbh) and by the second quarter the USA had a huge lead so it was basically just the bench players getting court time and executing perfect lay up and perfect lay up. Beautiful 🦅 🇺🇸 🦅

The only thing that makes me feel brutish American pride is watching our basketball teams absolutely annihilate everyone the Olympics

USA USA USA USA 🇺🇸

Micah @rincewind.run · 13d

twenty five years ago today, on September 25, 2000, the United States men's basketball team was playing France in the Sydney Olympics

with sixteen minutes left in the second half and the USA up 69-54, Vince Carter stole the ball

between him and the rim was 7'2" Frederic Weis

then he did this

Trying to pay Taylor Swift “in exposure” is absolutely insane lol

John W Clark @johnwclark.bsky.social · 13d

Apparently the NFL wanted her show for free, and thought the value of it for her was the exposure. The NFL has been getting free exposure from Taylor, just from her going to her fiancés games, and she is getting death threats for it.
