The further you dig in, the further they dig in, and the greater the space that divides.

Wow

@EricBalchunas He's been so good. The suspension might have even been a benefit, as he just seems to have a level of energy and aggression on defense I didn't expect heading into playoffs.

I was wrong about Paul George. I'll own it. I thought he'd disappear more in these type games (I saw it a lot when he was Pacer vs Bron). Even if we lose Game 7 he has been solid, playing hard D, rebounding, and his shot selection is good, acknowledges his role as 3rd or 4th option. Def upgrade over Tobias.

@zerohedge One has to work very, very hard to take any politician seriously.

Three best words in sports: Game 7 Win! LFG #Sixers

WANTED BOSTON ✅ BEAT BOSTON ✅

So meta.

@MattBelloni To be fair, previous Star Wars movies aren’t a great comp. Yes, it’s in the same “universe” (so to speak), but it isn’t a Skywalker-oriented story. It’s more expansion of the Star Wars dialogue, than it is an addition to the main story. Closest comps are Solo or Rogue One.

Mandalorian and Grogu is tracking for an $80M debut over the 4-day Memorial Day weekend. Compared to previous Star Wars movies, that'd be a disaster. For a theatrical movie based on a TV show, that's not bad at all.

@ERCboxoffice Sure, I'll give this thing a (big) shot: 1. Spider-Man: Brand New Day ($1.4B) 2. Toy Story 5 3. Moana 4. Minions & Monsters 5. The Odyssey 6. Mandalorian & Grogu 7. Devil Wears Prada 2 8. Supergirl 9. Mortal Kombat 2 10. Disclosure Day

Oh yeah, that time again, Box Office BIGSHOTS! Can you correctly pick the TOP 10 WORLDWIDE highest-grossing Hollywood films of the summer? If so, you'll be 2026’s B.O.B.—Box Office Bigshot. Fame. Fortune. Influence. Illusions of Grandeur. Will all be yours. To qualify, picks must be posted by Thursday, April 30th, 2026 @ 11:59pm PT. THE RULES: 5 points for every correct film in the domestic Top 10, regardless of placement. Then, an additional 10 points for #1, 9 points for #2, 8 points for #3…1 point for #10, etc. if you correctly guess the exact placement of any of the Top 10 highest-grossing films. MORE RULES: Totals are from films released domestically from the 1st weekend of May through Labor Day weekend. Grosses don't stop on Labor Day, though, as films keep tabulating until they leave theaters. So, winner will likely be announced in the fall. EVEN MORE RULES: Drop your Top 10 picks on the timeline before midnight on and be sure to include a tie-breaker, which is the dollar amount the #1 film will wind up with globally. You don’t need dollar amounts on the rest of the films, only your #1 pick. So list your picks like this: 1. RODNEY'S RAD ADVENTURE II: MONKEY BIZ ($1.526B) 2. UNTITLED SEQUEL 3. UNTITLED THREEQUEL And so on… Will there be a prize? I mean, maybe. Probably. But isn’t being the BOX OFFICE BIGSHOT enough? Trust me, it is. All your dreams will be fulfilled.

@whignewtons I've had that exact combo. Trick is, use the shot as a chaser. All good and powered up for the next day!

Turns out a book tour is a lot like running for president except less time in Iowa. But the #1 rule is: meals are random/infrequent — eat whenever you can and chug vitamin C! Tonight’s dinner is a 10pm tuna salad sandwich + turmeric from the Philly train station. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great take, as always. Unbelievably bad positions by NYC mayor.

@whignewtons 100%

What’s funny about all this gerrymandering talk is that we’re fighting over which party controls a legislative branch that doesn’t actually legislate anymore.

@SaraEisen Love your no-BS approach to interviews, observations and reporting. It ne of my favorites on @CNBC.

I asked Senator Warren why she campaigned with Maine Senate Candidate Graham Platner and called him “my kinda man!”… when he had a chest tattoo of a Nazi symbol, allegedly said people concerned about rape should “take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f—-ked up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to?” And also reportedly wrote “I dig it” next to a video online of Hamas terrorists murdering several Israeli soldiers cnbc.com/video/2026/04/…

Boom

@TampaBayTre This just means they are picking him

If I was David Bailey I’d be PISSED That’s one less free lunch smh

WBD needs to be acquired or split. If split, studio gets acquired anyway & networks still need a lifeline. Netflix isn't trying to save theaters & doesn't want networks. There will be job cuts (NFLX would've too). 30 films/yr? Probably not (nobody does). Will they kill HBO? No.

Crazy how fast this caught fire. Will leave judgement to others, but question is who will emerge as the new lead NFL reporter for The Athletic? Could they recruit someone in? Jeremy Fowler? Tom Pelissero? Judy Battista?

@WordOnTheBirds Exactly. And Hurts has been in two SB’s, with one title and an MVP. He’s not elite, but the Eagles have had some great success with him as their QB.

Adam Schefter on Jalen Hurts: “What I find interesting, and it's just some food for thought here, when we think about it as we go along, we've spent an awful lot of time talking about Jalen Hurts, right? And that's fair, I got it. Big deal, polarizing figure to an extent, but Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert did their contract two weeks after Jalen Hurts. Why isn't anybody asking why they're not extending yet?”

This is crazy #themasters
