It was an emotional postgame presser for @HUMensBB as Bryce Harris and Ose Okojie shared their final thoughts about Howard HC Kenny Blakeney and how's changed their lives. Their answers are almost ten mins long (which obvs speaks to KB), but here's a little snippet:

i hate when people say america has no culture bc how do you explain march madness to a non-american ??? this shit is electric

My household will be a sports household. We will go to stadiums, we will go to fan parks, we will support local school sport and we will wear all sorts of sports regalia !!!

what it feels like to be in SF right now

The biggest game of the first round is on Friday, when Long Island battles Arizona for iced tea supremacy

The hottest summer I ever spent was a winter in San Francisco

@sethsetse Just watched Project Hail Mary there it was awesome

one of the perks of living in SF is AMC Metreon 16, literally one of the largest IMAX screens in the world i saw Dune Part 2 there, it was the most amazing movie experience I’ve ever had if you’re watching a true 70mm 1.43:1 IMAX film you need to go there, nothing else compares

@alexiskold So good

I have to say that Red Rising by Pierce Brown is like 1,000x of a better saga than Game of Thrones. It’s insanely good.

baseball not war

I’ve seen all the baseball I needed to see in 2026. This tournament has been incredible. Banger game after banger. Long live the WBC. How anybody goes from this to Reds/Diamondbacks game 137 I have no idea.

I've been flabbergasted for the past 20 years why there hasn't been universal consensus we need to get off petroleum as fast as possible. What other conclusion was possible after the 2000s? Conservative Rs should be arguing this loudest of all.

News organizations should not allow themselves to be intimidated by @POTUS or his apparatchiks at the FCC or the DOJ. The standard by which they are measured in a democracy can never be whether presidents approve of their coverage.

Our mountains, rivers & forests are the best things about America. It took an heroic struggle to keep this pristine wilderness from being deforested and turned into cheap hotels. But we’re governed by people who value profit over life itself. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
