@robynjournalist 6 hands down. Drinks and laughs would be mega. 3 if that one is full because she’s the greatest but I fear I’d fan girl for 8 hours

everyone lock in

@cmclymer Thank you.

I cannot wait for the time to come when this self-absorbed coward will permanently exit public life into a tarnished + thoroughly mediocre legacy that will haunt him for the rest of his days. /thread Full essay version available here for easier sharing: charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/in-praise-of…

We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements. Over and over and over. (thread)

@henryhalliswack @peacock Better commentary. Women commentator for women’s bike races. Better commentary in general. Make replay available right away. Show post race interviews. Show the flower ceremonies and don’t make us go to another “channel” to watch podiums…

@joanhan @peacock Why though? How could it be better?

Dear @peacock your Olympic coverage is a disaster and your streaming is even more embarrassing

@aldentanaka @peacock Good idea !!

@neverstraysfar Born ready

Are we ready?

Rider health and safety needs to be primary. #GirodItalia

@LukeRowe1990 wins the broadcast with “that’s gravity for you”

Kudos to @GeraintThomas86 for handling the post TT interview with such class and composure. I would certainly not have been able to be so calm. It’s a long Giro. I have faith you’ll bounce back like the classy champion you are

@StreamOnMax two days in a row the sound in live broadcast of @giroditalia craps out. Do better.

@BenjiNaesen Very relieved that it wasn’t far worse.

Realtively great news for Vingegaard, "only" a broken collarbone and multiple broken ribs. I feared much worse. 🙏 #Itzulia2024

@neverstraysfar The pod is constantly great and my absolute favorite.

@dog_rates @dog_feelings @15outof10 @dogfather You are such a good human. Up in the stardust Doug is wagging at you

Since Doug's passing, I've been contemplating the best way to honor him specifically and purposefully. Adopting a senior dog was the most rewarding experience of my life, so I figured we could start there. For the month of February, @15outof10 is covering the adoption fees of all German Shepherds over 1 year old in Los Angeles County shelters, through a partnership with @LACoAnimalCare. Right now, that is 76 dogs, affectionately known as Doug's Buds. If you are in a position to responsibly adopt a dog, it would mean the world to me if you started your journey by considering them, the oldest and the wonkiest ❤️ For those of you nowhere near LA, you can search for a Doug's Bud in a shelter near you, and submit them for consideration through the link underneath this tweet. We will also cover their adoption fee and add them to our page of Doug's Buds. For now, this is limited to German Shepherds and German Shepherd mixes over the age of 5 (wonky ear is just a bonus, not a requirement). Throughout the month, we will be featuring individual Doug's Buds as an extra push to help get them adopted. And *fingers crossed* sharing adoption photos of the Doug's Buds who find forever homes. Thank you so much for giving us a platform to do things like this. I miss my boy so much, and to help find his friends some loving homes would be very, very cool.

This is a call to arms

I really enjoy @SteveKornacki on football

@SportsOrla Their poor children. Heartbreaking

How absolutely horrific. My heart breaks .

@MrAndrewCotter Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night

Current scenes. Night all.

@Pflax1 That's an excellent ear flop you've got there Gingerbread! Those are some lucky humans that got you!

In the span of six days, my little friend Gingerbread will have gone from a kill shelter in Coachella to our house…to a permanent home the day before Christmas Eve! What a week for this sweet puppy!

Oh GCN+ I miss you

@SadhbhOS That’s a lovely read

This is my last interview feature for Velo. I spoke with Matej Mohorič about dealing with the death of Gino Mäder, the impact it had on him, and that emotional Tour de France interview. I hope you like it.
