Blue skies Smiling at me Nothing but blue skies Do I see Bluebirds Singing a song Nothing but bluebirds All day long Never saw the sun shining so bright… Blue days All of them gone Nothing but blue skies From now on

@Twidoit @espn I agree with much of what you said but the @espn app is crap. It not intuitive at all. Invariably I have to restart a game because it doesn’t start when it is supposed to. I have to search and search for my favorite teams’ games which should have been recommended from the get go!

@espn The app is amazing I love being able to watch every UT game, but the presentation & layout are ass. Why do I have to skip past sheep sheering, competitive lawn mowing and ring toss just to find a baseball game?

@Vol_Baseball is the run rule in effect for tonight’s game?

@_Cainer hey Eric is the run rule in play tonight?

@benmckee14 do we have a run rule in effect tonight?

A "treasure trove" of music, going back more than 40 years, is now available for free online. Adam Jacobs recorded more than 10,000 "early in their career" concerts, from bands like R.E.M., The Cure and The Pixies, just to name a few. A group of volunteers has been cataloging, digitizing and uploading all of his videos.

@bakerthebroker @Literarity @BBGolfSurferOK great thread

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

@Santa_Vol @Vol_Baseball @josh_elander SWEEP Baby!

I was given this 2011 Topps card signed by Josh Elander to use for one of my giveaways. After this weekend it seems like now is a good time to give it away! Comment "Sweep" to be entered in the drawing. Winner will be announced tomorrow afternoon. Good Luck God Bless Go Vols

Hey #RallyCap can’t help that you don’t start the series until the season is half over! #GetYourPeanuts

@Kurt_Steiner Wish MLB.com knew as much and respected this map so I would have @Cardinals coverage instead of the Braves!

One of the odder American maps.

That time in 2001, when Jack Buck honored Harry Caray AND trolled the Cubs fans at Wrigley Field all within 1 minute and 21 seconds. Chip Caray, who was the Cubs TV broadcaster at the time, sure seemed to enjoy it! @ChrisCaray @StefanCaray

@ExposingClay Good god these people are so stupid. No wonder the country is in such deep 💩

CLAY: “I just don’t see a world where they can actually shut [the Strait of Hormuz] down.” BUCK: “Wait, you don’t see a world where they can shut down the Strait?” CLAY: “No.” BUCK: “We’ve been in that world.” #ClayandBuck

@TaylorCrews1991 @stammtheman @TheAthletic Missing @JohnDenton555 coverage at @MLB as well.

Just a reminder that we are well into the 2026 MLB season and @TheAthletic still does not have a writer for the St. Louis Cardinals. A team with 11 World Series title and one of the most passionate fan bases in all of sports. However, they have multiple writers for other teams.

@ThatEricAlper Big Star “Nothing Can Hurt Me”

What's the best music documentary or biopic you've ever watched?

"One great detail will do the work of 50 crappy sentences." Wright Thompson is one of the last great magazine writers in America. He's long been a writer at ESPN, and if you love sports, you've almost definitely read his work. Maybe his profile of Tiger Woods. Or maybe the one about Michael Jordan. Some highlights: - "When somebody says something is overwritten, it really just means that the story is underreported." - Profiles are about figuring out what is a central complication of somebody's life and how, on a daily basis, they go about solving it. - "All of these stories, the few good ones I've written... I think these stories are like a prayer for empathy, to try to understand each other, to understand another human being a little bit at a time. Then slowly, thread by thread, you understand yourself." - On writing well: "One of the things that's missing is that nobody wants to hear what I have to say, which is just reps. Zen is a butt in a seat. There's no mystery. It's just reps." - "I wish someone had told me years ago that if you're going to be a professional writer for decades, writing is not going to be about words, but it's going to be about architecture. Only when you really understand how things fit together and move can you then actually be thinking about the words." - "All writing is trying to say something new that is true and is both specific and universal and that helps the reader understand something they didn't understand before, preferably about themselves." And here are the timestamps: 1:50 Writer's vomit vs. writer's block 8:33 The architecture of writing 11:30 What makes for a good story? 15:57 Bringing characters to life 21:11 "The hammer" 26:26 Writing a vivid scene 33:41 How to bring places to life 39:57 Dialogue vs. quotes 45:49 The role of secondary characters 51:44 The problem with "brainstorming" 1:02:13 What makes for a great ending? I've shared the full conversation with Wright Thompson below. If you'd rather watch on YouTube, or listen to the full thing on Apple / Spotify, check out the reply tweets.

@GeneSteratore so when a team rolls the ball in to stall the clock starting why is it not a five second call if it is not touched within five seconds?

@SECUnfiltered Not the best look from UGA fans….

Noootttt the best look for Tennessee’s coaching staff 👀😬

@tom_hart hey Tom can some of these innings count towards tomorrow’s game?
