From a man named Jordan Levick. Incredible must read: I am not a Swiftie, but I am a human being, a Dad AND, a Monstrous Football fan. I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them. I want to remind you of something. Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship. Your children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily. And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards. How many do you have? She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there? Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley? Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in? AND DID YOU KNOW … That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag and to never be silent in the face of oppression. WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD. Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight. DO BETTER PEOPLE. Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women, they are ALLOWED to take up space. Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.

Superb - Must read!

@PHShriver Bluesky is building tennis groups and already has lots of folks.

Preparing to leave X and want some feedback to what’s best next steps for tennis peeps?

@TropicalTidbits You're the only reason I haven't deleted my twitter account. Please move to #bluesky soon.

The NHC has initiated advisories on Potential Tropical Cyclone 19 south of Jamaica. This system is expected to consolidate into a tropical storm during the next 24 hours (its name would be #Sara) and track westward toward Central America. Its forward motion is expected to slow near #Honduras as the storm becomes mired between two ridges for a couple days. This could lead to a significant inland flooding threat to the region, along with the risk of the storm strengthening enough to bring a high wind and coastal flooding threat. A Hurricane Watch has been issued for eastern Honduras, and a Tropical Storm Watch for northern #Nicaragua. After the weekend, the storm's track remains a bit uncertain due to the weak steering currents. Models have trended today towards more interaction with Central America or the Yucatan Peninsula. This scenario would significantly weaken the storm before it potentially moves into the Gulf of Mexico. However, other scenarios still exist that could keep the storm more over water and stronger. The ultimate impact to the Gulf of Mexico region remains uncertain, but everyone in the eastern Gulf, Central America, Yucatan Peninsula, and northwest Caribbean should closely monitor the forecast this week. Note: I am presently traveling and unable to begin video updates until Saturday, but I will do my best to post here.

@Served_Podcast An unfortunate situation. I appreciate the comments of @BKrejcikova as well as the apology of @jon_wertheim and remain their fan.

Walz: So if you are feeling deflated, discouraged today, I get it. Take some time. Take care of yourselves. And get back in this fight when you are ready. And know that whenever you are ready to get back in that fight, I will be standing right here, ready to fight with you.

We can't keep doom-scrolling this Muskian hellscape. May I suggest Substack.com? Transitioning is difficult but necessary sometimes.

@TheBodyServe Thank you - I needed this after the fucked-up bullshit that just transpired. And don't even think about retiring because your emotional-support podcasts will be necessary for at least the next four years. Love y'all!

I read with interest that in the event of him losing Trump is considering leaving the USA to live in Scotland. I think I speak for many Scottish people when I say he will be given a very special welcome.

Be advised that this entire hellsite will become a rancid cesspool of lies and disinformation tonight and through the next several days. It was purchased and restructured for this precise purpose. Expect nothing less than a projectile vomiting of hype, falsehoods and petulant rage. And, of course, keep moving forward and toward the light. We can do this.
