What are YOU 🫵 doing to defeat the rampant spread of pickleball?
I’m noticing that different courts around Milwaukee have these little free libraries for tennis equipment? Love
My colleague Aaron Parsley and his family were swept away in their home by the Guadalupe River. His harrowing story and their loss are described in one of the most important pieces @TexasMonthly has ever published. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…
Once again the lame-stream media ignores @KnowYrEnemyPod

If Luke and double Al weren’t enough, the 2k26 cover also features Sam Hauser (from the same game as the other Celtics pictures)
SGA didn’t have enough aura on his own, needed Kornet and Horford to carry him.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that Bluesky chose to announce the new notifications settings with a sports news account. Bluesky has said sports is not just a top priority but the top priority. niemanlab.org/2025/07/bluesk…

She shot for the moon and landed among the stars 🚀 Faith Kipyegon’s Breaking4 mile attempt comes up short as she clocks a 4:06.42 time trial, 1.22 seconds faster than her 2023 official world record. Kipyegon hit 400m in 1:00.20, 800m in 2:00.63, and 1200m in 3:01.84 en route…
Boston will always be special in my heart. Huge thank you to the organization, coaches, staff, my teammates and the fans! Class organization. Forever grateful. ☘️
NEW: @andrewcuomo just conceded the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City to @ZohranKMamdani. Cuomo had universal name ID, a $25M PAC backing him and tons of institutional endorsements. Mamdani is a 33-year-old socialist. The magnitude of this can't be overstated.
Definitely the first time in history guys from Lowell and Lawrence involved in the same trade
BREAKING: Boston, Atlanta and Brooklyn are finalizing a three-team trade that sends Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick to the Hawks, Terance Mann and Atlanta's No. 22 pick to the Nets, and Georges Niang and a second-rounder to the Celtics.
N.B. my fellow Celtics fans, this is a homecoming. Georges Niang was born in Lawrence, grew up as a Celtics fan in Methuen, high school in New Hampshire
georges niang???
