any history of pre-radio book culture is full of people w lives 10x harder than any modern american reading and seriously engaging with literature. people were reading tolstoy in tenements and mining camps
little wonder that her first reaction after winning was relief, not joy youtube.com/watch?v=XTCnO5…
Aboriginal Australian annointed face of the games years in advance as marquee event star and symbol of the reconciliation process that's become a national flashpoint, first active athlete to light the cauldron, gets one chance to deliver in front of largest oly crowd ever (115k)
Cathy Freeman, 2000 Olympics
What’s the most pressure an athlete has ever been under? It’s good to think about by league too. Overall it’s probably all World Cup finals and Olympic finals.
no chance this works lmao, and even if it does iger and kushner are removing her from the governor role asap x.com/sherman4949/st…
Big breaking news: I've obtained a letter from Jeanie Buss's lawyer to the lawyers of her siblings demanding any vote to sell the team is "void" and reiterating that she's the controlling shareholder -- which trumps any "vote." Story developing ... cnbc.com/2026/08/17/jea…
if anything the valuation jumping 20% in a year probably made all the buss siblings suspicious jeanie was more focused on retaining power than finding the best deal. doomed x.com/YaronWeitzman/…
Follow-up reporting: The tag-along clause was executed after the other five siblings sent Jeanie signatures stating that they wanted the family to sell its shares, according to a source.
uglier end for jeanie buss than even i expected lol. whipped votes for a sale to walter then fired all her siblings to consolidate power, she was drawing dead the moment walter sold
does jeanie buss realize that mark walter is gonna kick her to the curb as soon as he is legally permitted to do so? espn.com/nba/story/_/id…
yeah okay speed at which this is happening says that walter needs cash to cover those loans immediately, i know he's trying his hardest to not touch the dodgers but have to imagine that's on the table too x.com/SamuelAgini/st…
Story: Chelsea FC shareholders Mark Walter and Todd Boehly in talks to sell their stakes to Clearlake as.ft.com/r/50f1a080-f57… @ArashMassoudi @leee_harris @AntoineGara
you don't buy the lakers to flip them less than a year later, even if it's a 20% gain. mark walter needed to get liquid fast, wanted out of the nba immediately due to info he didn't have when he bought the team, or was ordered to sell to that specific buyer
Crazy how much Cavan Sullivan pops watching the Union in person, so clearly the most talented person on the field
I have to make this point every like 4 months but these are all popular bestselling novels with highly engaging plots and relatable narrative voices, literature is a people’s art, anyone can read anything
Experimental Postmodernist Fiction: have you heard of the latest Booktok Trend?
this is up there with w luka trade as something where the stated explanation is so inexplicable even people who aren't prone to conspiratorial thinking are trying to figure out the real motivations
.@ramonashelburne tells @Sedano on ESPN LA that the Josh Kushner/Bob Iger purchase of the Laker all came together "in the last few days"
top 1% at any sport is doable if you're committed and marginally talented, top 0.001% is only possible if you're a freak who committed your life to the sport in your early teens. right tails are so so long
like a sub-20 5k puts you in what, the top 2% of runners? most ppl could probably reach that equivalent level in tennis with a few years of serious training, but there's no pool of 30 min joggers for them to impress, only the top 3% are still playing seriously as adults
that wall exists in running too, there's just so many more participants at every single point of the ability spectrum that it's easier to see progress relative to the average
Football/basketball are the least forgiving sports because you can do everything “right” and still discover that you’re too short, too slow, started too late, or simply don’t have the coordination/talent. While you can start running at 28, hire a great coach, optimise your
there's a jimmy kimmel billboard that i keep thinking is mamdani whenever i first glimpse it
brazilian sex comedy movie talk ntj.substack.com/p/jogo-bonito
begging everyone to stop saying "royce young/enes kanter wouldn't even be that good in the wnba," i get what you're trying to do but you cannot engage at all with stunts like that
If you want to watch a half-drowned Matt Damon realizing he can never go home and thus re-finding his identity in exotic locations in Europe, The Bourne Identity has it over the Odyssey in every respect other than the scale of special effects.
jayden deleon is taller than quincy, faster over 200, with better form, and has a race plan that should carry over well to world-class comp... sounds crazy but if i had to bet on one of them to make the LA28 team, i know who i'm taking x.com/TrackGazette/s…
Jayden Deleon 🇺🇸 sets a Championship Record of 44.47s to win 400m GOLD at the World U20 Championships in Eugene!🥇 🥈 Quincy Wilson 🇺🇸 44.62 🥉 Leendert Koekemoer 🇿🇦 44.96
quincy wilson won olympic gold at 16, ran 44.1 at 17, and is somehow not even the fastest high school 400 runner in the dc metro area this year lol
