If the only team in MLB history to never make a World Series and win only two division titles since 9/11 is spoiled... I don't know what else to say.

[Jeff Bean @sadwinnipegfan]

How easy each MLB fanbase has it tier list

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

Firstly... congrats to the Former VP @Mike_Pence

Secondly... It's funny to me how institutions and people who originally hated this man for his ideological positions (which he maintains) are now willing to recognize his service simply because he's not aligned with Trump anymore.

Washington State University announced Thursday that Pence is to receive the 2026 Thomas S. Foley Award for Distinguished Public Service. https://t.co/OrkYk4lz8y

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies.

Say what you will about JK Rowling, at least she's not a rape apologist.

Tell you what--if you knew the whole truth about everyone in the Senate and House of Reps, those chambers would be dead empty. Jesus said, "Let him without sin cast the first stone."

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

Correct me I'm wrong, but if we just go back over the last 10 years, the only Republican candidate to get "walked away" from was Roy Moore in the 2017 Special Election in Alabama, who was accused of sexually assaulting underage girls.

A lot of bad candidates have been since then

[Acyn @Acyn]

Kevin McCarthy on Platner Allegations: That one thing I know about Republicans is when we had a very bad candidate, we didn't vote for that person. We walked away.

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

@OnmeFishy Okay fam. You think that while you enjoy your beans on toast today.

Also... thanks for making my point. Lol.

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

Wasn't rooting for England but I'm glad Mexico lost.

Fan base was obnoxious and annoying.

And that's coming from someone who has zero interest in soccer.

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

@Shady_Monster_ Trust me... I wasn't watching. Saw the final score and was satisfied. Everything I've seen from the World Cup has been via IG or X.

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

I feel many Americans don't actually care if Democratic Socialism could truly work to improve their lives. They simply want an option that is not the status quo.

Politics in America has and always will be a Pendulum swing. It's currently swinging hard left, but how long will it?

[CBS News @CBSNews]

As Democratic socialists continue scoring wins at the ballot box, most recently in Colorado, CBS News' executive director of elections and surveys Anthony Salvanto highlights that "the first thing you notice is this is happening in cities."

"Why is that? Well, first of all, you've got the kind of coalition that these kinds of candidates are drawing, which is, you've got younger people, you do have more affluent districts, you've got more educated districts we're talking about here," he says.

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

@Zachonearth Wishing you the best man. 🙏 Hard losing someone that impactful.

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

I'm sorry, but if you as a person don't hate losing with every fiber of your being, I don't want you on my sports team, in my video game lobby, or at my place of work.

People shitting on Wemby for being competitive and not being friendly post-loss aren't people to take serious.

@MattLoveless What are your minimum five wins at this point? Duquesne, Texas State, Oregon State ×2, and CSU?

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

@AnaCabrera Wishing you best of luck moving forward Ana! Will always value your contributions to our industry. Go Cougs!

This is the same fan base who throws eggs at Wemby as he's going to the hotel after Game 4.

Spare me... this city deserves nothing good in terms of sports.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

When OG Anunoby tipped in the game-winning basket for the Knicks in the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history, all of New York erupted in stunned jubilation.

“At the end of the day, we’re just a happy city with some happy people,” said one celebrating fan. https://t.co/JDrZgzoj8u

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

@izzyman25 @royalsreview As a Mariners fan who experienced Josh Rojas, I do pity you.

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

As a Spurs fan, does it suck to see Fox shoot 1/9 from the field? Yes. But, he's doing so much more that's not on the stat sheet. You can tell Harper & Castle play way more confidently when Fox works the point and distributes. Hopefully his Game 7 experience shows up on Saturday.

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

RIP Harmabe 😭

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

As someone who spent a vast majority of my life with an eating disorder, I've been waiting for these stories for a long time. Not eagerly, but concerningly.

Whatever your thoughts are about GLP-1 drugs, the fact is as the old saying goes, "there's no magic pill for weight loss."

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound have revolutionized weight loss. But there's a more hidden side effect.

Providers say they're routinely encountering patients taking GLP-1 drugs that have relapsed or developed an eating disorder while on the medications. https://t.co/QMVN4go6fA

[kam. @80205kam]

Wemby is best player I’ve ever seen in my life.

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

@goatklaw2 That says a lot about your team that Ben Simmons best seven games of his career came against them. 🤡

Again... not questioning Kawhi's greatness. Questioning why Drake felt like he needed to diss DaMar

Anyway... Have fun riding your boy and reliving the past broski. ✌️

[Allen Leister @Allen_Leister]

Honestly don't understand the diss here.

While Kawhi was always better than DeMar (no one said otherwise), that 2018 Raptors team didn't have to face LeBron (Like DeMar did for YEARS) and beat a Warriors team that lost KD & Klay.

Hot Take: that team w/DeMar would have won too.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Drake dissed DeMar DeRozan on "National Treasure":

"We must've been dealin' the spur of the moment
'Cause why did we think you could get us a ring?
They braggin' 'bout how you went home, the f**k are they on?
Crodie, we threw 'em away
G Pop sent us a real one from Daygo
And next thing you knew, we was throwing parades."
