I've watched this like 50 times. So cool

Didn't know someone could look so cool simply getting up off the ground

Hard to know if the Iran war's been a success.

On the one hand, we've failed to achieve our main objectives, driven up the price of various commodities, and shown Iran that they can squeeze the Strait of Hormuz.

On the other hand, all it took was the virtual exhaustion of our entire long-range precision missile supplies.

Man. This was Klosterman's masterpiece

It's not the most popular plant among gardeners and homeowners, but show American pokeweed a little mercy.

That enormous plant with the dark purple berries that appeared uninvited at the edge of your yard is native across much of the Eastern and Midwestern US.

Pokeweed is one of our most productive wildlife plants. Dozens of bird species eat the berries, including cardinals, mockingbirds, catbirds, cedar waxwings, robins, bluebirds, mourning doves, flickers, and thrushes.

The berries ripen in late summer and fall, just as many birds are preparing for migration. Raccoons, opossums, gray foxes, and other wildlife eat them too.

Its small flowers attract native bees, wasps, flies, and other pollinators. By late summer, a pokeweed covered in berries can become one of the busiest wildlife plants in your yard, if you don't yank it out first.

It also hosts the giant leopard moth, one of the most spectacular native moths in the East.

One important thing to know though: every part of the plant is toxic to humans and livestock. Many wild birds, however, can safely eat the berries and then carry the seeds to new places in their droppings. That's probably why pokeweed seems to appear out of nowhere.

Passenger pigeons were among the birds that ate pokeberries, earning the plant one of its old common names: pigeonberry. The plant outlived the bird that helped name it.

If it's somewhere out of reach of children, pets, and livestock, consider leaving it. If it's growing somewhere you genuinely can't have it, remove young plants before they establish deep roots, or prevent mature plants from setting seed.

But if it's at the edge of your yard doing nothing except being big, purple, and feeding wildlife, that's a native plant doing exactly what it should be doing.

Derek Rae and Robson got robbed. By far the best crew but I do like Hargreaves and Fletcher. John Strong please stop yelling.

Here are the Fox broadcast assignments for the World Cup quarterfinals.

[Anthony Dabbundo @AnthonyDabbundo]

given how this tournament has been officiated, that’s an absolutely diabolical red card

game’s so gone

[Robbie Mustoe @robbiemustoe]

VERY harsh red. Wow. Refs are all over the place in this World Cup. Re-referring by video. Bollocks.

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

Shocking decision that. Messi did something similar in the early rounds and got nothing.

The Wizard of Oz turns 87 this year, and back in 1998, critic Rick Polito wrote what might be the greatest one-line TV listing ever for TCM.

The Nationals have scored 227 runs. Only the Braves have scored more.

The Nationals have allowed 234 runs. Only the Astros have allowed more.

Three-quarters of the season remains. Run prevention has to be the focus.

[Jordan D. Hill @JordanDavisHill]

Losing Ted Turner and Bobby Cox in the same week reminded me of this quote from when Turner fired Cox in 1981.

Luckily for Braves fans, the best was yet to come

[Virginia Tech @virginia_tech]

Today, we’re remembering and honoring the lives of the 32 Hokies who were tragically taken from their loved ones and the Virginia Tech community on April 16, 2007.

On this 2026 Day of Remembrance, we honor the potential they carried and the lasting impact they have. 🧡
