@PabloTorre @pablofindsout Everyone should read the rebuttal bei @pescami. It's a decoder ring, of sorts, thst will help you understand why this episode is embarassingly weak.

@jon_wertheim @WTA Well said. I've been reading your column since the Sampras years and this is a great and nuanced take. You yourself said that this will undoubtedly divide your audience, but it had to be done - and it was done well. You, sir, have my respect.

@jon_wertheim It baffles me when I see what counts as valuable or profound in these cases.
"People should not be dying in the streets for existing".
Yes - and? What does that even mean? What does that mean in terms of policy? Without follow-up questions this statement is meaningless ...

@Laura_bvb1909 Dein Post trägt leider ziemlich sektenartige Züge: Alle, die nicht genau auf deiner Linie sind, sind automatisch böse und "demokratiefeindlich" (?), du unterstellst sofort das Schlimmste, die Autoritäten sollen gefälligst eingreifen & dafür sorgen, dass alle auf Linie bleiben...

@belleamball @the2ndserve "That sounds reasonably iconic and, with all due respect, bigger than Thanasi, Kokkinakis, and Cerundolo, the three starters from Team World this year in Berlin."

@JensWeinreich @c_h_w_b Interessante Infos drin, gut geschrieben. Aber auf die entscheidenden Fragen (Haben Khelif/Yu-Ting XY-Chromosomen - und wenn ja: Bringt das einen deutlichen/unfairen Vorteil?) gibt es keine Antworten. Im Gegenteil, da scheint der Artikel bewusst schwammig zu werden. Schade.

@jon_wertheim Private Hudson, ist that you?

@SStossel Constructive criticism for a change:

To me the "He wants to be liked so much!" feels like surface-level analysis. He always stayed true to his beliefs, although he knew it would make him wildly unpopular. Maybe more than any other player even. That's never mentioned. Thoughts?

@CWhitakerSport @DavidLawTennis Lots of things are wrong with twitter (and humanity), but calling David's tweet a "completely legit opinion" and Kyrgios' reply "straight up abuse" is just utter nonsense. Maybe twitter as a whole isn't, but you're surely better than that?

@KingAriPress @CultureCrave @IMDb IMDb had a top 200 list as rated by women in 2018:

5. La vita e bella
6. 12 Angry Men
7. LotR Fellowship
8. Lion King

10. Godfather II

Pulp Fiction is 31, Good/Bad/Ugly is 55!

@MattBelloni @TheAcademy @Inclusionists Tough to take her seriously when she suggested Nolan should have made a "Hamilton" version of Oppenheimer to make it more diverse.

@SherwoodStrauss Leaving this behind a paywall leaves them a very convenient way out ("not gonna pay to read your lies!").

Buuuut I've never been more tempted to subscribe, so ... I get it.

@TennisPodcast 2/2

So …did we learn anything? I don’t think so. And next year everyone involved will probably do the same spiel again.

That’s why I think the pod started to get tedious the last two weeks. Because you went over those “pretend reasons” again and again. But to what end?

[Der Duke @Doodlesuck]

@TennisPodcast I failed to get my point across, apologies. Let me try again:

You corner AM. She can't spill the beans in fear of PR backlash and brings up those flimsy reasons.
You pick those apart. Fair enough.

But the elephant in the room, the real reasons, are left untouched. 1/2

[Der Duke @Doodlesuck]

@LeeStrobel Nice! I remember reading "Der Fall Jesus" (The Case for Christ) about 20 years ago. Keep writing those great books!

[Der Duke @Doodlesuck]

@TennisPodcast Good pod, but please look up the pronunciation of Tim Pütz's name. I mean, you managed Botic van de Zandschulp - the German "Umlaut" is much easier. 😀

[Der Duke @Doodlesuck]

@TennisPodcast I think you glossed over Sabalenka's statement, which had some strange parts:

- She hasn't been very clear, in fact she refused to answer.
- Why did she not feel safe? Who does she feel threatened by?

She can refuse to answer, but these questions will follow her. Then what?
