RIP, Alex Trebek.
Just when it seemed like 2020 might've been turning a corner by finally giving us election results, it takes one of the most beloved celebrities ever.

[Jeopardy! @Jeopardy]

Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends. Thank you, Alex.

@jj_watson Those votes came from Clayton county, part of the late John Lewis’s district

[Jun Kamata @junkamata]

Wow, @JoeBiden just pulled ahead by 900 votes in Georgia, based on most recent count of mail-in ballots from Clayton county. Part of Clayton county is in the late John Lewis’s district.
Lead could grow since there are still uncounted ballots from the Atlanta area (Go Jackets!)

@SBNation Portland Trail Blazers select Sam Bowie

Sorry @trailblazers, too soon?

[Jun Kamata @junkamata]

Finally got Will Smith @Braves vs @will_smith30 @Dodgers showdown I’ve been waiting for in @MLB #NLCS. It did not disappoint. I assume this is what #GeminiMan was about. And points for @FS1 @MLBONFOX for playing “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” by #WillSmith going to commercial afterward.

Portland should be proud of entire @trailblazers team. Especially @bosnianbeast27 who lost his grandmother today but went all-in for his team 22-21-6. Condolences, Jusuf.

Clutch plays by @Dame_Lillard @CJMcCollum @carmeloanthony & @gtrentjr
Love the heart of this team #RipCity

My incredibly talented friend @TichyMike has been doing mini covers by request on FB. Especially enjoy his solo (some duet) arrangements of old favorites.
Mike introduced me to the first #RATM album way back when. Sadly, this @RATM song is still as relevant & necessary as ever.

@Harambe_Sbeve77 @bosnianbeast27 @Dame_Lillard @youngwhiteside Yes, totally agree, not meant as a slight to @CJMcCollum - he’s always great.
Was just highlighting some significant changes since March that have @trailblazers looking strong heading into the playoffs.

"Damian Lillard from the logo..."
@Dame_Lillard w 51, 61, & 42 in final 3 games to lead Portland to the play-in game Saturday.

Totally different team w @bosnianbeast27 back, “Skinny Melo” at SF & @youngwhiteside coming off bench.

@katymorganwx RIP CITY!!!!

Incredibly disappointed my alma mater @GeorgiaTech won’t require masks on campus. Completely undermines credibility as a scientific institution.

Contemplating moving to Spain and beginning a new career as an art restorer. I have no qualifications but that doesn’t appear to be an obstacle.

Despite attending well-regarded public schools (K-12 + undergrad) I didn't learn about #Juneteenth until well into adulthood.
#SystemicRacism will not change if our education & history remain Euro / cis / straight / white / male -centric.

Happy Loving Day!
As recently as 1967 SCOTUS struck down anti-miscegenation laws banning interracial marriage in 16 STATES (3 that I’ve lived in)
Think of the multiracial people/couples you know, love, &/or whose art you enjoy. They would’ve been outlawed.

While "support" is still far from "action", this is an encouraging & sudden leap in public sentiment for #BlackLivesMatter
Peaceful protest, amplification, allyship, anti-racism, etc. all keep this moving in the right direction.
Still need real, tangible changes, but a start

[The New York Times @nytimes]

American voters' support for the Black Lives Matter movement has increased in the last 2 weeks almost as much as it had in 2 years, according to new data from an online survey research firm https://t.co/rT6kc36hCW

Incredible video footage of peaceful demonstration in Los Angeles, from Ron Kurokawa's Twitter feed. I hope everyone has PPE because, like (and because of) systemic racism, COVID-19 is disproportionately killing black people.

Curious to know @MenInBlazers thoughts on @JKCorden of @latelateshow apparently successfully recruiting @notthefakeSVP of @SportsCenter into becoming a @WestHam fan on SVP tonight.

[Jun Kamata @junkamata]

@chibbs_1 @celtics @trailblazers Don’t forget your Georgia Tech fans! GO JACKETS!!!

[Jun Kamata @junkamata]

Now we can add Korean baseball (#KBO) to Belarusian Premier League soccer for pandemic sports options. KBO opening day on @espn currently on rain delay. @karlravechespn & @PerezEd on the call.
Found out this was happening tonight watching @notthefakeSVP
Dinos or Lions?!?!
