Just a reminder that you are doing your best, and that’s more than enough. It’s okay to take it one day at a time.

@masnSteve Inability to execute situational baseball and letting the oppositions best player (by a mile!) get GW hits in both games is foundational problem of approach. Call me crazy

@grantpaulsen I’d like a response from the yes people as to why a players off time should be subject to an employers discipline? Substitute “casino” with “volunteering at a homeless shelter“ and would anyone have a problem?

Alex Ovechkin turns 39 today. He’s entering his 20th season.

1) The day he was drafted I was weeks away from getting my drivers license. I’m now 36 with three kids and white in my beard.

2) No athlete has provided me more joy as a sports fan.

3) No athlete has changed the DC sports landscape more.

What an incredible ride. Can’t wait for another season. Go get Gretzky!

Flashback to @jamesearljones reciting “The Star Spangled Banner” before the 1993 MLB All-Star Game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, accompanied by the @MorganStateU Choir. R.I.P. to a legend.

A fun story about the Library in @sciam this week includes this mind-blowing fact:
"...as of 2024, the library held about 184 petabytes of digital information...Converted into DVDs, that would be about 39 million disks. And if those disks were stacked atop one another, they would tower 29 miles high—a span equivalent to about 106 Empire State Buildings."

@ByDougMcIntyre Reportedly? Just a hunch but don’t you reportedly have to be offered a job- that would be reported- before you turn it down? Isn’t the story Klopp reportedly offered the USMNT job? That’s a scoop
