@danpfeiffer Yeah--an unnecessary sh*t in the 2020s

[sheila stainback @sheilastainback]

@NYMag @danpfeiffer I've been waiting for a freaking hour or more to get somebody on your support line to pick up the GD phone this morning. Hey @Murdoch2nd is this what you offer to long-time subscribers?

[sheila stainback @sheilastainback]

@NYMag the 800-678-0900 number is disconnecting my calls from TWO different phones. Where is the support? Does the Murdoch kid know what he's gotten into by buying you?

[sheila stainback @sheilastainback]

@NYMag I have called your 800 number four times this morning to get hard copy deliveries of missed issues from June of this year. It was promised in 2 weeks yet you say online it will come in 48 hours. What gives? I've written four emails making this request as well

[sheila stainback @sheilastainback]

@trendyhoopstars Yikes, and they are not even the best players! Where the heck is Aja Wilson?

@patkiernan
It's pronounced RACH-dale Village

@Ask_Spectrum cable out in zip code 10009 since 11pm last night. Whaasup

[Jason Quick @jwquick]

He was betting thousands on women’s basketball games where he didn’t know the teams or the players names. He was making Hail Mary parlays to recoup his losses. Inside the spiral of a problem gambler.

They were the BEADS in her braids that fell to the court. @PatrickMcEnroe @espn @usopen

@AroundtheHorn How can Emily Kaplin win by pronouncing @Gonzaga incorrectly? It's gon-ZAG-a

[sheila stainback @sheilastainback]

That would be the other 200M, or so--lol

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

But I thought some of y’all weren’t watching because of Taylor Swift 😂

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

The promise of NATO – that an attack on one is an attack on all – keeps American families safe.

It's that simple.

Any individual who calls into question the durability of that vow is a danger to our security.

[sheila stainback @sheilastainback]

I have nothing to say, just checking my account

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

I’ve been in communication with @NFL commissioner Roger Goodell regarding the dangerous conditions in Buffalo this weekend.

In consultation with our emergency response teams, @BuffaloBills leadership, and the NFL, the Bills game will be postponed to 4:30 pm Monday.

Apparently, only white men are behind food trends in NYC. @TODAYshow do better @joefryer

She and all nurses are indeed heroes/saints--no matter their skill level. They've hastened my healing each time I've been hospitalized.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

"This is my wife taking a nap. In an hour she will wake up, put on her scrubs and get ready for work.

The tools and items she needs to perform her job will be gathered and checked meticulously - her hair and makeup will be done quickly. She will complain that she looks awful. I will disagree, emphatically, and get her a cup of coffee.

She will sit on the couch with her legs crossed under her and try to drink it while happily playing with the toddler that's crawling all over her.

She will occasionally stare off blankly as we talk; silently steeling herself for the coming shift. She thinks I don't notice.

She will kiss the baby, she will kiss me and she will leave to go take care of people that are having the worst day of their entire lives:

Car wrecks, gunshot wounds, explosions, burns and breaks - professionals, poor, pastors, addicts and prostitutes - mothers, fathers, sons, daughters and families - it doesn't matter who you are or what happened to you.

She will take care of you.

She will come home 14 hours later and remove shoes that have walked through blood, bile, tears and fire from aching feet and leave them outside.

Sometimes she will not want to talk about it. Sometimes she can't wait to talk about it.

Sometimes she will laugh until she cries and sometimes she will just cry - but regardless of those sometimes she will be on time for her next shift.

My wife is a nurse. My wife is a hero."

With a heavy heart I have to share that my husband @MattNapolitano passed away yesterday morning. He loved his job and he loved bringing the news to your radios and televisions. An honest journalist who truly cared about facts. You can thank him for the last minute Jets win today

[sheila stainback @sheilastainback]

Doris and beth sound so much like I thought one of them was providing play-by-play by herself

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

ESPN is set to showcase an all-female broadcast team on Friday night when the Miami Heat take on the Boston Celtics.

Beth Mowins will lead with play-by-play, Doris Burke will provide color commentary, and Cassidy Hubarth will serve as the sideline reporter.
