#Zverev has had the stronger body and endurance than #Alcaraz or #Sinner this year. If Sinner can't return, Zverev deserves that Year-end no. 1 ranking. It's definitely a Big 3 right now, because these three are head and shoulders above the others. Not the Big 2.5 like a podcaster said. #TennisSky 🎾

The World No. 1 ranking in getting closer for Alexander Zverev. He's still 1810 points behind Jannick Sinner, but Sinner has a lot of points to defend this fall. If Zverev can grab the ranking, there will no debate. He will be the greatest tennis player born in the 90s. 🎾 #TennisSky

The Aki Basho kicked off on Sunday! Onosato looked bad. Lucky to win. Hoshoryu taking his 5th kyujo in his 10 basho as yokozuna. Kirishima flopped around but won. They say he's going for Yokozuna, but he just doesn't look like a yokozuna in most of his bouts. Aonishiki looked solid. #sumo

Someday, this crapshow will be over. This era will be remembered as the time when America destroyed their own country and reputation by voting for such a odious imbecile twice, completely conned into believing that this felon would "make America great again." It will be the era of America's shame.

I cannot imagine who is actually surprised by this outcome. You have a pedophile con man and self-absorbed drunk leading the military. What other possible outcome could there be? How long is America going to let this continue? I thought America was stronger than this, but I was wrong.

Even if the Democrats win in'26/'28, they'll be out in '32 because Americans will expect everything to be fixed in 4 years. Americans are too stupid to understand that it takes longer to rebuild than destroy. And on and on it goes. The swirling circular firing squad of the United States of America.

Every time I watch Forrest Gump now, I'm going to be thinking that Donald Jabberwocky Trump and Jeanine Pirro is going to arrest them. They. Damaged. The. Pool! They had box cutters and sliced up the pool as they ran across it. This was an antifa rally to damage the pool!

I'll never understand why America GOP chose the pedo con raping fraudster as their nominee 3 consecutive times, or how America chose the orange loaded-diaper buffoon on the last 2 of 3 elections. My pride and joy of being an American is completely gone. I love America, but I dislike it intensely.

@maddow.bsky.social Jeanine Pirro failed to reach the level of corruption and lying Trump expects from his loyalists. It's not that she didn't try. She did her best. But she was defeated by the facts and truth. Two of Trump's greatest enemies. #maddow

Day15 preview If Aonoshiki beats Atamifuji he takes the yūshō outright. Ao had beat Atami 4 straight but lost to him their last meeting. If Ao loses AND Kirishima wins the very next bout we get a 3 way playoff between all three of the aforementioned men nax #nagoyabasho2026
