In 35 years of frequent flying this explanation for a delayed departure was a first for me: “A little bit of an issue finding a captain for the flight…we’re sourcing one.”

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Great job by the camera operators and the people in the truck to get that shot and then run it back to match Collinsworth’s comments

Awful Announcing@awfulannouncing.bsky.social

Cris Collinsworth: "That's the second time I've seen that look on Patrick Mahomes' face. When he went back & recovered that fumble earlier, I saw that same sort of 'I can't believe this is happening to me' look. There it is again. Have you ever seen that look on Patrick Mahomes?"

Crunk is a verb now?

Jon Krawczynski@jonkrawczynski.bsky.social

Anthony Edwards said a Heat bench player was chirping: "I think it kind of crunk me up. He was talking pretty crazy. When I start talking to him, he didn’t really have too much more to say. I don’t really like that. If you gonna talk shit, keep talking shit. Don’t get quiet."

Come Turkey Day next month the fact that we still get to watch LeBron and Curry hoop in 2026 will be near the top of the things I’m thankful for

Lonzo Ball had the ball near the top of the key and wound up taking a three from the bend without taking another dribble. It’s best if you don’t ask how.

Looks like the cover has already been blown

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Exclusive: The Pentagon is looking to build a more robust deep-cover spying program to conduct economic warfare against China and other U.S. competitors, according to people familiar with the initiative.

The Global Entry line at O’Hare on Sunday was longer than the regular passport control line and it turned out it was because only 1 of the 6 facial scanners was operational. I blamed Kristi Noem’s failed DHS leadership and I might have actually been right. Wasting money on kickbacks.

The Washington Sun@washingtonsun.com

The purchase of several aircraft by the DHS during the final days of former Secretary Kristi Noem’s tenure is tied to an “ongoing criminal law enforcement investigation,” the department’s Privacy Office told The Washington Sun.

Providing extra security for an NFL game is the last thing France needs to spend money on right now

Adam Schefter ... Mirror@adamscheftermirror.bsky.social

The NFL said security will be heightened for the game in Paris between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints on Sunday after civil unrest engulfed the French capital last weekend. Original post

Seriously, Roger Goodell needs to read the room. Put the worldwide domination plan on pause. French students are marching in the streets because their schools are woefully underfunded, rioters have caused millions of dollars in damage to stores and government buildings. Come back another time.

Let me go on the record here and say we need an NBA Weekday Afternoon Game of the Week from now on, and before you say it, so many people don’t work M-F 9-5 in an office anymore 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🏀📺

It would be better if they just used existing audio for the questions, i.e. “Where are those transmissions you intercepted?”

This could get tough. Maybe we should use the metric system to measure Trump’s press secretaries’ time of service
