Your annual reminder that college basketball players do not play harder - they just make it look harder, because they're not as good.

This is how MLK was depicted in 1967 to scare white Americans, in case there’s any confusion about what the strategy is.

Don’t act like everyone loved my father. He was assassinated. A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America. Most hated. Many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate, and may already hate, the authentic King. #MLK.

The black unemployment rate dropped 54% (from 16.8% to 7.7%) under President Obama. Trump denied it when it happened and called it “fake news.” And then as soon as he got into office, he took credit for the trend he inherited from Obama and pretended it was all his own.

“But how should *I* feel if I’ve already paid off my student loan debt?” I dunno, maybe feel good that things will be easier for everyone after you? Are you also mad that you spent $3000 on a Gateway computer in 1998 and now everything is cheaper and faster? Grow the fuck up

They admitted their guilt?! Oh, no. No no. Those confessions were coerced. They were disproven by DNA. I repeat: by DNA. Just like hundreds of others. Attitudes like this are what's keeping Brendan Dassey in prison. We need to keep educating about false confessions.

Jobs created in the first 27 months of Trump's presidency: 5.4 million Jobs created in the last 27 months of Obama's presidency: 5.85 million Still no word from the White House on it thinks why job growth has slowed.

An unidentified gambler turned a $25 wager into a payout of $57,146.40 with some remarkable wins. It's the largest hit for a sports bet at a Parx location.

If you’re “not sure” that you’re the guy in blackface or a Klan hood in an old picture, that implies you once dressed that way...and you still need to resign immediately — not conduct an examination to make sure you’re under the hood. #NorthamResign

Ethical norms of respect and integrity etc. should be upheld for their own sake, not as partisan weapons. But it's especially ludicrous to see those weapons in Trumpist hands. If you have defended or condoned Trump, you have no standing to talk about Northam.

Next to my dad, Harry, and Whitey, no one is more responsible for my love of baseball than Jayson Stark. I grew up on Week in Review in the Inquirer and still read him today in @TheAthletic. No one deserves the Spink Award more — congratulations, @jaysonst
