From @TheAthletic: The WNBA Finals starting at 12:30 p.m. Eastern is an embarrassment, our columnist writes. "Inexcusably obtuse planning, astoundingly bad optics, and most of all a wildly crappy thing to do to the people who consume your product." nyti.ms/4ssSHTm

BREAKING: Will Venable has been named AL Manager of the Year by Sporting News. Will lead the Sox to an 84-78 record, a playoff berth, a Wild Card series win, and a trip to the ALDS. Well deserved for the White Sox 2nd year skipper!

Watch this now! Over eight years into our fight against ALS, we’ve made meaningful progress, but there’s still so much work to do. Thank you, thank you, thank you to @Whitney_Reynolds for the opportunity to share our story on her show on @PBS last night and why we refuse to give up until ALS is no longer a death sentence. Please watch and share! pbs.org/video/the-fight-agai…

A NEW STEP FORWARD! Clene’s CNM-Au8, available through ACT for ALS-funded EAPs, has been submitted to the FDA. If approved, it could reach everyone in the U.S. living with ALS in 2027. People with ALS don’t have time to wait. We urge a timely review.
A major milestone for Clene: We’ve submitted an NDA to the FDA seeking accelerated approval of investigational CNM-Au8® for ALS. Thank you to the patients, families and partners who helped make this step possible. Read More: invest.clene.com/news-releas…

White Sox lost 101 games 3 years ago. White Sox lost 121 games 2 years ago. White Sox lost 102 games 1 year ago. White Sox are 1 win away from the ALCS. Stop telling me any other story in sports history is better than the 2026 Chicago White Sox.

Chicago: 2 teams, 2 clinches, 2 minutes apart
The Cubs and White Sox are BOTH headed to the #Postseason for just the fourth time! 1906, 2008, 2020 and now 2026 😤

One of one 👑 For 15 seasons, Nneka Ogwumike helped shape the WNBA as a star, a champion and a leader. From growing the game to making sure it’s in good hands until her very last dance, we are forever grateful. Thank you for it all.

First time in Chicago history the White Sox and Cubs clinched a playoff berth on the same day. Literally two minutes apart. Get in Chicago, we are OCTOBER-BOUND! #Cubs 🦁 #WhiteSox 🦁

The path of sunlight is produced by an architectural feature that fills the transportation hub every Sept. 11 between 8:46 a.m., when the North Tower was struck, and 10:28 a.m., when the North Tower collapsed.

AP photographer Amy Sancetta stuck around for a few days to meet up with friends in New York after covering the U.S. Open tennis tournament on Sept. 9, 2001. Two days later, she received a call from one of AP's photo editors, rushed out of her hotel room and recorded history.

🕊 The missing Twin Towers returned to New York for a few minutes A light show was held on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The drones first rose into the night sky in a spiral, then formed the outlines of the destroyed World Trade Center towers. The installation used 2,977 drones — one for each person killed in the attacks.

I don’t know you personally, but as someone who worked for McClatchy at the News and Observer in Raleigh, I don’t think people realize how bad this is. What’s happened to local news is devastating. When local coverage is gutted, you’re losing people who intimately know your community. The local perspective is lost and the narrative of the community becomes shaped by outsiders who don’t understand the people there or completely ignored altogether.
Tough day After 38 years at The Sacramento Bee, I was part of sweeping company layoffs. My last day is Oct. 9. I love my job & my role in the community. I thank coaches, athletes, media & especially readers & followers. I’m not done working. I’m excited about what’s next.

Somehow, a 1/4 century has passed, and yet, so many souls who died that day are forever frozen in time. Remembering them & the heroes of this day of infamy. Wishing we all could quit yelling past each other & focus on constructive help for humans around us in need. Imagine.
