If you go to Apollo In Real Time, you can listen in to the moon landing as it happened 55 years ago today. Right now they are in lunar orbit preparing to undock.

Wow. There is nothing like displaying your company's failure than by doing so on practically every sign in Times Square!

America has inserted a half-time show into a fútbol match. #CopaAmerica

Just wait until someone tries to influence FIFA and actually stop play during World Cup Matches so commercials can be inserted to the coverage.

From the live coverage of #CopaAmerica at The Guardian:

"Tomorrow, we have no Euro games. No Copa games. Not even a stage in the Tour de France – which may have been effectively settled today, anyway. What are we supposed to do instead? Work?"

If Spain wins, someone please remind the team's head coach there is no forceable kissing of players after the match.

As much as the Tennis Channel can annoy me, they are still light years better at covering #tennis matches than ESPN.

ESPN+ isn't showing the match scores on screen for some reason. If you go to an app to look up the score, you'll find the app is ahead of the stream/broadcast.

What self respecting sports broadcaster doesn't display the match score on screen?

Update: I think their on-screen graphics person woke up at least for the Monfils match but not for all the courts. Sigh.

Arrivederci

LOL LOL LOL (I literally giggled at this.)

I just saw a headline that said Amazon is considering charging $10 per month for the 'new revamped AI-enabled' Alexa.

Even better, it won't be included as a benefit of Prime.

LOL LOL LOL

Fuller context:

The conversation was actually complimentary towards Iga. One of the other commentators was speaking about how true to herself she is and he used turning down the Lancome sponsorship as an example. McEnroe's comment was unnecessary.

@emarktaylor @tennis

Yeah, more of a joke really. Like kinda saying it would be worth wearing more make-up to take the sponsorship.

@emarktaylor @tennis

To be fair, they were talking about how she turned down a Lancome sponsorship. Lancome being a cosmetic company. Iga supposedly said "I don't wear much make-up". McEnroe was joking.

None of this makes their commentary relevant.

The Weezer Blue Albume was released 30 years ago today. I am undone.

@drewharwell

It is easy to laugh at these fools throwing away their money. However, I am more concerned about how their blind faith in the con artist never seems to waiver. They will lose their life savings and then will try to play the sympathy card to GOP representatives who will try to pass laws to help them. They will file tax returns with investment losses. Some may go on welfare. Others may try their own fundraising scam. All at the eventual expense of honest taxpayers.

Once you start having to cycle through the names of all your children (nieces, nephews, grandchildren) before getting to the one stranding in front of you, it’s all over. 😂

Have you or will you read her book? I don't trust how it is being reviewed, meaning, they are not being nice to her.
