As we tip off the 2023-24 NBA Season at Ball Arena, we are flying 10 American flags to honor the Americans currently being held hostage as a result of the terrorist attacks in Israel.   Our thoughts are with these individuals, and their families, and we hope for a peaceful resolution for all in the region.

Tonight, we are flying 10 American flags inside U.S. Bank Stadium to represent the 10 Americans who are currently being held hostage and were among the more than 200 people kidnapped by Hamas during the October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel.

Today at Lincoln Financial Field, we’re flying 10 American flags in 10 empty seats to honor the Americans currently being held hostage. These hostages were just 10 of the 200 kidnapped during the terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7.

A not-so-short thread on @RisaBHeller, an amazing human! I met Risa on my very first day of work about a week after I graduated college, 20+ years ago. We worked at a five-person company and she was my first and best friend in DC. nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

I know none of you are interested in any of this, but I'm sharing it because my experience with Risa isn't entirely unique. There are dozens - or even hundreds - of people who have their own Risa stories that sound a lot like mine.

@RisaBHeller is an awesome human. She is kind and fierce and honest and warm and always, always there. She is also better than all of us at our jobs, and she works harder. This story captures maybe 1/20th of who she is, but it's worth every second.

Replying to @OptimumHelp
@OptimumHelp We’ve been without internet/cable for days and cannot connect with your CX via phone or chat. How can we find out when service will be restored?

@OptimumHelp Hello? Even when I call customer service, it just hangs up on me. How is this an okay way to treat customers? It’s been days and you cannot even tell us when we’ll have service restored. And when I ask for a credit for missing service, I’m told to call back again!
Psyched to see Passion Pit tonight at the Webbys. #webby

When a news story is on NYTimes.com, TMZ.com and ESPN.com it's a big deal.
How much $$ will this late news break cost the Post/News/Times?
Aside from everything else, this is a remarkable news moment. Definitely chill-inducing.
