I'm going to have **that stupid take** now, but most people don't remember that we already had a women's pro basketball league when the W formed. It was the ABL, and it played during basketball season. The NBA formed the WNBA to play during the summer. Why? To kill the ABL and protect the NBA.

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.

Using the mute mute button liberally during Valkyries/Dream game—I've seen all these ME Senate ads before/have already voted.

Given that all the anti-Collins attack ads I've seen (S ME) have had the same message—she's Trump's creature—I wonder if this will help or hurt?

WSJ - US expected to remove 50% tariffs on some Canadian products in a bid to help Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and other Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.

We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely.

Getting ready to overwinter the magikarp (one koi, three comets). They're already easing into winter torpor; the plan is to move their winter home into H&J's bar Tuesday, give it a day or 2 for things to settle down, then bring 'em in late next week.

Drop some BIKES Sketch from a never-put-together 2018 pitch about a teen circus globe rider who finds himself helping out folks in each rural town he visits. Basically road house for tweens. My poor agent said he could sell it, so of course I pivoted to commercially unviable projects instead.

I worked for one (1) 8 hour shift directing parking lot traffic at the Loveland Pass ski area. Before my next shift I got a call from a construction company doing work over at Winter Park—way more money. See ya!

I'm sitting in the cool rainy grey dawn/drinking coffee/thinking about raptors. A good start to the day.

Not gonna lie… this whole grinding your coffee is making me want to drink better coffee and my wallet cant afford that right now… enjoying it while I can! This is a friends coffee that supports his work monitoring a Black-and-chestnut eagle (Spizaetus isidori) nest #ColombianCoffee #Birds #Raptors
