Another presser when Natalie Nakase makes a reference to vulnerability. She noted how the vulnerability of her players aided her game adjustments. Brené Brown says "vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change." That's exactly what happened here for GSV.

Natalie Nakase said something in her postgame presser that really stuck out to me. Maybe this is because I've been listening to *a lot of* Brené Brown and her teachings lately, but Nakase isn't afraid to talk about vulnerability and its benefits. She values vulnerability.

just to get ahead of future advancements, i also don't want to watch robots shoot basketballs perfectly from 75 feet every time. the frailty of our human endeavors is the point.

I'm one of those in the group at risk. If anyone is on the lookout for someone with decades of experience in production and release management, please reach out.

the NBA started the WNBA because the ABL played during the NBA season and they saw any women's league as a potential competitor. keeping it a summer league avoids competition and also depresses wages. can't wait for the CBA fight to begin!

Offered to 60,000 employees (their total workforce is 223,000 employees) “As we well know from watching the tech industry over the years, big earnings is the perfect time to shave off some headcount to keep the line going up.”

Trying to figure out how to tell my boss that actually I'm too busy to attend our weekly meeting. ... Surely "crying, screaming, throwing up" requires sick time?

12:30pm local time on a Thursday isn't great, I feel bad for Dream fans. It's not ideal for West coasters, either. Better preparation might have avoided this. #wnba

Stop fighting each other about scheduling when we should be directing our anger towards our real common enemy - Jeff Pagliocca. 😂

unfortunately, that's just not good enough, imo. they may have had conversations, but clearly no plans were made, much less implemented. by refusing to act, they left everyone in limbo and themselves looking inept and unprofessional. (and by "they" I mean the league and the dream mgmt.) #wnba

One thing I can say for a fact about the arena issue is that parties were waiting to see the outcome of yesterday’s game before really drilling down. Convos happened, of course but after yesterday’s loss, when Game 6 was guaranteed, is when everything unpaused. #WNBA I @theixsports.bsky.social

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

who's discussing the impact to the fans? I guess we're expected to drop everything and change our schedules at the last minute because the league waited until the last minute to start planning for this. #WNBA

There will be a Game 6 of the WNBA Finals in Atlanta. But nobody knows yet where or even when the game will be played despite a furious round of negotiations spilling into Sunday between the WNBA, NBA, Valks, Dream and Hawks. What we know, with @ramonaespn.bsky.social www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Cal Football is in a Murphy’s Law year. Everything that could go wrong (injuries, staffing, comms) has gone wrong for Tosh Lupoi, but can be patched by a good 2026 finish; and if anyone can rebuild through recruiting & the portal, it's him. My weekly piece: writeforcalifornia.com/p/cal-footba...

writeforcalifornia.comCal Football Is In A Murphy’s Law Season, But There’s Time For Tosh Lupoi To Turn It AroundEverything that could go wrong, has gone wrong for the first time Cal head coach. But there are pathways to finish strong and get ready for the years ahead.

watching the saints game on delay, and the first thing I hear is about the French national "football" team and "women's rugby" during the Olympics? times really have changed. in the olden days they'd call it soccer and wouldn't have had any idea about any women's sport, much less mention it on air.

"Under the agreement, Pac-12 leadership has ordered that Genius Sports’ video equipment be installed in every school venue for football, men’s and women’s basketball." I don't even know what to say about this.

a couple of years ago, some broadcaster mentioned that Phee didn't get enough calls because she's too nice and doesn't complain to the refs, and she had been advised to start complaining more so she'd get more calls. I think about that a lot. #wnba

the valkyries are never on the court during the anthem, fyi. they don't "walk out during" because they're already in the back. most teams do the same. doesn't feel much like a protest to me, just preparation. anyways, having the anthem before every game is silly. #wnba

In other news, yesterday I saw someone in East Oakland had a Halloween display in their front yard with a huge spider web and the spider in the center was wearing a Janelle Salaün jersey
