Given that The New York Times is still the world's newspaper of record after what they did with the actual Nazis, I do not have hope that there will be any reckoning or accountability. You can only hope to contain its damage

karl making a dumbass challenge being IMMEDIATELY followed by a (potential) flagrant missed call is just. sigh. W's officiating remains a mess

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

It’s crazy to be so good that you’re ranked the 10th best in the world and I’m like “this is so low that it’s laughable”

12 days ago I posted about these issues, merely by looking at the various online schedules for leagues and arenas. And it was all known plenty of time before that. And they're still figuring it out. It's embarrassing. The best plan they had in place was "Maybe it'll end in 5?" Ridiculous. #WNBA

Game 6 would be way more complicated. Thursday, so can't really play lunchtime+evening, like with Game 2. Hawks are scheduled to play at home the night before as well, so can't just shift one 24hrs earlier. Obviously won't want Games 6+7 on Fri/Sat back to back (and Warriors are home on Sun). #WNBA

fitting irony that on the 30th anniversary year of the wnba the finals ends around 3pm in the middle of a work day because the nba said so

Valkyries vs Dream Game 6 will be at 12:30pm eastern at State Farm Arena, according to ESPN

In other words, the Dream dropped the ball for like the 50th time in this saga when they failed to address Game 6 at the same time as Games 3 and 4. It’s a shame there’s not, like, a Dream minority owner available to comment on this situation on any of the Finals studio coverage.

Had those requests been made weeks ago, or even a week ago, we might be in a different spot.

Mark Zuckerberg is straight up way more evil than Elizabeth Holmes but because he’s got a lot of money the tech press has to go to his little events and pretend his ideas are valid instead of being like “what’s up with that dumbass shirt?” and “don’t you regularly influence elections/genocides?”

Happy sports equinox day! Today is the only day this year that you can (try to) watch an NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and WNBA game at the exact same time, or as I call it: The Sickos Challenge.

yup.

thehandbasket.coRepublicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problemA spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

Many great US players over the years grew up playing on the boys' team because either there weren't enough players to form a girls' team or it was best for their skill level. It's so nakedly disingenuous.

Kate Starbird@katestarbird.bsky.social

This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Like many others I assumed this was funny hyperbole -- "call in the national guard!" type of thing -- but no it's a description of events.

They called the cops on this 3-year-old Black boy because he was kickin the white kids' ass on the soccer field.

I’m gonna guess the team hasn’t reached out to do anything, and I’m not even gonna set myself up for disappointment and expect the league to do anything. Them just sitting there as supporters suffer because of THEIR ineptitude is expected but still beyond stupid

what's killing me about the cheesecake factory discourse is that Obama didn't even say the cheesecake is bad, he said it looks crazy in there and it does. even if you like the food, it does in fact look fucking crazy in there

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?
