I was listening to my fave political podcast this morning while driving and one of the co-hosts said heโ€™d had a midterm debate on a side screen while his family watched โ€œthe Valkyriesโ€™ WNBA finals game.โ€ I just love how much the WNBA is coming up in conversation outside of sports spaces these days.

Itโ€™s โ€œHold the Lineโ€ cause love isnโ€™t always on time

I don't know who needs to hear this but Paris has been lovely, peaceful all this week. Even today with the scheduled protests and some storefronts and metro stops closed, everyone is just out living their lives and all the bars, restaurants, etc are packed

In case youโ€™re wondering what the Outkick guy is up to with the Finals credential WNBA PR gave him: He saw two WNBA PR employees sitting at their desks during the national anthem and posted their photo to Twitter and has followed up with additional posts attempting to dox them

Outkick has been granted a credential for the #WNBA Finals, per source.

A Florida man was found dead in his home during a welfare check in July 2022. Weeks later, one of the officers who discovered his body moved into the home and spent years impersonating him, according to investigators.

Microsoft literally told fragile white guys to use AI to compete with Black co-workers.

There is something so soul crushing about creating art that pushes the needle in the games industry, only to be thanked by using the capital gained from said art to push the ones who created it out of a job.

Literally every athlete will say I'm fine to play. It's the job of coaches and medical staff to say nope, you can't. Where the hell were these people?

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.

i had a podcast interview request from the BBC today (big nope). the interviewer, a woman, told me it was important to hear from "both sides". that's their attitude to everything now, from trans lives to mental health and everything in between. it's bad faith delulu world all the way down

when i was in college, a frat killed a freshman by hazing him. students were furious and the school suspended greek life. the next school year, after attention died down, they brought back greek life. they quietly settled the lawsuit. cornell students, and all students, deserve better. ban frats.
