So I guess the music choices are gonna continue to be a problem at these WPBL games

It’s another WPBL game day, between the SF Firebells and Boston Hunters. US viewers, it’s much easier to access today, free via Tubi. Outside the US (or via VPN), you can watch free on YouTube.

Let’s gooooo LA Queens 👑 #wpbl

“why did you become a journalist”

Bits@bitshammer.bsky.social · 7d ago

There’s so much I’d love for them to tell me during this #wpbl game. How long are the baselines? How far is the mound? Or the outfield wall? Did I miss to them mention that games are only 7 innings? C’mon, don’t tell me about souvenirs and concessions. Tell me about the game!

Folks hoping to watch #wpbl, it’s on ESPN Select (US viewers) and YouTube (everywhere else). US viewers, if you don’t have a ESPN sub (or it’s not part of your Disney+ sub), get thee a VPN to watch it on YouTube or otherwise find a stream while sailing the high seas 😉

Watching the inaugural #wpbl game between LA and NY in (checks notes) Springfield, IL. The TV production so far is… yikes. Y’all, if you’re gonna play all your teams in the same city for your 1st season for $ reasons, your media game better be TOP NOTCH. How else you think you gonna grow fan base?

I swear to christ, some of us actually want to READ things online, please let us keep one gd thing with actual words

Speaking of the stench, IT’S FUCKING OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, fml

Andrea Gutierrez@andreagtrrz.bsky.social · last wk.

I joke, but this is courtesy of a particularly humid summer (by LA standards, okay!!) plus occasional whiffs of the stench of rotting food from the Lineage warehouse fire in Boyle Heights and the fact that it means we dare not open our windows during the cooler parts of the day as we normally would

Y’all, I figured out how to stay cool in our poorly insulated home. I just have to run the very outdated and inefficient central AC all day and have 2 room fans pointed straight at my face while I stay tied to my desk, and it’s only gonna cost me $53,000 when the electric bill comes. What a deal!

‘Pretty sure he’s wet:’ Immigration agents used racial slurs during LA sweeps, court records show

Records released as part of a lawsuit challenging racial profiling show that immigration agents used slurs to refer to Latino targets.

ESPAÑA!! 🇪🇸

Dude sacrificed his face for the sake of shutting down Messi, and for that I salute him 🫡

GOOOOOOOOLLLL 🇪🇸

I swear to god, Spain needs to win, I will lose my shit if this whiny Argentina team takes it

The only thing I hate more than egregious diving is egregious begging with prayer hands 🙏🏽 to call a foul on the other team

The final score for this match is gonna be so stoopid

Mbappe's like, we not dead yet

France is so checked out

Realized this week that the reason I haven't gotten into Premier League (or any Euro leagues, for that matter) is that lots of matches would require me to be alive at 6 or 7am PT on the weekend, and that's just not a commitment I can make for literally anything outside of World Cups or Olympics

Well, football is decidedly not coming home, and now I pin my hopes and dreams on Spain?? UGHHH
