I spent nearly two years talking to former players & fans of the WNBA’s Miami Sol without knowing if the story would find a home. Here it is at @defector.com, about what modern league expansion can learn from the team’s all-too-brief existence.

🇵🇷 Remembering Hall of Famer Orlando “Baby Bull” Cepeda on what would have been his 89th birthday. Born in Ponce in 1937, Cepeda grew into one of the most prolific sluggers in baseball history, leaving behind an incredible legacy across the majors, Puerto Rico, and Latin America. 🧵

I said it before, I'll say it again. I'll give you as many stars as you want. The minute you ask me to write a review for (insert product/service here), I am OUT. I write for a living. I have no interest in expounding on my last doctor's appointment.
I replaced a toilet seat three weeks ago and I've just received my *sixth* email from Home Depot asking me to review it. Motherfucker, it is a goddam toilet seat and I have a normal-sized ass. If your shitter ring didn't work you would have heard from me by the end of that day. Thirsty assholes.

This is a fascinating story — and I can’t help but wonder what a similar story about Browns coverage would be like.
30 news outlets. 250 stories (and TikToks and podcasts and posts and prognostications) a day, 24/7. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year. How much Eagles news can — or should — one city consume? Loved this new @phillymag.com story, a look not just at the media, but what we value as a city.
