“Women who average more than 8.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, or 1.3 assists per game clearly have an unfair biological advantage over women who don’t, and we need to maintain a level playing field.” — Sophie Cunningham

A real “I didn’t think the leopards would eat MY face” moment. lol. Milo Yiannopoulos, the self-described libertarian and professional internet troll who built a career around controversial right-wing politics, is now in ICE custody.

Semafor refers to "Washington’s custodianship" of Venezuela's oil. Just like Bonnie & Clyde served as "custodians" for bank deposits.

US eyes ‘massive’ stake in Venezuela’s oil resources

The proposed deal would give Washington part ownership of fields containing 90 billion barrels’ worth of proven crude deposits.

Not going to weigh in too deeply on MLB's latest proposal. I just want to restate the point that the "exciting" free-agent periods of the NBA and NFL are because the players are fighting each other for a limited pile of money. It's just another anti-labor effect of a cap system and house unions.

In case you weren't immediately aware that this was an awful opinion, the word "bespoke" is there screaming at you.

I’ve never heard Conan O’Brien move to change the subject faster than when Molly Shannon excitedly, brightly, and as an almost complete non-sequitur, said, “My friend’s son founded Polymarket!” In a recent podcast.

There was a time when most everyone recognized that wealth gained without justice carried a kind of moral stench and they were revolted by the people who flaunted it

We have more technology, more productive capacity and more wealth than any civilisation in history. Yet we are exhausted, insecure, in debt, struggling to afford homes, food and energy, while a tiny minority accumulate more than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes. We. Are. Being. Robbed.

NEW: We obtained recordings of 160+ emergency calls made from or about an immigration detention center where three people died within six weeks. “They will not give them medical treatment,” one caller said, seeking help for a detainee with kidney stones.

He looks like ted cruz with his wig off.

This should be bigggg news. Doug Jones vs the moron Tommy Tumorville. He coached football. That's his gig. He was probably konked in the head a few dozen too many times. Vote Doug, save Alabama. They need help! Last in almost every important metric.

I hope it’s clear to everyone who cares about the survival of our democracy that we need massive turnout and landslide margins to counteract the lies and cries of fraud that are coming after the midterm vote.

Having slept on it I have decided that the Lake America shit is hilarious. I will not be taking questions at this time.

The type of point guard play coaches hope and pray for. That's exactly what Veronica Burton did for the Valkyries and coach Natalie Nakase tonight. Last year's MIP is even better this season.

There may just be no way to beat decades of misinformation about baseball. There’s too much stupid out there.

If you honestly think baseball’s problem — one of baseball 100 biggest problems — is “the Dodgers aren’t putting enough money in their competitors’ pockets,“ I cannot help you. They kicked back $180M in corporate welfare last year. Go away. Go watch football.

You don’t think the 99% of baseball fans who don’t know about it would be interested now, given the dodgers massive recent success? Come on, man. It’s a farce, totally blows up the myth of a semi-level playing field. And thats why everyone downplays it. See exhibit A above

I can't believe Doug Pappas has been gone for *22 years*.

Last thought for the night... One of the worst things about Bud Selig is that he taught baseball fans in great American cities to see themselves as victims. Fans of the Reds, Pirates, Royals…no one talked about how bad they had it until Selig put those words in their mouths.

1) Baseball has massive amounts of local revenue sharing. Massive. 2) Baseball has excellent competitive balance. 3) MLB is working night and day to keep you from knowing these things.

Would this $2B+ Rays stadium subsidy deal be worse for taxpayers than the Royals plan announced last week? Either would be the biggest stadium public cost in MLB history; if they both pass, all that's left to determine is who's #1 and who's #1a.

Latest Rays stadium plan includes “waterfall” fund that could drive public cost past $2B

The revised Tampa Bay Rays stadium plan paperwork was released on Friday afternoon, in a classic Friday news dump. The idea behind these is to dominate the discourse just as everyone goes home for the...
