If your baristas look like they could be working at the Gap, you’re in for a bad cup of coffee. (No disrespect to those who have worked at the Gap. If I could fit into their clothes, I would wear them)

All content is cringe to a certain extent. But right now, nothing is cringier than youth sports parent content.

Currently on a train down to Springfield with tickets to both of today’s WPBL games. Excited to see the league in person!

Lmao, Terri's get down is different

Now what was that Terri??? You get what with that wig ????😳😳

This is still very weird to me. It’s one thing when a player is brought on during the postseason when they are no longer playing. Weird when it’s an active player during the regular season.

Sophie Cunningham will be part of USA Sports’ WNBA coverage tonight, her third appearance as a player contributor and second week in a row. The pregame show begins at 6:30 ET. www.fieldhousefiles.com/p/sophie-cun...

Sending this out to whoever needs to see it: It's okay if you read slowly, there's no great victory in being able to read quickly, everyone kind of has their own reading speed, and that's perfectly fine. I'm just really happy you're reading. I hope it gives you joy at any pace. Thank you!

Domestic automakers just giving up on making reliable and affordable sedans is infuriating to me. We don’t need more trucks on the road!!

Honestly, in this political climate, often no policy is better than having a policy. If there isn’t a policy then there isn’t one to be enforce on players. And putting an overly liberal participation policy in place risks putting leagues on the radar of anti-trans groups or even the president.

Southern Sylvs 🍉 she/her@southernsylvs.bsky.social · 3d ago

I asked about any updates on policy regarding the inclusion of trans athletes. "Our policy is our practice" is the answer I received. That has been the standard answer for a while. Any changes would have to be in consultation with the NWSLPA.

I will never apologize for a post

I am sure Haley Stevens and her supporters will be super normal about the results

I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.

Julia Azari@juliaazari.bsky.social · 4d ago

One way to be safe is to never write an electability take

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE. If you arrived before the posted closing time, they are legally required to stay until EVERYONE has received a Hot ‘N Ready.

Humans and horses are both long-distance animals. Make the race longer, and the results even out. In fact, there is an annual man vs horse marathon - the horses have the better record, but the results are probably closer than expected: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_ver...

Pope Leo XIV was visibly tearing up as Andrea Bocelli sang “Amazing Grace,” joined by a choir of 160 children drawn from war-ravaged countries around the world. The moment came this past week at the Concert for Peace at Castel Gandolfo.

sorry to put her face on your tl again but this is great.

I know a lot of people get mad about how Josh Allen is rated higher than Lamar Jackson, but I think Buttow being ranked higher than him is the more egregious thing.

Our 2026 NFL Quarterback Tiers results are here. The panel this year consisted of 21 execs and 29 coaches overall. Each voter placed 35 veteran QBs into five tiers, from best (Tier 1) to worst (Tier 5). nyti.ms/4yYcfln

This is the WNBA & Indiana Fever’s fault. This is from XX XY Athletics’ IG account—that’s Sophie Cunningham with Riley Gaines & Jennifer Sey. The worst transphobes. I haven’t written about it bc it’s gutting how unprepared the league was for this & now we have explicit hate visible at games.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take

Football players getting the “meathead” stereotype instead of baseball players is racism. In this essay I will…

The whole Mariners' pen believes Babe Ruth didn't exist. Kinda want all MLB players to believe this and make the owners agree to it in next CBA

Richard Murphy@richardjmurphy.bsky.social · 6d ago

I did an infographic on Marx recently. This seems like the appropriate follow-up. In one way or another, I used AI in creating this post. I also used a word processor, my brain, thinking time, coffee, discussion, and about 50 years of reading.
