Wolves/Lynx, politics, and movies. Probably in that order.
Anthony Edwards: "It's going to sound like I say this every year, but I haven't been more excited for a season to come. ... I think us being young, playing with our hair on fire." He continued raving about the defense.
This would be a bombshell if literally anything would happen because of the reporting. This will be forgotten in a week.

Every Minnesota sports team absolutely rips on defense and it's my favorite thing
Anyway back to talking about basketball. Here are Sophie Cunningham’s 2026 highlights #WNBA
it turns out there are a lot of normal people that are fine staying on a website programmed to create non-consensual sexual images to harrass women, as long as they don't specifically encounter it much. and the force of that is so much more culturally destructive than if it was just evil people.
Micah@rincewind.run · yesterdaythat twitter still has a lot of normal people on it is the main problem! it would be a lot better if it was exclusively fascists and the blast radius of their propaganda was smaller! truth social isn't warping brains that weren't already warped
Tip Hayes does not deserve to be a on team that wins a playoff game, that part upsets me.
three games isn’t enough! i don’t understand why it could ever be thought to be enough! don’t you want more views, don’t you want more money?
It would be very neat if Dallas won :) I like Paige and Jess
At this point the only thing that will cheer me up is if (when) LA elects Nithya Raman
Nithya Raman@nithyaforthecity.bsky.social · yesterdayLA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.
Al: So here comes bowl of poison. We all know the bowl of poison story, no need to rehash it. Overcome a lot of adversity. Kirk: I gotta say I’m honestly bowled over — no pun intended! — by how hard bowl of poison has worked to get back on the field. Al: Great story. First and 10 from the 26.
AI is an unregulated emergency on every level--academia, art, national security, privacy, the environment, faith in journalism, and on and on and on--and deriding those who are desperately trying to pull the handbrake as we go over the cliff as alarmists will not age well (if we get to age at all).
Sophie Cunningham is gonna get released because she sucks ass and the Fever organization & fanbase are going to have to reap what they've sowed all season when The Grift comes for them. Very excited to watch it play out.
Announcing the merger with Titanic footage is an incredible bit
Men would rather invent conspiracy theories than acknowledge we're swimming in the waters of our rape culture every damn day.
I'm pretty fucking bummed, y'all. Gonna try and not sit and doom all day but woof

I still can't believe this is a team that some think is top 5 in the West
Law Murray 📘@lawmurraythenu.bsky.social · yesterday🆕 @theathletic.com Competition has been beaten like a drum before and during Lakers training camp. That's what happens when half the roster gets flipped, multiple starting spots need to be won, and at least one contract has to go. Here's an early tale of the tape www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...
And, for the coup de grace, two bills protecting fire survivors from predatory insurance companies, which he vetoed, deliberately, to punish fire survivors for rejecting his "reform" bill that was actually a huge payout to SCE for starting fires. calmatters.org/economy/2026...
Newsom vetoes insurance-claim bills: Is it ‘petty’ politics?
California governor rejects legislation sponsored by LA fire victims, who had spoken out against his wildfire-liability effort.

Straight up: As a woman in football, this sucks to listen to. This week in particular.
