Natasha Cloud warming up in a Sydney Taylor t-shirt (I have no idea of or where these are for sale) with the sleeves ripped off. Few people hate a sleeve like Tash.

Sometimes sports journo, sometimes comms pro, always a maker. Love Chicago. Probably making a Taskmaster or Murder, She Wrote joke. I won't answer any questions you can Google. I'm here for conversation, not debate. I mute whining about officials.
I like Marisa being here for many reasons but I really like that she's knocking out these updates
Marisa Ingemi@mingemi.bsky.social · 48m agoSydney Taylor is a gametime decision tonight for the Sky hosting the Sparks
This basketball game doesn't tip off for three hours. Hooooowwww
Sending my best to everyone at #STLV! I really wanted to join you but I'm still dealing with the last time the Captain didn't raise shields when I suggested it. Signed, Prune Juice Lover 47
This is rough but I think it talks about a lot of what is missing from the Cunningham/WNBA discourse. Namely, that trans people are not hypothetical thought experiments. They are real people who are being genocided by our government & any coverage that doesn't center that reality misses the mark.
the answer is always to disavow it
Would you let the Proud Boys march in and sit courtside?

I tell this to everyone who has a biometric ID on their phone
SeasonalPun@pixelfish.bsky.social · last wk.Just as a heads up, passwords are protected in legal situations, like when police or customs wants to “just see” your phone, but biometrics are not.
see now this is an expert opinion I’m interested in
Deidre Lynch@drbibliomane.bsky.social · yesterdayYou can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
Uhhh, anyone in the Uptown/Ravenswood/Andersonville area have any idea what was just being said over loudspeaker?
Just got the Sky’s injury report for tomorrow, and Sydney Taylor is questionable with a groin injury. My bet is that it will be a warm up and see how she feels situation. Skylar Diggins and Azura Stevens remain out.
"It's a family issue" is how women and children in DV situations end up dead.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRAJU: Sen. Moreno is calling for Max Miller to resign. Do you side w/Moreno? THUNE: It's a family matter &, um, I don't have any observations beyond that Q: If a member of Congress is facing domestic abuse allegations, should they continue to serve? T: It's a House matter. It's a family issue too
About to watch Mexico week on the Great British Sewing Bee. Let’s see if they can handle it better than the Bake-Off. So far, they brought in a judge who is a Mexican designer so 🤞
On vacation with friends and friends grandma. She walked into a book store, didn’t find my book, told the owner she should order it. Owner immediately ordered it and we are now planning an event together. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE HYPE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE.
lmao the fucking pentagon at the end. what a finale
CSketch@csketch.bsky.social · yesterdayOh my god I think I found the video.
The “Riley Gaines” microphone case is priceless. It’s as if she’s some sort of actual reporter and not a cro-magnon dipshit who sits at home complaining about nonsense. Humiliating work. It’s hilarious watching all these sub-mediocre losers be raging narcissists. You are nothing, Riley.
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · yesterdayAbsolutely nobody knew who Riley Gaines was when she was swimming for Kentucky -- there wasn't a whole arena booing her at that time.
David Hearn has been described in many quarters as a "former Olympian." There is no such thing as a former Olympian. Once you are an Olympian, you are forever an Olympian. "Former Olympic canoe racer," is fine. "Former Olympian" is not. "Olympian" is a lifelong title.
It’s voting day, Kansas!!! Remember to vote NO to ensure our courts won’t be bought & sold by corrupt & incompetent idiots! And if you are in the 1st District, might I also offer that @colinmcroberts.bsky.social is not only very funny, but also the MOST qualified and competitive candidate in YEARS.
It was a rough loss for the Chicago Sky against the Phoenix Mercury, and our @maggiehendricks.bsky.social was on the scene to take you inside how it went down late. WATCH: #WNBA youtube.com/shorts/jxOrK...

Chicago needs 15 million new cops to fund 15 million new NASCAR races. We're turning Lake Michigan into the first fully aquatic data center. Every kindergarten will be equipped with ToddlerSpotter. It's not ShotSpotter! It's better—SWAT will be alerted every time naptime needs to be enforced
Also, if you are a cis person and you actually think this is about trans people, I'd be happy to inform you that it's not. Conservatives want to police gender for everyone. It's the skeleton key to their entire political project. It won't just affect trans people. It'll affect you, too.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 2d agoIf you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.
I keep watching this and obviously, Chelsea's pass is the highlight. But I also think Jackie knowing that a ridiculous pass was coming was a huge part of it. The Aces' core just knows each other so well.
CJ Fogler@cjzero.bsky.social · 2d agoAn utterly absurd pass from Chelsea Gray
Tyler Marsh called officiating on Kamilla Cardoso "a fucking joke." Tyler does not swear or get angry in media.
20 pts in 20.5 minutes. Incredibly efficient.
RotoWire WNBA@rotowirewnba.bsky.social · 2d agoKelsey Plum: Scores 20 points in Mercury debut
Sky lose it 106-101. They had shots to win it, or at least tie but were stopped by PHX both times.
This Sky game is close and it's late. I have concerns.
Alyssa Thomas has a triple double with more than five minutes left in the game.
