Thank goodness you're here is an absolutely phenomenal game that takes two hours to finish.
I think Miles is a future MVP (and Clark could be if she cuts down on her turnovers) but this is not close at all. Wilson laps the field. If she isn't having the greatest season in WNBA history, it's only because she herself has had a better season
She's not even the best player on her team.
Annie Costabile@anniecostabile.bsky.social · 5d agoTwo players have been most often discussed when it comes to the MVP conversation this season: A’ja Wilson and Olivia Miles. But has the race heated up since the All-Star break? And why has Caitlin Clark been on the outside looking in for much of 2026? www.nytimes.com/athletic/752...
The thing people need to understand about the Massachusetts Senate race is that it's less about people loving Ed Markey (although he's a good progressive) and more about people absolutely hating Seth Moulton and not wanting him anywhere near a U.S. Senate seat.
Seth Moulton will remind you that he is a giant piece of shit the moment you start to forget.
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 5d agoSo not only is Seth Moulton using red-boxing he's also going all-in on the ageism against Ed Markey. Great reporting from @kellygarrity.bsky.social. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/08/19/m...
georgiebc.wordpress.com/2025/04/12/w... The United States is now under an autogenocide brought about by fascism over taking democratic norms.
Why autogenocide?
This post is for people who are wondering why I used the term autogenocide in the Binding Chaos series and as part of the 3E movement. This is the explanation from Stigmergy: How to Create a Mass M…

The NBA is officially broken and this is a sign that salary cap circumvention is allowed. Between gambling, PE owning teams, and now this we are entering a dark ages of sports.

Some A+ live trolling in front of Atlanta City Council.
Maybe I am the minority, but all these trademarked collections being added to MTG are off putting. The world of MTG is so rich and deep why do we need to release collections from other IPs. It feels like a lazy cash grab more than an interesting crossover.
Remember this image every time someone tells you that protesters are "hurting their cause." Those people are the red bars. In 40 years, we'll look back at them the same way.
A bunch of cops cheering at a political rally — in uniform — as the president and AG endorse a candidate and attack their political opponents is not normal. And it is not okay.

I will not be moving to threads. If bluesky dies, I go down with this ship.
Christopher Mims@mims.bsky.social · 2w agoSo I guess either Bluesky becomes a nonprofit or we all start sharing our Threads handles on here…?

MxLazuli@mxlazuli.bsky.social · 2w agoI’m sick and tired of reviewers and others viewing “7/10” like it’s a death sentence for a video game or a movie or show. The scale was always 1 out of 10. 5 should be the very middle/average. 5 should be considered an “average” game.
Personally, as a trans person who is a long-time WNBA fan, y'all gotta stop worrying about this. There's nothing you can do about shitty people being shitty. Stand on business, defend trans people, don't let the bigots think they are normal or right or accepted. The rest is out of your control.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2w agosomething i’ve been thinking about is whether or not there’s a way to rightfully condemn anti-trans comments by people with a public profile without elevating their celebrity/importance + serving them on a platter to the right wing media ecosystem. the cycle is painfully disturbing and predictable.
This is always a lie. They never leave.
