For non-WNBA watchers: The Minnesota Lynx are coached by Cheryl, and they are playing the Indiana Fever. The Fever have a transphobe on their team that has attracted a traveling circus of bigots, first to Portland, and now to Minnesota. Cheryl is doing what the WNBA as a corporation refuses to do.

Cheryl Reeve’s shirt today:

the dodgers and the teams that let the dodgers do this are all on the same side in baseball's upcoming labor war

I hope this discourse goes on forever and keeps dragging more characters into it. Where is Agnes Callard’s take.What does that guy who filmed his wife rolling down a hill make of the film’s depiction of marital fidelity

Okay now it's getting real

bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.

Sharing to simply state: I will NEVER vote for a candidate with anti-trans and/or anti-queer platforms. Never. Doesn’t matter who the opponent is. And a party that embraces candidates like that won’t get another dime from me. So you know, powers that be, make your decisions wisely…

in the wake of Amy Acton's anti-trans turn in Ohio, I will re-up this @bostonreview.bsky.social essay where I make the case that abandoning trans rights is BAD POLITICS for Dems, as it will turn away their own pro-LGBTQ base w/o winning over a single new voter... www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

This is what I wrote about Platner back in October of 2025, and I think it holds up okay. The popular movement that grew around him in Maine is real and inspiring, the guy himself was always fugazy at best. At this point I just hope the former outlasts the latter. defector.com/what-job-is-...

The man that my wife and I found ourselves talking to at the bar of a restaurant in Rockland, Maine in the summer of 2019 had arrived in town as your fancier visitors do, which is by boat. He told us ...

yeah, this is a credible allegation of rape from five years ago by someone who supports Platner politically with documentation of corroboration from others she told well before Platner's campaign started. his response is bluster and smears. he should drop out. right now.

i find it very funny that, canonically, the last character in this comic strip would be required by his belief system to murder you the instant you admitted to having used any kind of AI for any purpose

Good they're retaining rights to their IP--wasn't sure how that was going to shake out.

An important update from Compulsion Games.

Not only does Mamdani not work for Congress, but the idea that it's a problem that he is *good at his job* which inspired other people to want public servants to also be *good at their jobs* (or to do them, at least) is ... well, there are a range of Yiddish words for this.

This Pirates bullpen can just never stay out of its own way, huh?

The antisemitism I’m seeing about Brad Lander today is wild. Unfollowing people I’ve followed for years who’ve lost their minds, saying he’s the wrong type of Jew and somehow all the Jews who voted for him were tricked into it. Some real bad shit from a lot of “we’re the normal ones” Democrats.

nobody is happier about ronaldo scoring a double against dogshit opposition that his biggest fans: millions of 13yo boys who are already halfway radicalised in the manosphere

A trove of internal records from a secret society for powerful figures in US politics, finance, and tech was left exposed online, WIRED has confirmed, naming participants in its events and revealing sensitive personal details they were assured would stay private.

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

Hey, whenever people hear AI was used to make a new video game or movie they are driven mad with rage and swarm the company online. Is this a good sign about the future of the technology?

I'm not a pro-ban person when it comes to substances but it remains beyond insane that 7-OH is being marketed and sold like it's 5 Hour Energy. This shit is not normal "kratom" and it's not an energy supplement. It's fucking Oxy and if you get addicted to it you will get dopesick.

I still can't believe this video is real and something that a member of Congress said. If you said this about literally any other foreign country, people would be like "wtf is wrong with you, traitor?"

Been laughing at this for 45 minutes straight
