Valkyries end of quarter clock management has been abysmal. Every time they’re taking a shot with plenty of time left on the clock for the Aces to get their own shot
Love Kayla Thornton but she’s got some Klayups in her. An adventure on the drives
Now will the offense show up? Who knows

I'm sorry I get they're anthology shows, but you can't be putting only S1 of True Detective and Beef on here.

This is no surprise at all. It's the same deal as what has powered a bunch of other data advances. Basically Mechanical Turk'ing our way to...something? I'd recommend Work Without the Worker by Phil Jones as a pretty quick read that still gets very in depth. Really left an impression on me
404 Media@404media.co · 2w agoMeta announced that its new AI agent, Muse could call businesses for you to do things like make reservations.

Jeff VanderMeer@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social · 3w agoLet's talk about a book series NOT getting attention that is among the finest of the decade: James Elkins' Five Strange Languages, the latest of which is Stories, Like Illnesses-- just released to resounding silence. Prior 2 novels are among my favorites ever and the new one so far is as good 1/?
I feel like I'm gonna be thinking about this piece for a while

🏈 GB 22 - 39 MIN FINAL ✅ That's Scorigami!! It's the 1097th unique final score in NFL history.
Very curious to see how the minutes shake out. Does coach Nakase use it as an opportunity to get Jocyte and others more minutes or push the remaining players knowing that they've got a break ahead of them?

nevermind that it took me forever to get around to this / figure it out, but finally got a GH action to run scrape nbadotcom's API. Feeling powerful
This is awesome. I literally did "tall person things" in a talent show once - screwed in a light bulb, got a can off a shelf, etc

We are on the verge of a climatic upheaval greater than any of us can imagine. Global leaders and media aren't paying attention. They are focused on a series of self-inflicted crises that have left us dangerously vulnerable and totally unprepared. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/what-keeps...

@yossigozlan.bsky.social any pros or cons to GSW using part of the taxpayer MLE to sign Melton rather than the BAE?
Endometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed. buff.ly/QX3jHk8 #ShareGoodNewsToo

Sonia Citron gotta get working on those entry passes. She’s had three deflected today - I think two by Gabby and one by VB
Cheryl Reeve is a fucking real one. We need more leaders in the WNBA like her.
Shams reporting GS needs another star to get LBJ kinda adds to my thought that GS has missed out on using their MLE for a real player by waiting on him. Especially with no reports of trade inquiries beyond AD and the usual Murphy stuff. Maybe they’re saving it to use as a trade exception?
I talked to Eliza Brooke of The Scumbler about how 730DC started, how it's made, and why we do it. It was a blast to look back and realize once again how proud I am of everyone involved in this, how much I've learned, and how in awe I am of the people of DC. elizabrooke.substack.com/p/730dc-news...

Feels like there’s a cyberpunk-y story in here where normal ppl can only rent time on consumer electronics unless they farm the e-waste and only big corporations can afford them, and they’re mostly used for surveillance.

The NPS will launch 850,000 fireworks in the middle of the night. (Last year, they launched 7,000) That will dump perchlorates and heavy metals into the Potomac River and cause the amount of soot and smoke particles to skyrocket (pardon), at great danger to any creature that breathes.

Liberty have gone to a supersized lineup to try and get back into the game. Ionescu is the shortest on the court for them. Fiebich, Stewie, Jonquel are all 6’4” and Han Xu is 6’11” I wonder if it’s the tallest lineup to ever take the court in the W?
Love Gabby but why is she shooting the Valks technical free throws when VB is on the court??
