I don’t know who needs to hear this but unless you are literally a WNBA franchise owner, you should be on the WNBA players’ side in CBA negotiations just like you’d be on labor’s side if they were sanitation workers or air traffic controllers.

Really? Because I know an incredible number of secular groups doing amazing things in my community. I will acknowledge that it's the Bay Area but still, it's proof you don't need organized religion to organize around doing great things.
I know Bluesky loves to celebrate this stuff, but uh, you guys aren’t going to love the stuff that’s replacing the churches.
The U.S. is undergoing its fastest religious shift in modern history, marked by a rapid increase in the religiously unaffiliated and numerous church closures nationwide.

we are living thorough 10 years of moral collapse. it’s happening everywhere but is concentrated in the US. we have given up on even trying to argue that there must be more to life, both individually and collectively, than bare materialism and power. we must rededicate ourselves to meaningful life.

Love this new Idris Elba commercial that is like “we heard none of your AI products actually work, so we made another broken AI to coordinate all your broken AI. Now give us all your moneys.” but in a very sexy British accent

Herbie’s completely delusional if he thinks Gameday has been above the fray any time in the last 10 years at minimum and clickbait would be a step up for his analysis, which at present only rises to the level of AI slop. I literally think Claude could add as much to a broadcast.
Kirk Herbstreit lamented the sate of the sports media industry, claiming he'd quit before participating in clickbait culture himself.

Not quite so bad as to be the James Franklin of the Southwest, but 7-15 (.318) in his career against AP top-10 opponents isn’t the most encouraging stat for a guy joining a conference with OSU, Oregon, Indiana and the rest. Granted he did have some success against Oregon in the Pac-12
Kyle Whittingham is expected to be announced as Michigan’s next head football coach as soon as this afternoon, source tells NBC Sports.

Well that’s incredibly fucked up but I would argue that the opt-put would be GETTING THE FUCK OFF OF TWITTER. No one is on that site without giving consent, either

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

A friend was one of the few Jews on faculty at a North Dakota University. Every year, his colleague in religious studies would invite him to come to his religious studies class...
