For World AIDS Day, which is Dec. 1 and which is being ignored by the Trump administration because they dislike the World Health Organization, other countries, science, and queer people, I'm reposting a piece I wrote earlier this year. (They also hate history.) www.vulture.com/article/hiv-...
The List Keepers
The AIDS crisis shattered Broadway, and the scope of the loss has never been fully accounted for. Some kept their own records.

The women abused by Justin Tucker and Art Briles have to carry those scars for the rest of their lives. It’s not to much to ask that Tucker and Briles should, too, rather than being given chances at redemption.
Art Briles, Justin Tucker getting second chances they don't deserve
If our society valued women, Justin Tucker and Art Briles would be pariahs. Instead, they're enjoying second chances despite the harm they've caused.

A shift in the WNBA.
In 2022, 6 black head coaches.
In 2026, 2 black head coaches, 0 black women.
There’s been progress — 7/15 are women, including 2 of color — but for a league that’s 60%+ black, does raise questions about why coaching hires don’t better reflect that.

I took a couple of weeks for me but wanted people to know I've left Winsidr. I'm open to all new possibilities that may come as a free lance writer but in the meantime I'll try and offer more game breakdowns

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.
U.S. Department of Education fired nearly everyone in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in a wave of new layoffs that began Friday, according to the union representing the agency's employees. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

What about the WNBA? Oh wait.
Connor McDavid is a potential Mount Rushmore NHLer, but he's making 25 percent less than the highest paid player in the league.
Is his contract the steal of the sports century?
