LAILA EDWARDS MAKES BLACK HISTORY DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH! And the US doesn't win without our hockey niece. It's a shame it's taken until 2026 for us to have a Black player. May we never know that life again.

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE
then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"
and i was like.
oh!

It’s really just a cycle of seeing people react to something that ICE does to the people they imprison and thinking “this is something that prison abolitionists have been specifically warning about for decades”

The men of the NBA get about 40% of total revenue.
Women are asking for 27.5% of total revenue.
This statement by the WNBA is simply not believable.
They need to explain clearly how a share of revenue below anything the men of the NBA have ever received would result in huge losses.

In a statement provided to ESPN, a WNBA spox calls the WNBPA's proposal "unrealistic & would cause hundreds of millions of dollars of losses for our teams. We... are running out of time. We believe the WNBA’s proposal would result in a huge win for current players & generations to come.”

I don't know what to do but just keep repeating it so I don't go insane: the rise & eventual total domination of RW media is the single most significant political development of my lifetime and the entirely of the US political & media elite resolutely refuse to discuss or even acknowledge it.

This whole fight over transgender stuff happening on X is so weird to me. The most notable thing about trans issues in the last 5 years has been the enormous, coordinated anti-trans activism campaign across the right, aided by moral cowards in the center.
But that campaign is *never mentioned*.

the more you learn about this the more you learn how screwed everything is -- harddrives/RAM/etc that don't exist yet are being bought "in advance" of production with money that openAI/etc don't have. meanwhile actual businesses who make real stuff need to buy computers for employees, etc.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.
