"The NWSL might think the Spirit are making a nonsensical decision, and they may be right. It’s still the Spirit’s call to make. If they can’t meet the 2028 cap by the time it rolls around, then the league can step in."
That's it. If the Spirit eat shit with an albatross of a contract, let them!

As things stand now, the NWSL isn’t fighting for Trinity Rodman. It’s fighting against her, and shadowboxing with its own potential in the process.

NWSL said it would fight for Trinity Rodman. It’s only fighting with itself
One way or the other, the league will set a precedent with Rodman. The NWSL has the power to choose what that looks like.

Spain is playing out of their mind right now, and as a @gothamfc.bsky.social I’m biased to our players, but we have to give credit to how Esther is forcing the German defenders to respect her on these runs resulting in goals. She stretches them so thin and makes the space for the shot. #UWNL

It’s a pyramid scheme about to collapse. It’s ALWAYS been a pyramid scheme.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Rest in peace, thanks for fighting for a better world.

Instagram post from former player Nicole Baxter following the appearance of her former teammate on a conservative news network this morning.
It reflects what others probably feel: have the conversation internally, not in a way that explicitly opens up players to abuse - that’s inexcusable.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.
Maaaaan, this. So much this. Every time there's any kind of actual in-depth survey we find that the American people are *abysmally* ignorant about even the most basic political facts, but the pundit class just immediately forgets & proceeds with political analysis based on subtle policy differences.
Feels like so many of our convos are revolving about how voters respond to what politicians are doing, or what parties’ positions on issues are, without much actual empirical sense of what they actually know about those topics.
