No one knows what 2026 will look like in the WNBA.
Players are still in contentious negotiations with the league over a new collective bargaining agreement, with an Oct. 31 deadline approaching.

For Mercury, Aces, the present is the WNBA Finals. The future is unknown.
As championship series begins, front offices have no idea what the league will look like with nearly every player set to be a free agent ahead of a new CBA.

This is so good I want to frame it.
"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

My Canadian favourites: 1. Not asking where anyone is from, specially not “originally from”! 2. Complaining no stop about the weather 3. Eating bagels going back home from a soirée 4. Normalizing frequent apologies. Happy Canada Day: elbows up! #ItsACanadianThing

Hello #Kanada, would you welcome your child back? All I want is the comfort of home. Like a little child with a PhD worth of possible contributions. Think about it.

Elon Musk Also Has a Problem with Wikipedia
Lately, Musk’s beef has merged with a general conviction on the right that the site is biased against conservatives.

Profiling and segregating in this country is so bad. My name and phone number got in some database. I’d not like to believe that the fact I have a name that is not common in N. America makes them reach out to offer me minimal wage positions.

Sometimes I see a study being shared and think "we've already seen this result, is this an older one being reshared?", I click through & see that no, this is a newer study further confirming even "mild" covid can have at least a full year's negative impact (here, on your brain).

Phone use etiquette is not mainstream. For my own piece of mind, I decided that the only unreasonable failures to observe it would be 1. Driving 2. Sitting and texting at gym equipment.
Both are quite disruptive and unsafe for other people.
