Dude posting about that one time he did some rape, in what looks like a complaint about having done rape putting him on a sex offender registry. Now with alt-text
Screenshot from twitter. Christopher Aldana, username @chrisaldanaLLC At age 22, as a first year teacher, I engaged in a consensual encounter with a 16 year old who was not my student. There was no force, coercion, or predatory intent. Because I was employed as a teacher, the conduct was classified as a tier 3 sex offense and required lifetime sex offender registry placement 5:31 AM - 11/15/25 152K views 67 replies 106 retweets 23 likes 37 saves

The kitchen really is nice.
It's a nice little kitchen. You can see the oven I don't use and the dishwasher that doesn't work. On the right is a little island with a coffee machine and two stools. There's more room between and island and the counter that may appear.

Also, I realize the Akron Zips aren't really tough competition, but WTF, Hannah Hidalgo? That's just RUDE
Possibly homophobic Hannah Hidalgo scores 44 points and has... 16 steals? SIXTEEN STEALS?

Now I remember why I almost quit on college basketball early last season.

Good teams do play other good teams, it's just kinda rare this early in the season. At the end, it's all good teams, and the enjoyment is richer for having followed the season.

What if it's a tiny tank?
Professional wrestler Shotzi Blackheart in her very small tank, with a skull in the front. She's wearing a reasonably modern helmet, but with horns. She has green hair. Have I mentioned she's in a tiny tank?

I read this terrible editorial, and it is incredibly bad. I could point to just about any paragraph, but I'll just post this one, that is so divorced from reality that reality may have
a restraining order against it by now.
Supporters of free markets have failed to articulately make their case in New York, and Mamdani’s success is a warning to business-friendly Democrats that they’ll have to do better. It’s not enough to say socialism is bad; defenders of the American system have to show why people’s lives are improved by economic freedom — and why many American failures are often the result of government intervention rather than a free market run amok. Curis Sliwa, the Republican candidate in New York, could have done that but instead focused on animus for Cuomo and niche issues like no-kill animal shelters.

I'm on a bunch of blocklists, and that's fine and good. I'm an anti-zionist trans immigrant Jew. The blocklists come with the territory.

But this one is genuinely insulting.

This is the list. Can anyone who isn't blocked by it check to see if it's astroturfing?

I don't want to dunk, and I don't want to argue.

I was just surprised at the idea that Dr. Phil HAD thousands of employees. That... that's a lot of employees for an operation around one guy.

In the actual article, the fired employees number in the dozens.
Link to a rawstory article about the collapse of Dr. Phil's media company. The skeet accompanying it, by Khashoggi's Ghost, says: Dr. Phil went full MAGA and tried to reinvent himself as a MAGA media mogul and culture warrior. Now his world is unraveling, his media company is laying off thousands and had to file for bankruptcy, and he's being sued for fraud. The whole plan is collapsing. Dozens of employees have been laid off as it averaged just 27,000 weekly viewers, broadcasting partnerships floundered and, in July, it filed for bankruptcy.

My most generous interpretation is that this was written by AI.

Because surely the editorial board of the WaPo wouldn't write something this stupid.

Yeah, fuck. The editorial board of the WaPo in 2025 absolutely would.
Mamdani boasts that, during a pilot program last year, there were fewer violent altercations between drivers and passengers who refuse to pay. That just means those dangerous people were now onboard with everyone else.

Napheesa Collier goes full scorched earth on Cathy Engelbert and WNBA leadership.

Let the bodies hit the floor.
"First of all, I'd like to congratulate the Mercury for advancing to the Finals. I want to be clear this conversation is not about winning or losing, it's about something much bigger. The real threat to our league isn't money, it isn't ratings or even missed calls or even physical play. It's the lack of accountability from the league office. Since I've been in the league, you've heard the constant concerns about officiating and it has now reached levels of inconsistency that plague our sport and undermine the integrity with which it operates. Whether the league cares about the health of the players is one thing, but to also not care about the product we put on the floor is truly self-sabotage. Year after year, the only thing that remains consistent is the lack of accountability from our leaders. The league has a buzzword that they rolled out as a talking point for the CBA as to why they can't pay the players what we're worth; that word is sustainability. But what's truly unsustainable is keeping a good product on the floor while allowing officials to lose control of games. Fans see it every night. Coaches, both winning and losing, point it out every night in pre- and post-game media. And leadership just issues fines and looks the other way. They ignore the issues that everyone inside the game is begging them to fix. That is negligence. At Unrivaled this past February, I sat across from Cathy and asked how she planned to address the officiating issues in our league. Her response was, 'Well, only the losers complain about the refs.' I also asked how she planned to fix the fact that players like Caitlin, Angel and Paige, who are clearly driving massive revenue for the league, are making so little for their first four years. Her response was, 'Caitlin should be grateful she makes $60 million off the court because without the platform the WNBA gives her, she wouldn't make anything.' In that same conversation, she told me 'players should be on their knees thanking their lucky stars for the media rights deal that I got them.' That's the mentality driving our league from the top. We go to battle every day to protect a shield that doesn't value us. The league believes it succeeds despite its players, not because of them. I have the privilege of watching my husband run a league where he has to balance 100 different things at once. I won't pretend the job is easy, but even with all of that on his plate, he always reaches out to players when he sees an injury, whether it's Unrivaled or even during the WNBA season. That is what leadership looks like. It's the human element, it's basic integrity, and it's the bare minimum any leader should embody. But do you know who I haven't heard from? Cathy. Not one call, not one text. Instead the only outreach has come from her No. 2 telling my agent that she doesn't believe physical play is contributing to injuries. That is infuriating. And it's the perfect example of the tone deaf, dismissive approach that our leaders always seem to take. I've finally grown tired. For too long, I've tried to have these conversations in private, but it's clear there's no intention of accepting there's a problem. The league has made it clear it isn't about innovation, it isn't about collaboration, it's about control and power. I've earned this platform and I paid the price to get here, and now I have a responsibility to speak on behalf of the fans and everyone in this league that deserves better. Our leadership's answer to being held accountable is to suppress everyone's voices by handing out fines. I'm not concerned about a fine. I'm concerned about the future of our sport. At some point, everyone deserves to hear the truth from someone who I hope has earned the benefit of the doubt to fight for what is right and fair for our athletes and our fans. We have the best players in the world. We have the best fans in the world. But right now we have the worst leadership in the world. If I didn't know exactly what the job entailed, maybe I wouldn't feel this way, but unfortunately for them, I do. We serve a league that has shown they think championship coaches and Hall of Fame players are dispensable, and that's fine, it's professional sports. But I will not stand quietly by and allow different standards to be applied at the league level."

There are many products that are specific to Canada, or just not available in Israel, just as there are many that can be found in both.

One product that is definitely not available back in the bad place is what I've settled on as my choice for a daily evening edible. I eat a half each time.
On the left we have a blue package of Chowie Wowie balanced thc/cbd 10mg chocolate. On the right we have the chocolate itself. It is not to scale, being considerably smaller in real life.

A Ruin, Great and Free, @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social's conclusion to the Convergence Saga is, in a word, stunning.

Turnbull set himself up a really difficult task of tying this multiversal series in the microgenre I've been calling Quantum Fantasy, and did it in incredible fashion.
It's the audiobook version of the cover for A Ruin, Great and Free by Cadwell Turnbull. There's a dark background with some green dots that coalesce around an eye, some worm things, a were-creature, and a single hand. The text appears fractured.

You know what's the best roster of any basketball team? Fenerbahçe. Starters are good, but the bench is crazy. Especially when it comes to the bigs, this team is wild.
Fener depth chart. Starters are: Iliana Rupert, Emma Meesseman, Gabby Williams, Kayla McBride, Julie Allemand First round of bench includes Jonquel Jones, Mo Billings, and Beck Allen. Second round of bench players includes Dominique Malonga and Megan Gustafson.
