1) Mitchell is a great reporter. I'd be thrilled to publish freelance works from him, and I hope he gets a job soon.
2) Vox needs to either let SB Nation sunset with dignity or commit resources to actually run it. Doing this slowmotion bleed out is unfair to readers, staffers, and shit, even brands

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

“As centers’ jobs become easier, it’s harder to stand out as a post player, and the centers of yesteryear are trying to diversify their games. Sometimes that leads to Cameron Brink and Awa Fam. Sometimes that leads to Alissa Pili and Lorela Cubaj.”
Is the WNBA on a path to a future without centers? As our @emilyadler.bsky.social writes, the stream of true center prospects may be drying up, or at least taking new form as the game evolves.
The 2026 WNBA Draft may be the last great class for centers - The IX Basketball
Fewer centers are being drafted highly anymore, but the next few WNBA draft classes are even more extreme. Why?

Getting leverage against employers in labor negotiations is smart negotiating.
Getting leverage through a league run by a country that’s sports-washing human rights violations that would not hesitate killing most of your other league’s players? The players you represent in negotiations? 😬

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.
Gen Z women aren't playing around.
