I wrote about CNN partnering with a gambling app that lets you wager on famine in Gaza, what this shift portends in our media, the obvious moral hazards of this arrangement, and “news” as politically impotent, disempowering spectator sport

Time and time again the media reports from the owners point-of-view in the WNBA labor negotiations. Time and time again journalists offer no evidence supporting NBA claims.

If something is not supported by evidence, it is simply an assertion. It is not a fact.

Sports Press Covers WNBA Negotiations From Owners’ Point of View
Too many news reports have catered to owners' interests when reporting on the negotiations between the players' union and the league.

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

Sooo many folks I’m excited to work with on Mamdani’s technology transition committee. All hands on deck to bring the Affordability Agenda to life: childcare, housing, transportation.

While its easy to get swept up in personality, this is a group focused on peoples real needs. LETS KEEP THE FOCUS.

After one of the worst acts of racial terror in our history, *we erased it.*

We didn't teach it.

We didn't take anyone to trial.

Police records disappeared.

So did newspaper archives.

The silence continued until 2020, when people, you could say, woke up.

Chiney breaks down the new trend in coaching hires in the WNBA. I hope the teams led by women are in the top seven in 2026 so this trend ends. #WNBA

A shift in the WNBA.

In 2022, 6 black head coaches.

In 2026, 2 black head coaches, 0 black women.

There’s been progress — 7/15 are women, including 2 of color — but for a league that’s 60%+ black, does raise questions about why coaching hires don’t better reflect that.

Whenever resources flow to women’s sports, men follow, displacing women in coaching and leadership roles. See Title IX’s impact on women’s teams in university sports, for example. The logic now is that coaches who have coached in the MNBA are better. Not true, but what are facts to sexism?

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

The regime despises poor people, yes. And importantly it does not fear poor people as a political force. It's important to take both of these together to understand what they are doing with SNAP. They do not believe that they will incur lasting political costs for their current actions.

The man is sleeping during press conferences and meetings. He is going to the hospital and not divulging what's happening. He is continuing to post in unhinged ways. He's 1000% UNFIT to work anywhere. Who would hire an 80 year old man who was displaying this kind of behavior for ANY job at all?

I wish that we wouldn’t reduce sportswashing to Saudi Arabia. It is orientalizing and islamophobic to construct Muslim/Saudi women as perpetually oppressed.

I’m down to expand this definition to include the LV Aces sponsorship by Ring, which just made it easier for ICE to obtain camera footage. 🤷🏽‍♀️
Sports in 2025 in a nutshell: the President of the WNBA Players Association has chosen to align herself with perhaps the world’s foremost purveyor of human rights abuses against women while being the public face of a fight over the exploitation of WNBA players
