Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

The #WNBL is reporting the sad news that Sydney and Syracuse alum Tiana Managakahia has lost her battle with breast cancer. She was still actively playing NBL1 in the first week of August (a conference semi, no less). Hard to hear the news after seeing her just weeks ago. #FuckCancer

Reminder,
Twitch (and other platforms) don't allow creators to control what ads are run on their streams, videos/VODs, podcasts, etc.
PLEASE don't instantly assume we want this. We're very likely just as pissed off (if not more) than you are about this.
Help us yell at the platform instead.

Hulk Hogan was a hero to millions so it’s sad that his reputation was tarnished by persistent rumours that many of his matches were fixed

The #NBADraft is so slow, it's almost more tedious than the Brownlow Medal count. Almost.
Proposal for next year's Draft- remove the time limit on picks, but impose a word limit on the talking heads on the panel. 75 words each, then Mark Tatum walks onto the set and steals their mics.

Because I’m a huge nerd and possibly the only person who thinks this is interesting: the ESPN feeds on League Pass today had no #NBAFinals logos on the court, but the Korean and Spanish (Movistar Spain) feeds had Finals and Emirates branding. #NBA

i don't think there's a more self defeating anti-piracy system than streaming sites that don't let you take screenshots. i am trying to talk about your product on social media! for free! and you're making that logistically difficult just in case i'm dedicated enough to do it 30 times a second!

Time to hook #Eurovision directly into my veins. A thread! 🧵
(feel free to mute if you're waiting for the SBS prime-time replay later, Aussies not up at this hour are posting under #SBSEurovision.)
Non-spoiler observation: I do love the set/stage design. Very Discs of Tron.

Looks like seven Aussies make #WNBA rosters to start the new season:
CHI: Rebecca Allen
GSV: Steph Talbot
MIN: Alanna Smith (inj?)
PHX: Sami Whitcomb
SEA: Ezi Magbegor
WAS: Jade Melbourne, Georgia Amoore (inj)
Shaneice Swain was the last player cut by LA before their opener tomorrow at GS.

Never has an injury looked more obviously like an Achilles than that Tatum injury. Brutal.
