Very hard to read this description of WNBA players as the “most miserable, narcissistic, entitled brats on the planet” without seeing straight-up misogyny. @post-gazette.com owes @wnba.com a public apology.
Article text says “There are very few groups I can think of that collectively have taken the little spotlight they now have (thanks to one player whom they all hate) and turned it into a disaster. This league was better off when nobody ever had to hear from any of them as they are the most miserable, narcissistic, entitled brats on the planet. The commissioner should assign only about one or two of them to be allowed to speak. All they do is complain, whine and act as if they are owed something, and it is just a miserable bunch of people to have to deal with. As for their shirts, I mean, if they they are owed relative to what the league makes, they are in for some sticker shock.”

Pennsylvania family dairy farm has taught cows to be milked by robots—and the cows love it www.post-gazette.com/local/region... @blueheronfarm.bsky.social
When cow wants to be milked it goes to a gated stall where a transponder on their collar is scanned. If they have not been milked within the last few hours, the gate closes behind them, a feed bucket pops up, a robot milking machine latches on, and the cow is milked while it eats.
