🚨NEW WORDS ALERT🚨 She doesn't care for the attention and outside noise, but she deserves a lot of it. Kiah Stokes has been an absolute monster defensively and deserves your respect. On her historic run: sports.yahoo.com/wnba/article...

sports.yahoo.comKiah Stokes' historic defensive run continues as Valkyries tie up WNBA FinalsStokes became the first player in WNBA Finals history to log at least three blocks in four straight games.

WNBA journalists simply are not up to the task. You can’t just platform this bigotry uncritically and act like you’re doing any journalism at all. You’ve let yourself become a conduit and tool for bigotry and these people know they can use you

EXCLUSIVE: "People are like, 'You have a platform. Use it,' and then once you use it, it's like, 'Go back to playing basketball.'” "We can be a great example of how to do both." Sophie Cunningham talks the ongoing WNBA discourse around trans athletes:

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”

Full quote on Natalie Nakase’s answer to being asked about what she thinks about regarding the ongoing Sophie Cunningham/trans-athletes debate that's swept across the WNBA - kenzo fukuda on x "Im all about women, little girls deserving to play & that includes trans women...im all about inclusivity"

@sabreenajm.bsky.social why continue to platform Sophie? Why does your article not interview any trans fans or allies who were there in support of the community? The framing of this as just about “oh an athlete said stuff and now there’s things happening” without comment is cowardly

I believe there is an outstanding basketball player under all of the whining, mass hysteria and the rest that comes with Caitlin Clark, but lord does she make it hard to give her the benefit of the doubt. In this one instance, I beg: SHUT. UP. AND. DRIBBLE.

Wrote about Caitlin Clark whining, the Valkyries winning (and winning and winning and winning), and my Liberty doing too much of the former and not enough of the latter as they try to avoid going 0-3 against the Wings the-post-presence.beehiiv.com/p/wnba-round...

Had to realize the vision in my head. Love the way Gabby is just taking stars out of these games (I may feel very dumb about this after Friday lol) #gsv #valkyries #wnba

Update: The stunning draft night trade between the Valkyries and Storm was agreed upon before any player selections were made, Golden State general manager Ohemaa Nyanin told ESPN. “I want to be super clear: this had nothing to do with Flau’jae.” www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down. But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.

what the hell is this revisionist nonsense? This *did not happen*—except in the minds of the far-right. You're buying their bad faith bullshit. MAGA called for and now is building a white ethnostate b/c *they are white nationalists*. That's what they do. FFS

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

After Jonathan Ross shoots Renee Good in the face - according to his own camera phone - he says “fucking bitch.” Her last words were “we’re not mad at you.” These are not symmetrical times.

Peep the lanugage from Monty McCutchen about WNBA ref Jenna Reneau's move to the NBA: "Congratulations to Biniam, Pat and Jenna on their advancement to our NBA staff.... All three officials have worked diligently to reach the pinnacle of their profession."

This is absolutely wild. All 10 starters in the #WNBA Finals are Black women. And you use this photo of 1. A white woman who hasn't played since the All-Star break and 2. A white woman eliminated in the first round. 3. With neither team in the Finals. Be better, @usatodaysports.usatoday.com #WNBA

The Golden State Valkyries set the all-time WNBA attendance record for average attendance (18,064) and total fans (397,408) during their inaugural regular season, and sold out all 22 regular-season home games at Chase Center. #WNBA

Valkyries have to be the best story in the WNBA. An expansion team missing key pieces has won 3 in a row and is sitting at 5-5. One of the most entertaining teams in the W.

The widespread use of consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." is bad for our brains and bad for society. Stop using them and push back on all the clowns trying to force them into education.

it has never been more dangerous to be jewish in this country and it has nothing to do with college students protesting genocide and everything to do with nazis controlling the white house.
