Perfect news for me today. 😩

You still rep your school when they get crushed in the WBB national championship game, but you do it wearing all black. #waittillnextyear #forevertothee #gococks

Before I drown my WBB sorrows by reviewing abstracts for the SABR convention this summer, here are my March reads. Never miss a Howard Bryant book. Liked The Godfather. Never read anything like @nnedi.bsky.social 's book. Enjoyed it Still enjoying the CJ Archer series on audio. Liked Constellation.

It's all of this. If I was Schumer or Jeffries, I would show up at the White House and try to talk to him. He can't be reasoned with, but there would be a record that I tried. I'm not blaming the Dems, but it doesn't seem like anyone is doing anything. It's past time to show up and make some noise.

"I know Geno personally reached out and apologized to Dawn Staley" - Rebecca Lobo on the game broadcast "I haven't heard from Geno" - Dawn Staley during post game interviews 🙄🙄🙄🙄 #southcarolina #finalfour #ncaa #marchmadness #uconn

Dawn Staley said she hasn't heard from Geno Auriemma. "But let's keep it UCLA, them winning the national championship. Again, I will address all of that at another time. It's not this weekend. We're not gonna dampen UCLA's day with it."

I'll always support my school, but going to the gym was a better use of my time than watching the 4th quarter of that game. Ugh. My other alma mater's WBB team lost in the NIT championship game. What a weekend for my schools. Heavy sigh.

Decades of broken windows policing and the decimation of third spaces are integral parts of the rampant fascism we're living through now.

THIS IS TOO STRESSFUL. Let's go, Gamecocks.

🤙🐓

FWIW "Impeach The President" remains a banger youtu.be/wqbEsS5kFb8?...

Honestly, after that Trump post, I’m begging @nytimes.com, @apnews.com, @reuters.com, @washingtonpost.com, @npr.org and all of the other newspapers and media outlets to take this seriously. This is not normal and we need to stop pretending. This is a crisis.

So many people who don't cover WBB or the Gamecocks are writing about this using oddly flowery or overly dramatic language. Mostly everyone is supporting Dawn, so maybe it is a new day for women's sports? Anyway ... get up! It's game day!!! My school is playing for the championship. 🤙🐓 #gococks

This is an example of when a politician running for office jump on a bandwagon. The South Carolina women's basketball team are not the Lady Gamecocks. They are the Gamecocks. Welcome, if you're really interested, though! You picked a good time to start watching.

Or she could continue being awesome and a legend and an incredible leader in her field. Women's sports is enough.

This. It doesn't matter if they don't know how to properly run the team or they won't properly run the team. They need to sell.

This is truly iconic.

🧊✈️🏒 THE NEW JERSEY DEVILS flew to Montreal Saturday to play the Canadiens tonight, on one of the same GlobalX planes (tail: N837VA) that flew to CECOT last year 👀

Trump is not spending $500 million on White House to leave it anytime soon. Again: Trump will not leave the White House alive. Either he will die before Jan 2029, or we will have to be removed by force after that.

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

Let's go Hogs!

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

If you haven't already read Dawn's book, this weekend is a good time for it.

April staff picks are mine! These are some of my favorite books that we own in print. There are many more that will be rotated in when these go out. @kathleenmrooney.bsky.social @librarianjones.com @melissaludtke73.bsky.social @vermontgmg.bsky.social @karnythia.bsky.social #saturdaylibrarian

Good morning to Dawn Staley and the people who would run through a wall for her only.

I'm not really sure why people are so confused or disappointed by Geno's behavior. It tracks.

I don't care for the framing of "things get heated between Geno and Dawn." It implies they were both responsible. This is 100% on Geno. He's a sore loser. Can't accept responsibility. Has to make it about him instead of the team who beat his team. Smash the patriarchy. #gococks

Oh, snap.

It's especially nasty because Dawn had a certain crowd on her head after last season's loss, claiming that she was a mediocre X's & O's coach. Today's win was a coaching masterclass on her part, and she can't even get her flowers because that crusty old grandpa threw a tantrum

Thoughts and prayers to Lobo who has to call another game tonight after her alma mater got beat by South Carolina and her coach once again showed everyone what a sore loser he is. #sorrynotsorry

espn airing replays to prove geno wrong on the jersey rip and the handshake. journalism isn’t dead.

I just think Geno would look a lot prettier if he smiled more

Perfection.

In conclusion, SCOREBOARD.

Kayleigh Heckel with a point blank miss and is overcome by emotion. The story of this game isn't the officiating. It is South Carolina completely knocking the 38-0 UConn Huskies off their game. #WCBB #MarchMadness

This counts as another Eagles win over the Patriots fyi

Yup.

Men are too emotional for sports

Now Andrea is making excuses for Geno? Come on.

They choose to go to UConn. They know what they're getting into.

Not a good look for Geno. I hope we get more of an explanation. Dawn deserves to be mad.

Hoops is a players’ sport. Only a small number of basketball coaches are more additive than players. Only a small number could beat you with their players or your players. Dawn Staley is one of those coaches. And she would’ve won with UConn’s players. And that’s why Geno threw a shit fit.

🤙🐓. Stay mad, Geno. #gococks

I'm not sure Geno can blame this one on the refs when his players have missed that many layups.

Lobo making excuses for Geno. Right on time. #gococks

NEW — “The Chicago High School Baseball Classic is a critical part of the Black Baseball Media mission, offering young athletes a chance to play on a professional-level field while bringing awareness to the talent emerging from public schools," its founder said. thetriibe.com/2026/04/sime...

It’s genuinely jaw‑dropping to watch people willing to torch our nearly 250‑year experiment in democracy just to follow an increasingly unstable, criminally convicted reality‑show charlatan.
