Only watching this game with 25% of my attention, but USA's keeper doesn't inspire confidence.

Valkyries bench mob outscoring the starters in the first half by 3 points. 🏀

I think this announcer just said "That's the spurtability of Golden State"..? #GSV 🏀

It's not a bad sign if they get over it and build a real team! 🏀

You could really land in a lot of trouble if you forgot it was Monday.

...and Waymos causing traffic jams, but the article leans heavily on this being SFMTA's fault.

I love how this makes it sound like *transit* was the problem with the jams. It was cars. Lots and lots of cars.

FIFA has always been corrupt, this is not some new development. I'm not saying this to be complacent. I'm saying that the ultra wealthy are always grifting & if something is successful because of athletes & fans, they'll extract whatever they can at the expense of athletes & fans & anyone else.

A salary cap is always to benefit the people paying the salaries. *Always*.

The Gerald R. Ford Library has an online exhibition of things he was sent by the public for the Bicentennial. Some stuff I liked: this scroll by Chow Chian-Chiu and Chow Leung Chen-Ying. I wish I knew what the script says because it almost looks as if the eagle were saying it: "Don't eff this up!!"

BOOOOOOOOOO I feel like Pat Spencer games were pretty much the only time we got to have fun the last couple of seasons. 🏀

Fun map toy for seeing how people in various census tracts identify themselves: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Throwback Thursday: a tiny portion of the hours long fireworks barrage on Tuesday, July 4th 2023. This is looking toward the end of our block. Our neighbors must have spent a fortune on fireworks. If you turned to the right or left, the same thing was happening just blocks away. #Oakland

The ridiculousness of DC's fireworks show, from here. A barrage of incomprehensible* noise, light and health damaging pollution for 40 minutes: *If you blink, "you will miss between 35 and 142 fireworks" chadtopaz.com/essays/firew...

BALL DON'T LIE

"Installed" as in carried it down the block 😉

Cancelled my @theathletic.com subscription. It's not worth even 20 bucks to read the racism and misogyny in every comment section after a WNBA article. Eff this rag for not clamping down on it at all. they're not supporting women's sports if they're letting men show up and spill a bunch of hatred.

Gracie, trying to conjure walk number two.

Is she supposed to be smoking a fatty?? 🏀

Feeling sick just thinking about all the kids having their gender discussed & argued over by shitty adults, just because they want to play a sport. These people are hurting kids for the worst reasons. As an aside, this is a tool handed willingly to "coaches" who prey on children & young people.

Rich people ruin sports and sports-related things.

I have repeatedly reported sellers of fake seeds to Etsy for *years* and they haven’t done shit.

5 fouls on Chen- Juste minutes? 🏀

Wack ass ruling on that challenge. 🏀

My Dahlia “Twinings After 8” is going to bloom soon. I’ve had this languishing in a pot for years, and it’s never bloomed. Finally decided to feed it and that’s the difference. I am excited!

As someone who grew up watching the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy films with my dad, the movies cited in the thread below display an extremely narrow view of older comedy. It's not just films with John Belushi or Dan Ackroyd.

The chairs in our front room until recently (now awaiting new upholstery) are from the 30s. Stainless cutlery was given to my parents in the 60s. Iroquois Casual china used daily is from the 50s. Bedroom furniture sold through the Co-Op 1960. Gas stove 1954. Bar is a 50s Beautility model.

Oliver looking real muppety.

lol Gabby Williams into the camera after the win: "For THE GAYS!!!" Ballhalla got to witness a great Pride Night game 🏀

Also the Valkyries need some violet headbands. The Dream look great in the blue ones. 🏀

I love that I know Ballhalla is doing the wave even when they don't show the crowd. 🏀

Repeatedly reminding myself to Not Engage, But Block over the last few days. I am not always successful.

I hate hate hate the way muted words break threads. There's not even a way to know that a thread exists, or continues. Please change this @support.bsky.team

This is really great. 🏀

Oooh that Ceci long three! 🏀

ICE can no longer arrest immigrants at courthouse hearings or detain them for over 12 hours in short-term holding cells anywhere in the country, a federal judge in California ruled Tuesday. missionlocal.org/2026/06/judg...

Shoutout @annkillion.bsky.social and @johnsheahey.bsky.social for not backing down.

Just a parade of (mostly) great tailoring. Nate Ament is my favorite, but I would have rec'd a contrasting shirt and a larger tie knot.

CC is a really good basketball player. She also acts like an embarrassing jerk, which is a choice. 🏀

I'm curious why NN is sticking like glue with this starting lineup in spite of the fact that some other lineups are putting up better numbers. #GSV 🏀

Sometimes these games are pretty tough, but generally they are fairly straightforward once you get the eye for it. gerrymandle.cc/day/42 Day 42 - Won the election! 💎 Flawless victory · 🏆 Optimal map

It just feels like the clear sense of purpose the Valkyries used to have only exists in the bench unit now. Something up with VB? 🏀

GSV needs a microwave scorer off the bench that can come in the game, make a couple buckets and change the energy. This team looks defeated in the second quarter. 🏀

This would be a good time for Nat to change up the personel on the floor! 🏀

Rushed to turn on the GSV game and it's golf? 🏀

His assistant showed up and they are talking it over.

Sure looked like Dantas elbowed Reese first, but yeah, you can't respond to that in that way and not get a flagrant 🏀

Not sure this guy we hired really know that much about rehanging windows

Halftime kills the Valkyries momentum *every* time. It's almost like there's a C02 leak in the locker room. They look like a different team when they come out in the third. 🏀
