What’s interesting is how people like to think of Cathy Engelbert as a uniquely rogue agent as WNBA commissioner but, when you read stuff like this, you realize her and Silver are actually walking much more parallel paths than initially thought. Lord help basketball fans everywhere.

The NBA keeps making the same offer over and over again to the WNBA players. The WNBA players keep asking for less. So far, this process has given the NBA $589 million. Who says doing nothing doesn't pay? wagesofwins.substack.com/p/how-much-m...

A good article - worth 5 min of your time. #Unrivaled cannot replicate the incredible show we saw in the 1on1 competition, especially the epic final series of Gray v. Gray. And don't get me started on the #MNBA - no f'ing way those filthy rich men could, or would, be able to match this.

Let’s play a game: share of picture of your most obscure piece of #WNBA related merch. Mine? A Lynx-branded nightlight that I very proudly use

Before conservatives appropriated "wokeness" as a political pejorative for things that give white people the heebie jeebies, Black people used the term to describe a state of social consciousness necessary to resist white supremacy. Either way, it also describes Jesse Jackson.

Love how she laughed in his face. The audacity is wild. Btw I don’t even watch skiing but she just made me a fan. Followed! 😂 🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾

As the WNBA CBA negotiations continue, the clock is ticking. WNBPA vice president Napheesa Collier is confident the season will happen, but it won't come without compromise. "Well, someone's gonna have to fold, aren't they?" Collier told USA TODAY.

The WNBPA gotta say no deal and stand firm. The fans have their back and we’re not going anywhere #wnba

The #WNBA using “unrealistic” is so condescending and demeaning to these intelligent and educated players.

but he outchea just mongering, rev!!!!

Angel Reese is baaaack 🙌🏾 I’m so grateful 🌹🥹 I needed this! #Unrivaled #WNBA 💜🩵

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich... "That's just how it is."

yep. pretty much. and bcz of overuse, those times are coming back...

Random trivia: the 1998 music video for "You Know My Steez" by one of Hip Hop's greatest groups, Gang Starr, was a visual retelling of THX-1138.

Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill — despite profits hitting $90B — thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund. Quite a return on investment, huh?

The southern Iberian, particularly the Algarve, remains one of the coolest cultural places I’ve ever been. I don’t see it being topped anytime soon. From Moorish Iberia to Sicily, areas where Islamic/western culture overlapped will always be peak. Especially when you get to food.

Apparently the Arabization of the island of Sicily was extremely thoroughgoing, and we literally could have Big Malta today if Frederick II hadn't decided that all (Siculo-)Arabic speaking peoples were to be deported from the island We were robbed of Latin-Greek-Arabic Sicily, feelsbadman

WOW! just WOW! - are they sure this is from the WSJ?? Things must be getting really bad and/or they see something really bad coming down the road if things don't change.

The Trump regime deported a 2-month-old baby and his family after the infant was hospitalized following their detention at the Dilley family detention center. Rep. Joaquin Castro says the family was shipped off with only the money in their commissary — $190. The cruelty is endless.

Hear me out #unrivaled We’re about to be in Brooklyn, NY - huge labor city. How about we give the players space and time to announce a strike. Call up who all we can from Nashville and let’s get it done. Could be super powerful! #wnba #unionstrong

INBOX: The Seattle Storm have finalized their coaching staff, announcing the hiring of Natalie Achonwa, Jarell Christian and Michael Joiner as assistant coaches for the upcoming season. #SeattleStorm #SeattleSports #WNBA

This post is going to both my Threads and Bluesky account. I'm going to stay classy regarding the WNBA CBA negotiations. I continue to see the hate posts toward the league from people I follow. That's sad. I hope for this season too. I'm not going to write vile or weird posts. Peace. #wnba

Interesting hires from Seattle. They tap former player Achonwa in addition to Joiner who has #WNBA years w PHX. Joiner and Raman know each other from being within the Memphis Grizzlies org. Christian comes from the G League, a place that #WNBA FOs have often hired from recently.

i mean … they can try? is the prize money gonna be roughly equal to a max contract, cause those nba players aren’t going #unrivaled hard for 200k also, pay the w players!

If the @wnba.com cannot agree to the most recent PA offer, which has made significant concessions to strike a deal, I'm pulling for #Unrivaled 🏀 to put on a summer league. Could even play international arenas if US ones won't allow. Pen 🖋️ some streaming contracts and get those bags 💰 Beginning to

Hey NJ-10, I’m excited to invite you to my State of the District address. RSVP today to secure your seat!

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for standing up for himself and against tyranny. I've always been a fan of his — going way back to the Colbert Report years. I enjoyed chatting with him in August. Here's a brief clip from our discussion.

They also did it in Charlottesville. I know a lot of people thought her death would move the political needle but they are just going to call her a race traitor in their little groups just like they did white protesters during the height of the Civil Rights movement. These people love to hate.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Here is some history on the Emmett Till memorial

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

A man handed Mark Zuckerberg a stack of papers and said “you’ve been served with a summons and complaint” while the billionaire Meta CEO entered an LA courthouse. Zuckerberg was appearing for a case alleging his social media platforms deliberately addict and harm children.

Trump’s regulators have announced they will fight states’ attempts to regulate prediction markets. It just so happens that Donald Trump, Jr. is involved with both Polymarket & Kalshi, and the Trumps’ social media company is launching its own prediction market. Always follow the money.
