I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

Kate Martin bodied this silhouette challenge! How many did you get? #WNBA #Unrivaled

I can’t believe I’m seeing RUSH in concert next year. Not seeing them live was my biggest music regret. Sad that Neil Peart won’t be there, but excited to see Geddy and Alex. Never thought I’d get an opportunity. #Rush #Rushtour #50somethingtour #Rush2026

The Exododus was a flightless bird, so @joshuajfriedman.com - you have a right to be confused. They technically should have gone extinct. I think they quietly migrated to Staten Island.

Hello welcome to bluesky. We have every kind of anti-government radical left of center, and also, baseball

A Wonderfully Chaotic Game 7 Ends with the Dodgers as Repeat World Series Champions blogs.fangraphs.com/a-wonderfull...

The real loser in this World Series Game Seven is the strike zone. #WorldSeries

USA. 2025. Consistently giving Canada heart attacks.

So there's a superstar kid called Vlad Guerrero, a guy called Bichette hit a homer over what sounded like a guy called Edmonds, and a guy called Hoffman is trying to close the game. Did I just fall asleep for 25 years?

The bunt set this all up for Bo Bichette. #MLB #WorldSeries #BoBichette #JohnSmoltz

Double that one-hopped the wall.

A source familiar with the negotiations tells @theathletic.com that the WNBA also — so either party — has the ability to terminate the extension at any time with 48 hours' notice.

Via @seeratsohi.bsky.social Adam Silver snubbing #WNBA players the justice of revenue sharing despite historical precedent for having done so with #NBA players at a similar juncture in 1983. Definitely check out Seerat’s podcast about this topic on The Ringer. Always a quality listen. #WNBPA

Can confirm the WNBA and the WNBPA have agreed to a 30-day extension as they work towards a new collective bargaining agreement. The new deadline will be Nov. 30. The 30-day extension was initially offered by the league, as reported earlier this week

The White House fired all 6 members of the Commission of Fine Arts - the independent agency that would review Trump's construction projects. There’s no one Trump won’t fire to get away with tearing down the White House East Wing to build his tacky corporate-sponsored ballroom.

Teoscarvision! #worldseries

Props to the #NFLPA #WNBPA #WNBA #NFL

NEWS: The WNBA and the WNBPA are extremely unlikely to reach a new CBA by Friday’s deadline, according to the players’ union legal counsel. “In a dance, it takes two to tango. And it has been difficult to find a beat.” More from @benpickman.bsky.social ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible. Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

I really liked the energy Sonia Raman brought to the #NewYorkLiberty this past season. Glad she’s getting a shot with the #SeattleStorm It’s nice to see a non-white non-man get hired as head coach. #WNBA

I'm joined by @benclemens.bsky.social (Ben Prime while Temporarily Other Ben is out of town) to discuss Game 7 of the ALCS and preview the World Series.

A live look at the demolition of the White House's East Wing for Trump's ballroom.

From @classicjpow.bsky.social via @theixbasketball.bsky.social Sandy Brondello is heading to Toronto as their inaugural head coach. Y’all have one hell of a leader court side. #WNBA #torontotempo

Fantastic summary shared by @shameka23.bsky.social concerning the highly problematic #WNBA head coach hire by the Portland Fire We can’t let league growth become atrophied by monied #NBA interests Hire qualified coaches while focusing on the deserving women candidates Seems simple #portlandfire

The true Pumpkin Spice

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.

this is truly invaluable reporting

I am oversaturated by Jennifer Garner’s pertness. #mlb #mlbplayoffs #alcs

Oh look. Another under-qualified white guy gets a #WNBA head coaching job. New York Liberty… you don’t need to join the trend. #portlandfire

Absolutely with Dan Dickerson Don’t sweat it, buddy

Mariners win

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Heroes.

Michigan Avenue right now.

Adults and children alike were pulled from their Chicago apartments, crying and screaming, during a large overnight raid that has left tenants and neighbors shaken. https://cnn.it/4pPCXIt

I'M LOSING MY MIND IS THE SUBTEXT THAT GOOGLE AI GOT JAMES BLUNT AND TAL BACHMAN MIXED UP HOW DID THIS GET THROUGH THE MILLION LAYERS OF FOCUS GROUPS WITH NOBODY NOTICING

The reporters in the room for Commissioner Engelbert's press conference tonight deserve a ton of kudos. That was journalism. That was asking tough questions and pressing for answers. Those who want to be journalists covering the league should take note about how it's done.

The amount of exclamation points used is inversely proportional to the size of a man’s you-know-what.

Jane Goodall, the conservationist renowned for her groundbreaking chimpanzee field research and globe-spanning environmental advocacy, has died. She was 91.

'This president is off. He is unhinged and clearly double-minded and unstable," says Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Trump.

Clinches, MVPs, great players, oh my!

Jonathan Kolb: “And while we’re at it, let’s control the orbits of all the moons and planets.” Wants to be “somewhat god like” in the way to approach a chaotic universe. #WNBA #NewYorkLiberty (Appreciate the actual quote, @madkenney.bsky.social )

The great @howardmegdal.bsky.social sums up the New York Liberty’s self-imposed championship-or-bust head coaching guideline, which finds Sandy Brondello headed out the door despite adding another impressive season onto her Hall of Fame resume. Support @theixbasketball.bsky.social #WNBA

Breanna Stewart had it right. Jonathan Kolb has it wrong. Sandy Brondello deserved to keep her job with the New York Liberty. #WNBA #NewYorkLiberty

From @mylesehrlich.bsky.social per New York Liberty press release. I am stunned by the FOMO move here by Kolb and company. Sandy Brondello is a Hall of Fame head coach one year removed from a championship team. Not right. I quote Breanna Stewart: “What da fuck.” #WNBA

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.
