Cal will have a new head coach in 2026. Talked about why this decision needed to be made to move on from Justin Wilcox today. Read here: writeforcalifornia.com/p/justin-wil...

I say this as someone who wastes his life watching Cal football of all things: At a certain point, you watch a guy scratch out another 5, 6 wins and a sad bowl appearance and you wonder why are we even bothering with this shit? We could develop interesting hobbies and rich inner lives.

all of these little guys are so fucking weird. “If one of your five closest friends is an AI companion... I think that will raise the emotional intelligence of most people and really smooth out the variance in people,” Schiffmann said. “There’ll be a lot less weird, chaotic things.”

this goes hard

6-7: it’s not just a trend among the young people it’s how every Justin Wilcox-led Cal team inevitably finishes

“It's home right now. It's home for us. It's home for the foreseeable future." PayPal Park, is the home of the 2025 championshup game, and for now, Bay FC. They still intend to have their own stadium eventually, but for now, San Jose is home | @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/sports/artic...

Visited @bampfa.bsky.social for this show & if you’re in the Bay Area, can’t recommend it enough (closes on 11/30). Beautiful, moving, informative, left me with so much to think about. 👏👏👏 to curator Elaine Yau & the insightful woman who gave the tour (Kira maybe?). bampfa.org/program/rout...

there's a loophole - the cupcakes can go because no one said I couldn't have cake

absolutely love the fact that the NWSL final is at the same time as Big Game 😒

When a league that has 13 teams has 13 head coach openings in two years and 8 teams hire men,that is not progress….@WNBA

Very interesting contrast to the infamous exploding whale story (gift link)

PayPal has rolled out a new "feature" that prompts you to leave feedback about an artist that you've commissioned via invoice. Whatever you do, DO NOT fill this out! To quote Admiral Ackbar, "IT'S A TRAP!!!" It is meant to misguide you. (continue...)

The NWSL can change the salary cap whenever it wants. So why hasn't it done so to keep top players? | @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/sports/artic...

everybody's got their kinks 😏

South Florida is whooping Duke's ass right now, if you want to watch it on ESPNU #NCAAWBB #WCBB #ACC

Vaginal speculum (c.1820) used to apply leeches to a woman’s cervix to remove excess blood thought to cause illness. This speculum used a scissor-like action to expand. It locked open, freeing the physician’s hands to apply the leeches. Follow me if you need to feel better about living in 2025!

A former Pittsburgh Steelers player, Skyline alumni, Laney football players, the Oakland Fire Department Chief, and others tell us what Coach Beam meant to them.

“We do not believe the NWSL is a charity. We believe it is a business, and to treat it like a business, it means that the amount that our teams are investing has to have a rational relationship to revenue.” Jessica Berman talked today | @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/sports/artic...

For Big Game week between Cal and Stanford I tracked down the anonymous Oski and Stanford Tree who got into a nationally televised brawl on ESPN 30 years ago that required police intervention.

BASKETBALL 🤝 ACTIVISM 🤝 REPRESENTATION

man I am a sucker for a good export control violation

Reposting this. I'm just so disgusted by what used to be sports media. More interested in betting lines than player suicides. That's not a hot-take opinion. We have the data here. It's a fact. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Sun 11/23: “Born in Flames” (1983) + “Stranger Inside” (2001) Lizzie Borden’s “Born in Flames” is a radical vision of feminist revolt set in a dystopian NY. Followed by Cheryl Dunye’s “Stranger Inside,” a women’s prison drama centering a young Black lesbian. Borden in person! Free: ucla.in/3LUEYU1

Thread. “AI is patching up the holes in conspiracy theories and so making them seem more reasonable, making them easier to spread and more resilient to collapse” was not on my bingo card. AI relieves the pressure of cognitive dissonance. That’s … not great.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

I saw a brand new tesla with dealer plates the other day, and I somehow resisted running them off the damn road.

You can't email me this information unsolicited and then expect me to keep this information embargoed. The American people need to know.

hi friends. I’m running for president of the Association for Women in Sports Media after years on the board. If you’re a member, I’d appreciate your vote. This organization means a lot to me and I want to help it thrive. members received the email with the ballot today.

Mo'ne Davis spent years telling people that she was done playing baseball. She did not want to be forever defined by what she did as a 13-year-old in Little League, a decade ago, and she did not feel like there was space for her to do much else. And then she felt differently. On Davis and the WPBL:

sadly hasn't seemed to affect any work systems 😒
