Per Shams, Cade Cunningham has been diagnosed with a collapsed lung and will miss extended time. Really rough news

NEW: When a Wisconsin mayor ended his city's contract with Flock (the AI surveillance company), he was stunned to see Flock refused to remove cameras. So he covered them with plastic bags. Now local activists are taking their fight to Madison & the Dane County sheriff, wanting more cameras gone.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

Key dates now that the WNBA has a new CBA 🏀 ◽️ April 6: Two expansion drafts ◽️ April 7–11: FA negotiation period ◽️ April 12–18: FA signing period ◽️ April 13: WNBA Draft ◽️ April 19: Training camp opens ◽️ May 8: Opening Night 💫

While consumer spending represents 70% of the US economy, the portion that is truly cyclical is only about 16%. @EPBResearch Augur Infinity augurdigest.com/p/au...

Really love this piece, captures something I've wanted to say for a long time. There's an "every accusation is a confession" aspect to this, of course -- nobody is more sweatily obsessed with performance &image than MAGA types -- but there's also something deepers going on.

Via @tennesseelookout.com: Tennessee legalized sports gambling in 2019 hoping for a new revenue source. Nearly seven years later, the state’s sports gambling tax revenue exceeds $100 million but the state’s Lottery-funded scholarship program faces an $80 million budget deficit. buff.ly/JMTEBHs

Here are the budgets for every women's basketball team in March Madness 💵🏀

She also claims the NBA system is a “net revenue sharing one”, but it’s not. The NBA’s division of “Basketball Related Income” counts all income from specifically negotiated “basketball related” sources. The NBA doesn’t then get to subtract arbitrary “expenses” before sharing revenue with players.

In this interview, Jackie Powell doesn’t seem to recognize that “net revenue sharing” basically means nothing. Net revenue, means the league makes the ultimate decisions about how much is left after whatever expenses it wants to claim. That is very different from gross revenue.

Listening to just the first 10 mins of this made me lose faith in the reporting we’ve been getting on the WNBA CBA. When reporters clearly don’t understand the significance of gross revenue vs. net revenue sharing or how these same owners divide revenue on the NBA side, that seems like a problem.

ICE is hitting Ypsilanti hard right now. My child has a classmate whose mother was deported. That is some traumatic sh*t for an elementary school kid. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

I bought my tickets to watch Michigan in the 1st and 2nd rounds of the NCAA Tournament #NCAAwbb

Yaxel Lendeborg stamps Michigan’s place in the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game. “Me? But I had like four points!” — Yaxel

Ian Eagle: "Boyd, BULLSEYE!" Bill Raftery: "HOO HOO! RIGHT IN THE EYE!" Ian Eagle: "Winding down, LENDEBORG... OH YEAH! THREE TENTHS ON THE CLOCK! THE BIG TEN PLAYER OF THE YEAR DELIVERS!" Bill Raftery: "THIS KID STEPPING UP WITH SOME MAJOR ONIONS!" 🏀🧅🧅🚨🎙️ #MarchMadness

YAXEL FOR THE WIN

This Big 12 court is hideous. It makes me not want to watch the end of Arizona vs Iowa St

Part way through episode 62 of Yanxi Palace and I continue to be furious

Announcer 1: "I think Wisconsin just got a gift." Announcer 2: "Instead of commenting on it, let's just move on." #mbb

we are losing so much talent, progress, and hope for no good reason www.vox.com/future-perfe...

SCREAMING at Holly Rowe leaving the sourcing in her tweet and revealing it came from the league. Holly’s never been a journalist but this is fully amateur hour from a long-time member of the media.

Moscow has so far earned an estimated $1.3bn-$1.9bn windfall from taxes on oil exports, making it the biggest winner from the conflict in the Middle East. What does this mean for energy markets and the Russian economy? ft.trib.al/E4zE2us

I just watched episode 61 of Story of Yanxi Palace and now I want to flip a table

Three Ypsilanti women started a library in 1868 with 175 books. We've added a few since then. 🙂 Eunice Watling, Gloria Follett, and Sarah Pardee founded the Ladies Library Association of Ypsilanti, and what began as a small reading room eventually became the library you know today.

Just great - an unvaccinated dude brought measles from Florida to Ypsilanti. I hope this doesn't spread in the community. Looks like I'm not going to Sidetrack anytime soon... 😕

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

“this just proves MJ would average 50 in today’s NBA!” my friend if you dropped Michael Jordan into the 2026 NBA his career would last exactly one day after he found out about FanDuel

I didn't watch Heat vs Wizards #NBA How does an individual player get 43 FTs and 22 3PA? Was it ugly watching a game with 88 FTs?

Might I recommend buying WNBA apparel from Breaking T instead of the team store. breakingt.com/collections/...

1. Get fired from Comcast for sexual harassment 2. Get hired by Larry Ellison's Paramount 3. Immediately get mired in an investigation over leaking inside information to a media manipulator who seeded favorable stories in the press 4. Get sued by that same media manipulator for failing to pay

University of Michigan produces a tremendous number of talents in the visual arts, music, film, theater, literature & more, & several U-M publications/colleges do a good job of documenting the creative pursuits of the university's students, teachers & alumni.

Saudi Aramco reducing output at two oilfields, two sources say reut.rs/4bx8GZF

Coach K being a decades long generational talent at villainy saved Tom Izzo's wider reputation

One of the nice things about beating MSU is that Izzo will prolong the experience like tantric sex.

Every Michigan - MSU game where UM is up by 2+ possessions near the end takes forever. Izzo plays the free throw game

It's that same backwards groin kick action again for Fears

Michigan matches up better with UCLA than Iowa #NCAAWBB

I would like Michigan to score more points #NCAAwbb

A young Michigan team honored their seniors after moving onto the Big Ten Tournament semifinals and Syla Swords described the vibe of her “sing-songy” team and how they bond through fishing of all things 🎣 Video made with @rowanschaberg.bsky.social for @theixsports.bsky.social 🤩

The Michigan Daily writer should probably ask the athletic department why Kendall Dudley is listed as a guard on mgoblue.com. She mostly works the post and is the direct sub for Ashley Sofilkanich.
