@androidfaithful.com @jasonhowell.bsky.social @ronxo.bsky.social @ohthatflo.bsky.social Hey, @queencodemonkey.dev does this qualify as pink or PANK?

Researching Democratic candidates for the US Senate race in Tennessee is bleak. Out of the 5 candidates on the ballot, 1 is running for Senate & Governor (not a good sign when you can't pick a race), 2 don't even have a website, & the ones that do have almost nothing about actual federal issues.

I'm glad that so many people I follow are enjoying the World Cup, but I could not care less. I guess to me, so much of my enjoyment in sports is knowing the teams and players, their backgrounds and stories, and seeing how they do in the actual game. So basically, I'm going to love the 2027 WWC. ⚽🏆

Reason number ♾️ why Cathy has to go. If you had to cancel last minute (for no reason), that's bad enough. But if you delay and delay, after it's already been promoted for a while, and then cancel? You're just a fundamentally unserious person who does not belong as the leader of the W.

The bird flu in dairy cows was in the back of my mind the whole time I made our ep about raw milk. When scientists find bird flu in dairy cows, they often find SO MUCH VIRUS in the milk. So much. open.spotify.com/episode/3VgP...

Hey Republican lawmakers, Buzz off. We don't want you involved in our sport, especially when it's very clear you have no earthly idea what you're talking about. Go peddle your culture war stuff somewhere else. - Signed, Real WNBA fans www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

Forgot to share this last night, but this is spot on. If Justices cannot "support and defend the Constitution of the United States," then they should be removed from office. Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, Alito, & Kavanaugh fail to defend the Constitution when they say the opposite of the 14th Amendment.

Once again the US Men's National Team confirms my quadrennial decision to not care about men's soccer. Now, let's get on to the important stuff - supporting the @uswnt.ussoccer.com and looking forward to the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil. Only 353 days to go.

I admit that I think that every newsletter from @tennesseelookout.com is worth reading, but today's issue is full of interesting news & great commentary. If you live in TN & haven't subscribed (for free!), what are you doing? Here's today's issue - newsletters.tennesseelookout.com/p/a-second-s...

@nashseverewx.com I think y'all will get a chuckle out of this.

I'm not trans, queer, an immigrant, or a woman, but I am a human being who has empathy. How have we gotten to the point where putting yourself in someone else's shoes is just impossible? Just let kids play sports & leave them alone. The government should not be judging who is & is not a girl/woman.

Weird how this never applies to the Second Amendment.

The fact that this was a 6-3 (or 5-4 depending on how you look at it) vote is an indictment of how far our country has fallen. This should have been 9-0 to uphold the Constitution, and that's if it was even to be considered in the first place.

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

The only other 4OT game in WNBA history was in 2001. And now we have another one in 2026! 🎶 This is the game that doesn't end It just goes on and on my friend🎶

We just got home at the end of the first overtime. Now this is something else! Anyone know the record for how many overtimes in one game? I know there's been another 3OT game, but has their ever been a 4OT+ game? Paging @richardcohen.bsky.social for historical reference.

@vicmsong.bsky.social @davidpierce.xyz Catching up on Vergecast episodes, & I have smartglasses question. We always say facial rec is bad because of the giant dataset that would be needed. Would it matter if you had to build your own dataset ala Google Photos? I had the thought, but I don't know.

Ties the WNBA single game scoring record, and they still have 2:42 left. 👀 I hope she blows it out of the water.

Chef's kiss, salute, tears, all of it

I learned the word "Luddite" in a grad school textbook about technology adoption, and it was definitely used as a pejorative. As with a lot of things from history, it's more complicated than a simple definition. If you have a couple of minutes, this is a good read (or listen).

@reckless.bsky.social @davidpierce.xyz Dudes, what is this ad?! I subscribe to @theverge.com for a lot of reasons, but seeing y'all do ads with predatory and garbage companies like Kalshi is not one of them.

How some AI companies are helping students cheat and helping teachers catch them.

Almost a month later, & this is still the view of the WNBA app in landscape on an iPad. It's like they tested this on an iPhone, said I'm sure iPads are the same, & just shipped it. $3 billion media deal, and they can't hire a couple of iOS devs who remember iPads exist? Come on @wnba.com.

If you live in Tennessee, or just care about Tennessee news, @tennesseelookout.com is an amazing free source of high quality news. The daily newsletter is one of the few I read everyday. Highly recommend! 👍👍

MTSU Bowl round 2 is on USA Network right now! Cheyenne Parker-Tyus and the @lvaces.bsky.social vs Alysha Clark and the @dallaswings.bsky.social! @mtsuofficial.bsky.social

No one really tells you before you become a parent how often you'll cry at things that you wouldn't expect. And I don't mean hormonal or sleep deprivation times where you cry for no reason. I mean things that you would have never thought would cause so much emotion that you just start bawling.

On the one hand, I really wish John Rose would stop sending me mail because I know him and his policies too well and will never vote for him. On the other hand, I'm totally fine with him wasting his money one mailer at a time.

If you follow the WNBA, now is the time to vote for who you think should be All Stars! I usually vary mine so several players get votes, but here's who I'm starting with.

First of all, I'm not even an Auburn fan and I think this is one of the greatest plays in college football history. Every time I watch it, I get goosebumps. Second, this was 13 years ago?!?!? That's not ok. 💀

I was feeding a very fussy baby so I couldn't post then, but how in the world was that moving screen call against Angel Reese overturned?! I'm an Atlanta fan, but her feet were still moving. If she's still moving & setting a screen, then by definition that's a moving screen. Am I missing something?

If a college player is allowed to keep playing after he's publicity admitted to gambling on his own teams, then what are we even doing? He easily deserves a lifetime ban from college sports. The NFL can decide on their own, but I don't think they'll touch him either. How is this even a debate?

In a shocking turn of events, the @wnba.com app is broken again. 🤦 This time it's telling me (& a ton others on Threads) that the Liberty vs Sun game is both on League Pass but also that the live stream is not available on League Pass. Just a great high-quality product from a league worth billions.

If anyone has any doubts about why we need campaign finance reform, this is it. Money should not equal speech.

Trump has gone to great lengths to surround himself and elevate only people who will refuse to challenge him on this obvious nonsense. Part of his anger here is probably that he hears this so infrequently.

These rich people will kill everything you love. The Bears have been the Bears since the league existed. That shouldn't be for sale because a billionaire can't shake down Chicago for what is essentially loose change to them.

So I got an app update yesterday, and I think, maybe, hopefully that @wnba.com actually fixed the bug on Android that would sign me out after <30 minutes. It's been over 24 hours, and I'm still signed in... Did they actually fix it????

@reckless.bsky.social Looks like Meta is doing the thing.

@richarddeitsch.bsky.social Love your podcast & posts on here. Small favor to ask if you can. I know you post a lot of screenshots of text on here. Any chance you could add the actual text to the Alt Text of the image? That would be easier for people using screen readers & people reading on mobile.

I'll always be a Seattle Storm fan, but I'd be hard pressed to name a more fun team to watch than the Atlanta Dream. If you're looking for a WNBA team to follow and cheer for, I'd strongly recommend getting on the Dream bandwagon!

I don't think I've ever respected Scott Pelley more.

@sabreenajm.bsky.social @anniecostabile.bsky.social Question for you two- I'm a big Alysha Clark fan (hometown hero type thing), & I'm worried that she's barely playing in Dallas. So far she's averaging her lowest minutes/game in her career. Am I overreacting to just 6 games or could she be waived?

i am counting 14 seconds between the first sign that the sprinklers are going off and the stadium DJ hitting play on "Umbrella." elite performance, that's why that DJ made it all the way to the WCWS

@davidpierce.xyz Just checking, but doesn't daily #Vergecast start today? I'm not seeing a new episode anywhere, so I'm not sure if I have that date wrong or not.

Live look at A LOT of WNBA fans watching the Portland-Indiana game right now-

Yeah, because what's more needed right now then to give big tech even more data on us? Required facial scans in order to use app stores at all is just ridiculous. 🤦

@richardcohen.bsky.social Question for you- Why was there a difference in calls between the Flagrant Foul that Arike got vs the Tech that Jessica Shepard got called on? They may have talked about it on the broadcast, but between the Dirk interview & giving a bottle to my daughter, I missed it.

Just realized that tonight's @lvaces.bsky.social vs @dallaswings.bsky.social game is the first @mtsuofficial.bsky.social Alumni Game of the year. - Alysha Clark for Dallas - MTSU Class of 2010 - Cheyenne Parker-Tyus for Las Vegas - MTSU Class of 2015 Let's go Blue Raiders!

This thread is the most depressing thing to read if you care about how Tennessee is perceived across the country. Just embarrassing. 🤦
