With 25/32 first round games in the book, here's the number of teams advancing by conference: 8 - Big 12 7 - ACC 5 - Big Ten 4 - SEC 1 - Big East

A bounty? Very slave catcher of them. This league is gonna have to take a stand at some point. There's no "both sides" to this. At some point, racism and transphobia have to be a deal breaker.

One of the things that bothers me about transphobia as a word - see also islamophobia etc. - is that, no, no it's not a *phobia* it's not arachnophobia or pyrophobia or things that actually relate to someone being scared, it's hatred and bigotry that is often finessed into a grift.

I’m heated + I’ve got time tonight so let me say this: the pathway to becoming a professional athlete has never been “fair.” Being trans is not a competitive advantage! Wealth and access is THE BIGGEST competitive advantage. Anyone saying it’s about fairness is full of shit! LEAVE TRANS PPL ALONE!

This is, without a joke, actual honest to God heresy if you are a Christian. I'm not saying more than the usual consumer protection, this is designed to harm people, stuff that I usually say about AI, but its just funny that AI's next big thing is: "Actual Heresy Machine."

Sunrise Movement KC, a climate activist group, has been placing DIY benches at bus stops around the metro. Jacob Antolini, an organizer with Sunrise, said the group has installed more than 20 benches since it started the effort last fall.

Today is the first day of Transgender Awareness Week. Today and every day we stand with our trans community. You are seen. You are heard. You matter.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Kansas Museum of History in Topeka, which has been closed for three years, will reopen Nov. 22 with free admission, food trucks, music and special guests. (@kansasreflector.com)

note that the US Catholic bishops just elected an absolute firebreather of a conservative to be their new head, so it's important to understand that immigration is very specifically NOT an area where the MAGA adult convert caucus (Vance, Kirk, etc.) and old-school Catholic conservatives align AT ALL

excited to hear jd vance show how sincere his Catholicism is by insulting and correcting the Church tomorrow

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Repost for those joining in as we prep for the NWSL in Atlanta. Get familiar, and also adding @sheabutterfc.com @diasporautdpod.bsky.social Feel free to add more. Working on making a feed. 🙂

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load. So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

Go Washington Spirit. Defeat the Portlands this weekend.

I get that there is a visceral appeal to giving food items to drives, but if you want to be effective, just give money! Food banks have bulk purchasing power that goes way further, and that's before the insane waste of logistics hauling that food all over the place.

2021 and 2023 were bad. Mace got to experience the highs and lows. With her and Hammy gone, Lo and Eball are the remaining OGs. Check on your KC Current friends bc we are struggling over here. 🥺

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

NAOMI GIRMA IS BACK FROM WAR!

11.39 Goals Added using the Above Replacement g+ variation, well above Banda’a 7.78 & Manaka’s 6.92. Awesome, but not enough for a 21 point gap. It was the defense. +23.08 team goal difference in the defensive half. Second was +6.58 goal difference (Gotham FC).

I don't think we'd be having some of the convos on NWSL coach of the year if the timing of how the EOY Awards voting wasn't garbage. Votes should've been done before the first playoff game kicked off. We wouldn't be having some of these conversations a week ago.

Hi, Jean. My friend is a Nigerian prince who needs to urgently retrieve $1,000,000 from an abandoned trust from his father. If you can wire $5,000 today, you will be entitled to 35% of the trust. Please reply at your earliest convenience.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Fresh logo, fresh ice 🥶 The Vancouver Goldeneyes have unveiled their new logo at center ice - catch it all season at PNE!

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Unless Democratic Senators who voted no on the #Schumersurrender today explicitly call for Schumer to resign or step aside - they all own this cave. Just pushing out performative posts and press releases don’t count for much anymore. Enough.

The 3-Part premiere of [REDACTED] is out now on all podcasting platforms. Cast listed in comments (for the 3 parts respectively). Visit the link below. www.theredactedunit.com/episodes Huge thanks to everybody involved! @rustyquill.com @jamiepetronis.bsky.social @athansmusic.com

HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO FUCK UP THIS BADLY

I’m sad as fuck but I’ll remember the joy the team brought me this year. The shield matters and they’re still one of the best teams ever. On to the next season. P.S. Go spirit! 💕 #KCBABY

We are now the Washington Spirit podcast. For the remainder of the post-season.

NWSL knew the temps when they scheduled this a week ago. Like they did it on purpose

"Last match for the Destroyer, Desiree Scott" 😭🥺

desi has done nothing wrong ever

What’s frustrating is that CBS could have these Saturday games in primetime…their schedule has an NCIS:Origins rerun and 48 Hours. #NWSL

Berman wants people to chill because she’s worried about messing up NWSL’s money whilst her lack of action is the reason people are speaking up. Her ability to avoid and ignore accountability is destructive and terrifying

Here it is.

We are ONE DAY from the series premiere of REDACTED. My mom is pumped.

hey chatgpt is Sunday further than Friday

@ the city of Kansas City: I saw how full the Chiefs game was during that below zero game a few years back so there's no excuse not to go to CPKC on Sunday. 33-40ish degrees will feel balmy compared to that one game

When girl dad meets girlboss you get girl girlboss dad which also makes no sense.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

rosen is one of the moderates who sincerely wants a bipartisan deal, her being this angry is a good indicator of where they’re all at

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

Republicans who do the right thing for their state get punished. #ksleg

The Black Women’s Player Collective has dropped a statement as well this morning on their Instagram in light of the recent comments made this week.

Lo LaBonta is the beating heart of the Current. She should be here until she doesn’t want to play anymore and the day that happens she should be offered a front office role on the spot.

Guess they should go get gay married about it
