I don’t know who needs to hear this but unless you are literally a WNBA franchise owner, you should be on the WNBA players’ side in CBA negotiations just like you’d be on labor’s side if they were sanitation workers or air traffic controllers.

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

Have you ever been lost in a video game level, wandering empty halls, until you know you're going the right way because you finally run into enemies? Because you don't know what to do without conflict? Well some people live their real lives that way

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 6h

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

I read the piece. You shouldn't. He dismisses the "No Kings" protests as liberals in blue cities. He invokes Rosa Parks, as if rural white people in the 60s loved everything that the movement then was doing. "We need a movement but not this one" is a core centrist tact these days.

Young Republicans: H*tler was great, gas them all, rape is epic
MAGA: Boys will be boys!🤷

Americans: Charlie Kirk was not a good person

John Roberts is a white supremacist who has made it his specific life’s work to make it harder for black people to vote, and when they do, to make their votes count less than white people’s. Just because he looks like a genteel northeasterner doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the soul of Bull Connor.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

Taking in refugees isn't just a nice thing we do — we have a legal obligation. The 1951 Refugee Convention came about specifically because countries like the US refused entry to Jews who were trying to escape Germany, because the world didn't ever want that to happen again.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

Water is wet, sky is blue and the SEC is the biggest ratings draw in college football. This is not new, surprising or notable.

Indiana-Oregon’s disappointing ratings explains everything about college football’s TV landscape

Oregon vs. Indiana. It was the clear game of the week. Even ESPN’s College Gameday couldn’t deny it. They took their 12 equipment trucks all the way to Eugene, Oregon, to promote a game that would air on another network for a conference with which it no longer has a business relationship. Two undefeated teams. Read more... The post Indiana-Oregon’s disappointing ratings explains everything about college football’s TV landscape appeared first on Awful Announcing.

PSA for any Newskies looking for a women’s basketball community:

This starter pack is a great jumping off point. I’m not aware of any NCAA-specific women’s hoops pack floating around with college season starting, but most of the folks in here cover/follow the sport year round: go.bsky.app/QFGv9gU

lol I guess? I’ve seen a C****r L**d post about Newskies policing behavior a couple times today. Been a minute, I thought we were at the point where everyone left over there had just made up their minds!

Apparently there’s a Twitter exodus happening today. Welcome, Newskies! Please observe these rules if you want to avoid catching blocks from strangers. Alternatively, please ignore them if you’re a chud so you can be dealt with in the appropriate manner.

Andy BOOlin 👻 (Never Trust a Zebra Version) @andytulin.net · Dec 7

After hanging out here for a month I would say there are 5 rules one must follow to have a good time on Bluesky:

1. Don’t be a bigot
2. Block them when you see them
3. Use alt text
4. Call skeets whatever you want
5. Do not, under any circumstances, complain about what other people call them
