After opening in Vancouver, PWHL Seattle’s got 5 straight at Climate Pledge… I’d say we’ll know a lot about the tenor of this inaugural season by the end of December! Can’t think of a better way to spend Black Friday than that home opener!

"Whoever forbids Antifa, wants fascism! Make Antifa Great Again!" - Bayern Munich fans on Friday, right behind the goal, so guaranteed to be in the broadcast worldwide.

For eight years I have excused my use of Protonmail “because security is worth the compromises” but FINALLY with this release I can say simply “I am using the best AND most secure email. And you should too. Period.”

Proton @proton.me · 17d

We rebuilt the Proton Mail apps from the ground up, shaped by your feedback.

The result:

✅ Faster performance (emails open quicker, simpler navigation)
✅ Offline mode
✅ A modern design that makes managing your inbox easier
✅ Feature parity across iOS and Android

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪

Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.

I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

If you need a little hope this morning - the current tween trend involves decorating clothespins with affirming messages, then clipping them on friends' backpacks when they're not looking.

Here are a few that my 11-year-old decorated this weekend ❤️

Clothespins decorated with paint markers and pens, with affirming messages. Like "bee you" with a drawing of a bee. And "you're sweeter than pie" with a checked motif. And "you can do it" and "unleash your creativity."

I am glad that the league has learned from their past mistakes. I am proud of Seattle for cheering when the announcement was made that the game was suspended.

OMG. Moises Ballesteros just (okay, I’m watching on a slight delay) hit a HR that Rizzo got his HAND on. Whhhhattttttt??????

✈️ @jetlin.com · 29d

The best thing about Anthony Rizzo is that he has the same smile as all the kids around him in the stands at Wrigley today. It was the same smile he had on the field as a Cub, too. Truly, a joy to watch.

I know, right!? They were even in the inaugural game!

The practical answer is, I have a bunch of friends in Montreal and visit often…

The overthinking answer is, I attract hopeless causes?

The pro teams I root for scored a grand total of zero goals this week.

At least the kiddo’s team won their tourney last week… scoring 15 and conceding 1. Who, me, live vicariously through my kids??? nooooooooo, not me! 🤣

Orson Welles’ Lost Movie Will Use AI to Reconstruct Missing 43 Minutes

Since the rise of generative artificial intelligence in 2022, the technology has mostly been plugged into parts of the production pipeline as far as its deployment in Hollywood. Think visual effects, dubbing and storyboarding. As it stands, it’s mostly thought of as a tool to streamline certain processes and cut costs.

Anyone paying attention knows this is a power grab, an attempt to intimidate and another distraction from the fraud, theft & corruption going on at the highest levels.

Anyone sending me Chicago crime stats as if to defend the invasion is intentionally or ignorantly choosing the side of fascism.

Sarah Spain ✨ @sarahspain.com · Sep 3

Chicago, like any major city, is not without crime or flaws. But unless the Nat’l Guard has a plan to understand & combat gang violence, create economic & social investment in historically underserved neighborhoods, address poverty, housing costs & the long arm of redlining, they’re not the answer.

Extraordinary news from @theintercept.com: As Seattle PD was looking to sign a $1.8 million contract with Fusus for its Real Time Crime Center, the company offered testimony from an Atlanta PD officer. But it did not disclose that the cop was on the board of Fusus.

Erin McLeod is one of my heroes. She was always on the opposing side (Houston Dash, Halifax Tides, Canada, in particular), but her fierce competitiveness earned my respect. She’s a role model transcending borders.

And yes, I get that sometimes the hit batman is intentional. I’d rather see a disingenuous apology for those among the genuine apologies for unintentionally hit batsmen than the other way around, as it is currently.

✈️ @jetlin.com · Sep 2

One thing that is crap about MLB is the lack of apologies for hit batsmen. Like, I get this is a competitive game at its highest level, but that does not outweigh our humanity. Get rid of that macho bullshit.
