We really need to have an honest conversation about how broadcasters showcasing the family lives of Olympians at Milan Cortina have avoided talking about the queer relationships some are in like the plague.
Praying Brittany Bowe has been to at least one NHL game in her life, and there’s photo evidence.
Otherwise, I’m not sure if we can count on the broadcast to mention her engagement to Hilary Knight during the broadcast of the gold medal hockey game.

The running out of time line is "interesting" since the W and owners took 6 weeks to respond to the players previous offer.
In a statement provided to ESPN, a WNBA spox calls the WNBPA's proposal "unrealistic & would cause hundreds of millions of dollars of losses for our teams. We... are running out of time. We believe the WNBA’s proposal would result in a huge win for current players & generations to come.”

I hear "high speed rail" and I get activated like a sleeper cell
“Is there a technology the left is excited about?”
High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

i accidentally attempted a shot on goal during a lacrosse game that ended up being a shot directly into a defender’s face. i was ejected lmao.
my coach gave me the game ball afterwards, though, cause that was the first time she said i had ever shown emotion on the field :D

This is beyond relatable
I rolled a bowling bowl across a parking lot and into the woods. I drove home in my bowling shoes. I haven't picked a ball up since. Almost 24 years.

great thread:
A lot of exhaustive anti-tanking copy from my colleagues from over the weekend. It was the right time for it, with the commish at the lectern & execs around to opine. A lot of very smart people weighed in, with some good ideas.
Ultimately, I don't think it matters as much as we think it does.
