A’ja Wilson is just too good. Next year maybe she should be her own team.

If Mercury pull off the comeback then it won’t matter. But if Aces go on to win it’s just an ugly thing.

The W has got to get better refs next season.

Diane Curtis @dianecurtis.bsky.social · 7h

Aces were on the way to winning this clean and then the refs got involved. It’s a damn shame.

Look, I'm just sayin, someday we'll get those Soros checks, and we'll have to decide what to do with all our dirty protest pay. Plan ahead.

This is what I'm saying! I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I'm still mad it's pronounced an-TEE-fuh instead of AN-ti-fah. As in anti-fa(scist)

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

I would really like AT to get her championship but the Aces are just plain playing better and that makes me sad

It's so repugnant to think of this fire as having been intentionally set that I'm open to a PG&E-involved conspiracy theory as an alternative.

Phil Lewis @phillewis.bsky.social · 2d

The suspect accused of igniting the fire that destroyed LA's Pacific Palisades neighborhood allegedly used a ChatGPT prompt to show "a burning forest and a crowd fleeing from it," months prior, officials say

Man arrested, faces federal charge in connection with Palisades Fire: DOJ

The fire caused widespread destruction in Los Angeles County and killed a dozen people earlier this year.

There's a record album cover image in an attic somewhere with old Joan. Most Likely to Strike a Deal with the Devil.

As late as I may be to this particular party, people who know me will not be surprised to learn that I'm digging Nation of Language generally, and this neosynthpop (yes that's what I'm calling it) cover of Androgynous in particular. @billchilds.bsky.social

The uncensored version of this book revealed Jeffrey Epstein's long relationship with Melania, his introduction of Melania to Trump, and Trump (and then Epstein) having intercourse with Melania in the back of a limo. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3d

The original version of the book said that Epstein was involved in introducing Melania to her beloved husband.

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

Bondi to Blumenthal: "You lied. How dare you? I'm a career prosecutor. Don't you ever challenge my integrity. Do not question my ability to be fair and impartial."

I'm fine if you treat me like a second class citizen, as long as we can all agree not to support the Poors, cuz they're like third class or something.

I kind of can’t believe this Bari Weiss quote is even real, and yet www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”
