Taylor Swift should endure heartbreak after heartbreak so that it inspires her to make better music that I can enjoy. Why does she have to be so selfish

The conservatism that's resurgent in the U.S. wants women to get married and have babies—so Taylor Swift's latest lyrics about getting married and having babies genuinely bummed me out.

lol, here's some incredible college football content. In the hype video Oregon posted after Penn State, Dan Lanning lectures his team on broken windows theory, but it's pro-breaking windows.

"Each time we get a stop on defense, that's a broken window." www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwSH...

a screencap of Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning standing in front of a projector screen displaying a slideshow. The current slide has a headline "BROKEN WINDOWS THEORY."

They’re called the New Jersey Devils but I’m pretty sure they wore those jerseys last year

Just on principle, I don't think I can name somebody the GOAT when they're not even 30 and have less than a decade of service time. But I wouldn't vehemently argue with somebody who wanted to label A'ja the greatest ever already.

Spooky Joseph Boo-cker @josephzucker.bsky.social · 13h

Better than Caitlin Clark? I don't think so.

Swish Appeal @swishappeal.bsky.social · 16h

So, is A'ja now officially the #WNBA GOAT?

@zacklward.bsky.social examined A'ja's GOAT case: buff.ly/reNsYBK

And THEN she added to it, with 34 points, 14 rebounds and the game-winning shot to give the Aces a 3-0 lead in the #WNBA Finals.

Why A’ja Wilson already can be crowned the WNBA’s GOAT

You might be able to consider Las Vegas Aces M’VP A’ja Wilson the WNBA GOAT right now.

I don't bet on sports (outside of maybe an NCAA tourney pool) for largely the same reasons I never smoked a cigarette. I know how personally ruinous it can be and how easily a casual, small thing can morph into a crippling habit.

Parlays are becoming more popular, accounting for an increasing share of the money wagered on sports, according to a Post analysis of betting data. Bettors lose billions a year on these bets.

Acquiring talent and/or managing personalities is also an important part of the job, depending on the coach’s general role. Plenty of great tacticians didn’t succeed as head coaches because they were terrible at the management part.

He really believed that pitching that whole “33rd team” vision was something new and different when major college programs were operating like NFL teams already
