Well the baseball game is over but the night is young for the 38 year olds of Bluesky, and that means it’s time to take a low dose aspirin and read about Bigfoot on your iPad for 20 minutes before falling asleep

ESPN literally had to blur the screen when Cathy was giving the championship trophy because a ton of fans were flipping Cathy off in addition to the boos.

Cathy can’t be heard above the boos in the arena, both when she gives Aces the trophy and A’ja her MVP award

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

Protestor in a frog suit and an anti-Ice sign with what I believe to be a Pokémon character on a street corner in Rogers Park.

Since Broadview is so close to where I grew up and much of my family is near there, I want to be a resource for anyone heading there to protest. To begin with, here are some places where you can go and grab some food not far from the Broadview ICE facility. These are all BIPOC owned and delish.

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

literally calling them losers to their hidden cry baby faces has been wildly effective on the ground in Chicago

Someone really voted Alyssa Thomas second team lol

Myles @mylesehrlich.bsky.social · 16h

Per release, the WNBA has named its All-WNBA Teams, led by unanimous votes for A’ja Wilson and Napheesa Collier and joined by Alyssa Thomas, Allisha Gray, and Kelsey Mitchell. Sabrina Ionescu is the Liberty’s lone rep, making her fourth straight second team appearance. @winsidr.com
