i don't feel like magic set surveys usually have this question and i don't appreciate the implication that content creators, who do so so much for the game, are possibly to blame for a bad set's poor performance. 👎

I'm looking to speak with someone in Manitoba who can describe a specific personal or professional occasion in which they were impacted by misinformation, or lack of media literacy.

“Their *advancement* to our NBA staff” is a large part of the problem the #WNBA will continue to face if this is the system that continues.

Peep the lanugage from Monty McCutchen about WNBA ref Jenna Reneau's move to the NBA:

"Congratulations to Biniam, Pat and Jenna on their advancement to our NBA staff.... All three officials have worked diligently to reach the pinnacle of their profession."

Israel isn't complying with the ceasefire agreement (letting in aid, releasing Palestinian hostages, simply not killing people) because the state doesn't want a ceasefire: it wants full liquidation.

Don't allow a complicit media to paint Palestinians at fault for their own genocide.

Mark Carney shows contempt for all Canadians by excluding the press from foreign trips. He needs to apologize and make amends for this, and be shown he’s a democratic head of government not the chief executive of Canada Inc.

Statement from the president of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s trip to Egypt:

“It is unprecedented that Canadian media be entirely excluded from a Canadian prime minister’s foreign trip.”

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

BREAKING: Three Palestinians were killed after Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on residents inspecting their homes in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

Incredible.

Some things I've learned in my first few weeks:

1) There is a grey market candy swapping racket between janitors, TSA agents, CSRs, and everyone else who has to stand someplace all day at the airport.

Hi-chews, sour candies, and gummy anything are in highest demand.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

“"It has recently come to my attention that Mr. Yves Engler has been sharing with the media that he has not yet been approved ... to stand as an official leadership candidate.

Here's something to call BS on. The WNBA *DOES NOT* want the same things the players want.

The players want EQUITABLE REVENUE SHARE.

A simple raise that doesn't address the earning structure of the WNBA is a non-starter.
