Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Happy coming out day to 21-year-old me, who decided to publicly come out in the op-ed section of my college newspaper at a midsized Catholic college in 2003 -- an act of such profound YOLO that it is stunning to my now much more adult self

I think the Democrats need to start making the likely AI crash an issue right now. It has everything they need, and unlike the "boys in girls' sports" issue, it is actually rooted in reality.

I endorse this with my whole heart and I also think, at least for this one weekend, we can all agree that Love & Death and Interiors (and, sure, Annie Hall) are Diane Keaton movies and you can watch them bc what’s brilliant about those movies, which is a lot, is overwhelmingly bc of her

Everything about the structure seems like the opposite of why Unrivaled is successful and beloved by the players. UL allows them to stay in one place. It allows them to be with their kids. It allows them to focus on their relationships with each other.

Men are such bozos. They read a headline somewhere that women's basketball is making money so they're going to create some hyperinflated spectacle event thinking that somehow it's going to make billions of dollars for them. They're building a new version of the esports bubble.

So Project B-- which is planning on a new 14 week globally traveling women's basketball league-- is created by a US tech executive and funded by the Saudi PIF? This shit deserves to die on the vine.

Project B aims to build global women’s basketball league, eyes men’s expansion

Former Google and Facebook exec Grady Burnett said that the venture he co-founded, Project B, features a women’s league that is still being built, while a men’s league could still be created.
