One of the best stories out of this #wnba season is the WNBA art account. She’s an artist based in Chicago but her day job was in healthcare administration. At the beginning of the season she started posting sketches of funny or iconic moments from WNBA games on her instagram account.

Angel Reese does the too small sign to Dominique Malonga who is 2 inches taller than her.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

Elite was released 42 years ago. This space trading open world game is considered to be the forerunner of many modern games, as well as being an important milestone in the history of space sci-fi. Art by Philip Castle🔽

Box art by Philip Castle.

The image is dominated by the game's title, "ELITE," rendered in a bold, golden 3D font with large, stylized wings, resembling a prestigious pilot's insignia. The scene depicts key elements from the game:

The Cobra Mk III: The sleek, saucer-shaped ship in the foreground is the player's starting vessel, the legendary Cobra Mk III.

Coriolis Station: The massive, geometric structure is a Coriolis space station, the rotating hubs of trade and commerce where players would dock.

Tom Cruise stars in The Mummy but he’s not the mummy, he’s just a guy who, probably, jumps over the mummy a bunch of times on an electric scooter and then also across the Grand Canyon, where for some reason, in one scene, the mummy is.

Election day is fun for me because when I finally got my enhanced WA state ID a few years back, I fucked up my own signature so badly on their little digital screen that I now have to practice matching this abomination like 100 times before signing the ballot or it will be contested.

I am so sad to hear about Sam Neill's passing. He was always one of my favorites and he will very much be missed. First time I ever saw him was in Reilly Ace of Spies (1983), which my father introduced to me way back when. www.pbs.org/show/reilly-...

Last year on a whim I watched Gettysburg on the 4th in an attempt to drown out big booms outside with big booms on the TV to manage my dog’s extreme stress over fireworks. It worked pretty well! And I’ll happily watch it again, but if anyone has any big booms movie recs for me, I’d appreciate it.

I think one of the worst parts of the state of the gaming industry right now is how common and almost automatic it is to press the 'submit' button for a job application and just instantly know as a certainty that you will not even get as much as a recruiter screening for it.
