A’ja Wilson. The Face of The WNBA. 36 pts 10 rebounds. 2 blk. MVP award loading… Mitchell had a moment in the 4th but didn’t shoot well tonight. And please stop calling CC generational. She was 6/18 fg & 3/12 on 3s and 35% career from deep. I’m honored to witness The Aja Wilson era.Dominance

Chicago putting a Mariachi band out there to do the National Anthem is a boss move. I almost don't even care what happens in the game, that was dope.

Trans athletes are a tiny % of all athletes. Fewer than 10 out of >500k US college athletes identify as trans. I don’t hear anything abt them haze raping. Yet, 1 in 5 women will be raped during their time in college. How about bitching against frat houses who drug & gang rape women & get away w/it?

Hubby drops off our 4yo at PK and I enjoy hearing about the random things he says on the way to and from school. Yesterday he randomly goes: “Dad, do you have spit in your mouth?” Like what is he thinking about back there to have come up with that question 🤣😅

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

The Beatles banned segregated audiences, contract shows
