When I first started writing a little bit at HHS in 2018, Jenn immediately became a writer I looked up to and the person I trusted most to edit anything I wrote. Eight years later, that’s only become more true. 🐐

Reasonable minds can debate the ethics, use cases, etc of AI. But using AI to completely replace the writing process is anathema to writing. Writing is powerful b/c it takes human thoughts to produce it. Writing is definitionally human. AI can produce text. It cannot write because it can't think.

Can confirm the below numbers/distribution. Draw still only used for the top-two in the WNBA, so Houston (formerly Connecticut) will get #3 at worst. #WNBA

MLB Payroll Ranks in the Division Series: Rays (27) vs. Yankees (3) Braves (9) or Phillies (4) vs. Dodgers (1) Brewers (19) vs. Padres (8) ChiSox (26) vs. Guardians (29) But let's impose a salary cap so there can be parity!

it truly is just perfect that a republican — you know, the party that so badly wants to protect women athletes — used a senate hearing to confidently, and falsely, accuse a lawyer of perjury because he and his entire staff forgot that women’s sports exists

Just say division winner or throw an asterisk in there then. I do think 1981 Royals count though if we’re bringing playoff team count into the qualifications

Washington
A flow chart for the Washington Mystics. Complete scenarios impractical to spell out, but they can finish seeded anywhere from 5-8, with the simplest path to the 5 seed being finishing the season 2-0 while Minnesota wins at least one of its two games over Indiana

Jacob Mox @jacobmox.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
New York
A flow chart for the New York Liberty. Complete scenarios impractical to spell out, but they can finish seeded anywhere from 4-8, and can clinch the 4 seed and homecourt advantage in the first round by going 2-0 in their final 2 games (both against Atlanta) and Indiana losing at least one of its final two games.

Minnesota
A flowchart for the Minnesota Lynx’s playoff seed possibilities. Any one win or Golden State loss clinches Minnesota the 1 seed. If Minnesota goes 0-2 and Golden State goes 2-0, they would fall to the 2 seed

Jacob Mox @jacobmox.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Las Vegas
A playoff seed flowchart for Las Vegas, who can finish anywhere from 2-5. 1-1 in their final 2 games guarantees at least the 3 seed, and they can clinch the 2 seed by going 2-0 while Golden State goes 0-2.

Jacob Mox @jacobmox.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Indiana
A flowchart of playoff seeding possibilities for Indiana, who can finish anywhere from 3-8. To secure homecourt advantage (top 4 seeds) they need to go 2-0 in their remaining games (both against Minnesota) and have either Las Vegas or New York finish 0-2 in their respective final 2 games
120
Jacob Mox @jacobmox.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Golden State
A flowchart for Golden State: If they go 1-1 in their remaining games (LA and Portland) they will be the 2 seed. If they go 2-0 in those games and Minnesota wins 1 of their final 2, they will also be the 2 seed, but if Minnesota goes 0-2 then Golden State will get the 1 seed. If Golden State goes 0-2, they would be the 3 seed if Vegas finishes 0-2, and the 2 seed if Vegas wins 0 or 1 game.

Despite the rabid fixation upon the concept of trans women in sports, those who beat the drum the loudest for exclusive policies rarely seem to care about trans people themselves.
