Lauren Holtkamp-Sterling is the only person I want to see wearing a headset in an inset box on my screen during a game.

They've shown that footage of Reese playing ball as a kid 3x now, and there's nothing remarkable in it. It's not even obvious which kid is Reese. Stop it already.

What's funny is, we usually have to translate this one to make it easier for children to understand—"Basically, it means 'don't lie'"—but when it comes to someone like Vance or Trump saying "They're eating the dogsand cats," the violation couldn't be clearer.

I try not to get caught up in the "every WNBA story has to be about CC" turmoil, but this framing, are you for real right now??

Headline from The Athletic (with a big photo of Caitlin Clark pushing past the Aces' Chelsea Gray): "Caitlin Clark and Fever Now Face New Expectations After Playoff Elimination"
The Aces are the team that will actually face more games this season, just to be clear.

Last night's Wings-Valkyries game was some of the most exciting basketball I've ever seen. This morning I've checked The Athletic twice. Top story is something about Caitlin Clark. Scroll down, another Caitlin Clark headline, something about A'ja Wilson getting a tech, and a lot of NBA ephemera.

If character actor Thomas Mitchell could turn in 5 indelible performances in some of cinema's most memorable films in a single year, you can [accomplish some modest goal]. That's a new motto I'm workshopping, having just watched "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and said "Holy crap, he's in THIS TOO?"

From Wikipedia, a list of Thomas MItchell's 1939 film appearances: Doc Josiah Boone in Stagecoach (he won an Oscar for that one), Kid Dabb in Only Angels Have Wings (haven't seen it), Diz Moore in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (funny, contemporary); Gerald O'Hara in Gone With the Wind (you'd swear he was 20 years older); Clopin in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (grimy, pugnacious, excellent).

Peanuts is still on this Title IX kick, and it's getting weirder, in case you were wondering

So our CYO basketball league says they're making teams of 10 to 12 players. Then they say there are only 6 2nd grade boys signed up, so if they don't get more they can't have a team this year. THEN they say there are only 5 2nd grade girls signed up, so they might not have a team either. 🤔🤔🤔

I don't want to talk about baseball but I do want to talk about the Diamondbacks' caps. That hat is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. It doesn't match the uniform. It doesn't match ITSELF. What are we doing here

The Diamondbacks' pitcher heading back to the dugout. His cap is perched on his head. It is black, but not the same shade of black as his jersey, and it has a too-large D in a curly script font like you'd see on a menu at a ladies' spa or a casino or something. It's a shiny rose-gold color. It clashes with the colors on the jersey, and also with the patch on the side of the hat, which you can't see in this picture I took of my TV, sorry.

Yes. It's a lot harder for people to blow off "No Kings" rallies as hysteria when the president is saying "put my name on the Kennedy Center or I'll tear it down" and "the White House needs to look more like Versailles." Those buildings also represent the limitations on the power of the president!

The “branding dispute” being that it’s legally established as a memorial to John F. Kennedy, the president from the 1960s who was murdered in office by an assassin, and Trump wanted to slap his name on it too while he held power for reasons of pure narcissism.
