A photo of used books and a bookcase at Tsunami Books. The signs on the side of the bookcase:

(which I always read as "used zombies")

The only way to watch the #WNBA playoffs is to subscribe to one of the live TV subscriptions that cost around $80/mo (for 2 months, because the playoffs last more than 30 days). Or watch everything the day after on league pass. Who is this arrangement for @wnba.com? Because it's not for the fans.

The first round schedule for the WNBA playoffs. The graphic shows the game number, day of the week, date, time, and network each game is broadcast on

#wnba Unfortunate that some of the most important WNBA games of the season can’t be seen live without sending money to Amazon, which I would only do under extreme duress.

Here's How the WNBA Can Win the Anti-Trans Controversy

The league has a golden opportunity to make a definitive and educational point about trans athletes–if it has the courage to do it

After 50, formerly incarcerated people have higher rates of stroke, cancer, heart disease, and chronic lung disease. Mass incarceration has created a public health crisis.

Graph showing that in one sample of almost entirely mothers (and some fathers) over 50, those who were ever incarcerated reported more health problems, like stroke, heart disease, and cancer.

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.

And you're calling Greenland poorly run?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.

"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.

And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth.”

Just read it.

Spot On -

An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’:

“Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.” Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity. So pathetic and weak.
