The Connecticut Sun's final game is tonight. Connecticut and its fans bought into the WNBA at its low point, turning a profit when the NBA's owners saw the league as a moneypit, only to lose their team now that everyone sees big bucks in women's sports. Some thoughts on the setting of the Sun:

Surprisingly, moving the team to Connecticut worked. In 2010, the Sun became the first WNBA team to turn a profit — during a global recession, and during the league’s nadir of popularity. The casino in the middle of nowhere became a fortress. The Sun has won 64.5 percent of its home games. It developed a real fanbase and made four WNBA Finals.

The Connecticut Sun is not the first WNBA team to die. (Enjoy this haunting image of the mascots for the Sacramento Monarchs, Utah Starzz, Detroit Shock, and yes, the Houston Comets, hanging out, smiling, not realizing that death will soon come for them.)

But it’s the first WNBA team to die for this reason: Not because nobody cared, not because it couldn’t make money, not because it couldn’t find fans or win games, not because the league is shrinking … but actually because the league is growing. The Sun helped the WNBA survive, but the period of mere survival is over. The league is moving on to bigger markets and bigger money and leaving Connecticut behind.

Is Baxter Holmes on BlueSky? He and Ramona Shelburne should never see work in the sports industry again. They can go parrot MAGA bullshit where the audience doesn't care about integrity because both of them have thrown theirs all of the way away. #Clippers #ESPN

Every single one of these “Democrats” claiming el-Sayed can’t win in the general, if they could vote in Michigan, would vote against him to try to protect Israel and America’s genocide. Suddenly they forgot their “vote Blue no matter who” slogan because their racism trumps all else.

What do you want Democrats to do? There's nothing they can do. However, it's very important you continue to vote for them and give them money, as they continue to do nothing.

Trump went from “I’m gonna blow up those bastards” to “that 10 point plan they proposed a few days ago that I rejected is now a really good foundation for a new deal”. That’s what defeat looks like. When you get past all the spin that will come what the US did was capitulate fully to Iranian demands

Pro tip: Any elected Democrat who was pro-genocide under Biden is also pro-ICE. They are going to be the loudest “reform ICE” voices and they are going to be the first to cave to Trump because they agree with Trump’s domestic ethnic cleansing campaign.

Charlie Kirk wasn't from New York. He didn't live in New York. The shooting didn't happen in New York. In July he Tweeted "Was just in NYC all weekend with our family. Never felt safe. So many people in the city who don’t belong." Why did the New York Yankees have a moment of silence for him?

There’s a brand of political thinker (call them “normie optimists”) that reflexively treats this all as ephemeral. “Just wait for the midterms. Focus on the right messaging and win those swing districts.” I just want to stare at them and say “Emil Bove has been confirmed to a lifetime judgeship.”

Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.

Because the goal was never crime reduction. They know the stats on immigrant crime. It’s about fostering tribal loyalty through othering. This is a power fantasy and the fastest way to demonstrate action is by targeting people vulnerable because they predictably work & follow the law.
