Sexual assault is so common that I have to assume any man who complains about it or blames victims is guilty of it. Anyone who uses one false accusation to question us. Anyone who asks why she didn't report or requires a criminal conviction. I just assume you're guilty.

It’s a trial balloon. I’m not seeing DC in the streets as a result.They’ll try it again elsewhere w/ more soldiers. They’ll keep doing it in greater numbers until they are stopped or midterms stolen.We are the frog in boiling water of fascism &so many people in US are just sleepwalking through it.

It’s one thing for blue states to pay the most and receive equal benefits. That’s the union. It’s another thing altogether to pay the most and get less. That’s a violation of the bond.

It was then they realised that it wasn't the task that was the point, it was the way you used your mind to complete it. But by then, it was all too late....

George W. Bush had plenty of opportunities to speak up. January 6th. The January 6th Committee. Trump’s return to power. Mostly silence. But now he’s stepping back into politics to help Republican senators get reelected? Yeah. I have some thoughts.

Cornell University takes rape so seriously that seven #ChiPhi fraternity rapists (Matthew Ingalls, Jonathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris and Scott Kretzschmar) were punished by having to write an essay. And you wonder why women don't feel safe . . .

I love the attention the W is getting and that all kinds of young kids and new fans are seeing/treating women as professional athletes. What I and many other fans don’t love is the claims/idea that the W and Wbb basically didn’t exist before Clark came along. She is part of a storied, long history

TECL @tecl.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Clark is a strong passer&has a ton of assists, yes. She is a wing, a shooting guard. Point guards run&direct offense, passing first, shooting second. Clark does not do that well. She has amazing passes when she isn’t turning it over. But Indy offense does not flow as well when she’s pg vs off guard.

TECL @tecl.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
And the reason CC is able to do most of what she’s doing is the generational talent who did it without any of the resources CC has had. That’s why she’s not GOAT. Those records will be broken, like CC broke Styles’ record. And generational talents win& lead, not score.Clark is good.But shes not best

TECL @tecl.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Hammon or Ticha Penichero or Dawn Staley or Lindsay Whalen or Cynthia Cooper. Jfc. Some of these women were playing point guard at an elite level before CC was even born.

TECL @tecl.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
“Point guards were not a thing in the W before Clark” is exactly the kind of bullshit long time wbb fans detest. #1, Clark is not an actual point guard. Kelsey Mitchell is. But White is playing her as a point guard to give her more looks. #2, I’d like you to do some research on Sue Bird or Becky /1

TECL @tecl.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
So your only line of attack is name calling? No one said Clark isn’t a good player. We just said she isn’t the BEST. HUGE difference. Yes, she’s a HOF player. As are at least 2 of her current teammates. Does that make her the GOAT? No. Do we say Charles Barkley&Pete Maravich are equal to Jordan? No

TECL @tecl.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Did she lead Iowa to a natty? No. She did not. It is a team sport. Styles, whose record CC beat, is not considered a GOAT. Scoring points but playing shit defense&turning ball over almost as often as assists does not make her a generational wbb player. It makes her a great scorer. Not same thing

TECL @tecl.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
savior of the sport. And the fact that she rarely, if ever pushes back when fans/reporters who just showed up to the party say she is the GOAT leaves a bad taste in some players/long time fans’ mouths. The sport is growing &changing in great ways. But Clark is not its founding member of greatness.

than any other female player EVER is ridiculous. So that’s where some of the players and the fans are coming from. Yes this generation of players is phenomenal. But Clark is one of many amazing young talents who are built upon a foundation of women who worked hard& long to play. She isn’t the 5/

not respect the game and its history. Women’s college ball wasn’t UConn. It was Louisiana tech. Then Tennessee. Then UConn. Then closer to parity. Same with the W. You don’t have a league without the Comets. Clark has not won a national championship in college or in the W, so to say she’s better 4/

Clark is standing on. It’s offensive to say she’s the greatest women’s player ever. She is not even the best player on her team! Yes she has amazing and thrilling three point shots, but she’s also a whiner and flopper who can’t play consistent defense. So fans who love wbb resent that new fans do 3/

She is good for the sport but she is not the sport. That’s where the pushback comes from. It’s like saying the NFL didn’t really exist until Aaron Rodgers showed up. Clark definitely increased the league’s popularity, but she didn’t build women’s sports nor is she a once in a lifetime player. The 1/

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.
