my Used To Watching Men's Sports brain has been screaming "why isn't the fact that the back-to-back #1 WNBA Draft picks are teammates and A COUPLE?!? the biggest story in sports right now" but I can tell people who have spent more time around women's sports aren't making as big a deal about it

BBC picked up the story, great to see it getting more visibility - I just hope it leads to action: www.bbc.com/news/article...

US has let in 4,499 refugees since October - all but three were South African
Trump has given priority to Afrikaners, a white minority group he says is being persecuted. South Africa has objected to his characterisation.

Everyone *does* need to watch this, but most importantly, Democratic leaders still obsessing over centrism, bipartisanship and reaching "middle America" need to watch it

Sociologist C. Wright Mills saw this coming—and tried to warn us—60+ years ago. jacobin.com/2026/02/wrig...
Mills recognized that as the power elite becomes increasingly degenerate, it is increasingly difficult for their intellectual acolytes to formulate reasonable ideological justifications for their corrupt and irresponsible actions. In these circumstances, the power elite resorts to intellectual repression against those who call attention to their declining political capacities; that is, the intelligentsia who work in universities, museums, the arts, scientific institutes, entertainment, and the mass media.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

This is tear gassing protesters just for protesting. There is no threat, and the only danger presented is ICE behaving recklessly. There is no provocation; this is just straight up assault.

Maybe this is maudlin but I feel like we need some type of Oscars montage for the posters we lost this year. Guys like Dan McQuade, Mike Fossey and Kaleb Horton contributed so much to online culture, but everything about it is so impermanent. People need to know who they were.

The tweet of this lousy era we can't get out of x.com/dhm/status/8...
Image, because who knows if you can even link to that shit-ass site anymore, of a tweet by the late, great Dan McQuade from February 2017. Photo of the Oval Office featuring Trump surrounded by 12 members of the extended family of Vince McMahon, with one of the grandkids holding a photo from a Wrestlemania of Trump shaving Vince McMahon's head. Dan's tweet: "'Stone Cold' Steve Austin has stunned 46 percent of the people in this photo, including the president."

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

who calls the shots where you get your news? defector.com/products
Who calls the shots where you get your news?

Is it the dull, eyebrowless son of one of the richest men in the world? Is it shareholders, for whom it's expedient to roll over in the face of nuisance lawsuits by the gangster state? Is it one of the private equity firms grinding media companies to dust to eke out returns?

Is it someone who will fire a journalist for accurately describing Charlie Kirk’s beliefs? Is it a severely confused Brit? Is it the “rogue employee” who reprogrammed their company’s chatbot to urgently inform users about the “white genocide happening in South Africa”?

Not if you read Defector. The 27 of us who work here own the company together. We have no outside investors, so we have no mandate to maximize shareholder value. We don’t take money from gambling companies. We aren’t out to fatten up and get acquired.

Defector is uncompromised, a rarity in modern media. When we report, criticize, and analyze, it’s coming from us, not someone upstairs. We answer only to our subscribers. Become one!

i'll be honest, i'm not picking up what she was putting down here
But one mess at a time. As I tidied up the desk, something on the Kimpton stationery caught my eye. I started to read.
A definitely real (not doctored) screen shot of Ryan Lizza's article about Olivia Nuzzi that reads (not doctored):


“If I swallowed every drop of water from the tower above your house,” Olivia had written, “I would jump up and down so that you could hear my belly slosh. You'd laugh, but I'd do it one time too many and make things uncomfortable. Then I would have to pee.”

re: Glasnow
Passan: I’ve been saving this anecdote for a story, but screw it. Too good to squirrel away. 

Someone suggested Rays pitcher Tyler Glasnow try to get angry before starts. To do this, he would look at pictures of one person. He pulled out his phone and showed me. 

It was Martin Shkreli.

He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies.

“I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida.

“I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor,” DeBlasio told Semafor Wednesday evening. “So I just gave him my opinion.”
