Arike and Gabby trading haymakers over three games. We all deserved a seven game series between these teams.

Had to explain to my mom today why I didn’t want to watch Deshaun Watson. Having to have that conversation because a person like that is somehow still playing in the NFL is exhausting and I really, really wish it wasn’t necessary.

Gendered violence is a systemic cultural and societal problem. And when one of these cases boils to the top, you can see that in how many survivors come forward to explain how similar their experiences are, in ways both big and small.

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.

PSRA Officials @psraofficials.com · 20/09/2026
Our statement regarding MLS NEXT Pro and their handling of a recent disciplinary issue:
During a recent MLS NEXT Pro match, a male head coach committed two deliberate acts of physical abuse and sexism against a female official -- squeezing her hand and refusing to let go after being told to stop three times. This physical intimidation was compounded by a demeaning, sexist remark to the official: "Don't forget, this is a man's game."

MLS NEXT Pro investigated and responded with a two-game suspension and other non-suspension discipline.

U.S. Soccer policy states a “forceful grab” like this requires a minimum three-game suspension. Acts of discrimination also require a minimum three-game suspension. MLS NEXT Pro’s own manual also states that coaches are held to “a higher professional standard than players.”

The League’s response falls drastically short of the right message to the participants, the referees, and the public. It needs to be reevaluated.

Women make every level of this game better. They should not have to endure intimidation or degrading comments to prove it. Our female officials have proven their excellence on the world stage. They deserve the same respect, dignity, and safe working environment as every other official.

i mean, this dude bought up a bunch of local newspapers, laid off hundreds, shut some papers down complete, and did huge damage to the industry as a whole, then he sold the company for a huge sum. so he's definitely right about one thing - he's richer and the world is worse off.

There are things you could do if you were concerned about LLMs and safety, and it's telling that none of them have been suggested by Altman and Amodei. Because they don't care about safety and they don't want to slowdown. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-alread...
There are, of course, real, meaningful things you could do if you actually were worried about LLMs — halting all model training, all cybersecurity evaluations, and starting a criminal inquiry into the Hugging Face attack that ends in somebody going to jail for the crime they used the models to commit. If it turns out multiple people are legally liable, tough fucking shit, you are going to jail for a crime, you are not special because you used agents to do it.

To be clear, I am extremely hesitant to believe anybody is “slowing down.” Anthropic’s own statements mostly amount to “we should all agree to not do something we’re not doing yet,” much like those made by Musk and Altman.

Yet the sickly irony of all of this safety theater — and that’s all it is without any actual tangible attempts to deal with the harms of the technology that actually exists — is that a boneheaded media incapable of catching out grifters has accidentally destabilized an already-tenuous narrative.

Put another way, I think everybody has their own agenda, nobody has a plan, and that everything is accelerating like the end of a Coen Brothers movie as every little narrative thread gets tangled together in a potentially jumbled and chaotic conclusion.

Coxon could've mentioned the environmental catastrophe of AI data centers, or how ChatGPT has led people to killing themselves and others. Instead, he retold a dramatized and manipulative version of the Hugging Face attack that left the AI labs blameless. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-alread...
At no point did Coxon bring up how ChatGPT was used as a “suicide coach,” directly caused a murder-suicide, or aided and abetted in mass shootings in Florida and Canada, or the horrifying gas turbines poisoning black communities. His own discussion of the Hugging Face attack — much like all of his criticisms — focuses on the anthropomorphization of large language models as this unknowable, unstoppable force, with no real responsibility for anyone involved.
