The tech press told everyone this guy was a genius for a decade plus because they didn't know what the fuck they were looking at. Although now I'm wondering if pubs specifically picked their least talented reporters to cover tech in the early days because they didn't know where else to put them

Ole Miss might would have beat Texas yesterday if Ole Miss wasn’t playing their third game in three days.

Everyone answering this with "get a DVD" is entirely missing the point (though yes, let's all get Norma Rae DVDs, sure, BUT). Also, this website is where ppl advocate to get "Missing Movies" on (legal) streaming: www.missingmovies.org

NCAA President Charlie Baker expresses optimism amid changing landscape NCAA President Charlie Baker spoke with reporters on Tuesday about ongoing college sports issues like transfers, NIL the College Sports Commission, NCAA revenue growth and more.

Charlie Baker -- president of the NCAA -- announced in January that revenue has grown $300 million since 2022.

But we need to "save" college sports?

From what? Drowning in money?

The "save" crowd is just the "don't want to share" crowd.

Democracy | Women Are Supposed to Be Better Than This Donna Ladd criticizes Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi and Ghislaine Maxwell as examples of women who have held other women back through action and inaction.

DEMOCRACY: "These three women sicken me. Other women have disgusted me, too, in the ways they sell out women and people of any color but theirs and prop up bad men and systems meant to hold women back," Donna Ladd writes.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Apparently Graham Platner has just been lying through his teeth the whole time. And a lot of people bought it because they wanted to believe what he said and not what was right in front of their eyes.

On social media, Eileen Gu’s a traitor. In Chinatown, she’ll be welcomed as a daughter The Chinese New Year Parade’s grand marshal has faced hate since her success at the Olympics. But for the San Francisco community that raised her, she’s an affirmation.

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICE’s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

Conditions at ICE's largest detention facility — revealed in data from more than a hundred 911 calls, interviews and court filings — offer a disturbing portrait of overcrowding, medical neglect, malnutrition and emotional distress.

Could West Palm Police have stopped Ghislaine Maxwell in 2001? After learning Maxwell was recruiting 'young, beautiful, women' from PBAU to work at Epstein's home, West Palm police referred the matter elsewhere.

#Florida cops had a report about Ghislaine Maxwell recruiting girls in 2001, but passed on doing anything about it. www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/c...

Yeah, some of them don’t see the intrinsic value of women’s pro bball.

There is a lot of coverage of alleged discord amongst players, but I bet there is discord among team owners also. Some of the owners have longstanding history of WBB support.

The top two cities where players want to play are Miami and Nashville. For some reason the link didn’t display a thumbnail, but if you click it will go to Ben Pickman’s article on the survey

You’re so right about Florida’s Republican government. To answer the “why”: The two player-led leagues are based in cities where players want to play. #AthletesUnlimited in Nashville and #Unrivaled in Miami bsky.app/profile/benp...
