Dang Cheryl. First their draft picks and then this? 😅 #wnba

A move I could see Atlanta making is trading Nye for a more decisive player like Niya and then rotating with Sherrod so she was on a DP contract. Sherrod has great PG instincts and complements JC’s style without her finishing touch. Plus Karl doesn’t need his PGs to score a lot. #wnba

A few years ago when he wanted to extract concessions from Europe tbe president of Belarus directed tens of people (migrants) towards the Polish border as an overt ploy to destabilise Europe. edition.cnn.com/2025/12/12/e...

Also, this wouldn’t be the first time in recent history that human beings were instrumentalised in this way to justify the hardening of Europe’s borders. Everyone knows that there is nothing that migration is a spectre that haunts European policy making.

I suspect we’re going to see more movement in Connecticut. Lacan, ONO, Niya and Edwards could all be very helpful to some of the middling teams. #wnba

Called it. Anyone need this week’s lottery numbers? 😏

The current Ebola outbreak in the DRC is already the worst in the country’s history.

I really feel for Connecticut and those young players. It can’t be easy to go from being on championship winning teams to essentially playing for the league’s punching bag. This whole Houston thing stinks. #wnba

This stuff is deeply orchestrated and there’s a long game here in which the WNBA is just a stepping stone. Please read Jane Mayer’s excellent book “Dark Money”. There is a longer goal of dismantling the administrative state step by step and right now the target is Title IX.

All of this social media stuff and all these journalists accepting absurd arguments about white, straight players being somehow “targeted” is used shifting the Overton Window. Suddenly, it’s no longer wild to have external intervention because the “real women” need to be protected. Then the lawsuit.

There are no (out) trans players in the WNBA. They are weaponising hypotheticals because they are testing the waters for blowing up Title IX, just like they used Abigail Fisher to try and blow up DEI in uni. They have the Supreme Court and they are using these test cases to undo legislation.

Today years old when I learnt that the co-owner of the LA Sparks is also an investor in ICE detention centres. Mark Walter’s Guggenheim Partners has a $12 million stake in the GEO Group, a private prison company that is running detention centres for ICE. (H/t @moreperfectunion.bsky.social).

A couple of months ago someone asked me “What do you think of the DJT administration’s policy on Africa?” To which I replied “what policy?” I stand by that answer. USG Africa map mislaabels every single country on a slide deck at a conference. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Stop making me download apps for conferences. It’s annoying. You can just print one A3 poster size schedule and put it at the entrance if you don’t want to print multiple but stop making me download weird niche apps.

Paige Bueckers’ *career* high against the Atlanta Dream is 21. Dallas lost that one AND that was also only game in their head to head that Rhyne didn’t play in. In games where Howard plays, Bueckers’ high against the Dream is 16. Howard is one of the best defenders in the league so… relax. #wnba

Rhyne Howard is averaging 17.2 points per game (13th in the league), leads the league in steals and is second in 3PM. She has shifted the focus this season from only scoring to being one of the best defenders in the league and she is doing it. Not everyone has to be Kobe all the time. #wnba

Lish plays against Arike like she’s still mad that Dallas traded her instead. 😂 It’s probably a mutual respect, iron sharpens iron thing but there’s always an intensity there that she doesn’t have with a lot of other players.

When I was still growing into social media visibility I once posted something to the effect that “African politicians use anti-LGBTI legislation to distract people from holding them accountable”. A queer friend challenged me on that phrasing in a way that changed me and I think about often.

This ain’t it.
