The Warriors beat the Rockets tonight in OT with only 10 players, several on 2-way contracts. Guys named Dribble McHandles and Jumper Van Layup with significant minutes. Crazy town.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

they really might have ridden the anti-woke train all the way to bankruptcy court, an all time brand fuckup that should be taught as a cautionary tale in business school for decades

The tip-off the celebrations, the Warriors Women's Empowerment Month game against the LA Clippers on Monday, March 2, will be broadcast by all-female talent on NBC Sports Bay Area, including Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Cheryl Miller, Golden State Valkyries Head Coach Natalie Nakase, and NBC Sports college basketball and Athletics play-by-play announcer Jenny Cavnar. Additionally, Denise Long Rife, who became the first woman ever selected in the NBA Draft in 1969 (13th round by the Warriors), will serve as the ceremonial bell ringer prior to the game.

This Warriors Women’s Empowerment Broadcast is cool & stocked with broadcast talent.

But hear me outβ€” it’s 2026. The best way to empower women sports casters is to hire them for the other 81 games of the season.

Of course, always proud of my former law partners at @kekerllp.bsky.social who filed amicus briefs in support of the law firms who fought back and came out early & publicly against the Trump law firm EOs.

If so, this would be a big win for the rule of law. Thank goodness & many thanks to Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, and Susman Godfrey for fighting back after too many firms bent the knee to Trump (looking at you Paul Weiss/Brad Karp).

Cervical cancer rates higher in states with low HPV vaccination rates

RFK Jr *lies* when he says cervical cancer risk is increased in women who get the HPV vaccine.

New study: "States with high vaccination rates have seen the biggest drop in cervical cancer, while states with low vaccination rates have had little to no progress"

It seems like Trump, Miller, Hegseth etc are speed running Project 2025 & every right-wing hare-brained plan to destabilize the world before the midterms. As much death & destruction as possible. It’s sick & evil.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

But Quinn will play nice with Connor Storrie tonight. Won’t that fix everything???

Prediction: Quinn Hughes will tell Connor Storrie on SNL, in effect, how much he'd welcome an out gay hockey player in the NHL.

This is an attempt at damage control by Hughes & his team.

Don't let him or his brother Jack off the hook. They wrapped themselves in the Pedophile-in-Chief.
