This is long overdue. Glad they’re doing it.

Best part is that they seem genuinely invested in growing the sport. Let’s hope it eventually comes to rival the men’s game!

Gotta be a bit of both for that…

It’s certainly an improvement over having to constantly watch SA Rugby Twitter go absolutely batshit every time Ben Smith makes a post.

I don’t really care about the Magic City thing, but this is weird by Kornet. Not because he’s against it, but because he seems to be using β€œrespect women” as a fig leaf for other concerns.

Reminder that Republicans literally cut Medicaid and SNAP to pay for a boost in military spending ahead of this.

Either they assassinated the leader of a sovereign nation or they accidentally killed the leader of a sovereign nation.

Both scenarios are really bad.

The initial publication of the article was perhaps understandable, but taking 12 years to retract it was unacceptable.

Would’ve been a great add for the Spurs. Knows the organization and could’ve helped with depth at the 4.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

On a somewhat related note, I think it’s fascinating how federalism both contributes to our current shitty situation and might be one of the biggest obstacles in this administration’s attempts to undermine the democratic process.

as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.

I am very concerned that the Spurs are about to lose this game

Being second in a loaded west does make him an all star coach, and that 9-3 stretch is one of the main reasons why they’re 2nd.

Whatever comes out of all this, it will be remembered that the front and end lines were the people on the ground. They put themselves on the line day after day while those most able to help them dawdled.

Asked about Minneapolis, Victor Wembanyama says, β€œPR has tried, but I’m not going to sit here and be politically correct.”

Then says β€œit’s crazy that people make it seem like … the murder of civilians is acceptable.”

A reminder to the news media: β€œconflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

So far, Warner, Cortez Masto, Rosen and Kaine are NO on the Homeland Security bill. Where is the Minority Leader?

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

They’re still managing to get the passive voice in there

Federal agents shoot person in Minnesota, governor says Minneapolis officials said they are investigating.

Another Gestapo murder in Minnesota. Six agents wrestle someone to the ground and then shoot him in the back
