From Fox News, a picture of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore Louise Lucas with the quote "You all started it, and we f---ing finished it."

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Senator Lucas is like FAFO personified.

Way to go, Virginia!

Julianna Margulies Joins Cast Of Hulu Series 'Paradise' For Season 3 Julianna Marguilies has joined the recurring cast of Dan Fogelman's hit Hulu series Paradise for Season 3.

But, thank goodness, they're finally giving me a reason to never watch that show again. I appreciate you, Dan Fogelman.

Think I'd been looking for a way to stop watching #Paradise.

I'm not usually a fan of sci-fi/post-apocalyptic fare but it had SKB and Sarah Shahi so I tried. Even though most of it perplexed me, I enjoyed parts of #Paradise, especially Shailene Woodley's arc.

This is horrific. My God.

Black transgender women report uniquely inescapable abuse across North Carolina prisons Three Black transgender women chronicle alleged abuses they faced while serving time in men's prisons in North Carolina.

There are currently 260 trans women in state prisons, according to N.C. Department of Adult Corrections, and all 260 are housed in male facilities.

Although they make up just 0.8% of the total prison population, research finds that they are more vulnerable to assault.

I know a lot of Liberty fans. A lot. I do not know how many of their fandoms would've survived if this hadn't happened.

BHL is foundational, for sure.

LaChina Robinson, Sarah Kustok Expected to Join WNBA on NBC Veteran analysts LaChina Robinson and Sarah Kustok are expected to join NBC Sports’s coverage of the WNBA this season.

Super excited about this. Would've been hard to imagine a #WNBA season without Lachina. frontofficesports.com/lachina-robi...

Congratulations to @itsmeghanlhall.bsky.social, @calliefin.bsky.social, and North Carolina's very own, @northam67.bsky.social. #USATodayStudioIX couldn't have picked a better team. t.co/7E6nBCuBO7

Via Talia Goodman on X, ON3 transfer portal graphic shows that former NC State shooting guard Zamareya Jones has chosen to transfer to Louisville.

I love supporting former #NCState student-athletes. Just last night, I was excited to hear Jessica Timmons' name called during the #WNBADraft, as she spent two seasons in Raleigh before transferring.

Zam going to Louisville, though? LOUISVILLE?! I'm gonna need a minute.

Oddly enough: when I go to Sam Jones, I get the pimento cheese and pork skins. #topchef

As if they're trying to thank me for this piece, #TopChef is doing an Eastern BBQ challenge tonight.

RIP to the Flau’Bay era, you were too good for this world 😭

Leila Lacon and Nell Angloma. A French connection for Connecticut. #wnbadraft

FWIW, the #WNBA should follow the #NWSL's lead and abolish the draft. #wnbadraft

FLAU'JAE IN THE BAY IS GOING TO EAT.

Kiki in Toronto?

Oh, the "Kiki, do you love me? Are you riding?" jokes are never going to stop. #OVO #wnbadraft

Chicago blew the opportunity to get Sonia Citron in last year's draft so they got the most comparable player to her in this year's draft: Gabriela Jaquez. #wnba

I do wonder when we'll see an American player sue the #wnba for its age restrictions. If international players can join the league at 19, why can't Americans?

That Seattle front court?

Awa Fam, 6'4".
Ezi Magbegor 6'4"
Dom Malonga 6'6"

Tough.

#wnbadraft

Surprised to see Olivia Miles go this early, TBH, especially considering what Minnesota's needs are. #wnbadraft

With the #1 pick in the #WNBADraft, the Dallas Wings select the People's Princess, Azzi Fudd, from the University of Connecticut. 👑

After being spoiled by those Malika Andrews and Chiney Ogwumike player interviews, now I'm trying to gird myself for Holly's terrible ass interviews. #wnba

From fifth place to absolute last. You love to see it.

pre-game is on now, draft starts at 7
