that coverage would work in her favor tho. she should argue that her "EV mandate" is actually deregulation/free markets & pitch it however she wants, including national security. but she should be openly courting more battery plants & other types of manufacturing that are adjacent to EVs.

"...legislation that prevents regulation on producing EVs in the US. I'm also advocating for subsidies for facilities that produce environmentally more sustainable cars. We cannot allow China to take this vital industry from us." Or something. But she goes "national security" like it's freaking 2004

there's a lane for slotkin to actually strike this kind of protectionist policy in the democratic party & maintain her "moderate" (read: incoherent) stances.

"I like Michigan industry & want to protect it. I also believe America should be manufacturing cars. To that end, I am proposing..."

you own tiktok...people don't go to paramount for short form & with the stuff being done to the news there, they should be more aggressively pivoting to more first responder shows & more stuff for old people. this is hilarious.

Players don’t want to live in OKC but all you ever hear from guys once they get there is how well they’re treated and how professional the org is. When you’re a non-glamour market like that (or Portland) you have to win on that stuff to even have a chance at keeping players.

something I appreciate about nalyssa is her ability to score those off balance layups.

the self-report on him is the funniest part "I've been married for 40 years & my wife would not enjoy working with me". sounds like a him problem lol

Happy Birthday, enjoy another trip around the sun.

hm.

someone told paolo he needed to play like kd, but he's not the generational shooter that kd is. paolo needs to play more like derozan & out-footwork guys. or he could play more like peak boogie.

Can someone identify the skyline behind her? Lol

"objectivity" is code for "ignoring stuff that I don't think is that important". since a certain draft, a lot more of these voices have been centralized in women's hoops discourse to all of our detriment.

because of a specific odious element within wnba fandom/spaces, I want all the queer players to keep their ish as private as they're comfortable with. it doesn't affect the hoops so it should be kept for human interest stuff

everyone's saying that young guards are dead but the young guards are thriving

Draymond Green is one of the best defenders of all time. He's probably also the most controversial guy on that list, but his record speaks for itself.

Since his Hawks days I've thought so highly of him (& Millsap). I'm impressed he's stayed this good this long.

Steph is one of the greatest to ever pick up a ball

Omg Horford wtf

Kristaps is the exact big that the Warriors were looking for to complete their Infinity gauntlet. Wow, lol

deserved

wnba people: in recent years which guards have been the most physical drivers in recent history? kelsey mitchell & plum have both been relative speed demons & they're the most successful drivers that immediately come into my head. is it williams? or sykes?

excited for her. if all goes well, she sort of can do her take on the kelsey plum role, she's just there to hoop & pressure defenses. love this for her.

It’s so weird seeing folks who’ve never covered WBB or show the slightest care before 2024 be so eager to offer dissertations on why they believe Azzi, the best shooting prospect of all time, isn’t a top pick and it has nothing with the sport.

It’s always a man.

All they needed to do was get Caitlin, Kelz, Lexi and the other players to Film "welcome" videos for Raven & that would at least insulate her from some of this

this year's training camps are going to be heartbreaking. must watch tv. real hoopers who are now playing for generational wealth in addition to a roster spot will be cut & we will be lacking sufficient explanations. excited but also bracing for heartbreak.

the fit here is great, temi is a solid screener & rim runner, I fully expect her to complement marina really well & to help set up kiki

called that she wouldn't remain with the valks, but the tempo is perfect for her

@realfollowers.bsky.social I'm very curious at my number

they making sure to expose those who weren't media trained *early* so the teams' social leads can be prepared lmao

Katelyn, you're hitting the nail on the head here. I'm seeing many ignore *access* to the economy, even if it is good. In a workforce that's being resegregated, those being kicked out will not have a positive feeling about the economy. Ppl with childcare/medical costs rising are in the same boat.
