Two news headlines:

Caitlin Clark's rookie card fetches $660,000 at auction in record sale

WNBA players say they're not paid what they're owed. Are they right?

Two news headlines: Caitlin Clark's rookie card fetches $660,000 at auction in record sale WNBA players say they're not paid what they're owed. Are they right?

Her salary is $78,000, so based on the first piece of information I'd say yes she is not being paid what she's worth.

This should be blazing headline news about the budget.

The country’s future with a massively empowered ICE is bleak, violent, and probably impossible to come back from.

Reporter: Are you going to deport Elon Musk?

Trump: We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.

hi, bluesky. let’s have another chat about alt text. – there's no way out of here

I think more people should understand what alt text is for and use it correctly when they share images on social media. @eustace.justshootme.ca even wrote a lovely piece about it.

Iggy needs a kidney - Iggy's Up All Night The TL;DR on how you can help (if you scroll down, the full story is below): In short I have a disease that requires a living kidney donor. There are no other viable options for me. I have only a few ...

I am afraid I have absolutely terrible news. I need a lot of help now, from everyone. I currently have NO CLEARED DONOR for transplant and we only have a short period of time to get this done. Please SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE AND PLEASE TRY TO DONATE!

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

I will NEVER get over the "slow progress" bullshit. Slaves didn't ask nicely and wait for freedom. Women didn't ask nicely and wait for rights. Every compromise that was made is a historic mark of shame. Noone is free until everyone's free; no one is safe until everyone's safe.

Why, it's almost as if Democratic voters are sick and tired of the Democratic commentariat and party cadre and really aren't interested in what they have to say at this point.

it is genuinely incredible that zohran's campaign completely annihilated the democratic commentariat and party cadre mainstreaming of the idea that you need to concede palestine and trans rights to the zionists and republicans to 'gather votes'. lmfaoooo
