A really, really great youtube doc, about 25 mins, about Norm that was released around his passing. Loved that guy and OJ Simpson killed his wife.

I seriously think his decision to brand it "x" was to protect the name "twitter" from his unpopularity and inevitably devaluation of the platform.

It's totally unfair to use Caitlin Clark as an example of the pay disparity as well. She's a rookie on a pay scale. Her salary is less than half the average wnba salary. What's really crazy to me is that the average salary is about 150k with only one woman making over 250k. For the salaries to be that flat seems odd compared to other pro sports but it's just a part of the W having less revenue. Athletes have very strong unions also.

"Some of the best players in the wnba could likely play in the NBA..."

As an avid NBA fan (occasionally watch wnba) this is absolutely not true. Golf, Nascar, Tennis, yeah. It's more likely to happen in the NFL than it is in the NBA though, because specialists positions like kicker. The NBA, players are required to play both offense and defense. For a woman to have both the pure athleticism to be competitive with the best 500 male basketball players in the world? Not an impossibility but she'd still likely be bench depth and seen as a pr motivated move. That level of nba player gets paid, maybe, 3x the top paid WNBA player but it's give and take with potential endorsements etc.

For some reason the phrase "thought experiment" makes me want to beat the shit out of the person who said it.

I can't find anything about the debate rules, etc. Anyone know if its the same structure as the last debate?

Roger Alies and Roger Stone were on the Nixon staff. Helll, even Eisenhower is mostly responsible for the GOP co-opting Christianity. Before that they leaned left cus of the charity and and helping the needy.

I legit think Sarah Palin was when the GOP jumped the shark.

Expecting Republicans to be on the correct side of Isreal is legit the dumbest thing I've read all week.
