Blithe Rocher, Ph.D.

I have a low tolerance for dysfunction.

It’s been a while

@DALLASBRADEN209 & @ChrisCaray thank you for the shout out! @Blithe you are a great model! #stomperbeanie #herefortheplayers

@QCortes It me

@TeslaOwnersEBay was the Alameda lights drive today or yesterday? Email says today but form says yesterday.

Women’s sports are the start-ups of the sports industry. The global sports market is expected to grow to $700B by 2026 - and women’s sports have some of the highest rates of growth in sports right now. Anyone looking to make future money in sports should be investing in women.

@Oakland68s @lastdivebar maybe we can croudfund our own bobble head giveaway. First 500 fans to visit the bleachers get one.

@AtlantaJones @rochers Saw this at the mall the other day.

@rochers Awesome, now can we get Toys-R-Us back?

Turnarounds are possible tedgioia.substack.com/p/what-can-we-…

@rochers I’d put Microsoft in this bucket too.

@rcatanese The @oaklandrootssc and @oaklandsoulsc are dong a ton of stuff including their foundation. oaklandrootssc.com/foundation/

Twitter TL request: Any nonprofits doing cool work in the soccer space? Would love any and all recs of people using soccer to do good things for their communities.

@BenRossTweets This game is a hot mess.

Oh no USC

@jm3 Someone recommended newsletterss.com for this. I haven’t tried it yet so I’m not sure if it suffers from the same major platform restrictions or not.

A second approach is, instead of “fixing spam” by getting a high signal to noise inbox, is to instead subscribe to email newsletters via RSS, and just skip the inbox. This works so long as the newsletters are hosted on a major platform like substack. This is what I’m doing now.

I want to riff on email newsletters because I feel like I’m missing something. Here’s what’s up:

@Quicktake @TheSportsBraPDX I’ve never wanted to open a local bar more in my life.

"Nobody loses when you push towards equity and, representation.” It’s called “The Sports Bra” and their goal is to support women but not in the way you might think. Check out @TheSportsBraPDX: a bar where women’s sports is the star.

@benblumenrose Are you looking for something nicer than a G-Shock?

Any watch lovers have an analog watch they recommend for outdoor sports / activities? Something rugged and high quality?

@dieworkwear Someone sell me a sample pack of these please.

dusita's issara (hay + honey). i also like indult's tihota (perfect vanilla), ds & durga's silent grove (great w tweeds), helmut lang's cuiron (ideal w leather jackets), carlen's butch femme (smells like pho; perfect for summer), and encre noire (also one of Tania Sanchez's favs)

@asana this is one of the best pieces of swag I’ve ever received. I wish I could buy another one. Just wanted to say thank you.

@jachristian Some light flooding at Powell St under the 580 in Emeryville. Also at 62nd and Hollis. Also some around Lincoln Park in Alameda.

Covering the storm this morning. If you see any flooding, downed trees or newsworthy weather things, let me know 🌧️ @sfchronicle #CAwx

@AsHotDog I don’t feel bad for them.

Okay, I now genuinely feel bad for Giants fans.

@kateefeldman Maybe he broke a rib by getting a massage again.

@jachristian 🙋‍♀️

Anyone else get woke up by MyShake?
