I’m so sick of NBA owners in the WNBA

@BetOn_Her @maggiejmertens @206WomensSports Yesssss! Appreciate the follow!!

@JeffScottShaw @maggiejmertens @206WomensSports Done ✅ you’re in 🫶🏻

Am I missing any good women's sports podcasts? I am just trying to get as many in the app as I can and I feel like I am not very good at finding the one's for international women's sports. Actually I'm not good at finding the US ones too 😅

@beinstevie These are great!!

These tees I designed for the waterfront are now available at Boona Boona coffee on overlook walk!

@SkinsHoops86 @threadreaderapp unroll please

UCLA WBB's Cori Close pod w/ Athletic In the summer, had Zoom calls w/ parents, on how important it’d be to have the same message Eliminate distractions, be present focused. Don't talk about draft. Celebrate each others’ kids. If they had a complaint, come to her, not their kid

The Huskies, winners of 20 straight and 12-0 in Big Ten play, are on an unbelievable tear. Props to Heather Tarr, who basically rebuilt her entire roster a year ago.

@ByEdStrong @UWSoftball Not a bad back home weekend for Glab!

.@UWSoftball's Jadyn Glab came into this series hitless in 4 straight games and had even sat out close to two games (most of G3 vs Mich + midweek at Loyola) with a minor injury. Then in her return home, she did this: 6/11, 2 HR, 2B, 9 RBI, 5 R, 4 BB Slash: .545/.667/1.182

@ByEdStrong Preach!!! More to @UW_WBB and @UWSoftball

I hope UW does something with all the MBB units the conference is generating. Hopefully they'll put it towards something other than our own MBB team, which has proven to be a pretty awful ROI

@ByEdStrong @CoachTarr @BKilpatrick22 That's a world class view! Lol

Here's the "view" we got off Mazzola's strikeout

Extremely unimpressed by the production this weekend, @UMichAthletics @umichsoftball @BigTenPlus Dirty OF camera No scorebug until B2 today Now that the scorebug is there, the inning is wrong Live stats not working Ridiculous camera angles that miss the action

@PercyAllen206 You're in for a real treat Sunday!

Skylar Diggins or Olivia Miles? Or maybe both. The Storm will have difficult decisions to make.

@gasman206 @PuckSports I miss that MLK Hoopfest and all the coverage that used to be. Such a great way to celebrate hoops in this region.

@PuckSports I didn't do near as much as you did but one of my favorite shows of the year each year was our all day coverage of HS hoops on MLK day.

Really? We did it for 20 years.

@colinokeefe @Jessecooksfood Ballard... Soon to have the most grocery stores and private pickleball courts within walking distance of any zip code in Washington. 🤣 I'm curious to see how the math plays out with all of these facilities.

Is there a way I can short the pickleball real estate boom

@MakinHisWay ARBITRAGE

asked my friend what he does for a living "I get on Zoom calls and give opinions about products" "and they pay you for that?" "$300 last call. 30 minutes." "wait, how much a month?" "$2,500 minimum" he's made $110,000 doing this I stared at my phone for a full minute here's what he actually does: THE ZOOM ARBITRAGE SYSTEM: every morning: opens 3 platforms (Respondent, User Interviews, UserTesting) applies to every qualified study (15 mins) goes back to his day every evening: checks for acceptances (10 mins) schedules 2-3 calls per week that's it THE ECONOMICS: Meta needs feedback on new features → pays $400 Google tests products before launch → pays $300 Apple wants user opinions → pays $250 they make $100M improving products you make $300 for talking WHY MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS: Google "paid research studies" → 1,000 scam sites he spent 6 months finding the real platforms that's the only barrier THE MONEY: $150-500 per study 2-4 studies per week 30-90 mins per call $1,200-2,500/month 4 years of this = $110,000 WHY PEOPLE FAIL: they apply to 5 studies and give up they lie on screeners and get banned they ghost after getting accepted (instant blacklist) they don't know which demographics pay more THE TRUTH: he doesn't have a business he doesn't have followers he doesn't sell anything he just shows up, talks, gets paid "the algorithm doesn't know me" "the platforms do" comment "ARBITRAGE" and I'll send you the full Zoom Arbitrage breakdown (must follow for dm) most people will keep grinding to build businesses while $300 Zoom calls are sitting right there

🚨IMPORTANT: A new tax bill can unlock up to $30,000 in additional deductions for homeowners and high earners in 2025. This change can significantly reduce your tax bill. Here are the details:

@stevemagness @maggiejmertens wrote all about this! Better Faster Farther is worth the read: hachettebookgroup.com/titles/maggie-…

The lesson from 1928 isn’t just about sexism in sport. It’s about stewardship of stories. We all have a responsibility to question the narratives we inherit and the ones we repeat. Ask: Is this actually what happened, or just what fits the script I already believe? Tell truer stories—about women, about toughness, about success, about yourself. Because the stories we choose don’t just describe our world; they decide who gets a chance to run.

At the 1928 Olympics, women could run something longer than a sprint for the first time. They raced the 800. Disaster quickly ensued. Just about every paper reported the same thing: 5 women dropped out, Everyone else collapsed. It was chaos. And dangerous. As a result, women would barred from anything longer than a sprint for the next 28 years. ...It was all a lie. No one struggled... A single false story set back women's athletics for 3 decades. It teaches us about the power of a story:

@matthewswspence Exactly. And financially most have realized it's actually not a great "deal" even if it does lock in housing costs for 30 years. Even if we could put $80k down (20% on a $400k mortgage) we'd be paying $391,855.59 in interest over 30 years and the actual house cost $800k ish.

This is a great tweet because it proves how out of touch people are on housing. You have to make over >$100K/yr to afford this house. The median household income is $80K.

@HardPressedN Such a weird run of press from the NYT and while I was excited to see some coverage of Katie Wilson becoming Mayor but it's incredibly frustrating to see terrible writing and spin.

Here are the links: 🔗 Left: nytimes.com/2025/11/13/us/… 🔗 Right: nytimes.com/2025/11/13/us/…

What is going on at the NYT? There are two discrete reports on Mayor-elect Katie Wilson written by the same author reporting the same thing, on the same day, different tones/omitted language. Here are the hed and subheads:

@ronpdavis It's honestly such a terrible piece & so frustrating as it spends the first half glorifying Harrell...who lost. I just don't get it. Sure Katie Wilson hasn't been elected to public office but she's moved the needle through well connected organizing which is HARD to do in Seattle.

Katie Wilson is not a political newcomer. She may be new to *elected office*, but she has been working in politics and successfully passing landmark legislation for a decade.

@ByEdStrong @ThaRealUDUB SB also has a legacy of always being one of the top teams and programs. Winning + a different approach to how they engage, coach, and grow athletes really does separate them.

@ThaRealUDUB I mean, UW softball has had a total of two coaches in program history, both extremely good. SB regularly outdraws BSB even after BSB got a fancy new stadium while SB is stuck in one without a real press box I want BSB to succeed, but they're not remotely comparable

What is udub softball doing that udub baseball isn’t that has made them so much better

@2LurkOrNot2Lurk @jemelehill Amen! This is the piece that nobody seems to want to acknowledge and what has really held the W back in my opinion.

@jemelehill People keep throwing stones at the straw man who is just a placeholder for the NBAs decisions. The W will never truly be free if they can’t divest. And the NBA will never let them go.

One thing that’s being overlooked and forgotten with Cathy Engelbert is that she was hand-selected by the NBA to be WNBA commissioner. If accountability is supposed to go all the way to the top, then it seems Adam Silver needs to be asked some questions, too.
