Emily La Chapell, a former Appleton East (WI) standout, has committed to the UW–Oshkosh women's basketball program. This is a big-time pickup for head coach Brad Fischer. She previously played college basketball at Marquette and Belmont.

Home. Blessed to announce my commitment to UWO! Grateful for the coaches and teammates who’ve been part of my journey. Ready to join a program that sets the #GoldStandard. Titan Nation - Let's get it! 🖤💛 #HailTitans #TitanUp @UWOCoachFischer @GoldStandardNIL @UWOWBB1

Let's go!

This is the philosophical bankruptcy of a brilliant engineer laid bare in a single post. Musk proposes that the government pay people not to work because machines will do the working for them. This is not a new idea. It is the old idea of something for nothing, repackaged in silicon. Start with the economics. Mises demonstrated that production must precede consumption. You cannot distribute wealth that has not been created by someone. If AI produces the goods, someone still owns the AI, maintains it, directs it, and decides what it produces. That is not a post-work society. That is a society in which the producers have changed tools. The question Musk refuses to ask is: by what right does the government seize the output of those producers to mail checks to those who did not produce it? "There will not be inflation" because production will exceed the money supply increase. This assumes the government will print only enough and never more. This is the assumption of every inflationist in history. Hayek called this the pretense of knowledge. Mises demonstrated that no central authority can calculate economic outcomes for a dynamic economy because it lacks the pricing information that only free markets generate. This is not a technical problem to be solved. It is an impossibility built into the nature of centralized control. Now the moral question Musk avoids entirely. Man survives by using his mind. Work is not a burden to be eliminated. It is the means by which a rational being sustains his life, creates value, and achieves purpose. A man who receives a check for existing is not free. He is a dependent. He has been severed from the process that gives his life meaning. Rand would say Musk is proposing to turn every American into a ward of the state, fed and housed by the productive, with no purpose and no self-respect. Mike Lee asks the right question: why would you trust the government to do this? But the deeper question is: why would you want any institution, government or otherwise, to replace the individual's responsibility for his own survival? That is not compassion. That is the destruction of the human spirit performed with a direct deposit. Musk builds rockets because he refused to accept that space was closed to private enterprise. He should apply that same principle to the economy: trust free individuals to adapt, innovate, and create new forms of value, as they have after every technological revolution in history. The printing press did not create permanent unemployment. Neither did the steam engine, electricity, the automobile, or the internet. Each one destroyed old jobs and created new ones that no one could have predicted. AI will do the same, if the government stays out of the way. Universal High Income is not the future. It is the end of the future, paid for monthly.

Loving Jesus is fun, try it. 🤎

🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!! The man who m*rdered Iryna Zarutska on the Light Rail in Charlotte NC, DeCarlos Brown Jr... ...has just been found “INCAPABLE TO PROCEED” on the state m*rder charge brought against him WHAT THE HELL?!!!!!!!!

EMILY LA CHAPELL (@emlachapell) WITH THE HOOK FOR THE WIN! The game winner with 1 second left gets Marquette the 65-63 W over Butler

Small town Wisconsin bars are great. Walk in, everyone shoots daggers at you, 5 minutes later: Having a beer with a guy named Clem, do the shake of the day, while an older gal named Gladys, who you’ve never met, buys you a shot of Wild Turkey, and the bartender calls you Hon.

The most successful, accomplished coach at UW-Parkside, and if they won't celebrate you. Then I will. Grateful for the opportunity you gave me 2 years ago, and will be forever indebted and loyal to you for that. Nobody accomplished more with less, and in spite of the situation.

I miss the days when the NCAA Tournament used home floors and you knew instantly where every game was being played. Every game now has the same generic feeling. Bring back this vibe.

He was not lying 😭😭😭

It has been 35 years and I can still smell the rubber from my 1991 March Madness Pizza Hut mini basketball inside my nose.

The first guy who makes a three in the state tournament and doesn't do any sort of hand signal is my hero.

BREAKING: The "Bachelorette" caught on camera allegedly attacking her ex-boyfriend and throwing a chair at him. ABC sure knows how to pick them, don't they?

It's rare to see a sophomore leading a Final Four team in scoring, rebounding, steals, and blocks. It's even rarer for a sophomore to be named the Player of the Year in arguably the strongest region in the country. Yet, that's exactly what UW-Oshkosh's Paige Seckar has done this season. My feature for the The Scoop on D3 Women's Hoops has more on the Titans' emerging star: #d3hoops | @UWOshkoshTitans | @paigeseckar d3wbbscoop.substack.com/p/seckar-stand…

@CoachMBullis Oh here we go...😃

Imagine that. Common sense prevailed and they let the plays on the court determine the outcome and not some silly technicality… #PunIntended

Who is St. Patrick and why are we celebrating him? Well, he founded 300 churches & baptized roughly 120,000 people. He "found Ireland ALL HEATHEN and left it ALL CHRISTIAN." That's a need for celebration in my book! Happy St. Pats day! ☘️

Also: @EricLeDuc52 wore my Notre Dame Irish T shirt (didn't match our green uni) under his jersey to cover up his chicken pox. Hotels were decideded by seed. As a #12 seed, we stayed at the Flying J Motel connected to the truck stop. Coach Bennett loved their banana cream pie.
