We looked up where every U.S. major sports team owner donated for the midterms so you don't have to! Here's a list of the top 25 donors. You can read more in stories broken down by sport/league at this link: frontofficesports.com/tag/20…

Almost everyone in their late 20s and 30s is having a quarter-life crisis because the previous generation wrecked the economy, priced us out of adulthood, and now treats us like failures for not owning a house or car that once cost a few years’ wages, not a lifetime of debt.

If you work for one of these companies, you should sit and think about what you'll do with the rest of your life to atone.

Watching our 44th President only show up in the 11th hour is getting annoying.

Every time I hear Malcolm Gladwell talk about his work as a guest on podcasts and whatever I can’t help but notice that he basically NEVER cites women. And you can tell.
Zito@_ZeetsOct 27
Malcolm Gladwell is a fucking fraud and has made a career and millions just spewing bullshit that falls apart if you have a working brain or decide to lightly fact-check him. A phenomenally stupid man and grifter.

Miss P@missphavinOct 25
I think its bc we measure adulthood through independence while making independence increasingly unaffordable. Ppl end up interpreting their economic dependence as evidence of personal immaturity, then seeking the social leniency we afford children. It's a strange feedback loop.

I think one less discussed consequence of this is that ppl w/ less money have to justify their absence from important moments in other ppl's lives bc financial constraints are experienced as relational failures. So inequality shapes who is perceived as a good friend/family member

The cost of flying is up 22% from last year. The average Southwest ticket for example, is about $231.69, up almost $50 from a year earlier.

i feel like it should be socially acceptable to describe long periods of poor mental health as “I was sick” when people ask why you “wasted” months or years of your life

“Support women’s sports” and then we schedule a Finals game this was. Sad and unacceptable tbh

A reminder that this is going to continue to be an issue as the number of games in the season increases. I don’t know what the solution is longterm, but this is NOT it for now.

That Game 5 of the WNBA Finals competes with the MLB World Series isn’t even the most embarrassing part for women’s sports this week: Game 6 [guaranteed] just got moved to LUNCHTIME on Thursday because the league is so incompetent. bleacherreport.com/articles/…

This is 9:30 in the morning for the Golden State Valkyries solely because the Atlanta Dream doesn’t want to play in their home arena, which only seats 3,500 (!!!!!) people.

On what planet does the WNBA think the demographics of their audience will casually be available to fill a large arena last-minute for a midday, weekday game? No wonder folks don’t take women’s sports seriously.

I think everyone saying it's so easy to get on disability benefits and get rich should just do it then. If it's so good and so easy. Don't just fantasize about it. Get on. Get your "bag" or whatever. I dare you.
