WNBA officiating is a joke. Gave the game to the Aces. Inconsistency. All in Aces favor. Particularly in last couple of minutes when it was close. I knew the Fever would have to beat the Aces and the refs. I am done watching this tournament #WNBAofficiating
The only positive that could come out of this, the Fever’s worst game of the year, is if Stephanie White and her staff are fired. This should be the last straw. @stephaniewhite
WEDNESDAY HOT TAKE: PIERS MORGAN, THIS BOOK IS NOT ABOUT YOU
We normally save our hot takes for Mondays. But since Piers Morgan is trying to bully himself into becoming the main character of Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, consider this a special Wednesday edition.
That may be the entire fucking point.
If everybody is talking about Morgan fighting Earl Spencer, they are no longer talking about King Charles and Queen Camilla. Neither looks good in this book.
Spencer wrongly connected Morgan to the publication of Diana’s gym photographs in 1993. Morgan was working at The Sun. Spencer admitted the error and apologized.
Morgan deserved the correction. But he does not get to use one mistake to declare the entire book untrustworthy and demand its removal.
A bully does not want accountability. A bully wants submission.
We documented Morgan’s own record yesterday: fake Iraq-abuse photographs, a financial-journalism rebuke, his “utterly unpersuasive” phone-hacking explanation and the High Court’s findings about what senior Mirror figures knew.
Morgan received second chances. Now he wants Spencer destroyed over one corrected error.
How fucking convenient.
Because the real story is what Spencer alleges about Charles, Camilla and Diana.
Morgan has praised Camilla and discussed getting along with her. He also claimed unnamed members of the Royal Family expressed “gratitude” because somebody was “standing up” following his attacks on Prince Harry and Meghan Sussex.
According to Morgan, people inside the Royal Family were pleased with what he was doing.
Why pretend he is neutral now?
Before Meghan became his favorite target, Morgan praised her and met her for drinks. Then, in his telling, she “ghosted” him after meeting Prince Harry.
Meghan moved on. Morgan turned his rejection into content and rejuvenated his career through years of attacking her.
That is resentment with a production budget.
After Meghan disclosed experiencing suicidal thoughts while pregnant, Morgan declared on live television, “I don’t believe a word she says.”
Buckingham Palace never publicly told him he had crossed the line. But Morgan says unnamed royals privately expressed gratitude for his attacks.
Raw & Reckless Media asked whether Morgan still stood by his earlier statement that the Royal Family had a “dodgy track record” concerning race. We also asked whether he still stood by his claim that royals were grateful for his attacks on Prince Harry and Meghan Sussex.
Morgan did not answer.
He blocked us.
Where I come from, we call people like that bullies. And when a grown man spends years relentlessly attacking a woman from behind a massive platform but runs from a small independent outlet asking him to explain his own words, we have another name for that too.
We call them pussies.
That is exactly what I think Piers Morgan is.
Yes, that is personal. So what?
Morgan made it personal when he turned his resentment toward Meghan into years of televised abuse and cast doubt on a pregnant woman describing suicidal thoughts. He makes everything personal while hiding behind the excuse of journalism.
Bullies deserve to be challenged. Hypocrites deserve to be exposed. People who spend their careers dishing out personal attacks do not get to clutch their pearls when somebody finally returns the fucking energy.
Morgan received his correction and apology. What he wants now is control of the story.
The story should be about what Diana endured inside a marriage overshadowed by Charles’s relationship with Camilla. It should be about what Spencer alleges Charles said after Diana died and what happened to Prince William and Prince Harry afterward.
Instead, Morgan bullied himself into the center, giving Charles and Camilla somewhere to hide.
But this book is not about Piers Morgan.
It is about Diana.
No amount of shouting from an opportunistic, flip-flopping bully should make the public forget that.
Show up, Do Good!
Congratulations to Prince Harry on 12 incredible years of the Invictus Games. What began as a vision has grown into a powerful global community built on courage, resilience, service, and hope. Here’s to 12 years of changing lives and honoring the unconquered spirit.
King Charles lives in a prison of his own making, consumed by the bitterness that has turned his life into a sad, hollow existence.

It was revealed that Dolly Parton was secretly battling cancer but she didn't say anything and instead released this song as one of her last to raise funds for children with cancer. Even while she was sick she was still thinking about others. I’m absolutely devastated.
Aliyah Boston gets called for a Flagrant 1, sure protect Kahleah Copper as you should.
But refs didnt even care to check when it is Caitlin. Not a review, no foul, absolutely nothing
Trash ass worthless league😒😒😒
The fact that Steph White didn't take a tech after AT hit CC with a UFC move just shows how little she protects her players...
Cheryl Reeve or Becky Hammon would have ran onto the floor and stopped the game in rage if that happened to A'ja/Miles...
In the NBA, you go for the throat of someone and you’re ejected almost immediately
In the WNBA, you go for the throat of Caitlin Clark and it’s not even a foul
I’m confident the WNBA suspensions are forthcoming.
Because if this league is serious about player safety, you cannot watch Caitlin Clark get abused on the floor like this and pretend nothing happened.
The standard is either consistent or it is not.
Missed this earlier because I’m siting high up. But #Mercury star Alyssa Thomas pushing down on #Fever star Caitlin Clark’s neck is something the officials should have reviewed.
(To clarify, from my now *deleted* tweet, I’m not sure if this is related to CC’s back, but still.)
In one fell swoop, you just lost many of your fans. How can you support Trump, who is destroying the country. And he is a rapist and a pedophile. You have a daughter for heavens sake!@natebargatze
