@paulswaney3 This is clearly an AI-generated image. If there really were a boss like this, no one would ever eat at his restaurant. However, many people still shared their opinions, proving that the social phenomenon of tipping more than 25% still exists.
Security definitely overstepped here and I’m glad the league called it out. Free speech matters. But let’s be real, these groups are buying these seats on purpose to bait security and spark a culture war. Can we just focus on the hoops?
The WNBA admits it got it wrong.
After security forced a mother and her 17-year-old daughter to cover their XX-XY Athletics shirts during the Fever-Dream game in Atlanta, the WNBA has put out a statement saying that was the wrong move.
“This should not have happened.”
The pair, who were seated courtside, wore the shirts for 4 quarters without issue before security confronted them in overtime. They said they were told the shirts — worn in support of Sophie Cunningham’s stance on keeping biological males out of women’s sports — were “offensive.”
Their choice: cover them up with Atlanta Dream shirts or be thrown out.
The WNBA admitted security crossed the line by offering the ultimatum.
More details below.

Look who made my display of the best books I’ve read in the last 2 years at the Kathryn-Linnemann Branch of the St. Charles City-County Library District in St. Charles, Missouri. Love you Joey (!!)
Daily reminder that Ticketmaster is a monopoly, it’s merger with LiveNation should never have been approved, and they need to be reigned in.
Break them up.
On issue after issue, widely popular policies are stymied because giant corporations and billionaires who don’t want to pay taxes or follow any rules use their money and influence to stand in the way of big, structural change. It’s corruption, plain and simple.
To friends who feel deflated tonight: a big virtual hug. To those who feel elated: enjoy this uplifting moment. Time for us all to show the virtue of leading with hospitality. Much hard work to do, many big problems to solve. Nothing possible without a place at the table for all.
Forget reclining. The real assholes are the people standing shoulder to shoulder with their toes touching the luggage carousel so no one can even see their bags let alone reach them #RECLINEGATE
History will not be kind to Donald Trump.
Because truth matters. Right matters. And decency matters.
It may be midnight in Washington, but the sun will rise again.
I put my faith in the optimism of our Founders.
You should too.
