Philanthropy & NFP boffin. All about making impact in social investment. Expect #womeninsport musing. Views are mine. @cat-fay.bsky.social

@NicNegrepontis Sweet baby jasus the new logo is sooo much better. Is the backlash KG and Cornsey? Are they still on the radio?

@marissalordanic 100% this. A remarkable term with the PFA.

[Cat Fay (she/her) @cat_fay]

football in this country would be miles behind where it is without this woman - both men’s and women’s. Quietly, bravely, and with absolute determination.
There should be a thousand articles written to celebrate her achievements in the game and at the PFA. Congrats Kate.

[Professional Footballers Australia @thepfa]

Thank you, Kate! 👏

Co-Chief Executive Kate Gill will conclude over a decade of service to Australia’s professional players after announcing she will step down from her role.

Since joining PFA management in 2015, Kate delivered a number of initiatives, including the first-ever A-League Women CBA, groundbreaking national team and league CBAs and leading the organisation and players through the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We thank Kate for all she’s done for the organisation and the players throughout her tenure and wish her all the best with what’s next!

BASKETBALL:
Big news in the WNBL, with Wollemi Capital Group (who are majority owners of the Sydney Flames/Hoops Capital) and the NBL to assume control of the WNBL at the conclusion of the upcoming season.

Perfect demonstration how AI is created by stealing original work, removing any joy or wonder and making it worse for no reason.

[Cat Fay (she/her) @cat_fay]

@ACNCommissioner Congrats!

Hang it in the louvre next to this one.
True trailblazer @lydsaussie.

[Tara Rushton @TaraRushton]

Pioneers, champions, trailblazers.
Thank you for inspiring us all.

[Craig Foster @Craig_Foster]

If you enjoyed last night’s Matilda’s 2-0 win against China ahead of the Paris Olympics campaign, check out ‘Trailblazers’.

The history of the Matilda’s through the generations and the fight for recognition and equality that has culminated in the cultural phenomenon that sees 130,000 Australians turn out for two matches in recent days, their 14th and 15th consecutive sold out games.

Incredible.

Out today on @StanAustralia

This is what happens when we cannot interrogate the algorithms and data that sit behind digital technologies. This is the very public canary in the coal mine that’s frankly been dead a long time.

[Brian Merchant @bcmerchant]

Bizarre and suspect. Why would OpenAI pull the voice if it was confident it was not trained on Scarlett Johansson's? Unless at least *some* Johansson audio clips were in the training data? Hard to say, from the company that can't tell you if its models were trained on YouTube
