I was appalled by what happened during the Indiana Fever game last night.
Chicago's Natasha Cloud threatened former NBA player and future WNBA first-round pick Enes Kanter.
There is simply no place for this type of woman-on-woman violence in our society and it needs to stop.
After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.
If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.
My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.
I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.
See you at training camp.

I'm not backing down from this one.
You can support people's rights AND believe biological men shouldn't compete in women's sports. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
My issue isn't hate. It's protecting women, protecting girls, and asking why a WNBA coach chose to inject herself into a controversy that could hurt the very league she's supposed to represent.
Common sense still matters. That's where I stand.
My full remarks are on YouTube.
Just wrapped our earnings call.
It was a very strong close to what was a record fiscal year for Microsoft.
· Annual revenue: $331B, +18%
· MS Cloud: $214B, + 27%
· And Azure: $100B, +41%
And even bigger opportunity ahead!
I wanted to share some more perspective on two areas of focus for us:
$MSFT plans to test China’s Kimi K3 for Copilot as it adds the open-weight model to Azure.
Engineers will evaluate whether K3 can power features now using OpenAI and Anthropic models after it topped Arena’s coding leaderboard and overwhelmed Moonshot’s GPU capacity.
$MSFT reportedly added a huge chunk of Azure capacity last month.
If this is correct, Azure’s Q3 numbers should be way higher than expected.
Note that OpenAI growth is also reaccelerating, which is another tailwind for Azure.
I don’t see how $MSFT doesn’t re-rate from here.
$MSFT FCF is expected to nearly triple from ~$55B in 2027 to ~$165B by 2030 as Copilot scales across its existing enterprise customer base.
That gives Microsoft a clearer path than most hyperscalers to turn heavy AI infrastructure spending into high-margin AI revenue.
