I'm just going to rec some good creators that filled the void.

Matt Orchard probably has the highest quality content. Strong recommendation for him.

Dreading. Seems Intentionally dry but covers the most details of a case. Sometimes posting 4 hours of courtroom footage.

Explore with Us. Probably the most tabloid style presentation and worst editorial takes. They have the longest chunks of police interrogation though. They have alt channels for body cam stuff too which is pretty dope.

Average NBA salary is about 10 million. So Wemby is getting paid like 120% the average in his league. Clark is getting about 50% the average in her league.

I seriously think his decision to brand it "x" was to protect the name "twitter" from his unpopularity and inevitably devaluation of the platform.

It's totally unfair to use Caitlin Clark as an example of the pay disparity as well. She's a rookie on a pay scale. Her salary is less than half the average wnba salary. What's really crazy to me is that the average salary is about 150k with only one woman making over 250k. For the salaries to be that flat seems odd compared to other pro sports but it's just a part of the W having less revenue. Athletes have very strong unions also.

You do know that professional sports is considered part of the entertainment industry, right? This is like you insisting that Margot Robbie and Christian Slater should be paid the same because they do the same job.

"Some of the best players in the wnba could likely play in the NBA..."

As an avid NBA fan (occasionally watch wnba) this is absolutely not true. Golf, Nascar, Tennis, yeah. It's more likely to happen in the NFL than it is in the NBA though, because specialists positions like kicker. The NBA, players are required to play both offense and defense. For a woman to have both the pure athleticism to be competitive with the best 500 male basketball players in the world? Not an impossibility but she'd still likely be bench depth and seen as a pr motivated move. That level of nba player gets paid, maybe, 3x the top paid WNBA player but it's give and take with potential endorsements etc.

First car was a 93 Carolla named the rockolla. Then an 87 Supra turbo that looked like it was straight out of mad max. That was Facemelter. Then I had Gump, the no runner (a 4runner that was always breaking down) and then the station dragon. My current car is Beyonce.

This is both comforting and incredibly morbid. Idk how to feel.
