The Liberty have attempted 30 free throws and the Fever have attempted 15. Stewie herself has attempted 13. This is nuts #wnba

Counting down until @IndianaFever tip off tomorrow…it’s been a week for our girls! Still loving the fan art NBA 2k remake my hubs @OutlawHue made for @aa_boston and wanted to share something positive ❤️‍🔥#indianafever #aliyahboston #nba2k #feverrising

I honestly think that Caitlin Clark played decent defense vs Portland. She had no help from any bigs in the paint. That’s coaching. Those fouls against don’t really look like fouls. 3 of them looked weak to me. Plus she wasn’t getting same consideration on her offense when she was getting fouled .

x.com/THEREALDAWG74/status/2…. The tape in question is her playing good defense and nobody rotating to help 😭😭😭😭😭🕊️🕊️

You cannot actually watch Caitlin Clark games and tell me her whistle is the same. Even when tiny touch foul are called, she can get hacked the entire same game with nothing. Nasty to watch really

The @WNBA is signing it's death warrant if they keep letting the refs call ticky tack fouls on Caitlin Clark like this.

Good time for an Aliyah Boston fan art drop…leave our girl alone 💪 Art by my husband @OutlawHue #feverrising

I’m staying up late for this fever game and the broadcasters are driving me insane 😅 among an already ugly game. Usually love Kara but the tangents are killing me. Anyone else? #feverrising

Sam Altman said people saying “please” and “thank you” to ChatGPT costs OpenAI tens of millions of dollars a year in compute. 67% of Americans do it anyway. Run the math on why. A 2024 Waseda University study tested LLM responses across politeness levels in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Impolite prompts produced measurably worse outputs: more bias, more errors, more refusals. Moderate politeness consistently beat both extremes. The mechanism makes sense once you see it. Polite prompts pattern-match to higher-quality training data. When you write “Could you help me structure this analysis?”, the model pulls from professional, well-reasoned text. When you write “give me the answer,” it pulls from Reddit. Google DeepMind’s Murray Shanahan explained it simply: the model is role-playing a smart intern. Treat the intern like a colleague, you get colleague-quality work. Bark orders, you get minimum-viable compliance. Now look at the cost side. OpenAI handles over a billion queries daily. Each GPT-4 query uses roughly 2.9 watt-hours, ten times a Google search. But OpenAI just raised $40 billion at a $300 billion valuation. Tens of millions in politeness tokens is a rounding error on a rounding error. 67% of users do it anyway, and 55% of them say it’s because it’s “the right thing to do.” They’re maintaining a behavioral habit that governs every other interaction in their life. The parent who teaches their kid to say please to Alexa isn’t doing it for Alexa. They’re doing it because the alternative is raising someone who learns that being rude gets faster results. Telling 900 million people to stop saying thank you so OpenAI can save 0.01% of operating costs is the most engineer-brained optimization take on the internet. You’re training yourself to treat every interaction as a transaction. And that habit doesn’t stay in the chat window.

Phee for the game winner. Best shot I’ve ever seen

The Campbell Soup scandal isn’t just another corporate embarrassment. It is a window into the rot that has been fermenting inside America’s food conglomerates for decades. When a top executive is caught on tape admitting that the company’s products amount to “shit for poor people,” he isn’t revealing a moment of drunken exaggeration—he’s revealing the contempt that the corporate caste has for the very public that keeps them alive. This is what happens when monopoly power, cheap science, and moral bankruptcy collide. A vice president—one sitting at the top floor, insulated from the real world—spills out the truth in a private meeting: he doesn’t eat the products. He knows what’s in them. He knows what corners are cut. He knows what kind of engineered mystery-slurry gets passed off as nourishment in the name of shareholder value. And he knows who buys it: the people living on the margins, the families stretching every dollar, the households that still treat a can of soup as a meal. And behind the curtain, the man admits he wouldn’t touch the stuff with a ten-foot pole. Bioengineered meat. Lab-designed protein blocks. The whispered specter of 3-D printed chicken. He speaks about it like a man confessing to a crime—because in his world, these are normal ingredients, accepted practices, cost-saving miracles. The public was never supposed to hear this. This was the private language of the corporate priesthood. Then comes the most predictable chapter of the entire saga: the employee who reported the behavior gets fired. Retaliation masquerading as “policy enforcement.” The old corporate playbook never changes—punish the messenger, bury the scandal, polish the boilerplate “these comments do not reflect our values” statement, and hope the media cycle forgets before the next quarterly earnings call. But this time, the comments are too grotesque, too revealing, too aligned with what millions of people already suspect about the modern American food machine. The truth slipped out: the executives don’t eat the products. They don’t trust the ingredients. They don’t respect the customers. They see the public the way an aristocrat sees the peasants—useful only as long as they keep buying the gruel. This is not a Campbell problem alone. It is systemic. It is cultural. It is the inevitable outcome of a nation that turned its food supply into a chemical engineering contest and its citizens into unwitting test subjects. The corporate giants build their fortunes on low-grade inputs and high-octane marketing. They hire scientists not to improve nutrition, but to enhance shelf life, reduce cost, and mimic flavor. They hire lobbyists to rewrite regulations. They hire executives who speak about the public with seething disdain behind closed doors. And when the truth leaks out—it always leaks out—they call it an “isolated incident.” No. This was not an incident. This was an accidental confession. The real question isn’t whether Campbell’s uses bioengineered or lab-printed meat in its soups. The real question is how many other corporations do—and how many executives privately avoid the very products they push onto the population every single day. When a VP rants that he doesn’t eat the food because he “knows what’s in it,” you’ve been given a glimpse into the American food pyramid’s darkest secret: the people designing the system do not live inside it. And that is the scandal. Not the vulgarity. Not the rant. Not the lawsuit. But the admission that the system is so rotten that even the architects refuse to eat from their own assembly line. Once a truth like that escapes, it cannot be stuffed back into a can.

Listening to Kelsey talk, I've just never known an athlete, or even a normie, who is at once so many beautiful things. She's humble, she's cerebral, she's kind, she has a quiet confidence that doesn't need braggadocio, and she rides hard for her teammates. She's truly endearing.

RT @_Breezy_Briii: I promise you don’t have to show blind loyalty to the government or government agencies. No one is safe until we are all…

A’ja setting a walking screen but Aliyah Boston’s toe moving is a foul

Let’s FGOOOOOOO Fever Nation 🚨🔥 But first we gotta beat the league, the Commissioner, the refs, the floor cleaner, the security staff, SW’s random rotations, A’ja Wilson’s special whistle, the timekeeper, and the dude running the lights. Other than that, we got this! 😂🙌 @IndianaFever @CaitlinClark22

ALIYAH BOSTON OH MY GOD

Fervent: Sovereign Struggle online comic is in works #comicbooks #illustration #wipart #indiedev

steph white: “i think it’s pretty egregious, what’s been happening to us the last few games. -31 free throw discrepancy. i might be able to understand it if we’re just chucking threes—the disrespect right now for our team has been pretty unbelievable.”

Obsessed with the calm “I got it,” then the immediate crash out 😭😂💀

The dream played great basketball and the fever played terrible but only lost by 1. That’s a good sign #feverrising
