‘Incredibly scary’: The future of transgender rights under a 2nd Trump administration

The president-elect targeted trans rights on the campaign trail. Now, individuals and parents whose children could be impacted say they are preparing for the worst.

On the campaign trail this year, Donald Trump and his surrogates spewed tons of anti-transgender rhetoric in the form of speeches, ads, and written policies. Trump’s campaign spent $11 million on an ad that targeted Vice President Kamala Harris’s policies on transgender rights and nearly $215 million on anti-trans TV ads.

Tyrese Haliburton is broken for Pacers, and he says he doesn’t have any answers

Haliburton’s latest interview is a painful reminder of his diminished play over the last year.

Tyrese Haliburton was considered a fringe top-15 player in the NBA entering his fifth pro season this year. The point guard was one of the breakout stars of last season by leading the Indiana Pacers’ super fast, super efficient offense with a spectacular blend of playmaking and long distance shooting. Haliburton was so good that Indiana locked him up to a $244 million contract...

Reed Sheppard’s diving behind-the-back assist is NBA’s best pass this season

The Houston Rockets rookie made an incredible play against the Trail Blazers.

Reed Sheppard wasn’t supposed to be a one-and-done prospect, but his freshman season at Kentucky was so outstanding that it vaulted him to the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The Houston Rockets selected Sheppard for his knockdown shooting, strong feel for the game, and razor-sharp hands that specialized in forcing turnovers. While he’s struggling to carve out rotation minutes on a deep and...

Kristen Radtke / The Verge

Bluesky feels like the big winner right now.

I’ve been covering Bluesky ever since I got my invite in April 2023. I’ve felt the platform has always had promise, especially with features like feeds with custom algorithms and the ability to let users pick their own moderation filters.
