It looks like Caitlin Clark has settled on making the WNBA her priority, since the Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has declined an invitation to participate in the NBA All-Star weekend’s highly anticipated 3-point shootout. Clark’s decision, as confirmed by her representatives at Excel Sports, underscores her commitment to the WNBA and her desire to make her 3-point contest debut at the WNBA All-Star game in Indianapolis this summer.
It looks like Indiana will have it’s core player for this year as Kelsey Mitchell resigns with the Fever. This will be Mitchell’s 8th season with the franchise, who drafted her as the second overall pick in the 2018 WNBA draft.

Kitchie Nadal is currently looking for a second home for her 20+ Years Old Parker Fly Deluxe Guitar.
Posted on her IG Account (@kitchienadal);
From Wikipedia, “The Parker Fly was a model of electric guitar built by Parker Guitars. It was designed by Ken Parker and Larry Fishman, and first produced in 1993. The Fly is unique among electric guitars in the way it uses composite materials. It is notable for its light weight (4.5 lb; 2.0 kg) and resonance. It was also one of the first electric guitars to combine traditional magnetic pickups with piezoelectric pickups, allowing the guitarist to access both acoustic and electric tones. Production ended in 2016 and the company has not released a new model of any kind since.”
She did not mention on the asking price, and the price could any where between $300 to $10,000. Considering sentimental value of the guitar to Kitchie Nadal, I’m sure she will be very meticulous on who gets to own her beloved 20+ Years Old Parker Fly Deluxe Guitar.

Here is an extended version of the epic sit-down between the three biggest stars in the NBA.
The original version was barely over 7 minutes. This new video released by the NBA is a hair over 21 minutes, which is three times the length of the first video.
Nintendo has officially announced the Switch 2, the company’s next generation handheld gaming system. Because of the all the leaks, an official announced is all but official.
Nintendo did not provide any details on the specs and the pricing but they did release a “first look” trailer (below) that give more or less an idea on what the Switch 2 will look like.
Here’s what Nintendo said about the new Switch 2;
Nintendo Switch 2 plays both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games. Certain Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. Details will be shared on the Nintendo website at a later date.
**Nintendo Switch Online members can continue using the service on Nintendo Switch 2.
Nintendo Switch Online is not supported in your region.
The company is schedule to officially launch the Switch 2 on April 2, 2025, which I expect the company to provide more details about the new gaming device.
Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and Google have partnered to bring Google Pay to Saudi Arabia in 2025 through the mada payment system. This move supports SAMA’s Vision 2030 goals by boosting digital payments and reducing cash reliance. Google Pay will offer secure and convenient transactions in stores, apps, and online.
In a bid to expand offerings of digital payment solutions, #SAMA and Google sign an agreement to avail Google Pay in #SaudiArabia during 2025.https://t.co/NQUfQyRSPO pic.twitter.com/iPhn67pOiE

The agreement will allow Android users to pay using their Android phones instead of using their MADA card, just like how iOS users uses Apple pay (on their iphone).
If you watched the first 3 season on Netflix, this feels like a continuation but on a time gap, since Wilson Fisk hinted that Matt Murdock / Daredevil, stopped being a “vigilante” or being Daredevil.
It also looks like the cast from the Netflix’ Daredevil are all back and reprised their role; Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Franklin “Foggy” Nelson, Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk / Kingpin, and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/Punisher.

READ: ABS-CBN’s statement on House bills seeking to grant the media company a broadcast franchise. pic.twitter.com/Fxw80OyDZP
— ABS-CBN News (@ABSCBNNews) January 7, 2025
Here’s the full text below;
While we were not aware of Rep. Joey Salceda’s filing of a bill to grant a broadcast franchise to ABS-CBN today, we are deeply grateful for his support and belief in ABS-CBN’s contributions and mission to serve the Filipino public.
We would also like to express our sincerest thanks to Reps. Gabriel Bordado Jr., Arlene Brosas, France Castro, Raoul Manuel, Johnny Pimentel, and Rufus Rodriguez, who have previously filed similar bills.
Albay Rep. Joey Salceda has filed House Bill 11252, which seek to renew the franchise of ABS-CBN, almost 5 years since the House of Representatives under the Duterte administration revoked the media giant’s bid to renew its franchise.

— Rappler (@rapplerdotcom) January 7, 2025
The bill states;
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), during House deliberations on the ABS-CBN franchise in the previous Congress, certified that the franchise grantee did not violate ownership restrictions and did not have pending tax liabilities.
The non-renewal of the franchise, however, cost some 11,000 direct jobs. This representation also argued that the information asymmetries that resulted from the loss of an information source caused thousands of new COVID-19 infections during the critical 2020 period.
Prior to the rejection of the franchise renewal, some 36% of Filipinos derived their news and entertainment from the channel. ABS-CBN’s extensive regional network reach was also the source for news and updates on impending disasters, making the channel crucial then to disaster risk reduction strategies at the local level.
Given the merits of renewing the franchise, as well as the clarifications made by government agencies over certain allegations against the grantee, this representation urges Congress to reconsider the non-renewal of the franchise by the previous Congress.
It remains to be seen if the current House of Representatives under Marcos Jr. Admin will grant ABS-CBN to renew its franchise.

The Warriors will have a 2 games homestand against the Kings this Monday and Miami on Wednesday, then it will be a 4 road games against Detroit, Indiana, Toronto and Minnesota. They can win at least 3 and at most 5 of their next 6 games.
This was supposed to be a revenge game by the Warriors after the Cavs gave them one of their worst loss early in the season but it looks like little has changes, since the Cavs gave the Warriors another beating.
Unlike the first game, it was a competitive first half with an 8-point lead by the Cavs at the start of the 3rd qtr. Then Cleveland went on a 20 to 5 run creating a 22-points lead and basically ending the game with still 7:43 mins time left in the 3rd.
