A’ja Wilson Is Going for GOAT Status: “I Want to Prove That I’m the Best”

Published by Sam Flores

Even off the court, Wilson reigns. Her first Nike shoe, the A’One, sold out within minutes in 2025. Wilson took its sister, the Nike A’Two, for a European tour this spring. She’s walking carpets and trying out voice acting; her appearance on Hot Ones went viral after she stopped to pray for deliverance from the spicy wings. Becky Hammon, who’s been coaching the Aces since 2022, has seen the change in her star player. “She went from a young girl to a woman” over the last few years, says Hammon. “Her work ethic, her groundedness—she just has all the pieces. She holds the locker room accountable, and she can only do that when she’s holding herself to the highest standard.” Wilson’s height and regal bearing make her an ideal conduit for bold fashion; you’d be hard-pressed to find another athlete who can wear head-to-toe Rick Owens as credibly as she does. On the trip for the Nike A’Two, Wilson posed in Jacquemus outside of the Louvre Pyramid by I.M. Pei. Though Wilson has been in …

Published by Daniella Wilson

It is the weekend of the haves and the have-nots at the domestic box office. In the “haves” column are holdovers GOAT, from Sony Pictures Animation, and Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi‘s Wuthering Heights, which are in a close race for bragging rights to top the chart with $13 million to $15 million. Wuthering Heights prevailed in winning the Valentine’s Day/President’s Day frame a week ago with a three-day weekend gross of $32.8 million and $37.5 million for the four days in North America. Overseas, it also did better than expected in launching to $45.5 million from more than 75 markets for a global start of $83 million. Warners is predicting Wuthering Heights will top GOAT at the global box office again to finish Sunday with a worldwide total in the $150 million range. In the U.S., it is expected to earn $14 million; ditto for GOAT, which opened to $35 million domestically for the four days last weekend in North America and $26 million for the three days. GOAT marks another win for Sony Animation, home of the …

My World Is Not the World: How Goat Yoga Expanded My Perspective

My World Is Not the World: How Goat Yoga Expanded My Perspective

Published by Jenni Sidey

My goddaughter Nerys likes goats. I like yoga. Therefore, goat yoga was inevitable. On January 3, I went with Nerys and her friend Ellory to the Los Angeles Arboretum. Our group of 20 gathered indoors, unrolling our mats in a bright, echo-y room that felt halfway between a yoga studio and a rec center about to host a kids’ birthday party. The goats were already there when we arrived, milling around inside their pen, watching us with calm interest. Nerys and Ellory pressed up against the fence, immediately enchanted. I took a more cautious inventory of the space, mentally noting exits and wondering about the absorbency of my yoga mat. Before we began, the instructors explained a few things. When we knelt, did downward dog, or lay on our stomachs, the goats might interpret these shapes as invitations to play. They might climb on us. This was not an unfortunate side effect. It was the point. Goat yoga, we were told, was good for the goats. It socialized them. It exposed them to humans in …
