Happy early December, y'all! I hope you have a fun weekend ahead. [ICYMI, we ran our annual Tartan post this week!](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-tartan-and-plaid-12-2022/)

This news was a relief, and this is an interesting piece: [Brittney Griner's fierce WNBA family threw everything it had into getting her home](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/brennan/2022/12/09/brittney-griner-fierce-wnba-family-worked-release-russian-prison/10863583002/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \[USA Today\]
