Seattle gets new women's sports bar in Capitol Hill
What's happening: Pitch the Baby had its soft opening on Capitol Hill last month and is now in full swing, serving up craft cocktails and Mexican-inspired pub fare in Capitol Hill.
The big picture: When Rough & Tumble Pub opened in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood in 2022, it was one of the first bars in the country to focus on women's sports.
Now, there are more than a dozen such bars around the country, with several more expected to be up and running by the end of the year.
Zoom in: Pitch the Baby took over the space on 19th Avenue East that once was home to Kingfish Cafe (R.I.P). More recently, the corner spot housed Rocket Taco, which moved across the street.
What they're saying: "Our goal is to create an inclusive environment that celebrates athletic excellence across the board, providing a welcoming space for all sports fans to come together," co-owner Anais Custer told Eater Seattle earlier this year.
That means that while the bar will prioritize women's sports — including Seattle Storm and Reign games — it will also show major men's sporting events, such as World Cup matches.
If you go: The menu is the brainchild of co-owner Monica Dimas, the chef whose past projects included Little Neon Taco and Tortas Condesa.
The space includes plenty of booths and three large TVs — perfect for watching a game, but not so overpowering that you can't carry on other conversations.
If you're wanting to ditch the screens entirely, you can check out the owners' sister restaurant next door, Condesa, which serves a more expansive food menu (and has a special kids playroom).

The Best Brands For Silver Jewellery, From Gemstone Rings To Chunky Hoops
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. A word to honeyed golds, gleaming bronzes and glowing rose golds: the great jewellery trend pendulum has swung once more — and it's silver's turn in the spotlight. With all things Y2K making a comeback — jelly sandals, bootcut jeans and bubble skirts, to name a few — the silver renaissance is hardly surprising. 2025's silver jewellery is a far cry from the cheap, easily tarnished pieces of our youth. Gone are the mood rings that turn your fingers green, the rhinestone-encrusted pendants, and the bend-at-first-wear hoop earrings. Whatever your jewellery vibe — fine and dainty or bold and chunky, boho glam or gunmetal grunge — the brands ahead are creating pieces that will last. Click through to meet the top labels on our list serving up the best silver jewellery on the market. Pupari Brighton-based brand Pupari is our go-to for unique, whimsical jewellery. From joyful animal motifs to tongue-in-cheek anatomical designs, you can be sure that your piece will be one of a kind — not least because every item is handmade to order in 100% recycled sterling silver. Monica Vinader Shop This Monica Vinader really brings together the very best of the jewellery world: a commitment to ethical sourcing and sustainability, quality materials in the form of recycled sterling silver and gold vermeil, and beautiful contemporary designs. Highlights include the hammered Siren collection, the brand's use of gemstones, and pendant necklaces. Daisy London Whatever you're after, you'll probably find it at Daisy London. This UK-based brand's silver collection is extensive, spanning all your jewellery basics and including every key trend you can think of — from moon, star and astrology iconography to Grecian-inspired sculpture, and delicate shell motifs to gemstone pieces, just to name a few. Catbird Shop This NYC-based Catbird has become the fashion set's go-to destination for fine, dainty jewellery. On the silver front, think barely-there chains, teeny-tiny pendants, ultra-thin stacking rings and delicate, engravable lockets and charms. Catbird also has its fingers firmly on the pulse, collaborating with musicians and actors like Phoebe Bridgers, Laufey and Jenny Slate, and trending TV shows like The Summer I Turned Pretty (as fans would know, it's here that Jeremy brought Belly the infamous engagement ring — the Diamond Fizz Sparkler). PDPAOLA Barcelona-based brand PDPAOLA was founded in 2015 by siblings Paola and Humbert Sasplugas with the intention of designing jewellery that transcends fleeting trends. The designers are inspired by everything from space to the natural world, creating pieces that are all about the small details. That stretches from the bold and statement-making to the delicate and dainty — from minimal, modern shapes and chunky sculptural silhouettes, to cascading, constellation-like diamonds and playful charm pendants (tiny rocketship necklace, anyone?). Mejuri Mejuri is known and loved for its gold jewellery, but its silver designs are equally desirable. From classic silver earrings and rings to the brand's iconic croissant designs, shop here if you're looking to build up your silver collection with timeless, elegant pieces that can be worn every day. Edge of Ember From initial pendants to personalised birthstone necklaces, Edge of Ember has all your loved ones' gifts covered. Even better, their prices start at £30. Astrid & Miyu Most of Astrid & Miyu's offerings are rhodium-plated metals (brass or sterling silver), but you can't beat the brand's affordability. Many pieces come in under £100, and the brand is our go-to for building a budget-friendly earring stack. Alighieri Shop This Alighieri's pieces aren't just jewellery, they're wearable works of art. Molten, organic-shaped rings, pendants and bangles riff off the movement of water and fire, and are inspired by Greek mythology and human anatomy. Ray Jewels Shop This Ray Jewels Ali Star Ring BUY £145.00 Ray Jewels We fell for Ray Jewels after this video popped up on our For You Page, showing founder Sasha crafting the stunning Ali Star Ring. All the brand's rings are handmade to order in the UK using 100% recycled sterling silver, meaning each piece is totally unique. Otiumberg Otiumberg is a family business with a strong focus on responsibility within the jewellery industry and doing away with fast fashion trends. It's also a great brand to bookmark for beautifully made silver chains (from fine to chunkier, open-link designs), all your pendant needs, and for cool, sculptural pieces you won't find anywhere else. Bar Jewellery Shop This Bar Jewellery Dune Bracelet BUY £198.00 Bar Jewellery Bar Jewellery's designs are always unique, like pieces of modern art in their own right that strike the balance between innovation and wearability.

Music Legend Claps Back at Piers Morgan Over Beyoncé Comments
Music Legend Claps Back at Piers Morgan Over Beyoncé Comments originally appeared on Parade. Dionne Warwick isn't tolerating Piers Morgan's criticism of Beyoncé. After Beyoncé participated in a Marilyn Monroe-inspired ad campaign for Levi's, Morgan accused the singer of "cultural appropriation." "Very disappointed to see Beyoncé culturally appropriate Marilyn Monroe in her new Levi's ad." he wrote on X. The Levi's campaign shows the Cowboy Carter singer styled with platinum blonde curls, winged eyeliner, and red lipstick, channeling Monroe's old Hollywood aesthetic. Some pointed out similarities to Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle ad, which also promotes a pair of classic American blue jeans. Shortly after Morgan's comments, Warwick took to X to defend the pop star. "Getting involved in women's business again, I see…" the music legend wrote. Fans immediately took to the replies to react to Warwick's unexpected defense of Beyoncé "It's giving obsessed" one fan wrote about Morgan alongside a crying emoji, to which Warwick replied, "Correct." "Whack him again" said another commenter. "Dionne we are always living for your Twitter clapback." added a third. Some members of the Beyhive were surprised by Warwick's comment due to her previous criticism of the singer. In 2019, the hitmaker sparked controversy when she said Beyoncé had yet to reach icon status. "I have an admiration for Beyoncé Knowles, Carter now. Watching her growth has been quite refreshing. It's wonderful to see how she's been able to create what and who she wanted to be and who she is… very proud of that, I really am," Warwick told Essence at the time. "Now sustaining and becoming a big icon that Gladys Knight, or Patti LaBelle, or Johnny Mathis, or Frank Sinatra, or Sammy Davis Jr. is? I doubt that," Warwick continued. "I love her to death and can appreciate her talent. But that iconic status? It's a long road [ahead]." After her comments went viral, Warwick quickly clarified what she really meant. "It takes a long time to reach and achieve iconic status," Warwick said. "That's not to say that Beyoncé isn't well on her way. She is a gifted performer. That was a reach from Essence."

La Liga 2025-26 🇪🇸: five French players to watch this season 🔎
Like Ligue 1 and the Premier League, La Liga is back this weekend. To mark the occasion, OneFootball presents the five French players to keep a close eye on this season in Spain! 5️⃣ Thomas Lemar - Girona After seven seasons with Atlético Madrid, Thomas Lemar is set to experience a new club. On loan to Girona from the Madrid outfit, Lemar will attempt to revive a career that has been stalled for several months. And what better way to do so than with an ambitious team hoping to bounce back from a mediocre 2024-25 season with an ambitious team? 4️⃣ Antoine Griezmann - Atlético Madrid While he was rumored to be close to joining the MLS, Antoine Griezmann has finally extended his contract with Atlético Madrid until 2027. The 2018 World Cup winner is delaying his departure to the United States, with the ultimate goal of winning his first Liga title with Los Colchoneros. So, is 2025-26 the season he finally achieves it, or is it just another year? 3️⃣ Eduardo Camavinga - Real Madrid What if Xabi Alonso's arrival on the Real Madrid bench allows Eduardo Camavinga to finally become an undisputed starter in Madrid? Since joining in 2021, the former Rennes player has oscillated between being a starter and a substitute in big games. The start of a new era with Xabi Alonso could be beneficial for him. One to watch! 2️⃣ Jules Koundé - FC Barcelona As the only French player in FC Barcelona's squad, Jules Koundé is, by default, the only French champion of Spain for the 2025-26 season! Like Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Pedri, and co., Jules Koundé will have to confirm his exceptional 2024-25 season this year. 1️⃣ Kylian Mbappé - Real Madrid Was Kylian Mbappé's first year at Real Madrid a success or a failure? The debate has been raging since the end of last season! As the current Golden Boot winner, the French captain will be expected to retain his title as the top scorer in European leagues, but also to help Real Madrid win titles again! If Mbappé wants to be the star of Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid, the new number 10 cannot afford to miss this 2025-26 season... 📸 Buda Mendes - 2025 Getty Images This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
