It makes me absolutely livid. One of my best friends worked for NYU Langone and was ferrying med supplies in his car back and forth to ground zero that day. And I was a congressional intern who had to evacuate that day—literally that morning was supposed to be in the Capitol building doing tours. 🤬

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

Number 5 on @espn.com Sports Center top 10 this morning is the Cubs’ Ian Happ making a pretty great catch in the bottom of the 2nd and the Marlins batter Marsee is ruled out. So how come when Cedanne Rafaela of the @redsox.com makes an identical catch a few weeks ago, the batter is safe?!? 😤

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way

Screenshot from the article in the quoted post, saying "Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people.

“The general pattern seems to be that with wealth and rising power, you become less engaged with the needs of others and less burdened by the needs of social relationships,” Piff said. “Taking candy from children might be the least of our worries but it’s emblematic of the tendency to prioritise one’s own needs over those of others.”

And, dear readers, there was a large revision to March payroll numbers announced today. I questioned the BLS data four months ago. 😬 I went to school at night for a few years to get a MBA in asset management so I know some stuff, but ANYONE could recognize when things are way off.

From @justinwolfers.bsky.social

That's a big kick in the guts.

Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k.

Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k).

Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.

As we recall the trauma caused by COVID in 2020, we should not forget COVID continues to harm. Many still suffer from Long COVID, people who mask are often harassed, and we haven’t scaled clean air infrastructure. If we truly acknowledge past harms, we should be working to create a better future.
