TSA famously has bottom-tier job satisfaction (low pay, monotonous, no career advancement, everybody hates having to deal with you, plus you know it's probably pointless) and i think taking away the chairs might be the last straw

Lowkey excellent thing about Wikipedia: accurately describing the extremism and lies of right-wingers because its sole concern is provable truth, while the media tiptoes around accurately describing whats happening to avoid appearing “biased” against the extremists and liars

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

I found this quote from Riley Gaines to be really striking. Straight-up conceding that the purpose of trans sports bans is to normalize transphobia, and to give "ordinary" people "more cover" expressing it in public. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/anti-trans...

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

Jill Tucker

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

And at the watch party you will ask the organizer if he's from Cape Verde. He will say yes, from Praia. And you'll say oh! I lived there for two years. I was a teacher. And he will ask, "What's your name?" You will tell him and he will say,
"You were my teacher."
CABO VERDE

Jill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h
And across 30+ years and 6,000 miles you will hug a now man who tried to find you and remembered the songs you taught him and his classmates and he will apologize for how badly behaved they all were. And you will laugh and try not to cry and gape in wonder at at this crazy world.

Jill Tucker
@jilltucker
X.com
You will remember how much you love the World Cup. And what the Peace Corps meant to you. What those students, 40 to a class with no glass on the windows, meant to you.

Jill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h
Ivan, the grown man with a touch of grey in his beard, will tell you later he has struggled to describe what it meant to him to meet again - that he shared our photo with classmates.
And when he returns from watching the Cabo Verde game, we will try to find the words together.

Jill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h And then you read that the US
House of Representatives will vote a day before that game on an amendment to eliminate the Peace Corps, which costs 1/6 the price of the Tomahawk missiles the US used in the war on Iran.

Jill Tucker @jilltucker •20h And you wonder: How much is a magical world worth?

we're often too reverent in talking about athletes as gods when they are clearly talented-but-flawed men but he literally baptized this baby and blessed him with legendary soccer talent, feels like pretty solid evidence he's some sort of saint or perhaps a minor deity if polytheism is real

This is Baby. She is celebrating her first ever International Corgi Day today. Personally thinks she should be celebrated every day, but this is a good start. 14/10 (IG: cooperandbaby_corgi)

a tiny corgi puppy sits atop a wood table and tilts her head dramatically at the camera. she resembles a fluffy toasted marshmallow. her ears are a little rounded at the points, and her markings make it look like she’s wearing two perfectly matched white ankle socks. she’s surrounded by lush greenery in the background.

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

a golden retriever puppy on a bright pink rope leash prances through some tall grass. he’s wearing a brightly patterned bandana around his neck and is carrying a miniature six-stripe pride flag in his mouth. his front right paw is raised mid-stride, like he’s ready to hop into a pride parade at any second.

the IOC already tried using SRY testing at the 1996 Olympics and then abandoned it before the 2000 Olympics because led to a bunch of "false positives" among cis female athletes who had no idea they were born with various intersex conditions

yes No government funding for USA Olympic athletes Only the top few athletes in many sports get funding from their federations, and they still need to pick up sponsorships to make a good living. Many potential Olympians quit bc normie jobs make more money. And you don't really hear about it on NBC!

this is so funny because normally people love the idea of "moderate." like they'll poll people who have a ton of fringe views and they'll self-identify as "moderate" or "center." if people are against the general broad concept of "moderate", they are absolutely furious
