No composer transitions from deeply poignant, anxious longing to mockingly brash, belligerent sarcasm in a single measure like Dimitri Shostakovich. ##NowPlaying Shostakovich: Under Stalin’s Shadow – Symphonies Nos. 5; 8 & 9 - Andris Nelsons conducting the BSO open.spotify.com/album/0XvgGc...

There are tons of examples - all of males displacing females. That it is a women's rights issue is made crystal clear by the fact that there are no males being displaced by female athletes. Best of luck to you with making peace with reality one day.

This article is important, but is missing one key sentence and citation: The Constitution of the United States of America grants the president no authority in the conduct of elections.
Article 1, Section 4

1. The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

Quite something to see Bluesky's ongoing pile-ons of anyone who dares speak out in support of maintaining integrity & fairness in women/girls' sports. Off the charts misogyny is alive and well everywhere you look. Thanks to Matt Calkins for speaking up on this topic.
"In short: The separation is strictly for the sake of girls and women. So surely one can see why, to many, allowing biological males to compete against females undermines this division."

Perhaps one day you will be mature enough to understand that reasonable people have differing opinions across various topics and do not need to be in agreement 100% of the time in order to agree on a particular issue. Until then, good luck out there, kiddo.

Took some time to hook up my old stereo receiver and wired speakers to a cheap record player in order to listen to my mom's classical record collection, and holy cow - SO WORTH IT. The speakers are 35 years old and still sound wonderful. Analog ftw.

The cover depicts black and white drawings of violins and bows from a variety of angles. The album's four compositions, written in burgundy text, lay asymmetrically amongst the drawings. 

The four compositions are:

Tchaikovsky: Serenade for Strings
Borodin: Nocturne for Strings
Vaughn Williams: Fantasia on Greensleeves
Barber: Adagio for Strings

Cenk is a pile of excrement, as is his nephew, Hasan.
Bar on entering the United Kingdom

In 2026, Uygur and his nephew Hasan Piker were banned from entering the United Kingdom because "their presence in the U.K. may not be conducive to the public good".[156][157][158] Before the Home Office intervened, they were to speak at the SXSW London festival and the Oxford Union.[159][160][161] However, both contend they are banned for criticizing Israel.[162][163]

You are in a cult, son.
Logical Fallacies:

 1 What Is a Thought-Terminating Cliché?

A thought-terminating cliché (also called a semantic stop-sign, thought-stopper, or bumper-sticker logic) is a short, catchy phrase-often dressed up as folk wisdom or common sense-that’s used to end discussion and patch over cognitive dissonance instead of addressing the actual argument. The phrase compresses a complex issue into something brief, reductive, and easy to repeat. It feels satisfying, but it doesn’t do the work of reasoning. When used to dismiss dissent, avoid evidence, or justify a position without argument, it functions as both a manipulation tactic and a logical fallacy: the idea is treated as true because it sounds right, not because it’s been tested.

So the cliché isn’t always “bad” in isolation-“agree to disagree” can be a polite way to end a fruitless debate. It becomes thought-terminating when it’s used to avoid engaging with substance: to silence criticism, defend dogma, or spare someone the discomfort of real reflection.

NC is not nearly as bad as other southern states. Republicans have done a lot of damage since 2012, but this is really a purple state, with a diverse population & economy. Dems have held the Governor's office all but 4 years since 1993. It's worth sticking around to fight for a return to sanity imo.
Screenshot from Wikipedia showing list of recent NC Governors and their respective terms in office:

Jim Hunt January 9, 1993 - January 6, 2001
(term-limited)	Democratic

Mike Easley	January 6, 2001 - January 10, 2009
(term-limited) 	Democratic

Bev Perdue January 10, 2009 - January 5, 2013
(did not run) 	Democratic

Pat McCrory	January 5, 2013 - January 1, 2017
(lost election) 	Republican

Roy Cooper January 1, 2017 - January 1, 2025
(term-limited) 	Democratic

Josh Stein January 1, 2025 - Incumbent	Democratic

Basically yes -that result is accomplished by some combo of the two mechanisms. Regardless, it's the only reason I own a hair dryer!
"Triggering a 'Histamine Dump'

One primary theory behind hot water's effectiveness involves a sudden 'histamine dump'. The intense heat causes mast cells in the skin to release their entire stores of histamine.

This massive release briefly overwhelms the nerve endings responsible for the itching sensation, providing a period of blissful, albeit temporary, relief from the relentless urge to scratch.
Overwhelming Nerve Receptors

Beyond histamine, the sheer intensity of the hot water application can simply overwhelm the skin's nerve endings. These nerves are barraged with so many pain and heat signals that the itch signals are momentarily blocked.

It's a form of counter-irritation, where one sensation (heat/pain) temporarily overrides another (itch), providing a brief respite from the discomfort caused by the urushiol oil."
