feeling vindicated: my dad insisted it would be better if PWHL Detroit rolled out its name/logo for its inaugural season and I would point out that skipping the diagonal city name jersey would leave money on the table because people in Detroit love shit that says Detroit on it and look at this shit

boy that AI sure can do anything, what a marvel! say, I'm trying to remember a song from my youth, let's see what the old Google machine can do with these lyrics oh. well I just asked Duck Duck Go and they said it's "The Hammock" by Pure so who can say really
The lyrics you are remembering are from the classic playground chant and schoolyard rhyming song called "Down Down Baby" (also widely known as "Roller Coaster" or "Baby Born in London")

The exact stanza you are referring to is typically sung during hand clapping games and goes like this:

You crashed my bike, so I broke your nose. You said my Mama's better looking than your mama, who knows?Screenshot from Genius:
You stole my bike so I broke your nose 
You said my mom was better looking than your mom
Who knows?

Tumblr, once again, on the cutting edge of these issues
Tumblr post from eternalgirlscout:
A while ago I read an omegaverse fix where part of the premise was that they guy had like abnormally long and intense heats which as you can imagine was used for horny reasons. but it was a fairly grounded omegaverse setting as far as it goes and I could not stop thinking "he has pornworld endometriosis and needs to see an omega BGYN"

Megan Rapinoe has it all right
In their witch hunt for a few trans kids in the entire state who play school sports, I-638’s backers will drive thousands of girls out of sports because their parents cannot afford the necessary testing or refuse to submit their daughters to genital inspections.

That’s a feature, not a bug, of these laws. Preventing girls from playing sports is the whole point. Spaces that leave girls and women feeling empowered are the spaces they want to constrict—and then eliminate.

These policies make all girls and women less safe. They create new ways to question and control women and girls, and that affects all of usEven if I had not become a professional athlete, my life would have been dramatically different without the joys, friendships, and life lessons that came with playing sports. Every girl deserves to have that experience, and no girl deserves to be discriminated against. That’s why all girls, including trans girls, should be able to play with their classmates in the sports they love.

Girls of color are the first to be targeted and questioned about their bodies. We can all name Black and Brown athletes who’ve been harassed for how they look or how well they perform in their sport. Girls with short hair or low voices, girls who are taller or stronger, girls who don’t fit someone else’s expectation of femininity, will face further harassment and new demands to prove their eligibility by pulling down their pants.

Metro Times article:
 UAW slams pro-Stevens super PAC over ‘misleading’ campaign ads
The union says the ads distort its member-driven endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed and undermine its democratic process.
by Steve Neavling July 14, 2026The United Auto Workers on Monday accused a corporate-backed super PAC supporting U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens of misleading Michigan voters by using the union’s logo in campaign ads.

The UAW issued a cease-and-desist letter to A Stronger Michigan over the super PAC’s use of the union’s distinctive wheel logo in ads promoting a candidate who doesn’t have its endorsement, the union said in a statement shortly before 6:30 p.m.

ICE continues to prey on Detroit high schoolers www.freep.com/story/news/i...
The students, twin 18-year-old girls Alexka and Angely Jerez-Medina, were part of a group that traveled there for a summer job as contractors cleaning an Amazon warehouse in or around Buffalo, according to documents filed by their attorney in New York's Western District federal court.After being apprehended and detained in New York, the students were transferred to an ICE detention facility in El Paso, Texas, according to ICE's online detainee locator search.

They were detained with five other Michigan teens working the same job in Buffalo, some of whom were high school classmates, according to the court documents.This is not the first time students at Western International High School have been detained by ICE . There have been at least four other instances. In November 2025, Outlier Media and Chalkbeat Detroit reported on the arrest and detention of two 16-year-old Detroit cousins, both Western students. The following month, legislators urged the release of the cousins, in addition to two other students from Western who had been detained, some along with family members.
