I don’t have much sympathy for Tom Cotton but will say in 2026 it is a much more shitty thing to do to someone. So many of my apps etc depend on my cell phone number. No longer just the annoyance of having to update your contacts with your new number, so many implications of a leaked cell no

If we’re all going to have to make choices like this eventually, and we all will, each of us should hope to one day find out we have this kind of moral clarity.

It's absolutely disgusting the type of people Cunningham attracts to the game and the abuse they shower on Black players. I really hope the Aces win on Thursday and make it her last game in the WNBA.

Out here in rural America there is real organizing and some strange bed fellows being made by anti flock normally non political people. And data centers. Both parties largely missing it. But there is something happening.

This was always going to be the next step. There are no trans players in the WNBA so instead they're going after cis women who are insufficiently feminine for them.

Type O-positive blood, the most commonly transfused type, is especially precarious, with the current inventory now below one day’s supply. As a result, the Red Cross has been forced to start limiting distributions of type O blood to individual hospitals. Platelet levels aren’t doing so hot either, with the organization experiencing an emergency platelet shortage.

This event is about celebrating America’s unmatched greatness after 250 years — which apparently doesn’t sit well with the friendless loser who wrote this bullshit clickbait headline.

UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat

The NAACP is urging Black athletes and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation”
NAACP Calls on Black Athletes & Fans to Withhold Athletic and Financial Support of Public Schools in States Attacking Black Voting Rights

The NAACP today is launching the “Out of Bounds” campaign, a national call for Black athletes, families, fans, alumni, and consumers to withhold athletic and financial support from public universities in states that have moved to limit, weaken, or erase Black voting representation in the wake of the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which gutted what was left of the Voting Rights Act The NAACP identified eight priority states — Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Georgia — and targeted flagship public athletic programs generating more than $100 million in annual revenue that continue to recruit Black athletes while their state governments dismantle the political power of Black communities.What these states have done is not a policy disagreement. It is a sprint to erase Black political power,” said Derrick Johnson, National President & CEO, NAACP. “These actions happened in days, in some cases in hours, of a Supreme Court ruling that gives extremist lawmakers a playbook to erode Black representation. The NAACP will not watch the same institutions that depend on Black athletic prowess to fill their stadiums and their bank accounts remain silent while their states strip Black communities of their voice. Out of Bounds is our answer: we are naming the contradiction, and we are calling on Black athletes, families, fans, and consumers to act on it. The same power that built these programs can be redirected. And it will be.”

The economic stakes of the campaign are significant. The flagship universities in the eight targeted states collectively generate billions of dollars in annual athletic revenue.

The hardest thing you’re gonna have to do as a white person in this moment, something that takes so much muscle from y’all that you may need strength training, is listen to Black people & accept direction from them. You must loosen your iron grip on your dominance of us to save our world.

This is very bad, since it looks like Trump's endorsements (he brought challengers to the White House, showered them with money) will mostly remove anti-gerrymandering officials in Indiana. Makes it more likely legislators in Southern states will fall in line.
