Not necessarily, but they are started down the football path so early, and all other parts of school are so de-emphasized, especially in college, that they haven't got much of a chance. Plus: head injuries There are exceptions, but...

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

How the fuck are any of us functional. We’re 1% of the population, give or take, and we have Great Depression employment numbers
But Democrats in Republican-leaning districts are under pressure to respond. One Democratic strategist estimated that fully half of the GOP’s messaging this year has been around transgender issues — about the same time they’ve given the economy, data centers, immigration and crime put together.

Remember when they kicked an entire girl’s softball team out of the championship game because a player posted a private Snapchat where she was flipping off the camera? It’s funny how they never worry about ruining girl’s futures.

Goldman points out (among other things), that Butch was killed in 1908, and bifocals had been around since at least 1784. He also points out many other things that were happening in 1908, but I can't put my hand on the exact quote at the moment...

Brenda @operabrendaslp.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
William Goldman has an interesting section on this in the novel of The Princess Bride. He's talking about Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid (which he also wrote), & his producer (?) is objecting to Butch's line, "I have vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals," thinking it's anachronistic.

Seems in line with the Texas "culture": Post a meme of your coach slugging a woman one week (and laugh at how hilarious that is) Piss on an opponent when he's down this week Wonder what "highjinks" they'll get up to next week (maybe nothing, since it's a bye, on the other hand...)

The answer I'd *like* to hear from a Dem candidate when asked about sports and trans folks: "You know, there are the same number of dragons dying of fentanyl overdose as there are trans women trying to play professional sports. Can you ask a real question?"

Had my first colonoscopy when they still used a partial anesthesia, so you were drowsy but awake. Uncomfortable, but not that bad. Male friend had the same procedure a short time later, "that is the worst pain I've ever had!" Me: "clearly never had menstrual cramps, have you?"

Technically, there are a few seats that are "partial view", as in you're essentially sitting behind a post and can only see the singers on certain parts of the stage... But, never mind, great idea, and a good tag line!

You can trace the decline of American society through DraftKings/FanDuel ads. In 2015 when they first infected sports, fans were so mad they stopped. In 2026 every league & network gets a cut, so fans are still mad but we're forced to suffer. The customer is always wrong, now.

This is straight out of Handmaids Tale. A high school trying to force girls to disclose the dates and lengths of their menstrual cycle. Don’t comply? You lose a grade. There’s absolutely no reason a school needs this information other than to exert control over our bodies.

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?
