Requiring AM radio is actually good, it's the FEMA mandated public notification backstop. You all sound like anti regulation lunatics melting down about the 13 dollars in parts needed to install backup cameras. This isn't anti-EV agitprop, you have brainworms

There's never talk about "fairness" when some schools have fencing teams and pools and computer labs and some schools hold classes in trailers. Never about how 1 in 9 schoolchildren live in poverty. But it's always a "fairness" issue when a school has a trans athlete or too many black students.

I think overhauling federal hiring practices and procedures is a do-or-die step for the next administration. You cannot rebuild the federal government without rebuilding the federal workforce, and USAJobs et al is just not fit for purpose

Men’s leagues would literally never stand for this happening to their athletes in their arenas and there’s so much to unpack about the W, its origin story, how our society views women and this current political moment in this idiot-bigot not incurring a lifetime ban.

learning that the WNBA news cycle about trans people involves zero trans people feels like coming accross a cartoon dust cloud that dissipates to reveal there's only one guy in it kicking his own ass

on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...

This rhetoric is ideal for listeners who believe trans women are an issue that they're supposed to care about, but don't actually have any real-world experience with them. The hypothetical trans girl who's supposedly causing all this trouble in the WNBA is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can't fight back, she can't disprove anyone's assumptions, and she can't garner sympathy when she's the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people. Her monstrousness, the need to "protect young girls in a locker room" from her, gives them permission to enact policies that in reality only harm the anonymous girls, cis and trans, who want to play sports without the invasive scrutiny of gender-obsessed adults.

The Fever org, head coach, & star player have all spent a month saying how sick they are of the internet crap and to please pay attention to the basketball. Over the last week they have played great only to have this hijack the news. Cap issues aside, I don't see Sophie on this team next year.

My advice for dating is simple and foolproof: get a dog. Take the dog out to places. Meet people who like dogs. If you don't end up in a relationship after that, you still have a dog which is the most important part anyway.

One of my proudest academic achievements was the 95/100 on my Hamlet plot test without ever having read the play. Teacher said it wasn't even possible to pass it. I read nothing about it, scraped by on context clues.

Seerat's piece here is very good. I have been very impressed recently with how she has written and spoken about the "hurricane discourse" (her term) around Caitlin. I think it helps that she clearly loves basketball and watching CC play. Anyway, the WNBA players rock and deserve better leadership.

Y’know, we give a lot of shit to Nintendo for not rereleasing their first party games, but in my opinion the worst at this by far recently is Sony, because why the fuck is there no way to officially play the original Ratchet and Clank, Infamous, or God of War games without digging out the PS3
