My favorite part of this is how Jack Smith is so utterly baffled by Schmitt's bonkers conspiracy theory that, when Klobuchar is like "the Iowa Hawkeyes, right?", his response is just "uh, I just wanted to see Caitlin Clark play Maryland."

It’s really great that Eric Schmitt wasted everyone’s time because he can’t tell the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes, meanwhile people in Missouri are struggling to pay for utilities, gas, groceries, housing, and child care.

There is something so frustrating about watching basically every staff sports writer completely mangle this story about transphobia in the WNBA, while so many trans journalists who would do a great job (and who have been pitching stories about this!) are struggling to get hired and make ends meet.

Remembering how during the Claudine Gay scandal, one of its biggest promoters of the story was Bill Ackman. Then someone uncovered that Ackman's own wife was a professor alleged to have committed much more serious academic misconduct than Gay and then nothing happened to her.

I HATE it when people say “the culture wars” or “the discourse” are ruining the WNBA. BE PRECISE. Right-wing fascists are introducing misogyny and bigotry through their narratives and demands, in an effort to delegitimize an organization full of popular black women who vocally champion inclusivity.

Similarly, if a random citizen at your daughter's soccer game wanted to check the genitals of the kids playing, you would call the fucking cops, and rightly so. Stop debating these people and call them out for what they are -- creepy perverts, freaky busybodies and utter hypocrites.

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

Meanwhile, the market has - Dozens of confirmed early cases (the lab has zero) - Clusters within the market near animal stalls - traces of virus found in animal cages Leakers often cite "bayesian likelihood" but animal spillover is common while a novel virus leaking from a lab has never happened.

you have to read the elite panic over DSA as a function of the fact that basically any quasi-functional chapter of DSA can out-organize the establishment primarily because basically so much of American civil society has gone from mass-moblization to management (DSA is a return to mass mobilization)
