Good. Message received. Keep it up because it's still not close to being enough.

People casually using genAI instead of their own creativity or capacity for thought genuinely feels like a huge values difference now, on a very fundamental level. We do not hold the same things to be important or worthwhile.

There isn't a single trans woman in the WNBA. In 2024, the NCAA estimated fewer than 10 of its 510,000 athletes were trans—about 0.002%, or 1 in 51,000. Yet trans athletes are a defining culture war issue of the 2026 midterms. It's a manufactured panic, writes @angryblacklady.blacksky.app.

The Panic Over Trans Athletes is Fake: Opinion

Republicans have manufactured a crisis in women’s sports, just in time for the midterm elections. Democrats should find the courage to defend trans children—or at the very least, leave them alone.

They are most integrated with the political projects of Donald Trump and Javier Millei. I'm sure it's all above board.

Don't think we should be surprised by that specific self delusion and we should really be prepared for it now.

Is a Senator trying to frame the prosecutor to cover up the president's crimes against the country an impeachable offense? Seems like an easy case of "it damn well should be" to me.

True. And a headline-worthy example of telling, and defending, the truth in our deeply cynical times.

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

The thing about the college sports issue is that every conference or league rule change, and even new government policy, are all designed to skirt the elephant in the room: the "student-athletes" who actually attract millions of dollars are not paid.

Exceptional solidarity from ASU hockey players who have demanded their coach be placed on leave for essentially overseeing the murder of their teammate and have disputed the university’s findings. www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

Seven Arizona State men’s hockey players asked the university’s president to place the Sun Devils’ coaching staff on administrative leave pending further investigation into the workout that left sophomore transfer Matthew Mayich on life support.

In a 26-page letter sent to ASU president Michael Crow on Monday and obtained by The Athletic, the players disputed numerous findings from the university’s initial review of the Aug. 20 workout, writing that Mayich did not receive water and was provided inadequate medical care after his collapse.

The well-being of the American people is directly hitched to what happens to Trump and his administration after they are out of power (Musk too).

Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

Underestimate @RahmEmanuel at your own risk.
He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.
