But if trans girls are "cheating" by playing women's sports, what else are the sneaky trans people cheating about. They're also coming for Title IX. They don't care about women in sports. They want women out of sports. Please, I am begging you, stop falling for this shit.

Before the NCAA capitulated to this nonsense and banned trans women from competing on women's sports teams, the head of the NCAA told a Senate panel that he knew of less than 10 athletes competing in sports in the NCAA. What are we fucking doing here, people. It's a non-issue.

Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.

11. In essence, Trump asked a majority of voters to trade democracy and the rule of law for an IOU, and to the shock and horror of the civilized world, a majority of voters accepted.

Thoughts on the Nations league game that's apparently not teams representing their Nations but just teams of different Nations wearing their Nations jerseys and singing their Nations anthems and then saying afterwards how proud they are to represent their respective Nations.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

@conormckn.bsky.social Unsure if you check this, but reading your article about Rory’s diplomacy towards Trump, how about asking him a golf-related question on the subject? From what he has seen, how does Trump’s game compare to other amateurs who have continued to be club champions into their 70s?

This is really excellent. Very touching insights from Floyd on growing up Mennonite, his genuine struggle to understand what his parents and siblings seemed to innately accept (being born a sinner), and a real grace and lack of judgment from him about their differences. He’s such a great interview.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Olivia Rodrigo is a talented, wonderful young woman. I sense a torch being passed from Dolly his week. #daisychainfields www.tiktok.com/t/ZTD3BDpsC/
Rodrigo wore a soft pink embroidered mini-dress, which was custom-made for her by the Palestinian fashion brand Nöl Collective. With a pleated trim scoop neckline and fluttering cap sleeves, the dress fell into a fitted bodice and thigh-length skirt. The dress also features Palestinian Tatreez embroidery—a centuries-old art form passed down from mother to daughter. The design includes hand-embroidered birds, which are symbols of freedom and movement, and daisy chain links.

This is a complete distraction. Ireland cannot build a nuclear power plant fast enough to matter. Making a decision to do so would excuse punting on all the wind and solar things it can and must do. This is a lobby project of the tech industry to have something to say when building data centres.

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

Just canceled my DashPass and sent this email to DoorDash. I encourage you to do the same if you support D.C. home rule. press@doordash.com and ir@doordash.com
Hello,

I’m writing to let you know that I just canceled my DashPass because of DoorDash’s disgraceful campaign against D.C. home rule.

DoorDash is urging Congress to nullify a new D.C. law imposing a 20 percent tax on food-delivery services—not merely by overturning that law, but by prohibiting the District from enacting any new tax without prior congressional approval. That is an extraordinarily sweeping assault on D.C.’s right to govern itself and an odious insult to the District’s residents.

I am especially disgusted by DoorDash’s public claim that it is somehow defending D.C. residents while actively seeking to strip us of our right to govern ourselves through our own democratically elected lawmakers. Please do not pretend that disenfranchising District residents is an act undertaken on our behalf.

I intend to publicize DoorDash’s attack on home rule as widely as possible and urge everyone I know to boycott the company.

Shame on you.

Another one was back in 1990 (pre email) exchanging information with Aer Lingus head office back in Dublin about project issues with Kuwait Airways. As the replies came out on a teletype printer that the KU staff would see, we communicated sensitive stuff in (very basic) Irish. Pre Google Translate!

Working for British Airways in Heathrow in 1994 on their cargo system. One of the users of that system was the Ministry of Defense. When the Whitehall brass visited for project meetings, I (with my Irish accent) was sent to a different floor. Mind you, the IRA were mortar bombing LHR at the time.
