I give a lecture at UM every year on (+ other things) the process of integrating college football. The parallels here are exact. As today, conservatives deeply understood sports' role as a playground for ideology. They rigorously enforced color barriers knowing Black success would convey equality.

A forewarning that this one is difficult. But it’s a credit to Duncan Robinson and his family for telling it. They hope it’ll help others. And maybe it’ll be a good reminder that “we can all be a little less certain about knowing what someone is going through.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/761...

Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America. They're joy vampires for the kids themselves!

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/
A 1960s family living room in which a mom, dad and two kids are mesmerized by a cabinet-style TV. The image has been altered. The TV has an early 1990s VCR atop it. The TV screen is displaying a cross-sectioned human head with brains and spine on display. A huge fist has materialized in the room, with bloody spiked knuckle-dusters, smashing into the VCR. The oil painting over the sofa has been replaced with a pulp image of a male head, its cranium removed and replaced by a dome. Inside the dome is a red eight-segment VCR clock, displaying 12:00. The background in the painting is a tangle of cassette tape. The whole image's colors have been boosted, giving it an overexposed look.

Katie Nolan calls out Sophie Cunningham over trans athlete take: ‘You don’t really have critical thinking skills’
Sophie Cunningham is the latest sports star to take on the issue of trans athlete participation, leading to yet another politicized news cycle in the WNBA. The comments prompted supporters and counterprotesters to stage a demonstration over the issue in Seattle before a Storm-Fever game, and the Storm’s co-owner was suspended for confronting Cunningham’s supporters…

Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.

"I thought the joke was distasteful & unfortunate, & I think the way women are represented, it's a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats. Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior? It's not my responsibility."
