so, this is likely to be unpopular, but... i have stopped being a fan of the Chicago Cubs because of Pete Crow-Armstrong. this might seem odd, since he's likely to be the National League MVP this year.

Cishet middle aged white dude here, time for a new take… “It IS all men now. If you aren’t like that, you should be able to prove it. Annual certification from a board of non-cishet-man-people. Continuing education credits through the year. It stops when _all_ men pass five years in a row.”

shoulder replacement progress: out of sling for a couple of weeks. able to sleep in my bed for several hours now, but not a complete night yet, and not if my shoulder is aching. permission granted yesterday to play my travel guitar for 5-10 minutes as long as it doesn't hurt!

Jane Doe, you are remarkably brave. I wish you didn’t have to be. “I am Jane Doe.” Do not let them doxx Jane Doe. If you see their name, you did not. Do not punish the victim. I stand with survivors. You will not take away their power. We believe you.

substack.com/@samantha705.... Georgia schools really stink, in my opinion. Their treatment of this young woman is prime evidence. A trans woman is NOT biologically a man or boy. There is clearly documented scientific evidence to support this statement. It’s not as simple as X Y gonads and gametes.

So I want to talk about something that’s a side piece to the Roko’s Basilisk cult: This concept that “by putting them in proximity to women who like men and aren't scared of men“ If you really like men, then something you want is for them to realize that criticism is a form of care.

the purpose of SlutCon is to help men who are scared of women to start liking women, by putting them in proximity to women who like men and aren't scared of men
I'm not attending or involved in any way, but this is very aligned to my own mission and I'm rooting for their success

If we must have capitalism, then we must have a quasi-Biblical Jubilee every fifty years, where we put all the monopoly money and all the houses and hotels and properties back in the box and deal them back out to reestablish equal initial conditions. It is a VERY DULL game otherwise.

Danish physicist Lene Hau slowed light to 38 mph in 1999 using ultracold sodium atoms & electromagnetically induced transparency. A second "coupling" laser made the atom cloud transparent; light's energy transferred into the atoms' quantum state, dragging its speed down without breaking relativity.

It’s hard to overstate just how great a social evil the new ubiquity of sports betting has become. Companies like Draft Kings, Fanduel, and all the others are a cancer, preying on addicts and seeking new addicts. It also threatens (and is already undermining) the integrity of sport itself.

Data science helps determine who receives betting incentives, but the company has resisted using similar technology to protect gamblers at risk of addiction.

I feel like we are so used to living in a time of madness that we can't grasp just how insane the Kennedy Center dispute is. Trump took something that was running just fine and destroyed it because he couldn't put his name next to the murdered president whose memorial it is. That's completely nuts.

This is where the right thrives. They love situations where the other party cannot respond publicly. It's why they target schools and make wild accusations against teachers and administrators. Privacy laws prevent them from adequately responding or setting the record straight.
