You will see Bill Maher in the first seconds of this video, but watch it anyway. Anand makes a very compelling argument that homelessness in cities is caused by the very people who most complain about homelessness in cities: monsters who drove their own children out of their homes.

Can't say it enough: it's NOT MY JOB to prove to bigots I don't deserve their bigotry. Fuck those guys. Fuck those impotent idiots and their desperate, babybrain need to feel superior. They're fools and weaklings, and idiot tools for the worst people on Earth, PERPETUALLY. Fuck 'em.

This is what baseball is now, though. There's very little incentive to try to win more than 85 games. Then you're 4 coin flips away from the title. If you don't win, blame the Dodgers and keep cashing those checks.

"Same-sex bathrooms" might be the absolute dumbest, right-wing propaganda-coded phrase in history. And Democrats are denying the humanity of vulnerable people to try to appeal to THEM?

Not really sure where a bunch of liberals got the idea that they can’t win without throwing trans people in the garbage, but they’re stupid and cruel and wrong. If you want a human sacrifice so damned bad put gavin newsom in the wicker man

Everyone should be saying this with their full chest. An assault on anyone's rights is an assault on all our rights. Or, trans rights are human rights.

Am I the only one who finds it a little weird when straight people see a creep like this (or like the religious nutjobs) and go "Huh, he must be gay"? That is some serious homophobic nonsense and it needs to stop.

Weird take. Cap is the owners' dream scenario. Even if it comes with a floor, there is NO WAY it amounts to more money overall for the players.

Sorry if nobody thinks this is funny but me, but I needed this laugh today.

Two posts in succession. Post 1 says "She said sometimes one would pee and it was nice because it was warm." Post 2 says "Can we point to a peer? I can't think of anyone." The word "peer" could be thought of as "pee-er."

Theoretically and empirically, you are a chode. Note that this isn't name-calling; it's science.

And then once you get to the playoffs, you're 4 coin flips away from winning the whole thing. There's pretty much no reason for a team to strive for any more than 85 wins.

Stop giving cheap billionaires enormous amounts of money in exchange for a bad product. That's it. That's the answer. If they can profit off a good team, or profit more off a bad team, they're going to choose the latter.

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:

Joe Sheehan: This trade is a microcosm of the real problem MLB has faced for decades. It’s not about haves and have-nots, but wants and want-nots. The Dodgers, and teams like them, want to win more than teams like the Tigers do, so they go out and acquire the Tigers’ best pitcher. MLB has built an entire labor strategy and media campaign around demonizing the Dodgers, when in fact it’s the Tigers who are wrecking baseball. You have to be through the looking glass to think the sport’s problem is the team that’s trying to win rather than the team that’s trading Tarik Skubal while sitting 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot.

As an aside, I'm not trying to be confrontational on the "promotion" point. I would not call his post "actively promoting" the game. But either way I think that is a semantic argument that is not something worth arguing over. The post is the post, whatever you call it.

010

Nick Rollins @treerol.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

In regards to the doubling down: my comments were intended only in response to the initial post and the reaction to that post. I did say that his follow-up posts were bad, and I still think they were. The entirety of the interaction was bad on his part. The initial post - in my opinion - was not.

010

Nick Rollins @treerol.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

You're right - this goes beyond "playing." Slightly beyond. I still think "telling other people you have fun playing Spelling Bee" falls short. It is not my intention - and definitely not my place - to tell trans people and other allies how to think. I speak for myself only. Your line is your own.

Nick Rollins @treerol.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Also: Ken's follow-up posts to that OP were bad. I don't think he's a bad person, but those responses were not good.

Nick Rollins @treerol.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

If doing a NYT puzzle makes you a transphobe, using these services certainly would, right? I applaud people who make every effort to make only ethical consumption choices. I guess the point of all this, though, is to caution about ascribing negative intentions to people who don't have them.

Nick Rollins @treerol.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Anyway, I probably am a bad ally. I use Spotify regularly (although I refuse to pay for it), which is bad on all sorts of levels. Apropos to this conversation, they give Joe Rogan absurd amounts of money. Neflix gives Dave Chappelle absurd amounts of money (though I also don't give them money).

110

Nick Rollins @treerol.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

But I'll say, for example, it's more likely that the purchase of an iPhone contributed more money toward anti-trans causes than visiting the Spelling Bee page on a daily basis. Though I'll admit this math is extraordinarily opaque and complicated, so it's just a feeling.

120

Nick Rollins @treerol.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

I'll say that if we are making these sorts of stringent judgments, we've got to be extremely careful what we do consume. Is there, for example, a piece of Internet-capable technology that hasn't contributed to the funding of the Project 2025 trans genocide in some way? I truly don't know.

120

Nick Rollins @treerol.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

I don't know where that line is, and it's not my intent with this thread to try to find out where, specifically, it lies. However, I do think doing the NYT crossword falls short of that line. If that makes me a bad ally, that is unfortunate.

220

Nick Rollins @treerol.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

There's a legitimate question as to what level of support for a company or person constitutes transphobia, when weighed against how much that company or person contributes to anti-trans sentiment. The New York Times is a bad actor on this front, and I personally choose not to support them.

130

Nick Rollins @treerol.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

I don't believe playing Spelling Bee makes you a transphobe.

This is a crime against humanity, and the people responsible should be permanently removed from society.

As is the salary cap. Pay the players what they're worth. Anything less is unacceptable.

Nick Rollins @treerol.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Here's a thought: why don't the 30 independent businesses compete with one another to pay each worker how much they believe the worker is worth to their company? Then each worker could determine which offer best fits their needs and sign a contract on those terms? "Revenue sharing" is horseshit.
