Insane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

I passed my dissertation defense! Not sure if I’m Dr. Heydari yet, or if that has to wait until I get the piece of paper in the mail in December. Some minor revisions to take place in August. Thank you all for your support and friendship along the way. I can believe this is real.

I wrote about how much Americans wagered on sports betting in 2025 and how it’s more than they spent on movies, art, museums and music combined. Read my article @fortunemagazine.bsky.social fortune.com/2026/07/26/g...

My favorite depiction of the Trojan Horse, and the earliest known version. I love the windows, like an airplane, and that the windows go up the neck too.

Michael McDowell is criminally underrated. This novel - the second I’ve read - is great for fans of Edward Gorey.

i have no idea how i got this but i should use it for something

Adoration is the lifting up of the heart and mind to God, asking nothing but to enjoy God's presence.

One of the key structural differences between the Republican and Democratic parties is that the GOP establishment is held captive by their base, and the Democrat establishment loathes, fears, belittles, and tries to ignore theirs.

I consider this a perfect movie, one of the best romances ever filmed, and a pure joy from start to finish.

Because I can also hear Sarita's gorgeous raspy voice when I think of this movie

“[Pyramus] draws his sword, and plunges it into his body, And, dying, draws it out, warm from the wound. As he lay there on the ground, the spouting blood Leaped high, just as a pipe sends water spurting Through a small hissing opening, when broken. …the fruit of the tree…turned crimson.”

Honestly it’s closer to Ovid that way. Those kids die BLEEDING. Ovid is the best.

loath to spread this but it has so many likes so: "black power" is a response to centuries of systemic oppression and inequity, a call to empower from disempowerment. "white power" is an expression of racial supremacy. thinking them the same because they share a word is how babies think

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

Jurassic Park is a perfect franchise because the question "why would they keep doing this" is answered by simply asking yourself if you would want to go see a dinosaur. Of course you would want to see a dinosaur.
