i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice
enough of this shit
You will, however, not be entirely safe from opinions about metal and ska

Ok but like… why would a moon factory need humanoid robots? What would *possibly* be optimally efficient about human form in a low g lunar environment?

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"
This is the best thing I’ve seen today

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

me and my brother were basically the biggest fans of Get Smart in the world in 1993
the popularity of Nick @ Nite was really funny because you’d be in high school in 2008 with friends who were longtime fans of The Golden Girls
this is a weird line to draw since the liberal position (correct) is that it's not reasonable to summarily execute people in international waters even if they're involved in drug trafficking and the conservative position is that you must do that even if you kill a bunch of innocent people too
The US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.
"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
You can see the very obvious throughline from “men could transition and easily dominate women’s sports” to “women’s sports are lesser and shouldn’t be taken seriously” to “women shouldn’t play sports” to “here are the acceptable life choices for women”
"It's about protecting women's sports which, by the way, I hate more than anything in the world."

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
* democratic socialist mayors are putting public safety first democrats are poised to begin internally discussing approaches to considering where public safety might someday rank
HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.
Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

Class act, and a great piece of political education. Hannah is such a fantastic communicator - we would be lucky to have her in the State Senate.
A message to Brian Heywood - gtfo of our district. A message to everyone else: progressive lawmakers should be able to make a CLEAR case for how government is materially delivering on lower costs & better lives for working people. 1/
There are some things I’d like Mayor Wilson to move more quickly and decisively on, sure, but watching this tone shift form in real time, and around actual clear policy decisions and implementation, is WILD
This story is fine, but the headline the Seattle Times chose implies that a new bus lane is forcing drivers to just "find a new" route to I-5. No, the engineering project actually includes a new route to I-5. Anything to make it look like a progressive mayor is causing chaos, I guess?
the actual success of the 'friendslop' genre i think at least partly comes down to just emulating the feeling of loading up a weird surrealist mod of half-life in 2001 and joining a random server for a few evenings and then never playing it again. the genre is just like... y2k internet mod scene.
"It’s unbelievable to subject kids to these kinds of invasive medical exams that have no basis in health or safety. One of my daughters is a rising fourth-grader, and she played a sport last year. Are you going to ask a fourth-grader to undergo this?” s/o @momsrising.org
