I am self-employed. I am doin' fine. I don't deal with egos. I am Joe the boss of my own body. So what the fuck do I have to work for you for? https://boxd.it/4Aed
There are no trans women in the WNBA. There are no trans women NCAA basketball players. Hell, who knows if there are even any trans girls playing HS basketball.
Did we ever find out if the A is for Asshole?
I love that Cat Power's response is so insane that it makes you overlook just how crazy the post is that she's replying to.
Cat Power is antivax
"i just learned something insane from a stranger. why doesn't everyone know about this" is a great style of post, right up there with "why is nobody talking about this" alongside a link to one of the biggest news outlets in the world talking about it. nobody does ignorant curiosity like us humans do
Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this
At the age of 46, have decided to strive toward becoming the World's Biggest Charli XCX fan. I'm starting from behind, so wish me luck
"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take
Went to one of AMC's Scream Unseen things, where you get an early screening of a horror film but don't know what it'll be, hoping against hope it'd be Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Trailers. Ads. Intro: "Hi, I'm Eli Roth—"

Folks I won’t tell you not to feel your feelings, but this is rage bait. He’s talking about expanding beyond politics into things like live sports.
Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

it's interesting how many men get satisfaction out of knowing that other men can beat elite female athletes. like ok, maybe the best high school boys team in the country can beat a WNBA team, but YOU can't
What sort of delusional BS is this??? www.mediaite.com/media/news/c...
i'm a subscriber to the verge but i think the written excerpt posted here is a little unfair here. "we have an open protocol we want anyone to be able to build on" isn't really the same as saying "we want nazis on here". most of his response is actually about their work on live events like sports
this is an interesting interview and if i were clipping it for social media i would have excerpted "We're still a place where we don't downrank links. We love sending traffic to people. We send two million clicks a day to publishers" rather than the part that'll just piss people off lol

That's what taxes are for, you absolute fucking numpties, you feckless, drizzly asses.
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
We’re also funding death squads but what’s really offensive is that somewhere out there a poor person might be able to eat

These XX/XY losers had an organized rally at Hollywood and Highland the night before our Hollywood Bowl show, it was loud and took up a lot of space but there were only like a hundred people there. Like many thousands more people paid to watch us play dnd than went to support this shit for free lol

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.
So many parallels: Advances followed by brutal backlashes. Hatred cloaked in concern about "fairness" and "undue influence" on children. Insistence that it's a medical/mental problem. Rage at cultural institutions that "promote a lifestyle." Invective about "special rights." Malevolent statehouses.
I have been thinking a lot lately about how so many of the "arguments" against trans rights are essentially the same as the various fake panics about gay people.
A good commissioner steps in now before every WNBA game becomes a rightwing performance space, like school board meetings were during peak CRT. You just have to throw the hammer down on this. Do not give them an inch.
riley gaines is at the minnesota lynx vs indiana fever game posing with people courtside as they line up for photos
Ryan Ruocco noting Cheryl Reeve's shirt and then video of Cheryl talking to Sophie Cunningham earlier
For non-WNBA watchers: The Minnesota Lynx are coached by Cheryl, and they are playing the Indiana Fever. The Fever have a transphobe on their team that has attracted a traveling circus of bigots, first to Portland, and now to Minnesota. Cheryl is doing what the WNBA as a corporation refuses to do.
Cheryl Reeve’s shirt today:
RIGHT: we're poisoning society to death so it can be replaced with one that exists only to enable our violent fantasies LEFT: we must strengthen society by expanding social services and expelling those who seek to kill it CENTER: so... the right gets what? nothing?? come on. let em kill it a little
Y'all need to be watching the Lynx-Fever WNBA game on ABC, shit is FRENETIC.
I wish Pauline Kael were around to say that she doesn't know anyone who saw Spider-Man and then make some sidelong comment about how all superhero movies are for homosexual men and then write that Zendaya's "fizzy pop nihilism" or something is the best thing in the film.
