Ultimately, this whole line of argument is misogynistic and suggests women can never compete with men and just undergoing transition gives random Joe Blow a massive advantage against trained athletes. Why do the “protect women” people in this debate ignore the misogyny of their argument? 🤔

"She went from a top 500 male swimmer to a top 10 female swimmer when she transitioned" no one talks about the fact that she kept training the whole time and maybe she could have also been a top 10 male swimmer if she had wanted that, it's not like she started taking hormones and sitting around

the entire environment in the US for media and commentary and research is just a fucking black hole. i guess this is what happens after decades of tech psyops on social media, destruction of activists, publications, movements, media, etc. sad

In fact, Latin America was one of the VERY FIRST THINGS i told her about at the end of 2024. Because Latin America is one of the VERY FIRST THINGS i tell ANYONE about. So, more than a year and half later, we get Jenny, The Expert in Tech Fascism in Latin America.

Surprise surprise, after spending *hours* explaining to Jenny Cohn how venture capitalists are engaging with Latin America, it is yet another of her favorite topics I told her about, and she is not crediting my work. Absolutely insane to see entire lines of my work over years get covered up 😭

Yup. Or just stronger. Honestly, they can't help selves! I had a undergrad bf who was 6'2" challenge me to an arm wrestle in the pub, in front of all the friends. I was like NO! No arm wrestling! But I got goaded into it, and so ofc I had to beat him. He never forgave me. 🫠

This kind. Many such cases.

Well, in addition to making sure Trump was not held accountable for undermining what was left of Democracy, Biden and the Democrats spent years denying that the Covid pandemic is ongoing, even after Covid booted Biden himself off the campaign trail and ended his reelection bid. Walsh is a bit player

Not really a fan, but the chud isn’t wrong. Mind you, he’s complicit in the COVID denialism that ultimately propelled Trump back to power and made RFK Jr mainstream along with the other political and media figures who made the issue disappear.

When Joe Walsh says this about you…

No one ever invades Russia in the winter on purpose. The problem is that the Russians never stopped fighting just because it was winter. #Deadpan

Chef Kennedy🐸🏳️‍🌈@kennedytcooper.bsky.social · 4d ago

You actually have to cut historical leaders a little slack for always invading Russia in the winter time because near as I can tell it is always winter there

Yes, Dean, you do have to be an anti-immigrant racist and as dumb as a brush to argue this. You are not an economist. This is not ‘basic economics’. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Men talking out their asses with confidence: a day ending in y.

Dean Brown@deanfb.bsky.social · last wk.

You don’t have to be anti-immigrant to recognize basic economics. Adding people faster than we can build homes, expand infrastructure, and provide services drives up costs and strains supply. Sustainable immigration requires sustainable growth.

I remember how Trump made sure Florida was in the list to receive PPE before New York in Trump’s first term, at the beginning of the pandemic, despite the fact that NY had many more cases and people. Why? Because Trump hated Andrew Cuomo and loved Ron DeSantis.

David Roberts@volts.wtf · last wk.

This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?

This is the sick, self fulfilling prophecy of Republicans. They campaign telling their base that government doesn’t work, then take office and prove it.

Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"

Once upon a time, I was ridiculed for saying Jimmy Dore and Cenk Uygur were the same guy, and today Cenk comes out as a Fauci-hating lab leak conspiracy theorist.

The very worst thing I can say about Vance is that he’s definitely a “James David” and not a “JD” or even a “Jim.” “Hillbilly Elegy” would have been a great title for a Jerry West biography. Vance squandered it.

Chef Kennedy🐸🏳️‍🌈@kennedytcooper.bsky.social · last wk.

There's something that always bothers me about calling "JD" Vance "JD". "JD" is the sort of nickname you give to a guy who smokes two packs of Marlboro reds for lunch every day. JD is a guy who drinks pure moonshine and pisses out Diet Mountain Dew. James David Vance is not a JD.

The only way technology can ever increase the power of labor, as opposed to the power of the boss, is if labor and not capital control the means of production.

I have to agree with this. I would also like to offer a hypothesis for discussion: gambling, like other behavior labeled addictive, is a method for coping with stress/anxiety. Sports gambling is particularly convenient now, and people feel like it’s easy.

Elana Levin@levin.bsky.social · last wk.

I have so many theories about why people are so attracted to sports gambling, but since I’ve never gambled and I don’t watch sports, I’m probably the last person who should opine on the matter. That said though, I think understanding why people enjoy it is a key part in addressing it.

The government has declared people terrorists for being outraged about the things police do. Can you really expect more than “muted protest” when people trying to get ICE out of their county were convicted of terrorism charges? The political mistake Democrats made was siding with cops in 2021.

People don’t care because we live in a political economy which actively argues that caring about the police killing Black people is the most grievous mistake of the recent political past.
