Pᴜʀᴇ Dᴇᴀᴅ Gᴀᴍɪɴɢ@puredeadgaming.bsky.social · 18h agoFair play to Danny León, the Spanish Olympic skateboarder. This shot may never be eclipsed.
The narrative that should be getting pushed back on any athlete, male or female, when they make the bullshit argument of "I'm for protecting women's sports" needs to be "tell me about an instance where a trans person hurt women's sports?" There aren't any. It's just whiny assholes who say they do.
WNBA should stop waffling and stand up for their LGBTQ fans and players. It’s morally correct but also financially correct. Most who watch WNBA LIKE that its diverse and a bit funky. That’s the product. We like it. Stop chasing the “average” fan. Not every product is for every person.

I think they’re just deliberately trying to undermine the WNBA because it was making money and it was so popular and it was a counter to the NBA: this wholesome back-to-basics family-friendly game. And maybe some of this: current.fas.harvard.edu/stories/nobe...

The reflecting pool mess started funny but there's absolutely nothing funny about the DOJ securing an indictment of a man for touching a pond because the president made up a conspiracy theory about vandals that it needed to validate. That's totalitarian
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · last mo.Breaking news: A grand jury in D.C. has indicted David Hearn, a three-time Olympian, for allegedly vandalizing the newly refurbished Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. More details here:

The extent of Trump's destruction of Washington, D.C., is truly stunning. It's the ultimate metaphor. The algae-infested Reflecting Pool. The destroyed grass from the UFC event. The bulldozed East Wing grounds. "86 47" etched into the lawn near the Reflecting Pool. REUTERS/Aaron Schwartz

The refs aren't THE reason why the Knicks are losing. But here's the thing about it: If it was just the Spurs being white hot I'd throw up my arms, what are you going to do? Of it was just that and the Knicks failures, I'd be sad. But the refs being so obviously one sided is ENRAGING.

Oh wow, Clearwater did a similar study: "That study concluded Clearwater residents could save millions of dollars on their utility bills if the city formed its own utility." If cities and FL can do it, so can cities in NC. #ncpol

Paul@pawlbologna.bsky.social · 2mo agoI've worked in Democratic digital comms for a long time and pay attention to campaign metrics across platforms. Increasingly I'm seeing Dems who crosspost on X, Bluesky, and Threads get better engagement on Bluesky even with far fewer followers. Here's @jamestalarico.bsky.social's clip last night:
I know I'm a broken record, but Trump *not* releasing his taxes as he promised and the IRS *not* auditing his taxes every year and releasing the results like they have for every goddamn president for forty years is the actual scandal. This won't outlast his term and should be fought right now
Reuters Legal@legal.reuters.com · 2mo agoThe U.S. Justice Department's agreement with President Donald Trump to bar future audits into his or his family's past tax records will remain in place even as his weaponization fund has been put on hold, two sources familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
Hey NYT, if someone is blocking promotions of qualified women and minorities, that’s called racism, not “anti-diversity stance” It blows my mind that journalists still don’t know how to cover this administration.

CBS just dismantled the most important and popular news show in the history of television at the behest of a president who regularly sics the FBI on his critics. Here’s why some NYU kids complaining about Jonathan Haidt represents the greatest threat to free speech that our country faces.
