Philly Sports & nonsense. Fuck ICE & Bill James

Maybe I’m obtuse, but giving Sophie Cunningham and her awful views oxygen on a consistent basis is pretty much exactly what she wants. It should be obvious to anybody that she is kicking off her right wing grifter career and constantly covering her is doing her a massive fucking favor

on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...

This rhetoric is ideal for listeners who believe trans women are an issue that they're supposed to care about, but don't actually have any real-world experience with them. The hypothetical trans girl who's supposedly causing all this trouble in the WNBA is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can't fight back, she can't disprove anyone's assumptions, and she can't garner sympathy when she's the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people. Her monstrousness, the need to "protect young girls in a locker room" from her, gives them permission to enact policies that in reality only harm the anonymous girls, cis and trans, who want to play sports without the invasive scrutiny of gender-obsessed adults.

In terms of the actual roster it is Johnson->Kilian Backhus->Raley Rincones->Arraez Those are real upgrades and makes the bullpen deep enough to help with the SP. The positioning stuff is going to be real weird.

Its a C+ for me. Like the additions, really think they needed to add another SP & a better 1B or OF option. But they’re a better team than they were 24 hours later
