Against all odds, with an HHS that has defunded mRNA research programs, the FDA just approved the first mRNA flu vaccine
There is a player on the LA Queens, Brittany Apgar, who has a limb difference and traveled back to Illinois from receiving her first ever batting prosthetic *today* and is 3-for-3 in her first game playing with one. Incredibly cool.

Hegseth is as allergic to strategic planning and weapons management as he is to proper bench press form, I see. Also, I'm repeatedly struck by how much he looks like Gavin Newsom.

Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it
At risk of summoning the discourse monster; a WoW narrative thing I think about a lot is that there are clear signs of the team grappling with the abuse and corporate corruption at Blizz. Bastion, early Dragonflight, and Undermine all had them. But I think there’s a tendency to rush to “fixed.” 1/

Not only was she loudly right about everything and reviled for it, in 2017 O'Connor donated 30 years worth of clothes and makeup to trans girls in Ireland.

all my friends should be unemployed and have all the time in the world while also mysteriously having enough money to live comfortably
Even nominally progressive men are seemingly certain in the idea that average men can outperform professional women in sports and it’s just an asinine position. The idea that we have to segregate sports fandoms by gender is asinine.
“I don’t think we should compare women to boys & men, but the professional women would lose to amateur boys.” Fuck off. I will gladly stand by my belief that (1) comparison isn’t inherently bad and (2) a pro women’s team would wash teen boys. Have you WATCHED the average high school game? They SUCK
I would imagine trans people are tired of being content, debates, publicity, fodder, and launch pads for conservative careers. Questions like this don’t factor in their humanity first, it’s another way to talk around them.

Full quote on Natalie Nakase’s answer to being asked about what she thinks about regarding the ongoing Sophie Cunningham/trans-athletes debate that's swept across the WNBA - kenzo fukuda on x "Im all about women, little girls deserving to play & that includes trans women...im all about inclusivity"
It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough
Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d agoPeople still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.
Tangential to that last thing, it's important to know what your own Name is. Whenever I think about that, I think about that comic where Wonder Woman asks Superman and Batman their names using the lasso of truth and Superman says Clark Kent, Kal-El and Batman says Batman. Who are you to you?
Somewhere else online I saw someone say the fae once asked them for their name and they gave a false one and two different people chastised them for breaking the law. If those people aren't fae, they're fantastically naive. Not telling the fae your real name is like fae 101.
![Q: Natalie, I know you don't have the [Indiana] Fever again in the regular season, but coming out of the break, one of the big news stories has been Sophie Cunningham and the protests for her and protests against her, they had a national televised game today, and Cheryl Reave talks to her.
It's just a conversation. I'm wondering, just what do you think about it? Do you think that's good for the league? Does it detract from the basketball? Is it just noise? I'm just wondering what your opinion is.
A: Thank you for that question. I think just in terms of how I'm seeing it is- I could answer with, like for me, sports is about belonging. It's about inclusivity. It's about allowing everyone to be their authentic self.
You know, I'm big on that just because I have been criticized for my height, for my ethnicity. I've been in those: "You shouldn't belong here" [conversations] many times, and for me, I don't want that space, especially Golden State, to ever feel like that. So I'm all about women, little girls deserving to play, and that includes trans women. So I'm all about inclusivity.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gxx7xoc6nkciavo2cb4lead6/bafkreicvgan5sfszvez5af24pbxqfzu6p7eh3lxjevg2pyq3lkypjrwtyy)
