For my @xtramagazine.com column this month: "There are no trans women in the WNBA; there has never been an openly trans player in the WNBA... so it’s essentially impossible for a trans woman to play in the league or refute any of Cunningham’s statements." xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

The WNBA should have never let it come to this | Xtra Magazine

After Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham came out against trans women playing women’s sports, the league has allowed things to snowball

You ever think about the poor Alabama freshman kicker who came about 3 yards short of hitting a miracle 57 yard field goal to win the Iron Bowl and then got absolutely nailed with the truck stick on the ensuing return for a touchdown

Meta approved and profited from ads containing AI-generated child sexual abuse imagery. After WIRED asked about them, researchers found dozens more that were still live. Insane story scoop by the one and only @mattburgess1.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/meta-r...

Meta Ran Ads That Contained AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery

More than 50 offending image and video ads were published across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or Threads, according to Meta’s ad library data. Some ran as recently as this week.

I've seen a lot of things where people are like, "RFK is just promoting healthy eating," and it's amazing what branding can do, because as far as I've seen, the main dietary things that RFK has pushed are the importance of eating fast food fried in a particular animal fat and drinking raw milk.

I'm calling it: "Start smoking" is going to be mainstream MAHA / Republican health advice by 2028. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

There is no rigorous evidence that Gundry’s lectin-free diet works and may actually be harmful, according to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Gundry has also pushed questionable theories about other health topics too. In an episode on the popular Doctor Mike’s YouTube channel in defense of his diet, Gundry argued that smoking can actually make some people live longer. It finally took my pro-vaccine dad reading Gundry’s Wikipedia page—which includes Gundry’s claim in an abstract that mRNA Covid vaccines “dramatically increase” inflammation—for him to leave me alone on this topic. A Reuters report says that Gundry’s abstract, which also received an extensive correction, doesn’t contain “reliable evidence.” Conversely, research does show that Covid vaccines decrease inflammatory markers when people get a Covid infection.

Woman on a bus (reading from an article): Have you ever discussed your fantasies with your partner? Her friend: Like the one where I’m in a cottage by the sea completely on my own with a book and a cup of tea?

the whole 'nothing has gotten better' discourse is of course fucking stupid in a million ways, but I just wanted to note that average dog lifespan in the United States has increased by two years since 2000.

This century-old tradition dates back to the 1850s when a bishop's daughter first trained the birds to pull a hanging rope for lunch. IG: @maddy.lee.98 Bishop's Palace in Wells, Somerset, England
