the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

I love #pico8 from @lexaloffle.bsky.social. I run it on a custom arcade cab, a wall-mounted console, my steam deck, and my PC. But the one thing that really annoys me is keeping them all running the latest version. The app can't grab updates, & since the binaries aren't public, I can't script it.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party. This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Agreed. This whole problem can be helped significantly if publishers were just explicit about what can and cannot happen to their review copies, and denying future copies to reviewers who ignore their rules. Just like movie screeners in the DVD era. Review copies shouldn't be owned by reviewers.

Comparison of Cost of Boardgames - In AU, Flip 7 is 28 AU, That's about 20 USD. Actual cost of Flip7 in US. 7.99. You want reviewers to be pure and buy their own copies. WHO GETS TO BUY?

Sounds cathartic. But honestly, I hope we don't. Instead, I hope crews silently and unceremoniously scrub it into dumpsters. Not a minute more air. And I hope we ALL mandate signing a sweeping Presidential Powers Reform Bill into law as a true single-issue vote in both 2026 and 2028. Never Again

In three years, all the Trump wording on govt buildings will be thrown in a giant fire. We will literally have a big bonfire on national TV…. And ceremonially destroy any memory of the Trump presidency And replace his photo on the “walk of fame” in WH with two huge Cankles
