AOC being single is like “the olsen twins are turning 18” for guys who faced a grievance hearing over aggressive sexual behavior towards women in their DSA chapter

Saw the Woke Odyssey, AKA The Oppenheimer prequel. It was pretty okay? A solid "good". Very well made, but annoying in the way that many Nolan movies are annoying. Maybe I'll see the greatness when I watch it like nine more times.

Oh yeah, it's gonna get even fucking dumber. For the record, there are exactly ZERO trans women players in the WNBA and ZERO trans athletes in Division 1 women's basketball. This is just a made-up culture war issue by conservatives who don't give a fuck about the "fairness" of women's sports.

After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA. My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027. I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions. I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices. I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for. My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles. See you at training camp. https://enesfreedom.com

This might be Graham's funeral, but it's Trump's show. There's one aspect of Teddy Roosevelt that Trump truly does embody. As Alice Longsworth Roosevelt famously said: "My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening."

Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."

companies are sourcing millions of printed books for AI labs that scan them for training data, then destroy them. printed books are more valuable because they're free of AI slop, and AI labs know destroying them is an "optics problem." www.404media.co/ai-companies...

After targeting trans sports under Title IX for the past 4 years, the Heritage Foundation is now turning to destroying it for all women. It wants to replace women's varsity sports with yoga and "protect women's fertility" by ending many athletic opportunities. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This administration, supposedly representing the “real” salt of the earth Americans, is filled with people like this who have no idea how Americans actually live. For context, each Taco Bell outlet serves about 900 people PER DAY and there are over 300 Taco Bells in Michigan.

This summer's outbreak of cyclosporiasis has been largely concentrated in southeastern Michigan, where more than 4,300 cases have been reported and at least 100 people have been hospitalized as of Thursday. ฿ philip lewis • @Phil_Lewis_ • 7h Investigators have linked shredded iceberg lettuce supplied to Taco Bell restaurants by Taylor Farms as a potential source of contamination in the cyclosporiasis outbreak, according to a report washingtonpost.com/health/2026/07... 3:39 PM • 7/16/26 • 283K Views

The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump Just Did More Damage to Elections Than China

His speech was a mashup of charges that aren’t supported by the documents he released.
