I’d like for someone in media to specifically make him say what he’s trying to say and then call him a fucking idiot to his face

Elle Duncan kept it real on Bomani’s podcast about what the real crises for women in sports are but instead people want to focus on transgender talking points because it’s a nonsense culture war topic

A description of life in America with our current leader

Remember when a bunch of economists and finance professionals were telling people he would be terrible for our economy and then 70+ million people said “nah I got a good feeling about this” Where’s that old fashioned economic anxiety when you need it?

It is surprising that there is not widespread public outrage among Americans regarding this issue. The majority of the funds will be allocated to shareholders, leaving little to no benefit for the lower-level employees. And will the prices come down for you, who paid the tariffs?

I’ve been screening our documentary with organizing communities in the South. So far, the organizers mention data centers first at every single event. From racial justice orgs to old school activists who don’t usually think about tech policy. This has legs.

But also: If I’m a corporate leader, why would I tolerate my employees being sock puppets for OpenAI and Anthropic—with their own multibillion-dollar financial incentives— in this way? Why would I tolerate this level of infiltration, espionage and sabotage?

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

AI is our version of Tony pushing too hard without thinking of the negatives and ultimately creating Ultron

The people who were screeching about small government have laid the groundwork for everyone to be constantly surveilled just so we can make sure people seeking abortions can be harassed and criminalized

This is really frustrating because religion could be a personal relationship with whatever deity you chose to worship. Instead it determines how almost EVERYTHING important in America works. Christianity, in particular, is the main culprit.

'“I saw my state senator[...] and I ran over to him and said, ‘What would happen to a woman with an ectopic pregnancy if this bill passes?’ And he had no idea,” she said. “That was the moment where I realized I couldn’t help him understand. I just needed to replace him.”' apple.news/ANMsuEZ3oQGC...

Strange. I thought the purpose of the three branches of government was to keep checks and balances in place. I think my civics teachers from high school owe me an explanation.

Are there any other MLB teams that feel like trying to give the Dodgers another WS ring?

Everyone being a little too comfortable with the surveillance state is a big factor in this hysteria. It’s a sports version of McCarthyism.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2d ago

the obsession with trans women in sports is, apart from the abject bigotry, a symptom of how we take amateur sports participation way too seriously in this country.

Of COURSE Aaron Rodgers was on the PMS talking crazy again. I really wish he would fade off into some drug den in a remote part of the world and leave us alone.

It’s always fun when they tell us this readily available information after it’s most useful. If they closed that many accounts, it was well known within that company and they held onto the information for a reason.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

I’m not sure about Rutschman offensively. I like the trade in theory but I’m gonna take a wait and see approach.

Christians should be banned from playing sports. Jesus provides them with additional strength, which gives them unfair advantage.

Imagine eavesdropping on a bullpen conversation. I’m picturing some of the most toxic rhetoric known to man and a bunch of guys giggling about it with sunflowers seed shells strewn around the ground.

Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · 2d ago

The whole Mariners' pen believes Babe Ruth didn't exist. Kinda want all MLB players to believe this and make the owners agree to it in next CBA

This is a mix of hysteria over nothing and our youth sports culture that makes every parent with money think their kid is destined to be a professional or high level college athlete. It’s just another place for people to funnel their hatred.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
