Ten years ago today I went and watched the Rio 2016 opening ceremony high in a favela overlooking the Maracanã, as the first Olympics to come to South America kicked off:
An Opening Ceremony Up in the Hills -- OpEd
(ATR) ATR Bureau Chief Aaron Bauer escaped the pomp of the Opening Ceremony by going to one of Rio's favelas.

Uhhhh I feel like this is premature given he’s still up 5 points and is winning e day voting by 20 points and most of Dearborn and Detroit haven’t dropped e day voting
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 13h agoLooks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe
None of this is ever attempted to be understood by anti trans campaigners, or most sport federations btw. The IOC actually did work to understand this but let federations take their own tailor made approach and they just used it to politically harm trans athletes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sydney Bauer@sydney-bauer.com · 18h agoWhen trans people bristled at policies that required time to be on hormones before being able to join elite competition it was because: -time on HRT was arbitrary -testosterone level achieved was arbitrary -maintaining testosterone levels continually is arbitrary -no one else had these restrictions

“Protecting youth women’s sports” is fundamentally an issue about denying trans kids access to medical care btw. Because if a trans girl goes natal through puberty they’re a biological male. But if they don’t they’ve had proper puberty and then cannot be a biological male according to their logic.
There has never been to my knowledge an athlete to come out as trans and then transfer leagues after immediately starting hormones. There have been plenty of athletes who have delayed starting hormones to continue their current athletic careers in leagues that don’t match who they are.
I need people to understand that for the last half decade that there’s been an ecosystem of trans folks in sports media who have worked unpaid to serve as experts for context, sources and educators on what it’s like for trans athletes, in hopes of potential bylines and contacts. That’s dried up.
Sydney Bauer@sydney-bauer.com · 19h agoI hate sounding like a conspiracy person but there’s a reason that this Sophie Cunningham thing is on like day 7 of discourse and how there’s absolutely very little trans staff writers driving the news coverage of it.

West Indies-Pakistan day 3 is wonderful stuff because we're still in the oscillation between "we are so back" and "its more over than it ever has been" and that is a wonderful place to be for everyone on earth besides myself.
"The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people."

If the mets were in on Crisantes for Holmes that would have been wonderful, but I kind of understand why the Mets were wary about medicals?
MLB Trade Rumors@mlbtraderumors.bsky.social · yesterdayMitch Voit; Jefferson Rojas and Sammy Stafura saving the Binghamton Rumble Ponies season just like we all said in spring training.
David sterns is so washed man get this man out of my front office
Roger Cormier@themetsnewsletter.com · 2d agoJoel Sherman tweeted that the Mets will take on $2 million of Luke Weaver's contract this year and $6 million of it next year.
Feel like holmes is going to be dealt the last 20 minutes before the deadline as he goes to whatever team didn’t get the starting pitching they wanted and hopefully overpays
Clay Travis needs high school boys to beat wnba stars so bad because he needs “proof” that trans women actually are men and this a threat to women’s sports and that men’s sports is hierarchically better.
Sonicscrewdriv4@sonicscrewdriv4.bsky.social · 2d agoWhat sort of delusional BS is this??? www.mediaite.com/media/news/c...
Either sterns has overplayed his hands so significantly or the pirates actually decided to pay for a rental
Jeff Passan Bot@jeffpassanbot.bsky.social · 2d agoThe Pirates are acquiring Luke Weaver from the Mets, a source tells ESPN.
David sterns must pay for his crimes of not even trying to resign Alonso
Jeff Passan Bot@jeffpassanbot.bsky.social · 2d agoBREAKING: The Boston Red Sox are acquiring three-time All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, sources tell ESPN.
Every day the javy Baez trade gets more and more vindicated!
Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · 2d agojust woke up to the Jays are buying at the deadline and Pete Crow-Armstrong thinks Babe Ruth was made-up
Actually it’s about how school aged amateur sports participation is the only form of class advancement for many Americans.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2d agothe 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.
there is a strain of lefty discourse where you can’t come to any unflattering conclusions about the populace—those must be explained away by how they are being acted upon by capital—but I think you’ll understand things better if you understand capital can also exploit weaknesses it didn’t create
Working on a grad paper on the relationship between institutional trust and political polarization and this paper I’ve been reading was very interesting.
I just know there’s some people out there that follow me and absolutely find my posts terrible and insufferable and I’m dying to know what they think of me
