There is a player on the LA Queens, Brittany Apgar, who has a limb difference and traveled back to Illinois from receiving her first ever batting prosthetic *today* and is 3-for-3 in her first game playing with one. Incredibly cool.

Recently read a skeet on here that was like "It's theorized men are more vulnerable to LLMs/chatbots because women are more thoroughly socially conditioned to be instantly suspicious of fawning, complimentary, compliant attention," and. Thinkin' about that, tonight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtvI...

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

Hell yeah, good on BTS for not playing. "Separate but equal" is racism, Jim Crow, and more. The Grammys have always been problematic, and now they create "Asian pop" to keep BTS and others from sweeping pop categories? 😂😂😂
FedEx is the worst, but our local guy, Chris, is basically dog Jesus. Always has a biscuit in his pocket and a minute for a pet. Aki loves him and loses her shit when we see him out in the wild.
I am loathe to pick up on gendered tech convos … But if we’re gonna talk about women and what the would do with the “female gaze and AI” … We have to take about how women aren’t picking up certain AI is because it’s impossible to do teh female gaze for mass audience sans consent
Hey so remember book *burning?*
Steve Haley@niborris.bsky.social · 6d agoNo one who's just "digitizing" would buy up dozens of copies of the same book - they only need one. But these companies are buying up every instance they find, so no one else has it. That's not preservation, that's monopolization.
There is no good faith anti-trans sports lobby and never has been
Micah@rincewind.run · 7d agothere is no good faith anti-trans sports lobby and never has been it’s been a cynical wedge issue from day one for a group of people looking to replace gay marriage as a cultural weapon none of them have ever cared about women, women’s sports, or even sports

Victor Marx is a JOKE
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · last wk.Victor Marx's $7.5M/yr ministry pitches his exorcisms as the solution for homosexuality, murder, even low self-esteem. I reviewed 100+ hours of Marx's sermons and speaking gigs for an in-depth look at the demon hunter who wants to be Colorado's Governor. www.9news.com/article/news...

From @paulwaldman.bsky.social: “if the Iran war drags on and gas prices stay high, this could wind up being as decisive a campaign issue as Trump’s misbegotten tariffs, his parade of idiotic construction projects, his rampaging incompetence, or his boundless corruption.” Excellent Public Notice.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.New in PN: Why Trump deserves all the blame for high gas prices "No POTUS has ever deserved to be hoisted on the petard of gas prices more. That’s not only bc of how he weaponized the issue before, but bc unlike almost every other POTUS, he's actually responsible for where the price is right now."
I have no patience for the argument that anti-trans bigots care about protecting women and girls and women’s and girls’ sports. The conservative agenda is to destroy our autonomy and our equal opportunities. This is not a secret. It is the entire point.
Americans have more confidence in higher education than in big tech companies, and the gap is growing rather than shrinking. The higher ed-doomsday pundits need to get on board with the real vibe shift in public trust that is happening right now.
Mark Copelovitch@mcopelov.bsky.social · 2w agoI look forward to all the reports & coverage about all of the internal problems & mistakes of all of these other institutions, in the same way that universities are constantly blamed (& blaming themselves) for “declining trust.” “Compared to what?” news.gallup.com/poll/712436/...
red states are by and large more dependent on government funding than blue states and in a less politically broken world would be quite worried about this precedent! also, you know, throw it on the pile of impeachable offenses
