"But do you feel your bar is* too* safe for women? Without attracting a certain number of rapists, aren't you worried that it will simply be an echo chamber for anti-rape sentiment?"
Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:
I don't believe playing Spelling Bee makes you a transphobe.
Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 6d agoMy wife and I have a game where we try to invent the day’s grossest-sounding word on NYT Spelling Bee.
This is a crime against humanity, and the people responsible should be permanently removed from society.

Here's a thought: why don't the 30 independent businesses compete with one another to pay each worker how much they believe the worker is worth to their company? Then each worker could determine which offer best fits their needs and sign a contract on those terms? "Revenue sharing" is horseshit.
Evan Drellich@evandrellich.bsky.social · last wk.Major League Baseball says it wants to share revenues with players “50-50.”The union says that’s “misleading propaganda” and “deception.” The really big question at the heart of this: 50-50 … of what? How MLB wants to define revenue: www.nytimes.com/athletic/747...
No debate, no discussion, and as much respect as these people deserve. I can take lessons from this woman.
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 2w agoThis video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning
Shitposts may not be my favorite thing, but you gotta learn to recognize them if you want to spend any time on the Internet.
the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”
I love with someone terrible dies and the mood online is welcome to jazz brunch
i will not forget the men who downplayed the earlier allegations of abuse against platner and said accepting them was just the price we had to pay to gain control of the senate. i hope they feel like fucking assholes.
Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”

What better demonstration of English national pride than to get rid of flavor
If you don't think Republicans will use this as an excuse to: 1. Be extra racist to Black girls, and 2. Look at the private parts of children, then you don't know Republicans.
Nancy Armour@nrarmour.bsky.social · last mo.The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant
I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be [redacted]
Nick Rollins@treerol.bsky.social · 6mo agoYou want ICE to go away? Make it very clear that if they violate your rights, they will pay with their lives. The fact that the Minnesota murderers were allowed to walk away unscathed just emboldens them.
KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.
"Sexual assault is funny" hasn't aged well. "Men being gay is funny" hasn't aged well. "That idiot woman thinks she can do a man's job!" hasn't aged well. "Racists are fucking morons" is timeless.
Nils Gilman@nilsgilman.bsky.social · last mo.Mel Brooks is an undoubted comic genius, and (as I acknowledged right away) made some of the comedies that have lasted best, like The Producers and Young Frankenstein. But as extensive discussions elsewhere in this thread have shown, even a then-masterpiece like Blazing Saddles struggles today.
How hard is it to say "The incumbents have been valuable members of the Democratic Party, and we wish them well in their future endeavors. We welcome the energy and conviction of the new challengers, and we look forward to working with them to take back Congress and hold Republicans accountable."
Erin Biba@erinbiba.bsky.social · last mo.Three people ousted incumbents in the NYC election (some only winning by very small margins and all with complexities). THREE. ONLY THREEEEEE PEOPLEEEE And the Dem establishment has lost its entire fucking mind. OVER THREE PEOPLE
This is going to be hilarious if progressives actually manage to take control of the party and chodes like this loudly proclaim how much they hate it while trying to "take over."
Jaime Harrison@jaimeharrison.bsky.social · last mo.I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
Brief rant: Yes it's cool that Brunson took less money so the Knicks could build a champion under the salary cap. But he shouldn't have *had* to. Salary caps are just tools billionaires use to suppress wages, and no one gets upset because the labor (pro athletes) make so much money. 1/5
Man, F the Knicks, but the statement below is 100% true.

"Gender critical" means the FBI should check their hard drive
As most of you know, I was given that nickname about 35 years ago. You bet your ass I've sung this line on more than one occasion.

I can't respond to this, so I'll just quote post it instead. This is a dogshit take, and this dingus should be ashamed to have said it in public.
Traxy@trax123.bsky.social · 4mo agoThe devices will continue working, you just can't purchase new ebooks on them. A company supporting a $200 piece of consumer electronics for over a decade with functionality and updates is already going above and beyond, and I hate Amazon.
