There’s an interesting and nuanced conversation to be had about fairness in sports. Many athletic associations have guidelines in place that allow trans athletes to compete in a way that is as fair as possible to them and other competitors. Are they all perfect? Probably not, but having this conversation in the first place is the best way to ensure these associations can make competition as fair as possible to trans and cis athletes alike.

But of course this conversation will never take place, because the goal was never to make women’s sports more fair. It’s always been about trans erasure.

You are correct.

Tariffs allow Trump to pay for his tax cuts to the ultra wealthy by stealing from the working class, without them knowing. He also gets to position himself as a strongman and negotiator. There you go.

Can’t wait to get Chuck unstuck.

Please just leave the sea bugs in the ocean thanks.

This isn’t a news story, it’s a fucking ad.

When I was a kid, growing up in New England, my parents would occasionally get live lobsters from the grocery store. My dad would always let me play with them before dinner. It always made me so sad when it was time for them to die, and to this day my parents bring up one particular night that I was begging them, “you can’t kill them, they’re my friends!” It’s a fun story for them, but it probably traumatized the fuck out of me.

I love magic mushrooms, but the idea of tripping with my kids in the same house as me is a no go. I struggle to think of a worse thing to happen during a trip than a screaming toddler.

If your company platforms racists, it’s a racist company.

“Remove the label”

A given person’s definition of “old” is usually about 15 years older than they are. My boss is 65 and calls 70 year olds “young”.

Everyone’s vote having the same weight, and our elections not being a competition to win a handful of battleground states while ignoring the rest of the country? Don’t threaten me with a good time.
