American Psychiatrist Association Statement on White House Announcement on Autism

Standing at his locker, Mac Jones recalled how he used to cuss himself for a mistake he’d allow to linger. On Sunday, there were no four-letter words, but there was a positive message from a movie often known by its three-letter abbreviation: “MIB.” www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers... #49ers

Love waking up to that hippety hoppety feeling when the bed's decided to let you know it's taking up tap-dancing. #earthquake

A new piece in @economist.com willfully misrepresents a recent paper on youth gender identity, contradicting the findings to impose a narrative of bias and fear. @veraeikon.bsky.social covered the same paper for Assigned Media recently. Read her story here.

I know it's essentially immaterial given that they're both done, both also-rans & the date(s) themselves don't really matter, but six months ago I would have rated the possibility of Buster Posey's Giants 1.0 being eliminated on the same day as the Marlins as "very low," but it could happen.

No amount of political pressure or threats will ever make me not be trans.

Bryce Huff's Super Bowl ring from the #Eagles resides in a box, unopened, in his #49ers locker, a symbol of a season spent out of his "flow." But now Huff is feeling the love after years spent feeling unwanted. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers...

"It’s a reminder that attacks on trans people are nothing new – and that many of them are straight out of the Nazi playbook". Laurie Marhoefer, historian on gay and trans history in Weimar Republic and Nazi regime. theconversation.com/historians-a...

This reminds me of Reuters' directive to its newsrooms on how to cover Trump during his first term — like a hostile state. Access is preferred, but not required. Any journo who takes the DOD's pledge is suspect.

The Valkyries season is over but what an incredible first year!!! SF Chronicle Valkyries beat writer @mingemi.bsky.social shares her top 5 moments from the season. 🎬: me www.sfchronicle.com/sports/artic...

Golden State built a culture where fans are staying when the game is over to cheer on a team that just lost. They built that in ONE SEASON. So impressive

Best expansion team in U.S. major sports history goes down with a one-point loss in the playoffs. But it was a brilliant run, and let's face it, the #Valkyries are fun. Sad ending to a glorious first chapter.

The way Minnesota is forcing shots this first half, this is a Natalie Nakase coach of the year kind of defensive game plan

good news they moved the confetti machine so we can see the game now

What is SAP's VORAB (Value Over Replacement-level Aux Box), you ask? It's low. #Valkyries

Valks vs Minnesota starters: Burton - Charles - Salaun - Zandalasini - Rupert

The great irony of conservatives coining the term “gender ideology” to attack gender dysphoria treatment guidelines is that their entire approach to healthcare is ideological and based on ignoring science in favor of vibes.

* Spencer Rattler that good? Or is defense an issue? * Trent Williams plays great despite "playing different" * Poor Isaac Yiadom * Fred Warner even points out penalties in mid-play * Ji'Ayir Brown makes most of puny role www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers... #49ers

The violet court has made it to San Jose

Welcome to Ballhalla south

The Trump demands include that the University of California make a public statement that trans people don’t exist.

With tennis occupying Chase Center, the Valkyries’ playoff series shifts to San Jose’s SAP Center, where the fan experience will look a little different as Golden State faces elimination.

I own the late Dr. Arthur Ammann's desk, a piece of California Gold Rush history that I treasure. But I treasure even more the work he did in AIDS research in the '80s, a time when an unsympathetic administration chuckled as Americans died in the thousands. I would encourage folks to check this out.

in MLB dot com write ups of Roberto Clemente Award nominees, Liam Hendriks' work with LGBTQ+ organizations was referenced in 2022, 2023, and 2024. there is no mention of it in this year's write up. www.mlb.com/news/roberto... (previous years can be found changing "2025" in the url slug)

Another @susanslusser.bsky.social scoop: www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

Elon Musk has shared an obviously AI-generated image of the Unite the Kingdom rally in London. The first AI error is that the Arc de Triomphe is in Paris, not London. And once you zoom in, you'll notice that the Union Jacks and the crowd have other errors typical of AI images.

To see @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social, @ezraklein.bsky.social and other columnists just ignore this central piece of Turning Point’s work is inexcusable. TPUSA and its allies terrorized hundreds of academics. I was one of them.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Go yard to win? OK, Mr. Bailey, Earl Weaver approves.

wrote about Charlie Kirk's history of promoting political violence. if you want to oppose political violence, you need to repudiate the attack on Kirk, but you also need to be honest about what he advocated for, and not celebrate that. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/whitewashi...

If I don't see multiple ~media reporters~ columns about the extraordinarily irresponsible Wall Street Journal report from yesterday morning — and their extensive promotion of that inflammatory report — you all should just pack up and go home.

How magical was the Valkyries' first season? It's been so much fun we simply had to do this. The final chapters, on their performance in the playoffs, will be in there too, so how long until we go to press is still up to them! www.sfchronicle.com/about/newsro...

How Giants’ Jung Hoo Lee ‘hit bottom’ this season and emerged a better player www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

If listing cases of 2025 US political violence, one would include the Charlie Kirk killing, the Melissa Horman killing (MN state legislator), and the CDC shooting. The president omitting Horman and CDC, but reaching back 8 years for a non-deadly shooting to cite, conveys approval of those shootings.

I see a number of conservative friends reacting after today's news & I will state only this: As citizens, let me suggest the way forward is not to celebrate death. Let Charlie Kirk's readiness to do just that, directing that kind of hate @ his fellow Americans, be his epitaph, not yours or mine 1/2

Ryan Walker would be a "full-pack" closer if he could actually hold the job for a season; it would kill both of his manager's lungs and almost certainly lead to RFK Jr. endorsing the health benefits of tobacco.

One thought about the restaurant patrons who spoke truth to power at Tr*mp tonight in DC: the way the Secret Service works, that whole place and everyone in it was checked for highest levels of security first. And these folks got cleared, and then used their free speech against Tr*mp. Kudos.

Whenever we start hoping the New York Times is starting to get it, they do something to tell us they’re not. The latest example is this profile of neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, framed as a “white nationalist problem for the right.” As if the right isn’t white nationalist itself. (Gift link) 1/🧵
