The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

Signs Iran may be holding its best missiles in reserve. Highest-tech missiles not yet used, “possibly because they have been destroyed, possibly because they are not yet operational, or possibly because they will only be used when adversaries run short of interceptors.” www.ft.com/content/fe4d...

yeah, i will be honest and it may come as a surprise but i don’t like this idaho bill one bit.

this is important context

Stephen Colbert is absolutely the ultimate King of the Nerds and I mean that in the most complimentary and admiring way possible.

Putain non, pas la porte hydraulique! Oh non, pas encore... Tabarnak, il y a une quantité incroyable de sang.

There are so many amazing alternatives to giving JKR money (watching a thing on a streaming platform counts, more views = more money) You can make new memories and leave HP behind, even if it used to mean a lot to you. Living people are more important than your memories. It'll be ok. I promise.

that idaho bill that i started with? remember that it comes with a potential penalty of 5 years in prison. do cis people know what prison time is like for trans people? i’ll bet you think you do. i’ll bet you think it’s bad. it’s worse than what you think. and we’ve lost ground there too. somehow.

Excellent! Now let's apply it to anyone detained in ICE warehouses in PA, and get those things shut down.

They probably only let him out to avoid having him die in ICE custody. Really a 360-degree assault — decimate cancer research, send health insurance premiums skyrocketing, then detain thousands of people and deny them healthcare. Death cult.

This is truly how he needs to be covered by the MSM. But when you haven't paid attention as I haven't today, it reads insane.

Another way you can help me and others with M.E. Most healthcare professionals have never been taught anything about this disease, so we often receive false information and harmful treatments. If you're in the US, you can sign on to these letters and help our doctors learn what we're dealing with.

This is a five-alarm fire for our democracy and our future. Democrats have to step up and meet the moment. Our current congressmember isn't getting the job done.

Tricia Dearborn: "Jesus fucking Christ on a cracker. On 22 March 2026, in Wales, at least 76% of patients in hospital with Covid CAUGHT COVID AT THE HOSPITAL. Healthcare providers everywhere: have healthcare workers wear N95s! Clean the air! Stop giving patients diseases they did not come in with"

Rumi is gonna have like twelve different hair colors in the next movie

saw “nobody put a sequel clause in their contract” and started cackling, this rules so hard the merchandising alone is probably worth more than the payday given that half the little girls at my kids’ school were going as one of the kpop demon hunters for halloween

Obviously its intentional but things would be so different if our media would report illegal and unconstitutional things as illegal and unconstitutional.

He's happy and he's on his way! #DailyDoggo

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

Hello, beautiful! The Hubble and James Webb space telescopes have captured stunning new views of Saturn

Insurance covers treatment but sadly there is no cure for Ohio

Society privileges couples in so many ways, socially, economically, and legally. Least of which is the fact you cannot book a solo kayak trip through bioluminescent waters under a new moon as a single person. If I drown in the shimmering dark that is my business.

Goldman: It is a joke for you to say that Republicans were treated so unfairly… George Santos got a pardon. Every single Republican under investigation had their investigation dropped. Every single political person that Trump has investigated is a Democrat
