It ended the practice 30 years ago after its own internal report said was scientifically flawed, discriminatory, and a cause of emotional trauma www.wearequeeraf.com/olympics-end...

"The IOC already tried mandatory sex testing. For decades, every female Olympic athlete was screened. In all those years, it never caught a single person deliberately misrepresenting their sex. What it did was destroy the careers & lives of women with intersex conditions they didn’t know they had."

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1839

Nothing makes me more irrationally angry than those commercials for protein water. It makes me channel my inner Ron Swanson.

Some Americans threw absolute tantrums when asked to wear a mask in Home Depot but they are gonna continue to tolerate 4 hour long waits to go through security to board a plane that might collide with a fire truck. We are not a serious country.

I don’t love being in a society where you can sell enough pillows to do meaningful damage to democracy or sell enough children’s books to do a genocide or sell enough chicken sandwiches to abolish gay marriage That all seems like a ridiculous way to do society to me

We were in the neighborhood and had to swing by and say hi. 😃

🤣🤣😂😂😭😭😭

I'm happy for him because they tried to shame him for having an honest gig bagging groceries. He said I know my worth, I'm a thespian, there's pride in however I'm putting food on the table.

The correlation between being a Jan 6er and being a pedophile is incredible, it must be like several standard deviations outside what you’d expect just based on chance

This 👇 is such a great X thread from @magdi.bsky.social that I had to screen record it and bring it over here. 👏👏👏👏 Video:

I'm gonna make a plan to do this soon. I do not feel confident my nearly 50 year old shot is gonna protect me from the shitstorm that is brewing out there.

Happening now: a small protest at O'Hare is marching through terminal 1 this evening outside Chicago. ICE agents have been spotted inside the airport all week. Folks chanting, "ICE out of O'Hare! ICE out of everywhere!"

:( RIP

Watching medicine and public health being destroyed by the dumbest motherfuckers...

Election expert testifies FBI’s evidence in Fulton County ballot case ‘doesn’t make sense’ www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

I am a HUGE fan of school nutrition/foodways programs like this!

Perfect description of Bluesky

New Jersey just joined nine other states—California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Maine, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington—in banning local participation in ICE’s 287(g) program. It’s the fourth state to do so this year. boltsmag.org/new-jer...

“dozens of Girardian philosophers and theologians from around the world filed into a modest lecture hall at the Catholic University of Paris. And from the dais, Thiel delivered a nearly hourlong account of his thoughts on Armageddon—and all the things he believed were “not enough” to prevent it.”

“This erodes roughly one-fifth of the average worldwide decline in maternal mortality achieved since 1985.” Republicans bring death & destruction in their wake — from wars to financial collapse and everything in between.

Feb 3 2025: Musk tweets about putting USAID "into the wood chipper" which led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. Later that day Zuckerberg texted Musk to say he would censor content threatening DOGE & "Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help." Actively helping destroy govt agencies.

This is the thing I don’t get at all! The most prominent thing anybody outside of Maine would know about Mills was early in Trump II when it seemed like everyone was caving and they told her to fuck over trans kids and she told them to go screw.

As you stand in a four hour security line praying you don't miss your flight, be sure to call Mike Johnson and thank him personally.

I find it baffling people are claiming Chuck Schumer and Senate Dems caved for nothing even though they basically got everything they wanted out of a TSA funding deal with the added bonus of now making Mike Johnson and House Republicans shoot themselves in the dicks

This is going to be one of the most bizarre things where racism works to inadvertently protect communities of color. That's not the goal, but they'll kill a generation of young white people to be anti-woke

Lmao what a soggy bitch-ass wimp; I am stressed to the point of constant PTSD flares & autoimmune attacks, didn't earn them by casually becoming a fascist, and I still manage to peel myself out of bed every day to try to function anyway without treating the hospital like my personal spa. Loser.

Our Attorney General does not know the law.

Insisting that DNA is more important than the actual biological facts of my body is like insisting that my house doesn’t have a deck, because the original plans didn’t include one. “But look. It’s a deck. It’s right there.” “NO! It’s not in the original plans! It’s not there!”

With Trump and Carr threatening cable news, the hypocrisy is nuts! “Any Republican official who is vocal about Biden’s jawboning but silent now is someone who probably doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously when it comes to principled application of the First Amendment." -- Joe Stern @freedom.press

You have to be fucking deranged to believe that the configuration of basically *anyone else’s* genitals are any of your fucking business, but particularly those of a total stranger. These people are just perverts, right?

People really want to believe that science is completely absent from all bias, which is pretty anti-science if you think about it! Very "I've never taken a humanities or history class" type vibe!

It's late, but this is important: Senate Republicans are pressuring the FDA to shut down abortion pill websites jessica.substack.com/p/the-gops-p...

I've been warning about the rising attacks on pro-choice speech for months. Just this week, South Dakota banned ads for abortion with language so broad that even providing *information* about how to get abortion could be prosecutable jessica.substack.com/p/south-dako...

Republicans in Congress have abdicated their power to a dictator. If that's not true, then why dictator-enabling shaped?

There’s a guy on Facebook aiming to document the story of everyone who’s died under ICE & CBP. It’s heartbreaking. www.facebook.com/share/p/17Pv...

I'm expecting a wheelbarrow-full of pardons for insider trading on January 19, 2029. Note that the prospect of those pardons helps to keep subordinates in line. Corrupt-cop style, make sure that lots of people get a little taste, then make clear that the pardon depends on continued loyalty.

Next they'll accuse the dead shot up citizens of "theft of government property", ie, the bullets they were shot with. Not being funny, this is a lying administration blaming innocent people for their own violence. It's frustrating and maddening.

Trump just claimed that “25 years ago” he said that NATO would never come to our aid. 25 years ago was 2001. That was literally the time that NATO came to our aid after 9/11. The only time any NATO member has exercised Article 5. He continues to antagonize our allies. He needs to go.

👏🏼The Choctaw Nation has purchased a warehouse in Oklahoma that ICE was trying to buy and use as a detention center. www.projectsaltbox.com/p/choctaw-na...

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a remake of Woody Guthrie’s classic protest song “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” updated to fit the current moment and urge action ahead of the midterms. You have to listen to this.

The new season of GOOD OMENS is really struggling to cope with its reduced budget, I see.

Really disgusted by the use of calling people who have not identified as gay or trans as gay or trans as an insult. This is a disgusting trend I've been seeing for a while now. Gender or sexuality shouldn't be used as a way to attack someone. For example if you call a man a woman as an insult, gross

real mad king stuff
