i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

one thing that gets me about the snowball story is that the easy, obvious thing to do when pelted with snowball is to just fuckin pick up a snowball and throw back. it's a free opportunity to vent that pent-up cop rage! but noooo you gotta do actual violence even when fun violence is an option

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

People treat them like they’re a news outlet instead of Catturd2 for libs and it’s very strange.

Just started playing Ace Attorney Investigations 2, but I'm playing the fan translation, not the HD re-release. The fan translation seems pretty solid so far except they wildly underestimated how stupid the character names would be in the official translation

Only trouble with the miata is no back seat. Not that I need a back seat, I just like being able to tilt the seat back. If one stares into space as I often do whilst leant back, one just appears to be peacocking just how chill the vibes are.

oh cool! I’ve been wondering what jesse singal has to say about trans people, so cool someone finally gave him a platform

2007, what a time

I realize everyone is quote-dunking rn but every video I see out of Dodger Stadium is a 28 person 3 generation brawl so this might be a real sell

NEW: Trump's Department of Homeland Security bought an Atlanta-area warehouse it's converting into a migrant jail. I found the LLC selling the warehouse shares a DC address with The Carlyle Group, the Baltimore Orioles new owner's private equity firm. All the pieces matter. issa new [eyeblack]:

Hey, the good folks at Defector were kind enough to republish my weirdo love letter to spring baseball, and spring narratives. If you don't have a subscription to BP but do have one to Defector, you can read it here:

“why do you lock replies” people don’t realize that the kind of entitlement they have towards interacting with a stranger is a new phenomenon and the internet incentivizes a certain level of anti social behavior one should have the agency to spare oneself from

NEW: DHS left embedded comments in a PDF outlining its plans to warehouse immigrants, identifying the architects and laying bare the gross extent of its regulatory capture. Great scoop by @regret.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/metada...

I wouldn't say I liked it, but just on the merits passing a bunch of tariffs that he didn't remotely understand, all of which made everything at the grocery store cost either $7.99 or $13.99, really was one of President Trump's better policies.

it’s sorta beautiful that a skunk hit by a car will empty the clip and stink up the whole vicinity. A warrior’s death

Man...

only the Democratic Party surpasses the NBA's ideological commitment to byzantine refracted incentive-wizardry over ever actually just dealing directly with a problem

In other news, I guess I must have been the last one to hear about this? abcnews.com/US/story?id=...

Woah, my ideological peers dicussing whether or not I deserve rights? Thankfully as a progressive, this would surely never happen to me, haha

The Free Press is discovering new levels of Telling On Yourself that scientists previously thought could not exist

the only place this should happen is academic conferences

Lab! Lab! Lab! @benclemens.bsky.social and Sean Dolinar present the FanGraphs Lab, a very cool collaboration between the editorial team and the engineering team that provides a place to experiment with baseball data analysis and visualization.

Mitigating factor: bro kind of sucked at insurrecting

I hate Starmer as much as anyone, but I don't think he meant that perpetrators of abuse should be tackling the issue of abuse. Mf needs an editor

Scoop: Ring's CEO told staff Search Party is not going to be just for dogs, according to a leaked email I obtained. Said it is "first for finding dogs" before suggesting it would be expanded to be used for crime: www.404media.co/leaked-email...

Yeah I think that dog is an industry plant. I do not believe any of this. Fake dog

The running out of time line is "interesting" since the W and owners took 6 weeks to respond to the players previous offer.

Twice in my life now I've seen a pickup truck full of loose random tires on the side of the road having a flat tire changed.

Saw a hentai body pillow on FB marketplace. Fascinated by the concept of the guy trying to get money for a secondhand hentai body pillow, I checked the profile. He is currently offering for sale four (4) different hentai body pillows, as well as a hentai mousepad. What happened to you, man?

There's a long and honorable newspaper tradition of sending reporters out into the field to dump raw findings onto someone back in the office who has the skills and knowledge and understanding to shape the material into a story, and that's why editors got paid more than reporters

This is what Jackson Prep shortstops will do to your team. Prepare yourselves, Pirates fans

This also applies in real life war too. Shooting a giant missile at whatever doesn't count the same as chopping someone's head off because that is terrorism.
