Lia Thomas met the NCAA requirements for transition when she started competing as a woman. Did the right accept those standards? Or, if they disagreed, argue that they could be more stringent? No. They said she was a man who was unfairly competing and pretended that there were no standards at all.

The data center industry already accounts for more than 4% of total U.S. electricity consumption, and energy usage by data centers is expected to triple by 2028.

Obviously some people never watched the VeggieTales episode with Rack, Shack, and Benny.

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

Anyway in other news today is Constitution Day

Anti-trust matters!!

I told my husband the TLOAS cardigan dropped today and he was not understanding what I was saying until I yelled at him “IT IS A LITERAL SWEATER!” and he was like “so it’s a merch thing?”

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

So we think this administration is the one that’s finally doing to do something about the ADHD stimulant shortage, right? </sarcasm>

We’re reading Genesis 22 today, and a part of me wonders if Abraham didn’t actually fail God’s test

I have reached the point of family game night where I’m considering self-sabotage just to get it over more quickly lol

As a reminder that not everything is awful, here’s a little Derpy keychain I made this week

The governor of Utah is sad that the suspect they have in custody for the murder of Charlie Kirk won't let him start a race war.

Siri, play “I Hate It Here” by Taylor Swift

going from "transgender ideology" to "look at the poor misguided white kid" without even taking a breath, unconscionable

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Judging from the number of emails I’m getting from various courts telling me not to sign up for MFA until I’m prompted to do so and not to call the PACER Service Center unless it’s an emergency, roll-out of MFA for PACER is going swimmingly. Glad to know this is what my PACER fees pay for.

There's a website tracking names, locations, social media language from people posting about Kirk's death. Such doxxing is dangerous always & esp targeting ppl for their protected speech, even when it condemns violence & Kirk's killing while questioning his messaging. www.wired.com/story/right-...

Democrats are weak. Democrats are all about feelings, and rights, and warm and fuzzy stuff like that. They're always complaining. They're like...women. And MAGA types don't respect women. They're not their equals. Full stop. Once you see this, you can't unsee it.

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

I honestly can’t decide which part of this article is the most appalling

As someone Kirk would have liked to disenfranchise, I’m not particularly interested in honoring his memory.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Watching the VMAs and as usual I don’t know who any of these infants are.

Remember at the beginning of the pandemic when everything went touch-free? We appear to have done a 180.

There is no compromise policy Democrats can offer Republicans to make them act normal on this issue. We simply have to state the basic reality — immigrants contribute to our country in myriad ways — and fight for it. I don't know how so many journalists convinced themselves this isn't an option.

Parents!! Y’all can vote for Golden as Song of the Summer for the VMAs! Go to MTV’s instagram and click on their stories

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I am leading a training this afternoon, but because of (reasons) I was running way behind on preparing. So of course, just as I was putting the final touches on my presentation and about to start a run-through the school nurse called.

Armani's clothes highlight the body as an object of art. Celebrities have flaunted his fashion on red carpets for decades. He revolutionized the suit jacket, with casual silhouettes and softer colors.

We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.
