I’m being healed by seeing powerful female athletes, both with and without makeup and manicured nails as they so prefer, celebrating their incredible hard work, drinking victory beers on ice, and just celebrating in fullness.

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

we should have more community gardens, both because they're great and because it would be an excellent way of disillusioning people that feeding yourself from the land is easy.

<my wife and I at age 24> - “We’re living in the heart of LA, I’m probably going to the NFL, holy shit how is this our life???” <us now> - “Goddammit these city councilors suck ass”

Drama in House Judiciary Cmte Democrats moved to subpoena Todd Blanche over the Trump $1.7 billion slush fund Republicans had to buy time & scramble to get more Republicans into the room to narrowly defeat subpoena 18-to-17 Heavy lift for GOP to stop early battle over fund

Men don't like dating women that make more than them ... not because they don't enjoy partnership with women that are well resourced... Men are deeply afraid that they will be subject to the same financial abuse that they casually subject women to.

Getting reports of an incident where some Coast Guard cadets were confronted and menaced by an apparently confused and delirious old man with some kind of stigmata

Just saw a post from a Mississippi Gulf Coast high school deadnaming their trans salutatorian. The replies are filled with hundreds of students, locals and fellow Mississippians correcting/admonishing the school and calling him by his correct name. And this is in a very conservative county.

It rules that the last post the pod save guy did was him getting angry at the Onion

I think a lot of people have lost sight of the fact that bicycle helmets can do a decent job of protecting the wearer from a fall off the bike, but were never intended to protect the wearer from getting hit by a massive truck.

Fuck. These. Motherfuckers.

Tom Massie was taking down people in the Epstein files. Now he just lost his congressional seat. He needs to start dropping names. Start exposing these fuckers. Let the world know who raped kids.

For a province that seems to hate pronouns, Albertans sure like to identify as Americans. #justmovealready Go 🇨🇦 Go

Can anyone point to a moment in American history where “Instead of prosecuting these people who violated the law to serve their own political ends I think they should face no consequences so we can heal our divided nation” didn’t make things worse

personally I think anyone should be able to change their name for any reason ever and society should just adapt for that. you will not change my mind

In case you've ever wondered what it's like to be trans in 2026: friends are texting each other today to be safe again, as we do every week, because the richest man in the world is yet again boosting false claims that neo-Nazis who attacked the Mosque were trans and there's a conspiracy to hide it.

I recently watched an interview where actor /comedian Martin Short, talking about his daughter who passed away, said: “She did the best she could until she couldn’t,” and described mental illness as often being a “terminal disease.” We need more compassionate honesty and conversations like this

That’s how you know it’s bad

There is only One Black Cat but this particular manifestation is mine.

There's a cottage industry built around offering advice to young men for money, and and all of it is bad, what young men really need is to buy a cheap bicycle and bike tools so you can fix it and ride it 10-20 miles every day while listening to Moby Dick as an audiobook

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

i gave mine a little hat

Real question: the fuck do you guys think the word meant before

The extent to which launching with "hey creatives, we stole all of your stuff but it's fair use for the good of humanity, now we're going to charge other people to replace you with it" poisoned the well is hard to overstate.

If. A. Pipeline. Were. Financially. Viable. It. Would. Have. Been. Built. By. Now.

Three selfless men, likely, saved the lives of over a hundred children.

Let's make billionaires pay their fair share and find out

Amazing how different energy discussion is in Asia. Relying on imported fossil fuels seen as a huge energy security risk. Focus is on reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels by electrifying & moving to cheaper renewable energy. Risk to oilsands isn’t climate policy, it’s the energy transition.

It's not sustainable that people are going to just have to keep leaving various tech platforms and tech tools behind every few months. Most people aren't going to do this.

I can't believe we turned "Laptop Worker" into a term of derision. We now have the tech and business models to allow millions of people to make a living in ways unthered to a farm plot, assembly line,, or cubicle. That's very cool! Do not project your weird yearning for the mines on to me.

Barney Frank died. You're going to hear a lot of eulogizing for him this week, but I am going to remind everyone that he was oddly obsessed with trans women's penises for some reason.

God, it's so annoying to see posts from people talking about how awesome he was when he literally used his dying breath to go after trans people, a continuation of decades of being an antagonist.

the thing of "trans people just pushed too hard on the sports stuff" is so ahistorical that it makes me mad, when did you hear about trans sports before 2020 outside of the occasinoal human interest story on it

Good morning. The Red River in Winnipeg is at is 7.14 feet James. The Winnipeg mosquito trap count is zero. There’s only one active wildfire in Manitoba. There are 8.3 billion humans on earth. It is 85 seconds to midnight on the Doomsday clock.

Kind of feel like we especially don’t need fancy law explainers at the moment. “Can the president just take money when he wants?” A third grader could answer this. A Yale law prof is likelier to write the wrong answer so their 2L can work for Alito

Too many Canadian scientists attending conferences in the U.S., the acceptable number is zero.

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

Very rich people getting booed during commencement speeches is my new favorite genre of entertainment.

My kingdom for a tech ecosystem that will stop smothering me with apps and devices that constantly try to engage me in conversation against my will

the fuck it will

I guess my procrastination in buying plants worked out.

This is why I started paying for Kagi. Just couldn’t stand it anymore.

relatedly: thoughts on a semi-regular column on the handbasket about how much AI sucks?

Mikey V using AI to demonstrate he understands nothing about how traffic works. Anyways, when's the Bike lobby putting forward a decent mayoral candidate?

This shit makes me so angry and sad.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

JUST TELL ME THE FUCKING POST OFFICE HOURS JESUS CHRIST

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate advances bill aimed at ending Iran war after GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy, defeated in primary, switches to support it.

oh no what a terrible and completely unforeseeable thing to happen to one of the leading intellectual lights of her generation

Bad or worse. These are your only two choices in the #Winnipeg mayoral race so far. 💩
