it sounds contradictory but it's really not. They say "Protect" bc they see women's sports as a cute charity for little girls rather than legit competitions people care about and strive for. They're always baffled when they show up at women's sports and find people who actually care about the games

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

El Trafico, every time:

Hilarious side note of this skeet: in the comments I’ve seen people arguing that “Italy has great public infrastructure” and “Stockholm has bad transit” while in my experience as an Italian who did an exchange in Stockholm and has now gone back is total nostalgia for what we could be

It’s funny how western leftists seem amazed at features of Asian societies as public infrastructure that is quickly repaired or public transportation that is always on time without seeming to realize that the secret sauce is worker exploitation

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

The Union lose as soon as Cavan Sullivan is out suspended huh curious enough

Anti-trans bigots are coming to NWSL games looking to provoke violence or other incidents that could go viral. This is the back-up plan: harass and endanger anyone who stands up to them. NWSL is going to have to contend with this. Kicking the can down the road will put too many fans at risk.

Columbus is red hot man. Been staring at some stuff that loves them recently. If they make the playoffs they’re going to give one of the top seeds a legit scare

This is why JR Moehringer’s profile of Alex Rodriguez is journalism canon to me. He got unfettered access to A-Rod but refused to quote him in any way because he was a known liar. I’ve always wished political journalists would apply this thinking but they would never. www.espn.com/espn/feature...

So basically we can now call this a DP rule

The American right wing is anti-city (anti-bike, anti-transit, anti-density, etc) because their power relies on their base hating and distrusting anyone not exactly like them, and as @mayor.seattle.gov said “Cities are where people who are different from one another learn how to live together.”

football club sale actually real estate speculation in a trenchcoat

yeah, i think we need to see those grand jury records

The Columbus Dispatch this morning

One could say that it’s hard to fathom how little interest USOC gets even vs to random midweek MLS games, with DCU of all teams,but the reality is that it’s not: national cups are in crisis in basically any country except maybe France and England. Devaluing playoff soccer comes at a cost eventually

the U.S. Open Cup final should be the one last holdout to not decide the match on penalties. shameful

Ok I love this guy

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff to Vladimir Putin today: “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir. And I salute that. I commend you.”

"With a seeming flick of a switch, Musk has the power to alter the course of a deadly conflict. " Nobody should have that kind of power www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

We're smoking the Alberta separatist pack tonight

I feel like a version of this video has existed for the past two, three seasons of the Green Bay Packers? Gotten into NFL and the Packers in 2021 and it seems to me like we are always leading the league in penalties

6 consecutive games without a goal contribution from Evander, who looked pissed, to say the least, as he stopped following the play on basically the last ditch attempt from Cincy to score a goal yesterday. It does feel like another massive problem that must be solved for next season by Cincy

In my mother family’s crypt my great-grandfather built, there are the rests of his father but specifically not of his mother bc basically everyone in that family had cut her off, and to this day nobody knows her name nor where she could possibly be buried. This happened 100 years ago.

Between Iran, Libya and Ukraine, no country will ever give up its nuked again.

I will say: I am terribly fascinated by Jalen Hurts and his decision, in the same way I am fascinated by Alex Honnold free soloing. “Dedication to pointlessness in the face of impending death” is The Most Human Thing. But yeah, there are at least 5 more notable things about this story than this one

some people should be fired over this

The Cowboys are now 1-7-1 vs the Packers since this guy taunted the Packers in Pitch Perfect 2.

Josh Allen what the fuck

It’s going to be a “long, hard look in the mirror” type of off-season for Cincinnati. I don’t know if it’ll result in Noonan getting the axe, or even Albright too, but this season has just become more disappointing the more it unfolds

I have a soft spot for when an artist says "I'm gonna do all the things you hate *even more*"

alright this is one of the funniest ends to a half i've ever seen. panthers gain 9 yards, 4th and 1 from their 45, ~30 seconds left in the half. guy was ruled out of bounds but the clock keeps running for some reason, nobody on either team cares, nobody calls a timeout, clock runs out, halftime

Snyder Brunell is very good at dummies, and he’s very good at selling them, and when you are that good at such a game manipulation skill at that young an age, I believe in you no matter what the rest looks like

Very encouraging first starting appearance from Daniel Job imho. The dribbling translates to this level, which is not a given in the jump from Norwegian second tier to MLS. He had a couple of runs that looked straight out of his highlight reel at Kongsvinger

Baller.
