Yes, and...
It's extremely worth noting that this is the product of women in tennis fighting for years to be taken seriously with the 1970s and 80s being particularly notorious for sexist backlash which women fought through.
Yet another reason that tennis is brilliant(!) is that its main events (the four Slams) have men's & women's matches in the same days, same pitches, same stadiums, same audiences, and - despite Novak Djovokic's whining - same prize money 👍🏻
The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard
Structurally there's no reason for this at all. The Olympics manages to have men's and women's events side by side. World athletics does too. But in team sports and many other areas there's this insistence that any women's event that happens must compete with rather than run united with men's events
Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility.

Since January, ICE has detained and sought to deport a man who has insisted he was born to a prominent family in Jamaica. But his lawyers say he's a U.S. citizen who has delusions as a result of mental illness.
its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history
a friend took me to a Cheesecake Factory at the tail end of a shroom trip once. staring at the patrons, all I could think was “I know why I’m in a Cheesecake Factory at an outlet mall in Northern California… but why are you all in a Cheesecake Factory at an outlet mall in Northern California”
the midterm strategy for the dem party seems to be ratfucking their leftish candidates and promoting their fascist ones in order to obtain as few seats as possible, thereby maintaining what they believe is plausible deniability for not doing shit
The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.
"In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."

sorry i need to publicly be a hater for a second but what do you mean the giant 230k+ signature save mass effect petition is only about the IP and not the devs that were laid off
While on a train traveling between airport terminals, saw this ICE agent traveling as well, and snapped a photo of his arm patch. If you need evidence that the federal government now has a military presence in America, this is it. #NeverForget#ICE#ncpol
I’m sad that my favorite vaguely anarchist computer resale co-op moved out of my neighborhood after being a fixture for 2 decades, but as a consolation prize their empty building has some great alcoves to hide from the rain while you smoke drugs.
I hope those geeks enjoy their new location.
I am largely sympathetic to the ideals of prison abolition but the Bolsonaro fail son is reminding of the liberatory potential of putting a piece of shit who really deserves it under the jail.

Uchikoshi's comments about AI here have me thinking a lot about the Star Wars prequels, "directing in the edit," and ostensibly creative people working in collaborative mediums.
Basically, I'm starting to think the *promise* of AI appeals primarily to pathological conflict avoidance.
Reading this Famitsu interview Uchikoshi did and it seems that the reason the Crash Keys game was canceled was because *Uchikoshi* wanted to use AI, not the publisher. This snippet is driving me nuts. Makes all the posturing with Hundred Line read extremely shallow.
Reward money like this is almost always bullshit. Remember how the McDonalds employee who ratted out Luigi didn’t get her money because she called the police first instead of reporting to crime stoppers so they could call the police?
And then she got fired for her trouble.
Elizabeth Holmes is not the face of motherhood for incarcerated women.
Jazmin Valentine wailed in agony for 6 hours in labor while staff and nurses LAUGHED at her. She had to resort to sliding her amniotic sac under her cell door to prove she was in labor.
When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.”
When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.”
They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.
This whole attack line has reminded me that for years there was no bottom to the GOP and as long as you doubled down, you’d get your presidency and your SCOTUS seat.
Vivek is just following the established model.
Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad.
"This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."
32% of eligible US voters chose Trump in 2024, yet it was presented in the American media as an amazing landslide. Lula's reelection was significantly bigger, but it will be presented as eking out a win.
Missouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its ads focus on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors.
The campaign website never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.
