The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people.
I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate.
I make my case here.
Apparently the hot new rationalization in pissy right-wing creator circles as to why they're not as financially or culturally successful as they ought to be is that their IQs are all 30 points too high for the normies to understand their creations, and, oh, honey, I assure you, that's so not it
They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage.
To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.
SCOOP: White House officials, led by Susie Wiles, have told DOJ to delay any abortion-related action until after the midterms
Wiles suggested to Todd Blanche that an aggressive approach on abortion would be negative for the GOP in November

It is so good to see @reportermatt.bsky.social, who was in like 80% of my classes in college, become the most influential reporter in Massachusetts. He just loves the place, and you can tell in everything he does. A truly wonderful man making the whole state better.
Trump supporters and their apologists are endlessly confused to see relationships they previously enjoyed end, but what other result could entail? The shame of knowing that about you—what you support, what you excuse. The shame of continuing to know you after. Many are unwilling to endure it.
Cade Cavalli signed a contract extension, tossed 5 scoreless innings and reached 200 strikeouts. CJ Abrams joined the 30-30 Club. And Josiah Gray pitched in an MLB game for the first time in 897 days, closing out a 9-1 win.
That's a pretty good day for the Washington Nationals.
I don't like having to do this, but I have to.
This is not what happened. What happened was that a handful of scholars tried to legitimate an ahistorical argument and were criticized because of it. They then spent a year engaging in abject sophistry and caricaturing their critics. They still lost.
Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "
‘The Matrix’ creator Lilly Wachowski on J.K. Rowling and the new ‘Harry Potter’ series:
“She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support ‘Harry Potter,’ you’re supporting trans genocide.”

9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."
Sorry to bring gender in it but when you're a man and you fail to defend vulnerable people whom it is within your power to defend guess what you just failed at being
ICE boot enthusiast Milo Yiannopolous's account of his own immigration history makes no sense, and can't possibly be true. Matt breaks down the lie the media has totally missed at the center of the one of the most karmically appropriate deportations of all time

Dear Paul Toboni,
I don't know if you know that my birthday was last week, but both Mikolas and Williams?!!! The 2nd best birthday present I could have asked for.
The best one: extend James. Thank you 😊
Sincerely, your fan in section 106 🥰
Trevor Williams has been designated for assignment to clear a spot on the roster for Matt Waldron, who was claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays over the weekend.
These people will never shut the fuck up and make something worthwhile with their stupid slop machines but they will endlessly whine and whine and whine and whine about not getting credit for being able to pull the arm on a slot machine.
Simply not enough scorn heaped upon them yet.
In defence of AI slop: we should embrace open access to creativity, not condemn it
Look past the Donald Trump superhero memes and the new software gives us the chance to democratise creative production. No wonder art’s cultural gatekeepers are worried

(1) It’s possible to have interesting conversations about anything on here
(2) Almost everything will produce angry replies from some critical mass of people on here
(3) This is because this site is exceptionally good at not putting you in a bubble
(4) The solution to 2 is to just block jerks
Gonna briefly do an AI take: it used to be possible to have interesting discussions about AI here, and it's got progressively less so. You can't just think AI is bad, or overhyped, you've also got to subscribe to a very particular worst-case scenario about *how* it's bad and how bad it is.
In April of 2022, Donovan Casey spent five days with the Nationals but didn't play in a game. Then he never made it back to the majors.
Is he a big leaguer?
And how has he learned to live with that question rattling around his head?

Don't get me wrong, I lift every morning. But being a man is not really about how you show up in the gym.
It's how you show up for your family. It's about how you show up for your community.
LOMBARDO: So I know the pastor spoke about Officer Abdelnabi--
TRUMP RALLY CROWD: *Boooooo*
LOMBARDO: No. We're not booing him. He's the officer that passed away here recently
El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"
"I challenge anyone to defend it: a war built on lies told by a White House utterly absent figures of integrity to dissuade the president from his delusions" -- Jon Ossoff's entire address today at the Barean Christian Church is worth watching
The Dodgers who went to the White House should receive every bit as much judgment and condemnation as the Giants pitchers who Sharpied the Pride hats.
ICE spent their World Series-winning season terrorizing their city. Fuck them for doing photo ops with fascists instead of standing with their fans.
