A much bigger danger in sports is redshirting

Chris Kluwe, adjudicated poaster@chriswarcraft.bsky.social

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

A 150 lb freshman going up against a 250 lb opponent is dangerous but much more so is a 150 lb 14 year old going against a 250 lb stacked 19.5 year old senior whose parents enrolled him in kindergarten at 7 and then also held him back a year

Grandma, what was 1991 like? Local craftsmen worked primarily in puffy paint. There were dozens of concussions due to bath bead goop detritus. My Grandpa spent his days in his LaZBoy but no one knows what he looked like because of the indoor smoke. We had something called “health insurance”

Without exaggeration, more than half of the parent volunteers in my elementary library tell me that they loved Book It! As a kid and it made them read more OR that they weren’t judged for reading so much even when it wasn’t “cool” because everyone understood hustling for a personal pan pizza

None of the deranged men with vaccine skepticism have ever gone to the pediatrician with their child and witnessed a vaccine being given. They aren’t participatory in core parenting at all so they can make up shit and believe it forever

This is one of the longest-running shithead Trump opinions. He was talking about how The Vaccines Are Too Big Now, they put 72oz right into the baby, back when he was mostly posting photos of his golf courses and saying Bette Midler had "gone bananas." Of course he will believe it until he dies.

The same people who want back to the monoculture of 1950-1985 are the party who would be killed when a monocultured press mostly interested in governance reported on actual things occurring, and it blasted thru everyone’s evening, daily. Imagine Walter Cronkite credulous about crypto or Benghazi

What would you put on the Mount Rushmore of all time Tweets? (Mount Rushmore means 4. Do not be a coward and hedge by saying more than 4. Make a decision. (Less than 4 is fine though))

Endometriosis specialist literally patted me on head & told me to see a psychiatrist bc what I described pain placement wise was “so rare it couldn’t be real.” A GOOD surgeon last yr spent 12 hours excising, removing 2 organs, resectioning others. 8 day hospital stay. Couldn’t get it all in 12 hrs.

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

Between my 12 and 14 year olds, normal things they wanted to be when they grew up (asked every year on the first day of school) are disappearing at an wild rate: Games critic/journalist Research scientist Video game designer Writer “PBS show chooser” I guess Donut Shop Owner is still available

No I don’t know what I have to do. That’s why I employed an instructor

A pilot jumped out of the door of a moving plane to his death, leaving the student he was teaching to fly to land the aircraft by herself. The student said he told her, "You know what you have to do, carry on."

more broadly than just the looksmaxxing weirdos i think the Influencer Era is going to be a golden age for Weird Celebrity Deaths unseen since hollywood in the 1920's. giving people the national fame of movie stars with the institutional mental health support of the wrestling industry is a bad combo

Similar skip in my step reading this news as I did when Defector launched — writers I love in one place! Signed up immediately as a Diner since I don’t have Instagram but wow is it tempting to get to nickname the raven

Democrats should be doubling down that immigrants are crucial to American society, culture, and the economy. They also should be learning from Republicans about adopting language to make points. Immigrants are potential pre-Americans. Perhaps then more people will care about a grandma in Caracas

In college my very high friend ordered an Animal Style, Protein style, Vegetarian and the man at the speaker paused and said “sir, that is a slice of tomato wrapped in a piece of lettuce. Do you still want it?”

Just came across something on AppleNews called Sandwich Magazine which seems to have published 8 issues ever. One has an article titled “Brave New Sandwich: the ‘what is wrong with you’ sandwich” and another is “wait… what actually is a sandwich?” Gordon Ramsay is a cover model/guest editor

The Milwaukee Bucks are signing Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way NBA deal, joining older brothers Giannis and Thanasis, Octagon's Alex Saratsis tells ESPN. This marks the first time in NBA history that three brothers are on active roster contracts with the same team.

Hamilton Nolan@hamiltonnolan.bsky.social

It is mind blowing to hear Democratic politicians talking about the president sending the military into American cities as a “distraction.” Actually you are all now one degree away from being violently removed from power. The fact that this may not happen does not erase the fact that it may happen.

Making hegemony even more hegemonic… and that’s the GOAL

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.
