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...

Um @nashvillepost.com, 1.8 kWh is only enough for my EV to drive 4-5 miles. Surely you mean gigawatts?

Nashville Post@nashvillepost.com

Renewable energy project will generate up to 1.8 kilowatt hours of energy per year, potentially $160,000 in annual revenue https://www.nashvillepost.com/politics/metro-moves-forward-with-fairgrounds-solar-facility/article_8894895f-8d40-4cce-b329-e26dc395664c.html

So about that Formula 1 Qatari Grand Prix…

BREAKING: "US embassy staff and families ordered to leave Saudi Arabia, with families of embassy staff in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Qatar and Bahrain also ordered to leave," per AFP

Assuming Antonelli finishes ahead of both Russel and Hamilton this weekend in Texas, he is going to be crowned world champion once Qatar gets cancelled. And if it doesn’t get cancelled, I’m told Perrelli will be release missile-defecting hard tires (tyres?).

Maybe don’t try a fake punt that deep in your own territory against one of the best teams in the country. Just a thought

And I will be decked out in whatever it takes not to watch the worst team in the history of the NFL.

🚨BRITCHES REPORT🚨: The @Titans will be decked out in white jerseys, light blue britches and white socks in Sunday’s game at the @Colts. 👖

Reminder that Jim Cantore works for a private “weather” television network that would benefit massively from privatizing our network of weather radars.

EJD@firewxguy.bsky.social

I don't think privatization is the answer. Weather data such as this needs to be publicly available and free. The answer is this administration shouldn't have gutted NOAA's budget with the horrible DOGE cuts.

Yeah this is pretty much the nail in the coffin for the Nashville Symphony. They brought in a CEO whose CV included a long list of rebuilding struggling symphony-orchestras to financial solvency. He was the CEO for Nashville for two months and said NOPE. Fuck.

Nashville Scene@nashvillescene.com

Update: On Tuesday evening, Nashville Symphony president and CEO Mark Cantrell stepped down from his role, with the symphony’s board of directors appointing Mark Tillinger to replace him.

Except the PAC-12 did it to themselves when they overestimated their value and rejected their TV deal with ESPN. They went shopping for a new partner, couldn’t get a deal done, and faced financial collapse. So their biggest schools made the right decision and left.

Chris Vannini@chrisvannini.com

Sen. Maria Cantwell (D) on the Protect College Sports Act's passage: "The last thing we need to have is another Pac-12 incident." The conference realignment fallout of 2021-23 played a big role in getting us here.

Idk what's happening but the broadcast going directly from "look at this guy whose presence during football games fucks up the audio in the stadium" to the audio being fucked up is really great TV

Jason Kirk@jasonkirk.fyi

Trump stank destroying ABC's audio lmao

What actually terrifies me is during furry conventions, a large amount of our nation’s most talented and critical laborers are all amassed in one place. It’s a national security issue when too many furries gather in one place! We need rules, with Designated Survivor-style furries kept off site.

FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social

Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.

Has FOX ever considered giving TV viewers crowd noise? Why are games with 100,000+ people so damn quiet on TV? I miss CBS games primarily because they actually understood how to create a high quality broadcast. FOX and ABC/ESPN are just garbage quality.

They’re so desperate they’re resorting to bribing the people only if they win. Have they tried being less shitty?

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

President Trump has pledged a $5,000 dividend to every American adult — only if Republicans retain control of Congress in the midterm elections. The payments could cost an excess of $1 trillion.

The ticks this year have been so, so bad and aggressive. The other day I walked through my yard for 1 minute and had to flick two ticks off of my SHIRT. I’ve had to pull four off my skin so far and I’m terrified of getting alpha-gal or Lyme disease.

Tennessee Lookout@tennesseelookout.com

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as many as 450,000 people have contracted tick-borne alpha-gal syndrome since 2010 — a number than may be grossly underestimated. The Tennessee Department of Health has received around 484 reports since July 2025.

It’s rather annoying how expensive NFL jerseys are. I really want a new Titans jersey, AND one of those Rivalries jerseys. But right away, I’m at $424.98 before tax… Or I could get screen printed jerseys which are guaranteed to fall apart after one wash cycle for only $309.98. What a deal!

And this doesn’t even factor in that this team is so bad that it’s a 100% chance whatever player’s jersey *I* select will be gone next year. Why can’t I get a jersey with no name on it…

I Will Always Love You, Dolly 💔

RIP Dolly Parton. What she used her wealth and platform to do for children should be a model to anyone with the means to do so.

I’m currently explaining to my soon-to-be 1 year old about intermediate and wet tires.

Steven Godfrey@stevengodfrey.bsky.social

Flirted too hard and now I’m awake at 6 on a Sunday because my progeny is concerned about track conditions in Holland

Wait… it’s not a presidential election year. What is she doing out of hibernation?

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Jill Stein, the three-time Green Party presidential candidate, is facing misdemeanor charges of trespassing and assault in St. Louis over her role in a campus demonstration against the war in Gaza in 2024. https://wapo.st/4xcS81y

111.7° heat index with a breeze at my house a few minutes ago. We’re being air-fried. Low dew point was 71.7°. Autumn can’t get here fast enough.

If you’re a decent human living in Tennessee, there’s rarely a satisfying election night. But we can all celebrate Andy Ogles getting the door slammed in his face. Get fucked, Andy.

Why does everything thing have to have that fucker’s name and face on it? God I can’t wait until we (nationally) finally reckon that he is a felonious piece of shit and purge his name from everything except court and death records.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

The U.S. Mint will soon begin producing a new $1 gold-hued coin with President Trump’s face on it to commemorate America’s 250th birthday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced.

This is not the aging, controversial, prominent, sitting GOP U.S. Senator I expected to see die right now.

I spoke to my 10 month old this morning, the senior human child from our family. She’s still recovering from a teething episode. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes… about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation with USMNT, my visit to the Publix, and even a little bit about Roman history.

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social

Scott Jennings says he spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes this morning.

if I were a professional soccer player, I would 100% score an own goal because I had forgotten which of the two wildly unrelated colors my keeper was wearing this is definitely the only barrier to my being a professional soccer player

The USMNT and Knicks being really good except for the precise moment when Trump involves himself is really funny
