Granted, she’s not reached the same levels of success since winning the US Open in 2021. But calling her a piece of shit and demanding jail time is a bit strong.

AI’s good at predicting what comes next, on average. I am not average. My friends are not average. My favourite artists are not average. We’re weird, messy, experimental, unpredictable, rough around the edges, real.

I’m not sure that’s how it works. Can you really infer multiple categories like that?

Not even your best line-read in that video. It’s second to: “cringe. There’s no other word for it. This makes me cringe… it’s embarrassing”

Quite literally “too many notes”

Call to arms for all the angry rioters to descend on their local cul-de-sac presumably.

The words “can ask…” are doing a lot of work here. Technically they “can ask” to see anything they like. To be met with a polite (or not so polite) “no”

Headline slot at GDQ. Good lad!

How would we know the difference?

At least one woman on the cricket subreddit before the thread got locked. Honestly I’ve no idea how this could be implemented. Many amateur club leagues will have games going ahead this weekend, possibly even tomorrow. Has guidance been cascaded by leagues? Will teams have to find replacements?

These arguments of “the ruling is bad because it might affect cis people” seem like poor quality arguments to me. Shouldn’t it be ban enough that trans people are being targeted? Sorry if this is reductive.

It would only apply to people convicted of sex crimes *in the UK*. Still bad and probably unworkable. But not as the headline suggests.

All three of them clearly have absolutely no fucking idea what they are talking about.

A case for more work on attracting girls to the sport at a young age. Obviously there is no biological advantage of being AMAB when it comes to pool. Unless the sport of pool has changed significantly since I played for 20p per game in the social club while at uni.

I’d love to read the science behind that claim. Any idea what their source is?

Which is still disgusting. I hate them for not standing up for trans people. I voted for them last year, I won’t do that again next time.

My charitable reading is that they simply don’t care. They don’t have principled positions on this. They just recognise that being transphobic is the path of least resistance in the current media environment. They welcome the ruling because it gives them an easy (wrong) answer to The Penis Question

I always like to think of it that “to jord” is an AAVE verb. As in: “oh, Michael? He be jordin’”

Your videos are great. When John Oliver did his latest episode about trans athletes, I was able to nod along smugly thinking “I already knew that from Mia Mulder’s video three years ago”.
comment in response to post
The judgment specifically went out of its way to allow for trans men to be excluded from women only spaces. Apparently having their cake and eating it. More people need to report on this as it demonstrates the general anti-trans sentiment in the ruling.

Despite the clear problems of social media. It’s mostly a net positive for kids trying to connect with like-minded people. Especially weird kids like me.

I went to conventions camping with total strangers, stayed up until 4am juggling with some of the best jugglers in the world. Later in my 30s I discovered SM64 the speedrunning community. None of this was possible without the internet.

When I was nine (1993) I saw some guy on TV doing cool yo-yo tricks. Couldn’t even find out how to buy a yo-yo, never mind other people to do it with. When I was nineteen (2003) I saw someone juggling. I went online and found an entire community of jugglers. Made some of the best friends of my life

While we’re at it. What the hell is a tuffet?

Every time a boomer at work says something regressive or hateful. I like to tell myself “they’re wrong, I’m right and they’ll probably die before me”

Shouldn’t graphs be shown with the y-axis starting at zero? Unless you want to visually exaggerate the drop.
