Esther in that 2020-21 form rn

Man, I hate when I roll my ankle and come away with a bad *checks notes* Tourette syndrome

While law firms offer Trump free legal representation, this is happening.

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

If the @washingtonpost.com wanted to set its credibility on fire, this is what it would do. ChatGPT cannibalized an actual reporter’s good work, turned it into a steaming pile of misinformation and then had the fucking nerve to slap the reporter’s name back on its bullshit.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

In other words, they’re not really a car company. They’re fixers for government regulations for companies that actually sell cars.

Trans Lifeline is a good place to direct resources if you’re looking to help here fuck everyone involved with this decision

I looked into the media hysteria around a trans woman allegedly competing in the Boston Marathon yesterday. What I found was that every single anti-trans headline about the issue could be traced to a single person. It's 2025 & media literacy is dead.

Ooh and also, ooh. Effzeh flirting with being serious again

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

And to add more generally, I tend to treat football as a buffet and gorge on all the sections rather than just opting for one thing (WSL, Liga F, WEL etc.) which again, just what my brain does. But of course, every country will have its own culture and sporting culture (or football specific culture)

Olympic gold and bronze medalist Canadian international Desiree Scott announces her retirement from the national team. What a career you had 🇨🇦❤️ 📸 IG/msdscott

"we"?

This kind of thing pisses me off. The case concerns sexual assault allegations against Lingard’s grandfather, not him. It’s a highly sensitive matter & certainly not material for aggregator accounts to use as click bait or purposely word in vague terms so people think Lingard is under investigation.

Hey Pals! If you sometimes play Immaculate Grid or Immaculate Footy (any sport), or if you used to play and don't really any more, AND you would be up to chat with us at Sports Reference for a research project, please comment or send me a DM. Would love to hear your feedback!

This is one of those things my English brain just doesn't get. I know American sporting culture is wrapped up in city/locale identity and you don't necessarily support Team Y as much as you support all football, baseball, basketball, American football and ice hockey from City Y. But...

Labour is making the same mistake.

Imagine getting into power with the majority that Starmer has, and then using that power to punish trans and disabled people, actively resist a protective alliance with the EU in the face of growing US fascism, and then foment hatred towards foreigners.

And this is why I check my FB memories

“you either vote for us or you get reform, ps. we are implementing all of reform’s policies”

It is difficult for me to convey how profoundly unsurprised I was reading this article, which is about the world's richest and most famous entrepreneur threatening to deport his employees for pointing out a potentially fatal safety issue with his car company's brakes futurism.com/tesla-engine...

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Is Henry Blodget ok
