Since the #Olympics are on, let's repost a classic thread here: a brief history of the practice of "sex verification" in sport.

Content warning: This thread will mention anti-intersex discrimination, FGM practices and body shaming.

This is cycling in Copenhagen.

No hi-vis. No helmet mandates.
People cycle because it’s safe — by design.

This is what cycling should look like.

Ireland is moving in the opposite direction. Instead of designing safe places to cycle, we're blaming the people cycling...

After seven and a half years of weekly parenting columns for the Observer, today's will be my last.

I started writing the column a few weeks before becoming a dad, so I've never parented without it.

I'll miss it more than I express in words, but I had a go anyway.

What a privilege it has been to trace each wobbling step along the parental path. I’m going to miss it

For the love of God start a pension early. Compounding growth is the most misunderstood gift we can give to our future selves.

In 2023 the UK government legislated that veterans who, like US ICE officers, shot their fellow citizens dead, on camera - for protesting, would never answer in any court - Civil, Criminal or even Coroners. With no pushback from the left or electorate.
In case you think it couldn’t happen here

Looks like America, as it once was, is irredeemable.
Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.

"protestors have human shields" the netanyahufication of america
The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

The Boston Globe Test:

This satirical front page imagined a Trump presidency in 2016. Critics (including Trump himself) dismissed it as "alarmist" and "propaganda" at the time.

Do these headlines feel normal today? Even...quaint?

If so: we have grown more accepting of what was once unthinkable.
