I feel like the obvious, easy solution to the faux outrage over trans athletes is to stop segregating sports based on arbitrary physical characteristics. How are "womens' leagues" ethically different from segregating athletes by race? Why is it okay to offer women "separate but equal" opportunities?

I've been occasionally using LLM AI tools as a "rubber duck" to bounce my ideas off of, and it threw me a line today in a chat about ethical investment that I enjoyed: "The market can remain irrational longer than a rational investor can remain solvent"

I finally uninstalled Amazon Shopping and Facebook from my phone a couple of weeks ago, and it's been great! I've wasted less time scrolling my phone and less money on impulse shopping.
At some point I'll kill off my accounts completely, but for the moment limiting them to use on my laptop is good.

I wish I'd been able to get more out of K.Dot's performance at the Super Bowl. I'm a fan to the extent that I own Good Kid M.A.A.D City on vinyl, but I had some trouble understanding what he was trying to get across in the half-time performance even with subtitles on.

The cards channel Guinan's wisdom today: When fascists try to seize power (8 Cloaks Rx), their internal conflicts eventually tear them apart (5 Cloaks Rx). The Wheel of Fortune reminds us that like the Terran Empire, all authoritarian systems ultimately fall. #dailytarot #tarot #tarotsky #startrek

Today I posted our second video/podcast for @kacklingkoven.bsky.social! It's still nerve-wracking putting this out there, but I'm confident that our videos will only get better as we get more practice at recording and editing!
Another week, and another podcast/video is up! This is the first in our Witch Trials series where we read and discuss #redditstories, and there was so much to talk about that we only managed to fit in one story this time! #witchsky #polysky
More to come next week!

Just got my new LeaperKim Veteran Patton-S #electricunicycle from eWheels! This is my first attempt to ride it around the back yard - gonna have to take it to the park to practice more tomorrow!

When the multiverse of family obligations comes calling, even Hippolyta gets overwhelmed (reversed Queen of Pentacles). Dr. Fate's advice? Learn the rules before breaking them. And ignore the haters (Seven of Wands) - you're doing fine. #tarot #tarotsky #witchsky #dc #dccomics
