Since the NBA season ended last night, here's my self indulgent take on where Sports Bluesky is atm. The TLDR is that crappy Resistance accounts are working like antibodies to flush casual sports ppl off this platform and the devs should address this if they actually want sports to take off here.

I say this as someone who has shaved their arms for the last 4 months and nobody cared then either.

The average conservative is so conditioned to fight against their own interests that they wouldn't know what to do if they experienced true freedom.
You stick them in a place where the grocery store is in walking distance and not a twenty minute drive away and they'll die of stress like a rabbit.

I’m embarrassed of my country. Universal healthcare and housing are completely out of the question, but we always have enough money to bomb innocents and fight wars that aren’t our own.
The world looks down on us and we deserve it.

Today in "would be hilarious if it weren't so damn terrifying." These are the same guys who would throw around that damn Futurama quote anytime someone would bring up the WNBA. Just go back to losing NFL parlays on Fanduel. We'd all be better off.
Survey analysis finds people who don't watch women's sports, think they are less deserving of media attention than men's sports, and think women should prioritize being thin are more likely to oppose transgender women's inclusion in women's sports
Transgender athletes’ rights was opposed by those who viewed female athletes as undeserving, study finds
A recent study found opposition to transgender athletes' inclusion in sports was more common among those with weaker interest in supporting, promoting, and watching female athletes.

I find it very... idk, weird when someone sees a person say that it's problematic to make orcs the bad guys in D&D or that the word vagina offends transwomen, and thus decides to become a raging reactionary rather than just saying that yeah, sometimes the good guys have dumb and annoying people.

And there's evidence to the contrary! Trump did surprisingly well with young men but he did not win those who said things like "I worry I can't afford a house or kids" -- he won those who said things like "trans men aren't really men"

one of my pet takes is that americans only know how to talk about *anything* through the lens of "the economy." this is as true on the right as on the left. so much of our politics is driven by *status* and status anxiety that people only know how to express through "economic" language
I don’t think that the burrito taxi stuff is about real economics at all. The Uber economy is a new phenomenon and we’re unsure about how it gets culturally coded (per Bourdieu). If two friends get together for coffee, and one loves to cook but the other just orders, who has higher class status?

I recall a lot of hoopla from certain people about a crisis among American men and those same people are looking at what happened in New Orleans & Vegas and blaming... immigration? Wokeness? Schools? Liberals? Literally everything except widespread untreated mental health issues among American men.

The cowardice of game remakes is that they always chose celebrated titles to remake and use the most modern standard systems to adapt while they should tackle those flawed games that have troubled developments of budget cuts that never reached their full potential, those need remakes.

All of that tough talk by Mace and the police, and the protesters just got a ticket for obstructing public property like any other protest.
They are paper tigers and their threats are empty. Stand to to them. Courage is contagious.

I don't think the Broncos cutting Russell Wilson was this big of an L. The Broncos gave up a few draft picks and role players (though Shelby Harris will be deeply missed), the best of whom turned into Kenneth Walker. The Giants gave up Saquon, who might be a genuine GOAT candidate.
Daniel Jones has a new home.
The Minnesota Vikings have signed the former New York Giants quarterback, a source tells The Athletic.

Yesterday, I posted about an Arkansas horse stable that is accepting voucher money to pay for horse riding lessons for homeschoolers. They ended up getting so much pushback that they deleted the entire post.
This is what we mean when we say do not obey in advance. Push back.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

I love my trans friends.
And I mourn for those I’ll never get to meet.
Be safe, and be strong. I’ll do my best to be that for you, too.
