I don't think anyone pretending there isn't an effort underway by Republicans to eradicate trans people from public life can be taken seriously at this point.

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

"Horseshoe Theory" is the theory that horses need shoes. It's controversial because most animals don't wear shoes.

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

The push toward the corporate center that started with Clinton attracts people who don't actually believe in anything but comfort and the status quo. That's who most modern elected Democrats are, passive warriors for the status quo. The exact wrong people for the moment.

Klingberg giveth but Klingberg also taketh away

Boy do I hope they keep season 2 true to the book.

Government of murderers. Simple as that

no but seriously

Nice of the Hayward Fault to cook up a little earthquake to celebrate Great Shakeout Day 2025!

that sure got the heart racing from a dead sleep 😵‍💫

YES! I saw it at Mohegan Sun in ‘08. The NINJA tour in 09 was sick in its own way but the production for Lights in the Sky was mind-blowing.

WE'VE NEVER BEEN MORE BACK

May We All Use Our Voice On Hockey Like Ken Dryden Did By Avry Lewis-McDougall

New for Avrysports:

Ken Dryden will forever be one of the greatest goalies in NHL history, but his stance on concussions and how we can improve player safety will always be one of the greatest things he never backed down on. A king in using your platform for good.

Chappy agrees with you :)

Duane Kuiper home run (August 29, 1977) bobblehead displayed at the ballpark

Happy Duane Kuiper Home Run Day to all those who celebrate 😌

In case you want to know, it looks like it could be a tool that I’ve always just called a “rock bar” but also has lots of names (San Angelo bar, pry bar) used for breaking up rocks, digging holes, and prying stuff in general

So true.

And he's lying by the way. Gavin Newsom gave a toast at Gigi Gorgeous' and Nats Getty's wedding. Gigi Gorgeous is a trans woman influencer. Nats Getty, who is Gavin's godchild, came out as nonbinary and then a trans man. Gavin understands the issue, he's being cynical and calculating.

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990 World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

World Athletics says that "The SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex." The guy who literally discovered the gene and has spent the last 35 years researching it says they're wrong. theconversation.com/world-athlet...

we really needed it though

Yaz girlies for life 🥲💅🏻

deserved imo

we’re manifesting!!!

Centrist/Moderate is great branding because it implies reasonableness but there's nothing reasonable about stubbornly clinging to pro-business and pro-upper class politics when the country is falling apart. This is an ideology like any other, and it's a bad one

I followed for hockey but I’m loving the bird posts!
