being a higher ed person, I see how twitterx still owns the sports space - journos use it to report, coaches use it for recruiting, athletes feel like they need it to be visible.
women's sports are certainly not positively served by having that cesspool as a backdrop, could lead the way outta there

in what ways could men becoming monks be beneficial for women who are uninterested in the constraints of patriarchal society? and men of the same mindset? discuss
Look I keep saying this - the most nuns I personally met or know about were women uninterested in the constraints of patriarchal society. While the church of course has those too a convent still frees you up from marriage to men and pressures to have children, and gives you access to education.

counterpoint: it's OK to not try to understand extremely stupid things
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

But a growing number of some of the field's most respected voices say it's time to look deeper.

you'd think that AP style would recognize that firing during a ceasefire means that ends the ceasefire, but you'd be wrong
just pathetic failure here because that's easier than speaking ill of Israel, the ultimate sin in coward journalism

I mean it's not complicated. Twenty people who were there have confirmed that Nigel Farage said all of these things.
He's the only one denying it, which means just one thing. He is a liar

Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?
