Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them."
It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

Musk is a perfect front man for right wing Republicans. He does all the dirty work hey would be run out of office if they did it themselves, and they get to have plausible deniability about any of his worst actions while knowing they can just beg Trump to reverse course if the politics look bad
New in PN: How DOGE is running back Musk's Twitter takeover
"The Twitter takeover is very much a blueprint for what Musk is doing in govt — from the cuts in cost to the layoffs to 'fork in the road stuff' emails offering resignations. It’s almost like he’s playing the hits." — @rmac.bsky.social

In the midst of a goal to cut taxes for the wealthy but cutting the safety net, it turns out that their is one tax increase some Republicans support: a 15 fold increase in the tax rate of their perceived political enemies.
I completely missed that Republicans introduced a bill to increase the endowment tax from 1.4% to 21%. If passed, Harvard would go from paying ~$35m to $525m/yr in federal taxes (that’s 8.2% of its current operating expenses)

Lol we fought two pointless wars for almost two decades while handing out trillions in tax cuts to billionaires. Where did all the money go? Who could say 🙄

Does David Sacks think that - if you go to the OMB website and click on the budget historical tables - men in trench coats will immediately break down your front door and haul you to some underground prison in the mountains?
