This is one of those that I have to repost simply so that I can find it later today when I must share it with my entire family.

But I'll tag @mjhvincent.bsky.social too, since she'll need to see it as well.
This floored me.

Very, very disappointed to see my senator @baldwin.senate.gov providing any cover to this culture-war bullshit. This vote was a major, unnecessary self-inflicted wound, Senator.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

I don't typically repost TikToks, but OP is right -- the last sentence of the analysis is perfect.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

"U.S. officials have confirmed they are responsible for at least 76 extrajudicial murders in more than a dozen illegal attacks on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific since September."

There. Fixed it for you.

I went to look for tickets to this game because I'm nominally in the area. More than half of the stadium is end-zone seats. The bleachers where your "fifty yard line" seats are an entire outfield away.

Who thought this was a good idea? Soldier Field is a fine alternate location. This is not.

It's interesting how Republicans frame their policies as being so unpopular that if Puerto Ricans had self-determination they would permanently reject ever electing Republicans
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

PSU had a chance in this game until Ohio State realized the PSU secondary is hot garbage.

OSU will win this game by eighty points if they never run the ball again.

By halftime the entire southwest corner of the field to at least the 15 yard line was underwater. Took my feet a week to warm up.
Though it was on 11/11, I appreciate that there's a strong @sickoscommittee.org vibe in the online Michigan football community to celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the all-time classics: 1995 Michigan 5, Purdue 0 in an ice storm.

The space elevator project was founded by the world's billionaires, who were offered exclusive luxury tickets on the first ride up into space.

After the launch, the project announced a second funding round, to start looking into the feasibility and advisability of installing a "down" button.

The right sets the terms of our political discourse in so many ways, one of which is the idea that there isn't enough "debate" and "free speech" on campus.

We need to push back on this. The truth is (speaking for myself as a history prof), I don't really emphasize debate much in my classes/
