Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics.

The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

Just not really sure it means anything anymore tbh

This fucking asshole, I swear to God

the joy of a heist has nothing to do with the loot, it's about the *craft* of a good heist. the loot is ancillary and frankly only there for the form of it. we applaud a good heist as we applaud a well executed ballet

I do love a story with a happy ending

this is dumb bullshit to put in The Times but objectively speaking we absolutely do go wild for a good heist on the internet, everyone had a field day with the louvre thing for weeks

I’m really close to being homeless again

I have two weeks to get the $2,000-ish I need to move and keep living indoors after April 30

I have free journalism publishing on Thuuuursday

Please send tips

Kay love you bye

Individuals who base their asylum applications on being LGBTQIA+ make up a tiny proportion of overall asylum cases, and even then a significant proportion, more than a third, are refused, often with disastrous outcomes. 2/

Legal advisers help migrants pose as gay to get asylum, undercover BBC investigation finds The BBC exposes a shadow industry charging migrants thousands of pounds to help them cheat the asylum system.

Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/

They continue to outlaw any form of protest that actually does anything.

It's worth noting here that these aren't bombings. This is demolition

The IDF are able to freely walk around here and rig these obviously residential properties with demolition explosives, so it's not like there's any threat at all to them

This is, VERY clearly, the war crime of wanton destruction

This is all to quietly strip anonymity from the internet to have a chilling effect on politically inconvenient speech and to crack down on marginalized people by enabling potential "off the record" retaliation and to build the Thielian panopticon.

I can’t even see anything in your recent posts that should be controversial in the slightest

Evidently not - if it was worth it to be a doctor in this country, then our country wouldn’t have a severe medical staffing crisis in the NHS.

Sounds like the government should stop playing games and give doctors a fair deal so they can go back to work.

If you recognize which unnamed woman is talking because you're asked for comment and the comment makes it clear which of the woman's rape stories match your memory of events, and you text that specific woman and say "stop telling people I raped you," that is.... sure an admission of something.

chat it is the year of our lady two thousand and twenty six what are we doing

I think this is really important, and I'm worried it's never going to filter into the mainstream: Finland is producing studies that their researchers claim cast doubt on gender affirming care for youth, but they hide the ways their idiosyncratic approach itself could be to blame.

Imagine we'll see a lot of this stuff coming up in the next few years: Right-wing parties who created uneasy political coalitions by taking advantage of hyper-online shut ins realising they can't really control or contain them. Also a reason why they'll become very pro regulating social media

"Conversion therapist cooks the books" is like an entire genre of trans 'research'.

Literally just ROGD Take Two, this time with even less credibility

Only if they feel any shame in the answer. Unabashed, confident bigotry is getting pretty common.

Changing the road is sometimes necessary, yes.

Damn, why is the human head so fucking heavy

Sounds like a terribly inefficient and insufficient replacement for proper public infrastructure, especially considering I can’t imagine them being wheelchair accessible.

As a disabled person who can’t drive because of those disabilities and lives out of town, that’s just all the more reason why improvements to public transport infrastructure are absolutely necessary.

that's so wild that Israel did that. if only there had been a way to predict that based on the extremely recent past

We didn't deserve this day.
