Stanton put that ball into orbit

Critics of new bill say Ohio women would be banned from sports bras, bikinis in public 'The peak of fear mongering.'

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.

HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

*Strom!

(I met him once when I was 4th grader in Spartanburg. My teacher said, after he left, ‘it’s an honor to meet the senator before he dies.’ He lived and served in office for like 2.5 more terms I think.)

Storm Thurmond was also a Democrat in 1959

more than anything this conversation feels like it's happening on Facebook in the 2010s and that's just not where we live anymore

students have been kidnapped for writing op-eds, people have been shot in the street, a war's been started

give me *your plan* to denazify the government or piss off

They not only won’t cancel; they’ve handed the entire event over to the fascists.

Mark Your Player, Exploit the Space: Constructing, Deconstructing, and Reconstructing Canadian Multiculturalism through a Historicization of Soccer and the Men’s National Team (1970s–2000s) | Journal of Canadian Studies The storying of the Canadian men’s national soccer team has established immigration, multiculturalism, and transnationalism as a linchpin of the team’s climb from relative obscurity. This was transparent in the framing of the team leading up to and during the team’s historic appearance at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, following a 36 year-long campaign to return to the tournament. The contemporary phenomenon of celebrating ‘outsiders,’ particularly Black men, through the national team prompts the question: What has been soccer’s role in the narrative arc of Canadian multiculturalism? A widely mediated rhetoric that transmits curated information (propaganda about a nation here, for instance) raises questions as to whom it benefits. Canadian soccer notably channels a paradoxical process wherein the Other’s hypervisibility is framed as integral to Canadianness. Celebrated Black players on the national soccer squad emerge as ‘aliens’—in an ‘alien sport.’ This mechanism underscores the centrality of Whiteness at the turn of the twenty-first century that delineates multiculturalism through race. Using the team’s qualification for the 2022 Qatar World Cup as fulcrum, the aim is to explore the history of multicultural soccer’s significance in national identity (de/re)construction leading up to that moment. To unpack this, I present a historical investigation of soccer’s intersection with race, ethnicity, multiculturalism, and nationalism in Canada. This is done through an overview of the rhetoric around soccer multiculturalism from the late 1970s to the early 2000s through the Toronto Globe and Mail.

My lil paper on 'soccer multiculturalism' in Canada.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Well Done!

Globe showing the Atlantic Ocean with arrows depicting the AMOC circulation: warm surface currents (pink/red) flowing northward from the tropics toward the Arctic, and cold deep return currents (blue/purple) flowing southward. The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Most people have no idea. 🧵

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

Watching Palantir do Sephiroth posting about multiculturalism and I would like to remind everyone that they were doing corporate fake woke shit just like every other company.

Thank you

do you know if the Red Sox game will be on the radio?

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants.

“And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week.

And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY.
