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.

There's a lot of awful shit that'll eventually come out and surprise absolutely no one

When I was younger I thought it’d be great to be an author because I love stories and wouldn’t have to deal with work place politics.

That still rings true… but being able to set my own schedule and not having to commute, would be the greatest gift my autistic ass could receive.

“Seems poorly disposed for productive conversations”

Damn they can’t even write their descriptions without AI

Disappointed, though not surprised, I began to describe various life- saving components of USAID’s global health portfolio, highlighting how we prepare for and respond to emerging pandemic threats; support the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV; and immunize millions of children from the deadliest childhood diseases. I spoke for about five minutes, focusing primarily on our infectious diseases work and hoping to keep the attention of people who seemed to have no experience—or interest—in global health. When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.” Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

This is NUTS

Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating.

One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.

Boycott still going

We grow way too much alfalfa in Utah where we are constantly facing drought.
Water usage rights are messed on a local and interstate level.
My grandpa is a recipient of the Leopoldo Conservation Award, I’ve seen first hand how hard but effective resource management can be.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY

I don’t know why so much of the stuff didn’t sync with the library but modern iTunes on windows 11 is some tortuous troubleshooting

Huge pain in the ass but I have plenty of reasons for buying physical / 3rd party downloads.

Post update made much jank and it took over an hour fixing stuff. Still have some really mixed up album art.

It also split my essential Willie Nelson collection into 40 Willie’s and the fix was STUPID AF

Got music updated and phone cleaned up and boy I hate Apple rn. Phone iOS update is fugly and removed 70% of my older music, when I transferred my library from my previous PC like half my shit don’t copy over.
Spent hours ripping music off CDs.

I watched that for the first time like a year ago and it fucking SLAPS

for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

Hooray for living in a small town

this was predictable, but i don't feel all that good about it. among other things, if she can't fly out of the country she's just gonna wind up driving more.

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said.

I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

Exactly one year ago today:

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

People who suddenly feel like their transphobic “jokes” and “fairness in sports” takes are a bad look while the government forcibly detransitions people don’t get to say “oh that’s not what I meant!” You did mean it! People told you what it meant and you did it anyways!

Sharing again.

Genuinely, if you have the extension and think: "oh, but I don't use those! I didn't enable them!" Check again... they add them without telling you.

Stop using Tangia. They hate artists.

nuremberg 2.0 needs to end with the assets of all those guards seized and handed over to their victims

Also people should be aware that retailers have been seeing some fuckery by speculators scalping recent runs and if you know anything about that industry - that is not a good thing
