Been loving @thepwhl.com — especially how all the games are free on YouTube! — and find some of their experimental rules should make their way into the NHL.
But why does the rule book correct all of the “linesperson” and “too many women” gendered references *except* “unsportsmanlike conduct”?

The fun part is denying Texas’s redistricting isn’t altering the election rules, it’s the status quo.

Aside from whether or not a transgender grad student can’t teach because of “mental illness” (no, next Q?) …
… I’d point out that depending on your study, 1/3 to 1/2 of PhDs have actual mental illness, and transgender panic distracts from that crisis.

Okay, after we all get done laughing, can we all take a moment to reflect on how bad OPSEC this is from Secretary “Clean on OPSEC”?
You’re not supposed to name it anything that reflects what the operation actually is doing. Or do we not read “The Art of Naming Operations” at War College anymore?

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

To be clear, when I suggest that people sign up to be election pollworkers, I'm not trying to be flippant. I'm dead serious. It's a vital civic service where you help your neighbors vote. And you learn an absolute *ton* about how elections actually work, as well as meet the officials who run them.
