I think the Brewers are really good and I have admired that there is a big element of Annoying Magic to their goodness, but man when it is not working it sure looks a lot like guys with .720 OPS'es grounding out.

My independent reporting has also confirmed this story.

Me asking Jeff Sullivan – really, a prince of a guy – to borrow some money. He graciously agrees. (I need about $100K, but I'm working up to that.)

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

People talk about getting the owner to spend money as a skill, and while he doesn't have that skill, he definitely has the 'keep your boss happy and keep a hard job to hold onto' skill

I like Danny Devito and generally find the Jersey Mike's commercials inoffensive, but that guy is literally 80 years old! Is there nothing better he could be doing with his time

(silently mouthing the words to myself) there are too many protesters abusing their right to protest

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 2d

Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson's full statement, in which she says she will sign an EO permitting protest "only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street," is up on the village's website.

"There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest," Thompson says.

Image text:

Broadview Shrinks Protest Safety Zones

The following statement can be attributed to Village of Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson:

“The protests at the ICE facility on Saturday night degenerated into chaos. There were 15 arrests, and 10 of those were around the age of my own daughter. As a mother and a mayor, I am mad. Broadview didn’t choose to have the ICE facility in our community. But it’s here. And so are Broadview residents. There are too many protesters abusing their right to protest. Too many are raising their fists rather than their voices, creating chaos at the expense of the people who call Broadview home. Broadview residents lack the protestors’ privilege to return to calm, quiet neighborhoods for undisturbed rest.

Therefore, I have issued a new executive order, in consultation with the Illinois State Police and Cook County Sheriff, that permits protests only at the safety zone located at the ICE facility on Beach Street.

There will no longer be a designated protest safety zone at 2000 South 25th Avenue between Lexington and Fillmore.

Additionally, it has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street. This new
measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.

As I have repeatedly said, I respect, support, and defend the protesters’ free and – peaceful – speech against the outrageous injustices and deplorable unprovoked chemical arms attacks by ICE agents against American citizens, journalists, and ministers that put Broadview police and firefighters in harms’ way.

Nevertheless, my first priority is to defend public safety and the residents who live here and people who work here. They deserve stability, safety, and respect, a quality of life that is currently being denied to them. They deserve the love and kindness that they expect by being Broadview residents.”

Hyperandrogenism: when you're too masculine for the norm
Iatropic: when your state is caused by treatment

What Leor is saying here is that if you put a trans man on testosterone, he will look more like a man than the average cis woman, and that this will be caused by the testosterone he's taking.

@LeorSapir
There is a caveat to this.

When adolescents without physical pathology are given puberty blockers (GnRHa) or cross-sex hormones at levels recommended by the Endocrine Society for purposes of gender transition, they are likely to develop endocrine disorders.

For example, using GnRHa leads to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, which can have adverse impacts on physical development.

If an endocrinologist prescribes testosterone to a teen girl far outside the reference range that is normal for females of her age, he will be putting her in a state of iatrogenic hyperandrogenism--an endocrine disorder.
