Heinrich Himmler begs liberal politicians to "please stop" demonizing SS men

Always shocked to learn people don't know this: you do not have to give your ID to a cop if you're not under arrest, and furthermore if for whatever reason you have a fake ID, it's an especially bad idea to do so

One of my most infuriating medical experiences was when I had 4 plantar warts and removing them was only partially covered by insurance (UHC lol) so each of the 6 or so treatments cost $200-500. Should I send a photo of the warts to every Republican who thinks a $1000 yearly HSA is enough y/n

I make this announcement periodically, as the heir to a multigenerational pie-baking legacy, regarding what may be my hottest cooking take: BUTTER CRUSTS ARE OVERRATED. The amount of flavor butter adds is not worth either the difficulty or the textural tradeoff

The year is 2266. The internet no longer exists. None still live who remember what a "mall" is, nor "American Thanksgiving." The tribespeople still gather once a year for the ancient rite known as Til Death Do Us Blart

Whatever Laura Loomer has done to her face is the equivalent of when guys in their 20s start taking steroids and it just makes them look 10 years older

I'm so goddamn proud of us tonight. The fascists have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend trying to convince women's sports fans that exclusion will protect us, but we know better, and we're building a grassroots movement to prove it

The streak continues
The stats are clear: Gotham has never lost a championship after signing Katie Stengel mid-season and having her score a game-winner in the playoffs

Damn turns out it's not impossible to both make a factual correction about a player's gender and say you stand with trans people
The Black Women’s Player Collective has dropped a statement as well this morning on their Instagram in light of the recent comments made this week.

Quick release another statement about how all the players are afab
48 hours before the playoffs kickoff. FUCK. OFF.

I have so much respect for the @nwslplayers.bsky.social but to me this misses the point. The issue isn't that the attacks on specific NWSL players are factually incorrect (they are); it's that the hysteria and bigotry around trans, intersex, and gender nonconforming athletes hurts all women
Inbox: NWSLPA Releases statement condemning attacks on players

"We stand firmly with all our members - including, and especially, the African women who have been targeted by divisive and demeaning rhetoric”

@nwslsoccer.com what are you going to do to protect your players?
About to pop into an appointment, but a quick update:

No Elizabeth Eddy, but Fox News ran a segment with Jennifer Sey, founder of the transphobic organization xx-xy, who said “the NWSL has several males I. The league… including their best player, Barbra Banda.”

She had ONE game left on her contract. She could have ridden off into the sunset with the trophies her teammates won for her and had a nice life. And instead she chose this
Fox News has picked up Elizabeth Eddy’s column, and the response from the Angel City players.

I’m hearing Eddy will appear on Fox and Friends tomorrow morning.

They have to allow this goal, there's no other appropriate end to this miserable season
November 3, 2025 at 12:21 AM
On the one hand this review is kind of unhinged but on the other, Jun Endo never got justice for her disallowed goal in game 1 of 2023 which is perhaps when it all started to go bad for Angel City

:')
for those not on x, here is Sarah Gordon and Angelina Anderson’s statement, they do speak for the team, and the team says trans folks belong

We call on Angel City FC to be clear in the steps they are taking to ensure a safe and inclusive space for ALL players and to directly address the hateful rhetoric recently published by Elizabeth Eddy.

Deeply disappointed in Liz Eddy here, who I've always liked and respected. A reminder that we have a lot of work to do when it comes to educating the public about why trans inclusion isn't just morally correct, but competitively sound share.google/Gjf9a1Sl01eL...
National Women’s Soccer League must adopt gender standards to keep growing
