something went wrong

hahahaha. David Sacks is the whiniest little bitch of them all. they idea of him criticizing anyone for hysteria is so absurd.

maybe it's not a coincidence

Did Elon Musk turn off X so we can't discuss the stock market meltdown?

It's pretty rare. Usually it's in sports where there is not womens category (e.g. football, baseball) but occaisionally at schools where there is no womens team in a particular sport. Still, we're talking about a handful of people.

There are very few sports where women can consistently beat men and they are usually open to them—ultra-marathon running, equestrian sports, motorsports, collegiate shooting sports. NCAA rules do not explicitly ban women from mens sports and women have competed when no womens team exists.

Gavin Newsom is right. Men in women's sports is unfair. Newsome's view aligns with not just the majority of Americans but the majority (2/3) of Democrats.

isn't this sort of "by any means necessary" mentality the exact same thing we've seen in Hamasniks, J6ers and Antifa??

Yale’s “Integrity Project” Is Spreading Misinformation About The Cass Review And Youth Gender Medicine: Part 3 This was all really, really bad

Everyone cancel your New Year's Eve plans: I've written 7,000+ more words about the Yale Law School Integrity Project's influential white paper, "An Evidence-Based Critique of 'The Cass Review' on Gender-affirming Care for Adolescent Gender Dysphoria"

Jesse Singal: Bluesky Has a Death Threat Problem It was supposed to be a gentler, left-wing alternative to X. My grim experience proves that just isn’t the case.

Or we could just cut $89 off the roughly $15k we spend on every medicare beneficiary, fund PEPFAR and likely have zero impact on their health

I’m deadly serious.

You’re so stingy with the follow backs, I might just have to hunt you down. Tonight.

This is a horrible analogy. There has been actual institutional capture by extremists in the United States—but it is the transgender activists that have led it. It is doing real damage. Ignoring this is the real disservice to the transgender community.

It insane that @bsky.app is labeling this as "intolerance." A very bad sign for the future of this app's approach to content moderation.

Trans activist and Harvard Law School clinical instructor Alejandra Caraballo figures out how press embargoes work. As far as I know, three of us knew about this lawsuit in advance, not including anyone at NYT.

I get the sense that folks here at blueskie don't want you to know how one of the most famous doctors in the world of gender clinics pushed a vulnerable adolescent into medical transitioning. @jessesingal.com wrote about it in the @economist.com.

...until I think about the places where petroleum engineers actually work and, no thanks, I don't want to live there.

But with the tech bust that came in 2000–01 and the exploding oil price after 9/11, sometimes I wonder what could have been...

Being in Austin and with oil prices low in the mid-90s, I skipped the oil patch and went into technology. It seemed smart at the time.

One of the courses that really sticks in my mind for its difficult was (at the time called) "Transport Phenomena in Permeable Media." If you love the combination of "thermodynamics" and "unseeable stuff buried thousands of feet under the ground," then this was the course for you.

Field Experiences - Jackson School of Geosciences Fieldwork is an integral part of the Jackson School undergraduate experience, from Introduction to Geology to our cornerstone summer field courses. While other earth science...

Petroleum engineers take a fair amount of geology and that means... field trips!

Mud is really important in drilling. It is THE thing that keeps every well from becoming the Deepwater Horizon. We have a whole semester-long lab devoted to mud. Here someone gives a tour of their school's mud lab:

Here's a little known fact about me. I studied petroleum engineering and spent a summer working for Schlumberger in Alaska where, among other things, I fracked oil wells.

It's pretty easy to give the feds jurisdiction without crossing state lines just by using a phone or app. Even though sex with a 17 year-old is legal in most states, it's a bad idea. Also, If your sexual adventures require studying this, you're definitely a creep:

I assume it was Florida but federal law, of course, considers everyone under 18 to be a minor.
