Pete Hegseth accidentally flipping a skateboard into his nuts on live TV

streaming platforms have robbed us of the randomness that used to be both an essential property of tv watching and a quality that mitigated its addictiveness somewhat. we were wholly beholden to whatever happened to be on! if we didn’t like any of it we were obligated to go do something else!

reading the poem “the race” by dh groberg and sipping a crisp diet dr. pepper

What should the long-term/post Tobi plan at the four spot be? See how Holland progresses? Plug Ausar in there? Stew? Explore a trade/FA in the next year? Do Robinson and LeVert’s signings add flexibility or is a new four still worth a discussion? Love the show!

We Finally Know How Much It Cost to Train China's Astonishing DeepSeek Model It's a little bit more than pocket change, but just a little.

it was $294,000 and 512 Nvidia H800 chips. AI companies are so cooked lmao

I wrote an essay earlier this year and have been sitting on it for a while now. In light of the news yesterday, now feels like a good time to post it. Give it a read if you wish: substack.com/home/post/p-...

#violence #antiviolence #politics

i just feel like it's either laziness or discrimination at this point. how hard would it be for other sports to create "open" and "women" divisions? sure sports can be about glory and power but it can also be about folks being a part of a team/community

4/4

A screenshot with text that reads the following: The Policy for Competitive Activity covers all British Cycling-sanctioned competitive events. It will see the implementation of an ‘Open’ category alongside a ‘Female’ category. This means that the current men’s category will be consolidated into the ‘Open’ category. Transgender women, transgender men, non-binary individuals and those whose sex was assigned male at birth will be eligible to compete in the ‘Open’ category. The ‘Female’ category will remain in place for those whose sex was assigned female at birth and transgender men who are yet to begin hormone therapy. At this stage, they will be eligible to compete in the ‘Open’ category only, and should ensure that they continue to adhere to the requirements of UK Anti-Doping. Those whose sex was assigned female at birth are also able to compete in the ‘Open’ category if they so wish.

A screenshot of text that reads: Sports should be for everyone to participate in, and there’s no way to make elite competition entirely fair for everyone. I am lucky that I get to row multiple times a week on possibly the nicest body of water in the country, and that affords me opportunities most clubs could only dream of. That advantage is solely based on where I live and not my transition journey. I just wish people understood how many factors go into the margins for elite success. Wherever you are, just know you’ve got me in your corner for any sport you want to pick up.

A screenshot of text that reads: Cahn, the historian, says that part of the reason the measures to ban trans women and girls from women’s and girls’ sports have gotten traction is because “there is sort of a common sense response” to people who are born male competing in women’s and girls’ sports. “On average they are stronger. They are bigger and faster,” Cahn says. Some research, however, is inconclusive. A 2017 review published in Sports Medicine found “no direct or consistent research” to suggest that transgender female individuals have an athletic advantage at any stage of their transition. “Therefore, competitive sport policies that place restrictions on transgender people need to be considered and potentially revised,” the review found. Cahn agrees, saying a more nuanced policy – not a ban – is needed to address any competitive advantages that athletes who were born male may have over those who were born female. She says she thought the NCAA had it right when it required trans athletes to undergo a year of hormone therapy before they could compete on women’s teams.

couple of interesting reads on the subject. the first image is from the british cycling association's website. the other images are from issues of "Diverse: Issues in Higher Education" and "The Nation."

3/4

like should we apply this logic to other sports? is it unfair to the rest of the nba that victor wembanyama is 7'3? surely that's a larger competitive advantage than a trans woman who has been on hormone therapy for a prolonged period

2/4

i just feel like i have yet to see an argument regarding trans women in sports that doesn't devolve into something something eugenics

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

photoshopped image of the coldplay couple but it’s john redcorn and nancy from king of the hill

saw this online and buddy i HOWLED

is there a movement already for intentionally feeding ai chatbots bad information?

#artificialintelligence #ai

Regardless of how one feels about the Catholic Church or about Pope Francis, now is a time to come together to claim that JD Vance killed him

My hottest take is that people should have to pass some type of psychological test to own a dog

No one told me that the biggest change i would have living around more white people is drama around how they manage (or dont manage) their dogs.

Vice President texting the group, "chat are we cooked"

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.

Tunes for the week of February 3 A dope philosopher I have come across, a potential new way forward for social media that doesn't suck and divide us, trying to be more emo-ish, and of course, some songs.

if this stands and/or goes unpunished, the constitutional order is effectively over. are the democrats interested in protecting democracy or are they happy to be the govt equivalent of the token lib on a fox news panel?

Is there a word for when a bunch of private citizens following orders from an unelected billionaire occupy government buildings and cut off communications

This is the worst one. I've seen lots of bad RFK videos but this is the worst.

I don't know what is more awful, the fact that the guy who might run HHS is casually talking about his belief in eugenics or that he won't look her in the eye when he pitches this racist madness

We will only sell books by humans, for humans.

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you.

Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

he/they i am scared and sad about what is happening in this country, but i am going to continue to write and be myself as best as i can be

i wrote some words about my relationship with my gender #promosky #writing #art #queer

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.
