Trans athletes playing in single-sex sport teams - ABC listen A common concern is that transgender women might have an advantage in single-sex teams due to their physical strength and size, but is there research to support this?

Kristi Noem says “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained."

Tell that to George Retes. This U.S. Army veteran and American citizen was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by ICE while simply trying to get to work.

In the aftermath of #robodebt, Jay Coonan @antipovertycentre.org said instead of "changing the narrative", the government was contributing to "further demonising welfare recipients".

The Albanese govt's first priority should be to fix its dodgy and illegal payment suspensions system - #robodole.

Loved AC back in the day. Bought AC2, but it didn't last long.
Have 2000+ hrs on NW. It was troubled from the outset, but incredibly fun. The combat was fun, graphics were good, soundscape was awesome. But if you didn't pvp, there was no endgame. Mind you, even if you did pvp, there was no endgame.

Amazon has effectively shuttered New World ,repeating a play made by Microsoft with Asheron’s Call 2 nearly 20 years ago.

So what’s next?

Did New World fail to deliver, or did a governance structure resistant to risk paralyze a promising product?

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

On second thought,

The next administration should turn the east wing into the “White House Prison” and then incarcerate Trump and his cabinet for every American to come, view, and humiliate !!

On October 30, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois, ICE GOONS Backs into a U.S. citizen’s car and subsequently arrests her for documenting their actions.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.
