we need to come together and ensure that @jd-vance-1.bsky.social is the most blocked account on bluesky

I love your account.

If you haven't already, I'd ask you to try listening to Nebraska.

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Mike Trout is now tied for the league lead with SIX home runs 😳

Hope it was worth it to stop a few of us from peeing.

Duane Puryear holding the AIDS quilt panel he completed before his death. It reads "MY NAME IS DUANE KEARNS PURYEAR. I WAS BORN ON DECEMBER 20, 1964. I WAS DIAGONISED WITH AIDS ON SEPTEMBER 7, 1987 AT 4:45 PM. I WAS 22 YEARS OLD. SOMETIMES, IT MAKES ME VERY SAD. I MADE THIS PANEL MYSELF. IF YOU ARE READING IT. I AM DEAD..."

Every time some elected democrat sucks off Reagan, I think about Duane.

What gives you the impression that the other 29 owners would approve abandoning one of the largest media markets for Vegas instead of inevitably selling an expansion team there to the highest bidder?

Thank you Tim and Gregg.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Re: Five activities this week

As a regional OSHA lead, this week I inspected a local Chocolate Factory and found:

1. Slave labor
2. An open chocolate river with no guardrails
3. Improper waste disposal
4. Experimental products lacking FDA approval
5. Unsafe elevator for employees

Vance and Musk Attack German Consensus on Nazis and Speech Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk have challenged decades-long approaches to political extremism that were designed to prevent another Hitler.

European friends: Do not accept lectures on democracy & freedom of speech from an Administration that denies the 2020 election results and is now suing & intimidating news outlets whose reporting they don’t like.

Stand tall against right-wing extremism.

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.”

The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Altars of Madness 👍🏻

Everyone plays the #Lakers like it’s game 7 of the Finals and Rob gave JJ 6 NBA players (one of which he lucked out drafting) and said good luck. He has to go.

Going into an AA meeting, raising my hand, and explaining that I have become the Secretary of Defense.

I think a much less extreme approach though would be to just call moving screens far more aggressively. Threes are often open because of illegal screens, and it’s harder to hit them when they’re contested.

In baseball terms, the huge 3 volume style is starting to feel to me like the shift. It's not that it's strategically wrong to do, it just changes the character of the game in a way I don't find positive.
