@reporterporter Do you know if something changed to allow a 6-person population to hold its own election? A few years ago, Dixville Notch was on the verge of not being able to hold its own election after the population dipped below 7.

@NicoleHaase In New Hampshire, you 1) don't need a permit to carry a concealed weapon and 2) state law requires that voters be allowed to carry a firearm to their polling site, even if that polling site is a school.

🙃

So, yeah, most school boards opt to close schools for the day.

If we’re gonna talk about aesthetics, maybe pick an easier to read font.

Jokes aside, this is more than a visual problem. Players have gotten seriously injured in San Diego. Weather and too many tenants should have been taken into consideration when it was being built.

[Alex Azzi @ByAlexAzzi]

@nrarmour The number of age group results too?

The sanctity of the 60-65 masters category at this indoor rowing competition must be preserved!! The future of women’s sports depends on it!!

🤦🏼‍♀️

I cannot emphasize enough how much of this database is dedicated to disc golf.

[Alex Azzi @ByAlexAzzi]

So much misinformation here. Let's clear a few things up:

This "stat" isn't from an independent UN study. It's from a website where people can submit grievances against athletes they believe are trans.

The result? A database of grievances over local disc golf tourneys.

[Laura Woods @laura_woodsy]

Crazy discussion in the House of Lords around women’s sport. @Baronessjenkin highlighted a UN study published in August calculated: "By March this year over 600 female athletes in more than 400 events were defeated by trans-identifying males who took a total of 890 medals."

[Alex Azzi @ByAlexAzzi]

The "stat" -- which again, is mostly grievances over local disc golf tourneys -- was submitted to the UN, and the UN special rapporteur added it to a report... with zero context.

That's really (really!) different than the UN doing a study on a topic.

I’m crying 😂😂😂 okay twin!! The way she ATE

[Alex Azzi @ByAlexAzzi]

@DaniellexActon Idk she never misses on the "Mary got chased down the street by a vicious neighbor dog" streak!!

[Rose Lavelle @roselavelle]

12 yrs ago today Mary got chased down the street by a vicious neighbor dog & to this day it is still the funniest thing I have ever witnessed

[Alex Azzi @ByAlexAzzi]

Speaking of factchecking dog birthdays ...

Now I can't stop thinking about the time Ryan Lochte wished his dog a happy 8th birthday ... three years in a row.

Let it be known that I did research to confirm that, yes, Wilma was indeed born before Rose Lavelle's first USWNT cap.

No surgery is required and a full recovery is expected. https://t.co/4fXdMvT95N

Congrats on 100 caps, Wilma! @roselavelle

I had some thoughts following the letter co-signed by women's players to FIFA objecting Saudi Aramco's partnership and sponsorship of the game.
My latest for @cbcsports

The PWHL Washington D.C. account is still just casually hanging out, quietly looking for work ...

USATF is taking over the Paralympic program, becoming the 17th NGB to run Olympic and Paralympic sports domestically.

. @E_Williams_1, center for the @chicagosky & secretary for @TheWNBPA, on why the union chose to opt out of the current CBA & the top priorities for the next CBA, plus the standard that players expect from journalists covering the WNBA.
