First, an important note. I’ve been told that this piece will be free to read for 24 hours, but will then go behind the paywall. Best I could do. If you’re not a subscriber and this is useful to you or your loved ones, I’d suggest saving a copy ASAP. 2/ https://t.co/oFWb6Fl0rs

Give a Fella a pig fish...

All the people spreading hate in the #discgolf community at Reddit, Youtube comments, twitter, elsewhere, should listen to this interview from Paige. Look at yourself in the mirror and think about what you are doing.

[John O'Leary @OLjohnel]

Perhaps I'll find out if twitter regains any of its former utility. "twitter search" "search" #twittersearch

Also difficult to see past the cruelty of creating a pseudo-exception for transition prior to puberty while states ban the treatment. @DiscGolfProTour would do well to revert to the previous FPO/MPO standards and grow the sport instead of excluding certain people from it.

[John O'Leary @OLjohnel]

Disappointed @DiscGolfProTour recently contorted their FPO/MPO eligibility criteria to exclude Natalie Ryan. It's difficult to see past the absurdity of a professional sport that doesn't monitor performance enhancing drugs attempting to enforce multi-year hormone level criteria.

Here's a gif showing a series of USGS Shakemap intensity layers to illustrate how the four largest quakes were situated in time and space.

[John O'Leary @OLjohnel]

Confused about earthquakes in Turkey? Third HUGE shallow quake occurred just about 2 hours ago. It would have been devastating enough on its own.
I'll leave it to the seismologists to say whether an aftershock or not, but clearly there are a lot of them and some are very strong.

[John O'Leary @OLjohnel]

It's always been easy for me to dismiss the geologically absurd notion of California falling into the sea. Less absurd may be far too much of it washing into the sea.
