@DanDodds3 @TheoMoudakis @TorontoStar Because Alberta's good at hockey, and hockey is now right-coded. They will sell out their dearest traditions 🥲

@veekeyoluwasola @creativeburne It's like Dizzy Dean said, it ain't bragging if you can do it.

[Frasier Payne @MeinGottNiles]

Unrelated but this guy made his money buying up all the innovative 90s educational software companies (creators of Reader Rabbit, Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego, et al), completely gutting them, and then selling their husks to Mattel.
He singlehandedly destroyed that sector.

@Porkchop_EXP When cooperation wasnt necessary to make land relatively productive for subsistence, societies could just prioritize excluding other individuals or groups from accessing resources (or existing in the first place).

[Dougald @Ralph_i_el]

@Porkchop_EXP Think about how this impacts everything about human development. The only way to have civilization prosper in northern latitudes was to develop systems that overall grew more efficient when more people were integrated into said system.

3/ An uber-wealthy ordained holistic minister and part-time clairsentient/clairvoyant medium verbally accosts a pair of teens (at Climate Pledge Arena) b/c they believe in sex-segregated sports. She tells them she hopes Jesus can forgive them for this.

AMERICA IS ALREADY GREAT.

@ayeshadequeiroz @jessesingal >exploits others to do her advertising.

So like, most advertising? The hyperbolics 🙄

2/ "As a clairsentient and clairvoyant, my main divination modality is through reading Tarot cards & by empathically tuning in to the Client." (All via LinkedIn.)

This is just a *deeeeeeply* 2026-America story, when you think about it. In summary:

1/ Maybe the Seattleiest, richlibbiest Seattle richlib story ever. Keaton's actually the long-time partner of Storm coowner Lisa Brummel (est. 9-figure net worth). Keaton is a "Feng Shui & Intuitive Consultant" and an "ordained holistic minister." Don't worry, there's more:

“Only males D1 or better can beat WNBA players” - Clueless account on here

We have footage of 6’9” WNBA all star Liz Cambage talking trash & challenging a former D3 5’8 male player & getting absolutely COOKED 🔥

Women can’t compete with men, stop it ✌️

@DontizzleJones >don't get to not talk about reality

I almost spit up my drink. REALITY? You have some (metaphorical) balls.

I'm supposed to play make-believe to humor people with severe mental delusions? Come on, let's talk reality 🙄

[Dougald @Ralph_i_el]

@DC_5KINS @IrateSocrates The only impact is pissing off a tiny number of extremely online people.

The WNBA players and their union would never allow a transwoman in the league. Cunningham's opinion isnt out of step with the rest of the league. Players dont want their lib/LGBTQ bonifides taken away.

[Dougald @Ralph_i_el]

@DC_5KINS What fvckin "thin ice" are we talking about here? Are there Trans commissars going around doing struggle sessions. Shatdafuckup

[Dougald @Ralph_i_el]

@NewPerspectives @JimWalshLD19 ^Anarchist scum^

Disregard

[Dougald @Ralph_i_el]

@YaGirlJiggy @Pogojar They would never let a transwoman play in the W, and you KNOW this. That should be the end right there. None of these girls want to talk about it, because they know you schizos will pull their lib cards over it. Cunningham doesn't care, because she's already mud with yall.

[Dougald @Ralph_i_el]

@actingliketommy @Selene_Mariposa >create this nonsense

Why are libs never responsible for their own actions? In your opinion, it is reasonable to chimp out over a t-shirt?

[Selene Mariposa @Selene_Mariposa]

Teenage girls went to a basketball game in my backyard(Seattle) wearing t-shirts.

According to journalist Brandi Kruse, who was there, they were cussed at, berated and deliberately tripped by adults. By fans. Reportedly with a team owner in the vicinity.

For wearing a shirt.

And here is the part that should stop everyone cold. The shirt said XX and XY. That is the female karyotype and the male karyotype. It is what is printed in every biology textbook in every classroom in this country. Rare chromosomal disorders exist and produce no third sex, because there is no third gamete. There never has been.

They were tripped over a fact you learn in ninth grade.

The Storm have said nothing. The WNBA has said nothing. A league that markets itself relentlessly on love, inclusion and belonging watched grown adults go after teenage girls in its own building, and could not locate a statement.

Imagine the press release if those girls had worn anything else.

They were there to support Sophie Cunningham, who said she believes girls should not have to compete against males, and that she offers truth alongside love, not hate. They held signs saying thank you for speaking up for girls.

That is what earned them a foot in the aisle.

I live here, and I am done pretending I do not recognize the pattern, because it is the same attitude that is killing this city.

City leadership that treats the businesses employing our neighbors as the enemy. Open drug use on sidewalks where children walk to school. A homelessness crisis everyone can see and nobody in power will honestly name. Every one of those is a problem you fix by looking straight at reality, and this is a city that has made not looking into a civic religion.

Compassion is the branding. Conformity is the product. Agree and you are family. Step half an inch outside the consensus and the warmth evaporates fast enough to give you whiplash.

Seattle used to be the most beautiful place I had ever lived. It is being run into the ground by a fringe that mistakes volume for virtue, and the ordinary people who live here are paying for it.

But there is no version of this where adults tripping teenage girls is the righteous side of anything.

If your movement requires shoving fourteen year olds over a chromosome chart, you have lost the argument and you are simply angry about it.

And a housekeeping note for the franchise. You are 6 and 23. Dead last. The worst record in professional women's basketball.

Maybe spend less energy policing what teenagers wear to the arena and more on the part where you cannot win a game.

Say something, Seattle. Those were somebody's kids. 🦋
