Okay, let's talk about this ridiculous talking point that some conservative men love to use, subsequently betraying their complete ignorance on our military draft.

Claiming the draft is to men like abortion is to women is ludicrous for three big reasons.

We often hear there can't be doping in football 'because it's a skill game' but being able to perform as skillfully in the 80th minute as in the 5th is a huge advantage as is being able to run as fast in the second half as in the first.

Football has a long history of doping.

@anndeejam There are often real issues with transportation of poles. Many athletes have stories of poles being cut up by customs, or being put on seperate flights and not arriving until after the competition was over.

If only there was a song that commented on the inherent racist nature of the police.

Rage-inducing. Just awful.

7 years ago, I wrote a small piece about a man who was falsely accused of a crime.

A few days later, I got an anonymous telling me to look up the woman they called “the evilest white woman on earth.”

What happened next is the absolute wildest story you’ll ever hear

But they're BOTH so OLD! Gandalf can barely remember his passwords and even forgot that people called him Gandalf (yikes), while Saruman betrayed the Free Peoples of middle-earth and led an insurrection that stormed Helm's Deep. You can see how they're equally bad choices.

@VicAthLeague Isn’t that Alex on top?

@VicAthLeague I think that’s Brad Hunt on top

@FlurpityF7704 @AshleyLeahy I’d be genuinely surprised if his family wants to spend any more time with him than they are already forced to now.

1. At age 10, all boys have their vas deferens severed.
2. After age 25, the vasectomy can be reversed at any time if a woman agrees to have a child with him.
3. After the birth, he has another vasectomy.

Oh, too extreme? Great, then fuck off with your laws about women’s bodies.

if you think Jason Kelce going bonkers at a football game is cool, but are annoyed by Taylor Swift cheering, you might just hate women

“I’m alone and scared.”
“Where is my mom?”
“I want to live.”

The last words of Yenifer Alvarez-Estrada.

In Yeni’s 7th week of pregnancy, her health began to deteriorate rapidly.

You see, Yeni was already at high risk for complications due to her pre-morbid conditions of hypertension; diabetes; and pulmonary edema.

At 7 weeks she presented to a Catholic Hospital with trouble breathing.

She was eventually transferred to an OBGYN who noted Yeni was at risk for having a heart attack or stroke.

No doctor even suggested terminating the pregnancy even though Yeni was becoming progressively worse as the pregnancy went on.

Yeni was finally transferred to a larger hospital. Again, it was never suggested that the pregnancy be terminated.

Yeni died at 29 years old because options were never given. Yeni was never given a choice.

Her medical report noted.

“High risk for clinical decompensation/death.”

Texas failed Yeni, definitely because she was a woman but also because of her name - Yenifer Alvarez-Estrada.

I’m going to leave this here for all you women who voted for Republicans like your gross husbands.

I’m going to leave this here for all you fucking fools that might vote third party.

I’m going to leave this here for all you “Blacks for Trump.”

For all you fake Christians.

I want to tell you a story about body cameras and *Derek Chauvin*

What Chauvin did to George Floyd, kneeling on his neck, was his move.

He had done to others.

It was all recorded by body cams.

But the footage was kept secret.

And Chauvin was left unpunished

1. As always, the best reporting on Covid-19 is to be found in the financial press.

'The last big finding was that in some people with long Covid, other latent viruses — things like Epstein Barr virus that go dormant, but don’t disappear — were...

I’ll be happy when I become a resident, it’ll make all this studying worth it

I’ll be happy when I am an attending… that will solve my burnout

It’ll be happy when I buy a house… or car… or…

This is called an arrival fallacy, and it’s a big problem for a lot of doctors

Bairstow st Carey eh?

[The Spence @adambspencer]

With respect @philsenior77

1. Bairstow a keeper should know the rules
2. Bairstow a keeper tried exactly this twice this very test - couldn’t hit the stumps
3. McCullum a keeper once ran Murali when he walked up the pitch to congratulate a century maker

The hypocrisy is galling
