Oh my god, I’m so sick of saying this, THAT’S NOT HOW THE FUCKING FIRST AMENDMENT WORKS.

Kotaku and their cancer titles....

Does Rich Nichols think the US Soccer Federation is a branch of the government?

All elite athletes are genetic anomalies, but this is the only one being singled out

So if Bolt starts identifying as a woman you’d let him race against the women?

You do realize that if Semenya’s brain chemistry made her identify as male this would never be an issue right? It’s because elite female atheltes do not perform at the same level as their male counterparts. That’s a physiological fact of life. Compare the mens and women’s world records at any event (whose dominant…

This is a complicated and fraught topic, one that deserves a more thoughtful take than the one offered by Ms. Moskovitz. This is not about some cruel effort by men to define and control women’s bodies, as she glibly asserts. It’s about trying to create an environment where women have a chance to compete and succeed,…

There’s a simple solution: get rid of gendered events at the Olympics. Done.

If we are going to hold two separate events for men and women, then we have to have some distinct dividing line between who is “a man” and who is “a woman.” It may not be fair to everyone, but you do have to draw a line somewhere.

*yawn*

I don’t think the good doctor downplayed the possibility of her commiting suicide, it seems more like an assurance that if she DID commit suicide, it would not be his fault.

No snark, Hannah Storm handles these unfortunate and unenviable reports with aplomb, striking just the right balance of professionalism and humanism.

How is Lilly King “hypocritical” or “disingenuous” if she swims clean and agrees that Justin Gatlin deserves a permanent ban? Try blowing the dust off a dictionary and read the definitions of those two words. She may be naive, and if you want to call her an asshole, fine, your opinion... but the rest of your judgment…

I’m not saying Trump isn’t racist! I’m just saying it’s a sad time in history now that racism is generally considered a bad thing.

I didn’t say it wasn’t relevant. I said it wasn’t pop. It has been around for nearly half a century and is still considered relevant.

Because they sold 25000% of the play to investors. If the play makes a thousand dollars in profit, the producers would owe the investors a total of 25 million dollars; if the play makes a million dollars, they’d owe the investors 25 billion dollars, and so on. Pretty soon questions would get asked, the police would…

I know the base will stick with him through almost anything but scared old white people don’t have enough votes to get him in office. IIRC he’d need something like 70-80% of white voters and even then it’d be cutting very close. And as bad as we white males are sometimes, there are enough sane ones who are appalled to…

This is the candidate you have the luxury of nominating when you have no chance of winning the election. And it’s candidate you have the luxury of voting for when you know the fallout of a Trump presidency will land primarily outside of your comfy upper-middle-class progressive bubble.

I feel like this is a safe space for me to rail against the Green Party (and all “third” parties in the U.S.) for a second.
