While the mushers are (mostly) doing their mandatory 24 hour rests, it's a good time to check out the #Igivearod and help some charities and schools along the trail. We're up to almost $3,000 raised in just over 3 days of race time! Lots of room to grow! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Oksana Masters secures 20th Paralympic medal with 7.5km gold, Kendall Gretsch takes silver Oksana Masters reached a historic milestone, capturing her 20th career Paralympic medal with gold in the women's 7.5km biathlon sitting race, while teammate Kendall Gretsch took silver.

TWENTY. MEDALS. ACROSS. FOUR. SPORTS.

Autistic girls much less likely to be diagnosed, study says By age 20 diagnosis rates for men and women almost equal, research finds, challenging assumptions of gender discrepancy

Something to take into account on #InternationalWomensDay: Females may be just as likely to be autistic as males but boys are up to four times more likely to be diagnosed in childhood, according to a large-scale study. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.

If you're thinking about the BAFTA situation and trying to navigate the intersection of Disability, Race, and systemic rather than merely individual anti-blackness, I highly recommend watching this video (part two as well), from @jumaane.bsky.social D. Williams.

Girls Who Love Boys Who Love Boys When did everyone start fujoing out?

This is a very, very good feature by E. Alex Jung on fanfiction, fujoshis and the Heated Rivalry phenomenon: www.vulture.com/article/heat...

Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

Texas Universities Going All In On Censorship And Anti-DEI Policies The racism and disrespect are real in Texas, as the University of Texas adopted policies rooted in anti-Blackness and authoritarian control.

“The people who claim kids are being indoctrinated in school are the same people who only want one narrative taught about gender, race, U.S. history…” said Colton Llenos, a UH graduate. “To them, simple exposure to other forms of thinking counts as indoctrination.” 🔥

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”.

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed.

This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year.

They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls

Could Leech Facials Help Cure My Phobia of Them? I’m terrified of leeches, but desperate to stop avoiding lakes. So I called a leech therapist, learned what a leech facial actually involves, and discovered that exposure therapy isn’t always what you expect.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

In honor of Black History Month, here's a thread with one book recommendation a day.

Weird!

They're Coming for Our Daughters The conservative plan to shrink girls’ futures

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

A UW-Madison historian's work became a key feature of Bad Bunny's new album. Here's how Jorell Meléndez-Badillo, an assistant history professor at UW-Madison, is the brains behind the visualizers for Bad Bunny's hit new album.

Check out this article from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

A UW-Madison historian's work became a key feature of Bad Bunny's new album. Here's how

www.jsonline.com/story/entert...

The implication that Bad Bunny is not a natural born citizen because of language and appearance is a sign of our constitutional and moral decay.

Bad Bunny wearing tinted dark red glasses with gold frames, hair gelled looking quite handsome! White shirt and tan tie.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

"if we abolish ICE how will we handle undocumented immigrants" well I'm ineligible to run for office for so, so many reasons but I've got a step-by-step plan for anyone who needs it:

Crackdown Writing through history and heartbreak.

I’m struggling with how to promote this one, so I’ll just say I hope you read it and that it makes you feel less alone.

Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether. "We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
