The Pro Bowl is the most overrated sports event by a mile. Anyone who loves football has at some point paused and asked themselves: "No one in this game is going 100% because of injury risk. The selection to get here is flawed. The game itself doesn't count. Why am I watching?"
The Pro Bowl is the professional sports equivalent of "Who's Line is it, Anyway?"
If you wanna see athletes actually try for something that counts, the U.S. Figure Skating Championships are live, and they're AMAZING.

Inez, I'm gonna let Justice Antonin Scalia respond here:

"Certainly the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex. The only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn’t. Nobody ever thought that that’s what it meant. Nobody ever voted for that."
.@InezFeltscher And I assume you agree with Justice Scalia. The Constitution does not strictly prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex. Classes of protection under strict scrutiny pertain to race, national origin, religion, and alienage. Not sex.
.@InezFeltscher This is why the 14th Amendment is not enough. The Supreme Court has declined to elevate sex to strict scrutiny based on their reading of the 14th Amendment. Sex only receives "skeptical" scrutiny. The ERA would make sex a protected class under strict scrutiny.

Sweetie, the United States ranks 49th in gender equality.

One spot above Zimbabwe and one spot below Peru. Were it not for women having to work much harder than men in school and graduating college at a higher rate, the U.S. wouldn't crack the Top 75: www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GGGR_…
The United States literally only ranks as high as it does in gender equality because women study harder in school. We're that shitty in every other category measured.
The United States--beacon of democracy--ranks 96th in women's political empowerment. Kazakhstan ranks three spots higher.

Next time someone tells you women elsewhere in the world have it much worse, so don't complain, spin the globe and pick a spot. Odds are you might improve.

It probably means she's a better writer, Dan.
Years ago, I remember seeing this cartoon going around Reddit where this dude is writing something Super Important on social media and gets pissed because he's ignored while a woman posts about fashion and gets a ton of attention. And *a lot* of Reddit users loved it.
The cartoon seemed written to reflect annoyance with the Quality of Discussion on social networks and thus, an indictment of social media and frivolity and, obliquely, an implication of anything that receives heavy interest from women. Because women are not Serious Thinkers.

One of the biggest problems people have in understanding twitter's hatemonger population in general is that people on the outside of a situation keep looking at posts divorced from context.

Like, yeah, if you look at any one single tweet in total isolation, it reads like some
clueless onlooker just stumbled blindly into an ongoing conversation and is asking basic questions (or framing bad information as questions- "but don't kittens drink blood?") and not anything to worry about.

But... that's intentional, well-practiced camouflage. You shout hateful
garbage at people all day, every day, most of them are going to block you/report it immediately. You notice what sort of posts don't get blocked, or clear the automated scan for hate speech when reported, and you model your future attacks off that.

And what consistently clears

Right, rugby (and other contact sport) friends, gather round and let me try to share with you some slides & ideas I presented at the @NFLResearch Conference on Collision sport in London last week. This set was on nudging safer behavior, it’s a thread. But it’ll have pictures…1/
2/ First, a philosophical issue that *SHOULD* influence actions (subtly). Change is hard. It’s resisted. That’s as true in the #NFL as it is in #rugby, and in any other sport. These quotes are basically interchangeable - players, coaches, media etc - push back against change.
3/ However, we also can’t allow the tail to wag the dog - if risk is too high, change IS necessary. But how much? The key question, for me, is how you achieve “change without change?”, as this slide asks? Change X but not Y (the sport) (too much). That’s key to getting buy-in.

Anyone eg investors who shrug their shoulders at latest escalation of US-China trade war is missing the point. Trump seems intent on repatriating supply chains, slashing imports from China & stunting its development. That's economically disruptive & geopolitically incendiary 1/
Of course it's possible Trump will do a N Korea, backtrack & declare 'victory'. Tho even then economic uncertainty would endure. But if he continues to escalate (& he's been banging on about trade deficits for decades), result could be recession, crash, even war 2/
More broadly, current pattern of globalisation - & actions of governments, businesses, investors etc - predicated on rules of the game that no longer apply, or risk not doing so. In short term, most behave *as if* they still do. But that can change suddenly/chaotically. Ends

One of the most educational experiences of my life was a game I played in AP European History Class in high school and I think everyone should have to experience it. The game was like this: the class was put into groups and each person got a certain number of points.
The game had rules to allow you to win or lose a small margin of points in a given round. Each round, the people with the most points would get to add a rule to the game. Over the rounds, a lot of stuff started happening.
First, the people with the most points started associating more closely with each other. The early rules added were just testing the waters, like this or that would get you a bonus hundred points. This started to create a disparity in points.

I'm convinced now that political news in this country is written by babies.
No deal. Listen to yourselves. No deal. The way you all imitate government posture. You're all doing it.
The problem is that your news media is incapable of coherent thought.

English news is non stop hysteria driven by sensation and too much sugar. No deal this. No deal that. Running round crashing into everything.
Brexit is not a new trade agreement. The Tories tried to turn it into one, and the English news media imitated that posture, but it was only ever posture. Sensation and sugar.
