I am SICK and TIRED of unfairness in women's sports. That's right, I'm talking about the bullying of Riley Gaines, who's been picking on a Division III trans woman swimmer who Gaines far outpaced when she was still in HIGH SCHOOL.
That's right, I got so fed up with Gaines I went and dug up her old high school times. Turns out the first time she beat the "record" set by Meghan Cortes-Fields she's been calling the end of Title IX she was 14 yrs old. #trans #sports #news
A major surfing corporation cut an ad with the only out trans woman in surfing. Advocates for hate and bigotry complained. So they took it down.
This is a story an incredibly accomplished mainstream writer tried hard to place in mainstream media. They weren't interested. We were.

读过 Who Is Nathan Chen? 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
建议这个系列不要急着给这些刚成名、非常年轻且还活着的名人出传记，人家人生还有很长一段路要走呢，这么早给人立传是要预言人家不会再突破现今的成就啦？看完这本（很薄），印象只有妈妈开 10 小时的车送他到加州训练，他现在在耶鲁念统计与数据科学专业。这本是 Gregory Copeland 的插画。

Cave paintings found in the Lascaux caves in France appear to depict sprinting and wrestlingin the Upper Paleolithic around 15,300 years ago.
有的纪录片随便看看算了……

看过 灌篮高手 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
作画完全还原井上的画风（还是成熟期的），动作流畅十足（这种动作捕捉二维化渲染的画风我可以），但问题出在导演上：虽然比赛的精彩镜头都呈现出来了，但节奏就是不够爽，这个跟漫画的分镜还是有区别的，譬如进球后观众们（有亲友、教练团、队友、山王粉丝、路人各队人马）的反应就给得不够痛快，背景音乐也没烘托到；中间穿插的回忆也与比赛进程有所割裂，不是说以宫城为主角视角不行（事实上我最喜欢的就是宫城，发型加耳钉多帅啊），而是这场比赛每个人都有颠覆过往以此重生的戏份，不是宫城的部分也插他的回忆就不太恰当。另外增添的几个情节我也不喜欢，譬如三井和宫城在更年轻的时候就在球场上见过面，譬如在神奈川都不是 top 1 的宫城最后也去美国留学了。

"People said women couldn't swim the Channel, but I proved they could."
#OTD in 1926.
Gertrude Ederle becomes the first woman to swim across the English Channel.
In August 1919 in Indianapolis, she became the youngest woman ever to set a world swimming record when she posted a new best for the 880y freestyle. She set a total of nine world records and seven of them came during the course of a 500m swim at Brighton Beach, New York, in 1922.
While some athletes have raved about the muffins and others have complained about the cardboard beds, some American Olympians are taking advantage of the free healthcare. Team USA rugby player Ariana Ramsey didn't just get a bronze medal in Paris — she's had a pap smear, X-ray, teeth cleaning, and an eye test. She's posted about this on TikTok, influenced other athletes in the Village to visit medical professionals, and now plans to fight for universal healthcare in the U.S. Here's more from Sports Illustrated.
The Emilio Segrè Visual Archives Summer Olympics Dream Team.
It’s that time again – the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, are just around the corner! We know that physicists like to have fun, but usually such extracurricular pursuits are overshadowed by those pesky academic accomplishments and prizes.

Today, we're bringing names like @abc, @RollingStone, @forbes, @BleacherReport, @NationalGeographic and @newyorktimes to the fediverse. They join the 174 profiles we've already federated, which include everyone from @19thnews to @Vox

You've been throwing a frisbee all wrong, new study finds.
From @sciencefocus: "Researchers at Berry College, Georgia, investigated professional and amateur disc golf players (yes… that’s a real sport) to explore the effect different thumb positions had on disc throwing."

The #Trump admin has sued <California for allowing #transgender athletes to compete on #school sports teams that match their #gender #identity.
The suit alleges that California has violated federal civil rights law by discriminating against women [which doesn’t make any sense].
California officials have denied any wrongdoing & rejected federal demands to bar transgender #athletes from girls’ & women’s school #sports teams.
