Trump signs executive order banning transgender athletes from women's sports, directing DOJ to enforce - ABC News https://search.app/1BvxLikktjd7TJhr8

but to "protect women's sports," adding that options like co-ed categories would still be available.

If universities don't comply, the White House warned they could not only lose federal funding but also face legal action.

"If schools don't comply, it's not just that they're at risk of DOJ-based actions," Mailman said. "Title IX has a private right of action component behind it, so if schools are violating the law, they're at risk of lawsuits from their female students, that is going to actually be more than just taking away federal funding. These are multi-million dollar lawsuits."

The executive order also directs the secretary of state to push for changes within the International Olympic Committee to maintain single-s*x competition and the Department of Homeland Security to review visa policies to prevent transgender women from identifying as female, which would allow them to compete in women's sports, according to the document detailing the order.

The order will also direct private sporting bodies to attend an in-person White House meeting to hear accounts from female athletes in person, according to the document.

"The Executive Order calls for the convening of private sporting bodies in the White House to hear, in person, the stories of female athletes who suffer life-long injuries, who have been silenced and forced to shower with men, and whose hard work has been cast aside due to the biological advantage of males," the document states.

The order is the most aggressive move yet by Trump to fulfill one of his central campaign promises regarding transgender athletes in women's sports.

Trump signed an executive order last week seeking to restrict gender-affirming care for people under the age of 19.

The order would move to restrict medical institutions that receive federal funding from providing such care -- including puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgeries -- calling on the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to "take all appropriate actions to end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children."

The rate of obesity in particular rose steeply, doubling in adults between 1990 and 2021 to more than 40 percent — and nearly tripling, to 29 percent, among girls and women aged 15 to 24.

I am so happy for our girls

"Obesity comes from genetic, physiological and environmental interactions," she said. "It's not the fault of any one individual who has the disease."

I agree father mother skinny daughter fat, genetic not her fault

Completely unsurprised. Have been watching this happen for about the last 20 years. Watching school kids get more and more overweight, compared to my high school days in the 80's, where there were only 2-3 what would be called "obese" kids in my class of 300. And they weren't even THAT big.

Go to a flea market in the U.S now on a weekend. That is a real eye-opener, to the current mass obesity phenomenon ..

We are headed for the space ships of Wall-E ...

I spend 3 years in high school with 12 foid classmates and 2 were overweight rest obese to super obese. I respected them a lot

I remember once's when they started talking about guys and what they like I was like this

Because I thought they were delusional to think they don't deserve what they want obviously, they first and all were for me genderless persons.

So they coped by calling me gay because I never hit on any of them

As we see here, even a brand new thread posted a paltry three minutes ago and about the most /r/AskReddit topic imaginable already had HOLY COW seven hundred and ten upchuds.

Don't believe me? See for yourself!

https://poal.co/s/AskPoal/747854

I refreshed and it's dropped down to a still respectable 291 uphitlers. I guess there's a lot of diversity of opinion on this site even for relatively banal subjects like giant robots. How cool is that?

The next thread is another very hot topic, very relevant and powerful Alaskan congressperson Lisa Murkowski:

1200 upTNDs on that bad boy in just 14 minutes. This one even has a comment. Let's check it out and see what Motte-level intellectual discourse goes on here:

https://poal.co/s/Twitchy/747853

Poal.co user ERROR; RNG_USERNAME_VAR_NOT_FOUND offers some powerful insight into this with a not at all procedurally generated comment with very reasonable, intentional, deliberate and NOT random formatting to boot. No votes at all on that one yet, for some reason. Maybe the enormous userbase is all busy crafting lengthy polemics against or for his stance there.

The next newest thread is about Pompeo. Remember Pompeo? I don't besides the name, but several hundred Poal.co users remember him. Check these votes out.

Fluctuates like crazy every time I refresh. There seems to be an enormous but enormously healthy variety of pro- and anti-Pompeo sentiments there, going by how quickly the votes shift by several hundred. This thread even has TWO comments:

https://poal.co/s/Trump/747852

I don't know what they mean and I can't ask the users because there must be some bug from all the traffic preventing real users' real usernames from displaying.

Scrolling further down the bustling digital metropolis of poal.co, we see similar levels of activity, no matter the topic:

Pretty much all of their threads have many times our most upvoted posts' total votes. Even ones with no comments. It's inspiring and demoralizing in equal measure.

In closing I'd just like to remind everyone that you need to say nigger as much as possible to defeat the Jewish hydra.

People think the female sumo in Assassin's Creed Shadows is a joke, but it’s real. They added a female sumo who kicks and pulverizes Japanese chuds.

Oh dear. Yeah, I don't know where "our" forum is but it isn't here! I sort of think nowhere, since the election proved that Americans will cut off their nose to spite their face. And AS A WOMAN, I'm pissed at the women who gave their vote to that male feminist, misogynistic, criminal, lying, boil on the butt of humanity the reigns. Frick. I'm so sick of no one else standing up and saying that we are hurtling at light speed towards a dystopian society and people just put the thumb up their butt, or actually, they keep them on their phones and believe allll the fricking bullshit that Trump and his allies claim.Aaaaanyway just wanted to say you sure jumped in with your first post 😂 buckle up!

Landrys is the worst company i ever worked for. And they are also horrible at business. When they took over BRGuest in NYC their goons (I refuse to call them anything but that) came in and changed everything. For the worse. They told me to fire 40% of my staff and if I couldn't find a reason to I was not doing my job. They ignored the Donn doff law and had signs at terminals saying "do not clock in until fully in uniform" which is…illegal. They got rid of the time card adjustment signatures. Which is required in nyc. Any time you adjust a staffs time card they have to sign off on it. Very simple. Yes it was a huge restaurant and yes it took a lot of time to do 3 times a shift (people forgot to clock in, people for got to clock out for they break, etc…) but it's the law. They did away with it. It's a HUGE lawsuit. Every single employee can sue for incorrect hour reporting. It's usually a class action and lawyers make most of the money, but it's an easy slam dunk case for any law firm...

Don't have a clue about who actually owns the company but I can tell you for sure that the family who owns the Jets Pizza stores north of Humble are hardcore crazy Trumpers. Worked there for a bit before quitting because the dad/owner went on a 45 min rant about how black people are the most terrible workers/they need to be "vetted way more" before going on another rant about how we're finally gonna get rid of all the ADHD & autism going around these days "once RFK gets in there" and gets rid of all the sugar in our food. They had a trans neurodivergent teenager working for them as a delivery driver too & I felt so bad for him because the owners talked soooooo much disgusting ignorant shit whenever he wasn't there. Not to mention the Trump/Vance "I'm voting for the outlaw & the hillbilly" sweatshirt the owner's son would come in wearing every day. I could go on but yeah they're definitely ones to avoid (6)

https://screenrant.com/matrix-sequels-tank-marcus-chong-not-return-reason/

After playing such an integral role in The Matrix, Tank (Marcus Chong, adopted son of Tommy Chong) didn't appear in either of the sequels, The Matrix Reloaded or The Matrix Revolutions, with many viewers wondering why. As the operator of the Nebuchadnezzar, Tank plays a pretty crucial role on the team in the first movie, making his disappearance surprising. That's especially true due to the fact Tank was one of the few Nebuchadnezzar crew members to even survive Cypher's betrayal of his comrades. In 2003's The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions, Tank is instead replaced by his brother-in-law, Link (Harold Perrineau Jr).

It's explained in-universe that Tank died sometime after the first Matrix movie, though no cause is given. It's a simple explanation hiding a complicated behind-the-scenes story. The real reason Tank didn't come back for the admittedly quite divisive Matrix sequels was a conflict between actor Marcus Chong and the producers. Said conflict got incredibly heated, leading to legal battles, and Chong making shocking allegations against his former colleagues and bosses. Needless to say, Chong's career has never truly recovered.

TLDR for the original matrix he got paid $75k (in 1999 is worth approx. $142k today) and for the sequel demanded the same pay as the other 3 or 4 main characters who actually survived the first matrix movie too lol who were all offered like a million ( approx. $1.9 million today) but they refused to pay him more than 400k (approx. $757k today)

While Tank died in the canon The Matrix timeline, there was a behind-the-scenes reason for this creative decision. In 2003, Chong filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros/AOL Time Warner, claiming that there was a verbal agreement from 1998 and a contract signed in 2000 that guaranteed him a place in the sequel movies. Warner offered him $400,000 for The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, and he wanted to get $1 million, and Chong wouldn't budge (via entertainment.ie).

The lawsuit included claims of defamation, stating that the producers tried to paint him as a terrorist. In October 2000, Chong was arrested for making threatening phone calls to Warner Bros and writer-directors the Wachowskis over his being written out of the movie. He even went as far as claiming he was being blackballed in the industry by the producers. Chong hasn't been in many movies since The Matrix — which may hint that he is difficult to work with.

Beyond all of this was a website I never heard of probably made by Chong and is a goldmine of sneed lmao

www.boycottthematrix.com

https://web.archive.org/web/20020608185811/http://www.boycottthematrix.com/index.htm

As a result of all this drama, Chong's last real feature film was in "The Crow: Wicked Prayer" starring washed up actors Edward Furlong (John Conner T2), Tara Reid (American Pie), and David Boreanaz (Buffy TV show)

(Despite being a fan of the original "The Crow" Brandon Lee movie, I have never even heard of this crow movie until now but I will give every dramatard 1 gold award who has suffered through it and educates me on how terrible it is)

Anyway I have no idea wtf this r-slur has been doing for 15 years after sperging out, but I found his youtube account were he paints a crazy picture and if you skip to the last few seconds claims The Whack-out-ski Sister threatened to transition him, to the grave.

Now that you have seen all the evidence

Please judge, who was right here:

Hecko!

Yesterday night, I decided to try and get some sweet xitter likes by doing the classic move of pissing people off.

For those who do not know, Technoblade was am extremely popular Minecraft youtuber, who used to be part of the DreamSMP.

also most importantly, he's dead.

Died of bone cancer in mid 2022. And every year since then he's friends have gotten together to use his death for charity. The most recent example being yesterday from other large Minecraft youtuber, and drama QUEEN TommyInnit

In response I threw a tweet out into the ether, making fun of them doing this.

I know nothing about these people.
But didn't this dude die like 5 years ago?
