I’ve been absolutely loving Knower Forever by Knower from last year. Who else is doing stuff like this?

At this point, Calvin’s consistency is worth more than Gannon’s one extra win imo. But a lot can still change!

I thought I was a pretty big NBA fan until I tried Poeltl and learned that I’m a lightweight 😂

tbh it’s hard for me to imagine any boycott being more damaging than iconic tournaments like Ledgestone and MVP being straight up cancelled.

 

In a major reversal, the Disc Golf Pro Tour has reinstated the FPO divisions at all upcoming tournaments under a new “United Series” designation that will permit Natalie Ryan and other transgender women to compete in FPO at select events.

Cancelling FPO at some the most iconic tournaments was such a brain dead decision. Even if you have legitimate concerns about the competitive fairness of allowing transgender participation in FPO, it is clearly much more sensible to let Natalie play than to torch the entire division.

I think it’d be great to get tournament discussions going here! I know a lot of people watch post-produced coverage, so maybe we should put [SPOILERS] in the title of discussion posts so people can avoid them if they want?

 

Shameful decision in my opinion. I can’t believe they’d rather burn the entire division to the ground than let one transgender competitor play.

That was also my experience on Reddit. Subreddits would sometimes have a culture in terms of the types of posts and comments that get upvotes, but I was never really aware of specific individuals.

Generally you only see cyclists “taking the lane”, as it’s called, when staying in the bike lane is unsafe. At least in the US, there are a lot of poorly designed bike lanes that are not always safe to use.

Twitter is sui generis because they were acquired impulsively by a maniac. But for the others, I think it’s just that interest rates were super low for a long time and now they’ve gone back up to a more historically normal level.

I feel like Jordan is too competitive to not care about winning.

I think it’s more likely that star players just don’t make for good owners, similar to how they don’t seem to make good coaches.
