I maintain that "relatability" is one of the worst things to happen to creative writing and it must be combated

I'm so glad she wrote this. The portrayal of her in this series is, to me, indefensible. She deserves an apology from the filmmakers and FX.

And if you hear yourself saying you portrayed a real person (who's alive!) in a particular way to manipulate your audience, please go improve.

Female athletes must pay ยฃ185 to prove their sex
Matt Lawton - Chief Sports Correspondent
British female track and field athletes are being asked to pay ยฃ185 for a sex test if they want to compete internationally.

World Athletics requires all athletes to take an SRY gene test before competing in the female category at major championships and Diamond League events to guarantee fair competition by excluding trans and DSD (differences of sex development) competitors.

Before the World Championships in Tokyo last September, World Athletics gave $100 per test for the thousand or so female athletes needing one. More money will be provided by the international federation for this yearโ€™s World Junior Championships.

But British women have been advised by UK Athletics (UKA) to pay for the test themselves, urging them to have the cheek swab, which indicates the presence of a Y chromosome, โ€œas soon as possible to avoid delays around selectionโ€. However, some women have complained it is unfair when the test is not required for men.

UKA has a hardship fund to pay for the test and will assess requests on a case-by-case basis. But the situation is symptomatic of a national federation already facing financial challenges, made worse by UK Sport cutting its funding for this Olympic cycle. While almost ยฃ32 million was given to the relatively niche sports that won five medals at last monthโ€™s Winter Olympics, athletics has had its funding cut from ยฃ22.18 million to ยฃ20.45 million despite winning ten medals in 2024.

It was only last year UKA returned to some form of financial stability, posting a profit of ยฃ107,588. But it is now facing a big fine after admitting corporate manslaughter over the death of Abdullah Hayayei, who died in 2017 after a metal cage fell on him while he was training for the World Para Athletics Championships in London.

Nashville Noticias staffer Estefany Rodrรญguez was detained by ICE in South Nashville on Wednesday morning. There was no warrant for her arrest. Her attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court seeking a writ of habeas corpus, or an immediate review of whether or not her detention is legal. 

Rodrรญguez, who was in the car with her husband โ€” a U.S. citizen โ€” has been following all the legal steps to citizenship. In her job, Rodrรญguez has reported several stories that hold ICE accountable, and itโ€™s unclear whether her detention was retaliation. As of Thursday afternoon, she was in Alabama en route to an ICE processing center in Louisiana.

Something I donโ€™t think can be emphasized enough is how fast ICE is shipping the people they detain off to another state. โ€œMove fast and break thingsโ€ but for people in potentially life or death situations. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/05/j...

Even if you are lucky enough to have legal representation, which in immigration must be funded by yourself (or pro bono counsel) how do your lawyers rep you in this system? Not to mention how does your family find you? not due process

In 2003 US President George W. Bush told French president Jacques Chirac in a private talk that they needed to invade Iraq to defeat the Biblical demons Gog & Magog. If reports are correct US officials are still trying to jumpstart Armageddon 23 years later because Jesus didn't come back last time.
