Gladwell, 62, said he was previously intimidated into staying silent, but believes that ‘trans athletes have no place in the female category’.

The author revealed he is ‘ashamed’ of his performance moderating a panel discussion the issue at the 2022 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference.

That’s a true hero. Great job!

Trump joked that the media was not holding him to the same standard as former President Joe Biden.

‘I didn’t do any for two days and they said there must be something wrong with him. Biden would not do them for months, you wouldn’t see him and nobody ever said there was ever anything wrong with him and we know he wasn’t in the greatest of shape,’ he said.

Crypto has been great for me too. This has been a GREAT fucking year for me. $$$

I did not, and will not, but $WLFI though. I just stick to the basic long-term crypto coins.

@EndlessApollo@lemmy.world has been perma-banned from this sub. Sick messages asking for someone to kill themselves will not be tolerated here.

Sorry you had to deal with that, OP.

Additionally, 78% of young Americans don’t qualify for military service, with a failure to meet physical fitness standards being a major factor, Hegseth and Kennedy said.

And I bet when it comes to Lemmy posters, 98% of them would fail all the fitness tests too. lol

I’m not part of the lazy fat crowd that makes up most of Lemmy thought. I’m fit and I’d totally join up w military if there weren’t an age limit.

Chick just lost a good job because she wanted to be cool for some internet likes. LMAO

Wow, a lot of what things the shooter said and wrote, sounds like some extremist Lemmy posters. I wonder if he was on Lemmy.

Nothing in Catholic lit says you should idolize school shooters and go shoot up kids. Just because you dislike religion, they are not to blame here.

Lowe called the rebrand ‘land and pitiful’ and said ‘spending $700 million dollars doing that is throwing money out the window’.

‘If they don’t get back to keeping it country, then it ain’t gonna work,’ he added.

Critics said the changes stripped away the brand’s character and charm, and the backlash cost the company nearly $100 million in market value last week.

Even President Donald Trump weighed in on the short-lived change, telling Cracker Barrel bosses to scrap the new logo.

Shortly after Trump’s comments, the company scrapped the new logo and returned to its original.

from the article:

Westman’s journal also hinted at some disturbing and confused political views which appeared to have been virulently Left-wing and anti-Semitic.

One page included a trans pride flag sticker with ‘Defend equality’ printed across the bottom and a sticker of an AK-47 assault rifle on top.

In another, the shooter wrote ‘I hate fascism’ but soon added: ‘I also love when kids get shot, I love to see kids get torn apart’.

Westman called Jewish people ‘penny-sniffing’ and added: ‘FREE PALESTINE!’

The shooter indicated desires to carry out a ‘final act’ against ‘a target of political or societal significance…. Targets like [Elon] Musk, Trump or some significant exec’.

In fact, it should perhaps come as no surprise that Westman admitted to having a particular admiration for the monstrous Lanza - who’d been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome aged 13 and, according to his father, suffered from undiagnosed schizophrenia.

The similarities between the killers are many and chilling.

Lanza’s mother, whose relationship with her son so degenerated that they were only communicating by email despite sharing the same house, was the first victim that Lanza killed.

Now it appears that this particular animus may have been shared by Westman towards mother Mary Grace

‘I am feeling good about annunciation. It seems like a good combo of easy attack form and devastating tragedy, and I want to do more research,’ Westman wrote.

Another page read: ‘I have concerns about finding a large enough group. I want to avoid any parents, but pre and post school drop off.’

‘Maybe I could attack an event at the on-site church,’ Westman went on. ‘I think attacking a large group of kids coming in from recess is my best plan … Then from there I can go inside and kill, going for as long as I can.’

What do you mean? what are you trying to say?

Do you have some structured phrase-book like a tele-marketer that guides you when running out of ideas?

No. I’m just not that bright or clever. And also I don’t Lemmy seriously at all. It’s a very small part of my day.

And yes, Lemmy is too much of a bubble, but considering all the hate I get for being conservative, I can understand why many would feel that Lemmy isn’t welcoming to diverse political opinions.

Which also the exact reason Lemmy membership is declining and not growing as fast as it should be.

You should post your own articles then!

I wonder if the shooter was on Lemmy. A lot of rants that the shooter made, sound like a lot of comments I see on Lemmy.

It takes about 20 seconds to send a tweet. I think it’s pretty manageable. But if you are upset, you should try writing them a strongly-worded letter!

Of course you’re blocking me. You don’t like diversity of opinion. Not very progressive of you. lmao

People can have opinions on things even if it isn’t directly tied to their profession. Try it!

I’m not making anyone click the link to read it. So you don’t think people can think for themselves? You agree with censorship?! That’s not very progressive of you.

I just post a link. It’s up to the people to read or not read. I trust them to be able to think for themselves. Do you?

Maybe the Democrats should release them! I’m excited to read them!
