As SCOTUS Debates "Trans Women" Competing in Girls Sports, the World's 671st Ranked Male Tennis Player Easily Beats the Woman Ranked #1; also, Remembering Scott Adams and Dilbert
In preparation for two upcoming friendlies against Russia, the U.S. women’s national team played the FC Dallas U-15 boys academy team on Sunday and fell 5-2, according to FC Dallas’ official website.Circling back to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Ace documented this amazing question of hers from the bench this week, "Is treating someone transgender, but does not have, because of the medical interventions and the things that have been done, who does not have, uh, the same, uh, threat to physical competition and safety and all the reasons the state puts forward - that's actually a different class, says this individual. So you're not treating the class the same. And how do you respond to that?" Yes, how do you respond to that? KBJ is an orator for the ages. We may have to start referring to her as Ketanji Wendell Holmes.
Since Mr. Anderson’s hiring, several prominent executives have departed [General Motors], presumably because they don’t share his vision for prioritizing self-driving cars. As reported by CNBC a few weeks ago, Mr. Anderson “has consolidated power to oversee ‘the end-to-end product lifecycle’ of GM vehicles, including manufacturing, engineering, battery, software and services product management, and engineering teams, according to GM.” Despite the massive EV losses that GM has incurred, the company is apparently casting its lot with a tech executive whose profit-and-loss experience is with cash burn rather than cash flow.This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.
My latest at The American Spectator discusses how General Motors keeps getting distracted by shiny new objects. After its catastrophic losses on EVs, the mass-market auto manufacturer is again pivoting toward another boutique niche - autonomous vehicles.https://t.co/br4nimCGvG

It isn't. What do you think "scientific consensus" means? It means "narrative-confirming."
"Scientific consensus" is not a thing. The scientific method is based on disproof. When "scientists" are all in agreement on something, it is an indicator of failure.
The "scientific consensus" told us that factories warm the planet. It wold us that COVID came from bats. It told us that boys can be girls. It told us the earth was the center of the universe. It told us lots of shit that is obviously untrue, and it kept telling us those same things for long, long after it became obvious.

Thx Buck.
The difference between men and women is obvious unless you're an ideologue. There was some woman professor who said there was no physiological difference between them after puberty. Ok, "expert" then we will only have one category for every sport, let the best person play

Did they claim it wasn't their first-string players and that they lost only because they were giving their other players a chance for some tough practice? That's the normal response.

The rules for the Kyrgios-Sabalenka match were even more rigged than is described in this post.
In addition to the smaller court on Sabalenka's side, the rules stipulated only one serve per point. In order words, the players didn't get the normal two serves to get a ball in play, but only one.
While that may appear not to favor either side, in reality it was designed to (and did) substantially limit the power of Kyrgios' serve. If he had two serves, the first would have been at full power -- far harder than any woman on the planet can serve -- and Sabalenka would have almost no chance to return it. But because he only had one, he had to basically just lob it over as if it was his normal second serve.
Also: Kyrgios was injured and not at 100%.

Self-driving cars - if they can be safely and reliably made at all - are a serious long-haul investment. The problem is already 85% solved. That last 15%, though, is *heavy* - like Everest on top of a mouse heavy. If GM is going down that road, it's betting the entire business on it - right after they bet the business on EVs. Dangerous.

I'm a rugby fanatic and hate what's going on with colleges.
Title IX has been construed to require equal numbers of men and women in varsity sports. But not all varsity sports are equal.
Colleges often use football for brand identity to attract students and to get money from alumni. Think Notre Dame. Women's field hockey doesn't quite do this.
This throws off the M/W ratio and the budget. So you see women getting recruited for crew who've never rowed.
Making Women's Rugby a varsity sport while keeping Men's a club is what many colleges do. It comes down to whether the Men's club can get good coaching or not. And travel money for national playoffs. Many good teams get shut out for not having the money.
But let's pretend that women are equal in all things.

Meanwhile, a tennis “battle of the sexes” just took place a couple weeks ago, matching Nick Kyrgios against Aryna Sabalenka.
From the linked article:
Kyrgios, the 2022 Wimbledon runner-up who has played only six tour-level matches in the past three years because of wrist and knee injuries, appeared to play within himself at times...
I don't understand. Was he jacking it under his shorts as he played? Based.

Kyrgios currently ranks 671 and has been ranked as high as world No. 13 in singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), achieved on 24 October 2016. He has won seven ATP Tour singles titles, including the 2019 and 2022 Washington Open, and reached eleven finals, most notably a major final at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships.

I honestly don't know how these trannie legal decisions take longer than maybe 10 minutes.
They are basically two question cases:
Question 1: Do XX chromosomes make for a biological girl/woman and do an XY chromosome make for a biological boy/man?
Question 29 and related stuff): Should we be required by law to treat insane people in compliance with their insanity?
In other words, should we treat a man claiming to be Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson? Should we give him your seat on the Supreme Court and allow him to make legally binding decisions? If not, why not?
Or suppose a woman claims that she is a goat. Should we treat her as a goat in a legally binding manner and feed her hay and leave her outside to wander in the fields. If not, why not?
That this trannie silliness is even being discussed beyond confinement in a mental institution proves that Yes! The law is an ass.

Scott Adams was quite a guy and Dilbert was one of the few great comics. People, including my wife, love Peanuts, but it really wasn't that funny, at least to me. The Wizard of Id was a "don't miss." Blondie was always the first strip in the comic section, and it was pretty good. The Far Side was great. Of course Calvin and Hobbes set the bar impossibly high and Bill Watterson is the favorite of everyone in Chagrin Falls and Northeast Ohio in general.

When I was studying martial arts as a teenager, my master's daughter Soo-mi was a year younger. She was practicing Tae Kwon Do from the time she could walk. She had much better technical skills than me. She was also tall and very athletic for a girl.
We did full-contact tournaments. Master would have me spar with Soo-mi to help prepare her for her matches. The idea was for her to train against someone much bigger and stronger than she would face in the tournament.
Suffice to say that as good as she was, I could have literally killed her in the ring if I wanted to. She was very quick and landed some kicks to my face. They stung but didn't do any damage. By contrast, if I ever kicked her in the face with full power, she'd be KOed instantly. If not her neck broken. She could beat almost any female opponent, and she did. But she had 0% chance against a bigger, stronger man.
And yes: Soo-mi was a smokeshow. And yes, we dated for a while. "She was my first Asian."

As with everything else, if government got out of the business of sticking its nose in the business of competitive athletics, then all of this would sort itself out.
If you want to play sportsball against someone, go ahead, I couldn't care less who you complete against.
Just deduct zero dollars and zero cents from my wallet.

37 Meanwhile, a tennis “battle of the sexes” just took place a couple weeks ago, matching Nick Kyrgios against Aryna Sabalenka.
From the linked article:
Kyrgios, the 2022 Wimbledon runner-up who has played only six tour-level matches in the past three years because of wrist and knee injuries, appeared to play within himself at times...
I don't understand. Was he jacking it under his shorts as he played? Based.

Too many factors fighting against it.
IT is seen as a cost, so measures are taken to lower the cost. Either getting rid of your veterans (who fought the IT wars, and know not only how it works, but WHY it works) for interns and foreign labor, or into the magic clouds. Former do not have the experience and knowledge, just a script. The latter have the same issues, except now you pray it doesn't storm because there's absolutely nothing you can do when it does.
The "Tower of Babel" situation. Even if two computer environments speak the same language, devs on either side mess it up by not understanding specifications... or not caring. So one or the other has to patch for the bad case, then patch for another bad case, until it's a tumor made up of band-aids. For an example - read about all the Windows hacks to keep apps running. Ye olde "SimCity", for instance, "freed memory"... then kept using it afterwards. So, a hack to let that game keep running, built right into Windows.

GM has a death wish...just sayin'.
About 35 years ago, my late uncle, who did a lot of tool making business with GM (in those days), predicted they would go bankrupt some day ( remember 2009?) because of their low productivity and ridiculous benefits package they had for their hourly workers.
Well, my opinion was they also had some lousy engineers and management people. As much as people like to crack on UAW employees, they don't design the cars, the assembly lines, the engines, etc.

Conservatives are celebrating spending untold millions in legislation and legal fees to keep less than a hundred kids out of sports.
The outcome was never in doubt. The complete destruction of trans rights and, by extension, trans people was always part of the agenda. There’s a whole section about it written down in Project 2025.
It's not a good feeling to see your country dedicate so much effort to making your life worse because they hate you and refuse to understand you. That's even worse when a child is on the receiving end of this.
Every time there's a post about trans issues, the iMa vErY liBrAl bUUUUt people come out of the wood work. Your position fails at the most basic level: how are you going to enforce it??? The only foolproof way is genital inspections (which I bet has always been the real goal for conservatives).
The general public are a bunch of slackjawed hicks. Consider how stupid the average American is. Half of them are dumber than that. conservatives think all trans women are fat hairy guys in dresses. They think they know someone’s gender by looking at them.

Not to be a downer, but what makes me upset is even with a conservative leaning SC, our victories are incremental.
Like I'm sure these state laws banning men in womens sports will be upheld, so basically if you live in a really conservative, red state you're fine. But live in a purple or blue state (which is most of America) and you're still subject to this nonsense.
A liberal court would find a way to mandate their policy to all 50 states. Look at gay marriage for example.

Suffice to say that as good as she was, I could have literally killed her in the ring if I wanted to. She was very quick and landed some kicks to my face. They stung but didn't do any damage. By contrast, if I ever kicked her in the face with full power, she'd be KOed instantly. If not her neck broken. She could beat almost any female opponent, and she did. But she had 0% chance against a bigger, stronger man.

Later, he was a guest star on The Odd Couple where he hustled Felix and Oscar at ping pong, 2 on 1. After he was winning, he offered to play with a frying pan. The a frozen fish ...

They used to be really big. And could do a lot more damage.

45 When I was studying martial arts as a teenager, my master's daughter Soo-mi was a year younger. She was practicing Tae Kwon Do from the time she could walk. She had much better technical skills than me. She was also tall and very athletic for a girl.
Had almost the exact same experience, only with friend in college. White girl. Tall, athletic black belt. Lot of leverage, and could strike. Thing is, I was 100 pounds heavier and much stronger, and we both knew she could not hurt me enough before I got my hands on her, and then it was lights out. She knew, but some people gotta find out for themselves, I guess.

Suffice to say that as good as she was, I could have literally killed her in the ring if I wanted to. She was very quick and landed some kicks to my face. They stung but didn't do any damage. By contrast, if I ever kicked her in the face with full power, she'd be KOed instantly. If not her neck broken. She could beat almost any female opponent, and she did. But she had 0% chance against a bigger, stronger man.
And yes: Soo-mi was a smokeshow. And yes, we dated for a while. "She was my first Asian."

You should have kicked her in the face, pointed at her and shouted, So Soo Mi!

The problem is in the transition. From paper age to digital age. Those libraries of reports from the 50s, 60s, 70s what about them? You thought sending them to some salt mine company was going to preserve them? Have you tried getting those reports back lately? They said they'd scan them. Have you tried looking at the scans? No body cares about your reports but you. No one is going to make sure the digital scans are even useful but you.
And I guess by "you" I really mean some poor damned engineer like me that has to make use of it all. I love digital. But companies f-up the transition.

My wife and I went to the Grandview Theatre to see The Crying Game. We did not know anything about the film's enormous twist. At one point, the black lady was singing and I whispered to my wife, "She is a very pretty girl, but here hands are huge!" Then went back to watching.

My wife and I were in a bookstore in suburban Detroit one time years ago, and this "Trans" woman came in, and the "girls" (I think they were) made a big fuss over "his" hair, etc. My wife and I just looked at each other, rolled our eyes, and got out of there.

Tired of all this bullshit. We have an out and out retard on the SCOTUS bench in the person of KJB. Not just a liberal like Kagan, an outright low-iq retard. And people are getting saturated with low-iq feelz based propaganda on everything and break into furious tears if you even seek to introduce a competing fact or analytical framework.
I'd go somewhere else but there's nowhere else to go. People can't be reasoned with anymore. They are immune to reevaluating their position regardless of how much logic you use or how many facts you provide. I am sickened and dismayed at this state of affairs.

74 Not to be a downer, but what makes me upset is even with a conservative leaning SC, our victories are incremental.
Posted by: Leupold
======
And that is the issue for conservatives versus the overall Right or even moderates. Conservatives seek to conserve what was or try to restore the past. The filibuster is an example as is this court case example you mentioned. The status quo was that states COULD ban trans males from female sports competitions. The left, had no f*cks to give as even getting to keep their blue states turning boys and girls into eunuchs is a win for their evil med programs and drug companies promoting this shit.
So even when the conservatives 'win', as you mention Leupold, the left still can do what it wants in blue states and bide their time to demand red states kneel in the future.
The same pattern keeps getting repeated.Tactical wins for the conservatives while losing strategically.
That is why Trump who is not a conservative and not bound by the old rules has been effective, even more so after the 'conservatives' tried to knife him in the back in his first term.
Trump does not always win but he at least fights.

Your point is correct but I believe inaccurate ... Tesla FSD is well into the "March of nines", but the tail is very long / always one more weird edge case.
One of the best videos I have seen is a sequence of a dozen or so clips of cars slamming on the brakes and swerving to avoid being hit by another vehicle running a red light (the green light ahead is usually clearly visible). Every one of those instances potentially save a life, or several.
Being accident free, I am probably a pretty safe driver, but having 8 eyes that never blink distributed around my head is not something I'm ever going to achieve.

Look at the upside of having a retard on the Court trying to defend liberal dogma. The biggest problem for us with The Notorious (Justice) RBG was that she was an honestly sharp lawyer, and she could make very reasonable sounding constitutional arguments for far left dogma. Probably the last of the generation that produced the Warren Court.
Now, who do they left have to make their case? Some drooling imbecile who might as well have a bone through her nose and be chanting "oogah! oogah!" for all the sense she makes. This does NOT do the left any favors.

And no, you don't have eight unblinking eyes - but you also don't see things that aren't there, or fail to see things that are. You don't have to assess every single cubic milimeter of your field of view 100% of the time, because you have a brain.

It's amazing how much of leftardism is them making up a new chance whole cloth to feel smarter or better than someone else. 98%? 99?
"oh so you think you know someone's sex by *looking* at them??? Well once they spend 50 grand and mutilate themselves enough, and you're standing far away and their clothes are on, and they walk by you for 8 seconds, I guarantee you CAN'T."
Reminds me of the narcissists who feel superior to you because you trusted them.
It's like - "well that's me told. Lesson learned. You being a scumbag liar really makes you better than me."

I'd go somewhere else but there's nowhere else to go. People can't be reasoned with anymore. They are immune to reevaluating their position regardless of how much logic you use or how many facts you provide. I am sickened and dismayed at this state of affairs.

If you find yourself discouraged, just remember the world has always been a mess. The only peace you can find is via finding G_d and realizing this world is a fallen world. So find joy where you can, do what you can to fight the good fight against evil, and realize that despair is a sin. There is good, there are good people, and the fight will never be permanently lost or won.
There is no predetermined history or end result, it is always the people in an era making a choice to submit or not to evil.

If you assume you have an galactic monetary unit .. a Quatloo.
Make the national reserve the total possible taxing authority of a nation (this includes what currently isn't taxed) and/or a gold reserve, if you have it ... and convert it to Quatloos.
Now, simply divide the national reserve in Quatloos by the total number of dollars (printed or virtual) and you have the galactic value of a dollar.
From that simple calculation, you can easily see that printing or virtually creating more dollars devalues the value of the dollar.

He specifically mentioned Kentanji Jackson, and that her intellectual prowess was not important, it was her reliable vote for Left Wing issues.
The end result is a society that will fall apart, losing trust between people and organizations and institutions. DEI is supposed to breakt things.

The tail is *insanely* long, and that's just technology. The legal tail might be even longer.
And no, you don't have eight unblinking eyes - but you also don't see things that aren't there, or fail to see things that are. You don't have to assess every single cubic milimeter of your field of view 100% of the time, because you have a brain.

I wonder how much of this was ever true "motivation," as opposed to rent-boy astroturf. Back in the heady days of BLM and Saint George, the USAID trough was still open, and billions was flowing into these shady organizations. I always thought a very high percent of protestors/rioters were paid.
That money is mostly gone now, so there's no financial incentive for a lot of these scumbags to leave their mommy's basement. So they don't.

I guess the problem is, how do you keep Biological Men from having access to privately-funded Scholarships for women's athletics?
Posted by: XTC
The answer is not going to please trad cons--it is to do what Trump is trying to do via DOE, use Title IX to prevent those schools from getting federal money. For colleges, it means no student loans and grants--lefty schools would have to eat their endowment then to do it. For K12, you have reading programs, etc.
Ironically, the libs, outraged by the Grove City case, made schools receiving any federal funds rather than specific programs comply with federal restrictions.
Bypasses the 10th because states want the money so they have to comply. Reason why a few states were flirting with dropping federal funds entirely for k12 in places like TN under the Biden regime.

When I was a high schooler, not so long ago, there was a big difference between the real world and high school/college. But most people understood that schools were fantasy worlds for children, because kids worked jobs in high school, so they'd already perceived the real world.
Now most kids stay in school as long as possible, and don't work til they leave, so you end up with a workforce of nearly geriatric 12-year-olds.

From all accounts, he did a helluva lot of good things there and has just about ended getting rid of all the vacant decaying houses before his term ends.

Told me life isn’t fair any time I said “but that’s not fair”.
Which is almost always said by someone who welched on a promise or screwed you over in some way. Who is usually the same someone who inculcated principles of fairness into you from an early age, only for you to find out that what is "fair" depends entirely upon the relative position of authority of the person fucking you over.

That's for PUBLIC scholarships, though. Not PRIVATE ones.
Posted by: XTC
Nope. Under the subsequent revision of civil rights laws under Ted Kennedy after the Grove City case, if a school accepts one buck of public money, then they are bound to follow ALL requirements. Including private scholarships if the college coordinates the offering to the student.
Right now, DoE is going after a lot of these private scholarships that discriminate in such a way as to violate Title IX. And private non profits are also filing suits and winning.
DEI, aka positive discrimination (what the Brits called it) is decomposing as we speak with desperate attempts to hide the puck and failing.

Regarding the Supreme Court "men in women's sports" case, one thing that does not show up is any concern whatsoever about horny misfits flogging their junk around the locker rooms in front of scantily or unclad nubile women.
Yeah, I know that that's not what the case is about, but doesn't anyone think that that might be influential on the decision?

Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney were the three Republican senators who voted to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
The confirmation vote took place on April 7, 2022, resulting in a 53–47 outcome. All 50 Democratic and Independent senators voted in favor, joined by these three Republicans. Collins, Murkowski, and Romney also supported Jackson during earlier Senate votes on her judicial nominations, including her confirmation to the D.C. Circuit Court. Their bipartisan support was widely noted, with President Joe Biden publicly thanking them for their votes. You may now continue.

the correlation between government grants and scientific consensus is 100%.

Broader, he who pays dictates what the scientist will find. Expert witness testimony should clearly demonstrate that. Scientists, at the end of the day, work for the paycheck like the rest of us do unless they are independently wealthy.
So the siren call of money is always something that affects people wanting to keep their jobs.
Consensus in the scientific community is always overrated and part of what Kuhn calls normal science. Overton Windows gets at the same phenomenon. Those vested in normal science without a doubt then try to quash deviationist scientists that might disrupt existing scientific norms and theories. Often by calling those scientists rude names, attempt to censor them, etc.
Covid was a perfect example.

You can try to get some fairness in interpersonal affairs. Do good business, have an equitable marriage, etc.
But that's it.
Sometimes, your wife will be killed in a car accident. Sometimes a kid gets leukemia. Life just isn't fair. That's it.

One of the only things not good in the movie with James Caviezel: he gets his vengeance and... it has no real down side. Everything is just jake.
Posted by: Aetius451AD
Book is about the same but because we are meant to identify with the hero, it has a relatively happy ending with the hero triumphing over a sordid collection of gits that benefitted from him going to prison. The movie added the hero reconciling with Mercedes and IIRC the stupid idea of the child of his mortal enemy being his.
In the book, the Count has another female slave of the Turks he rescued and reciprocates her love when the task is finished. The child of Mercedes and the faithless soldier went to join the army after disowning his inheritance and Mercedes went to a convent IIRC. Been awhile since I read the book or watched the movie.

Book of Job in the Bible is a superb example of what Judaism calls wisdom literature (also see Proverbs and Ecclesiastes). Lot of philosophical reasoning in Job about the nature of good and evil and how it affects people. Uses dialogue between characters aka friends of Job and then the appearance of teh Almighty himself in dialogue with Job. Powerful stuff.

Judge used extraordinarily stark language during the hearing, describing Trump as an “authoritarian” while insisting that he was choosing the term carefully, rather than simply using a “pejorative.” The judge also compared the Trump administration’s broader mass-deportation campaign to historic efforts to return formerly enslaved people to their owners under the Fugitive Slave Act, noting an infamous episode in Boston history when a U.S. marshal was killed near Young’s courthouse as he guarded a man named Anthony Burns who escaped slavery in Virginia.
DOJ lawyer comes back saying that there is a previous Philadelphia-based 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that Congress has forbidden district court judges from issuing orders that impact deportation proceedings. It seems it is in the statue.

About that tennis thing. Every single Div 1 college tennis player would destroy the best female player in the world. Most Div 2 college players would beat her as well. I speak from experience. When I was a freshman in college I participated in a promotional event for a new indoor tennis club in the area. I was asked to play an exhibition against Hana Mandlíková. Just one set. I could have "bageled" (6-0) her but tanked a game when I was up 5-0. Her publicist was pissed at me. Hana was great. She was #3 in the World at the time.

If the video I saw a month ago is correct GM will be out of business in a couple years. GM basically gave the Chinese rights to the GM name in foreign markets and farmed out powertrain engineering to them.

I had initial doubts about Mr. Trump, as I’m not a consumer of popular media. I knew vaguely who he was. I figured he was some eleventy dimensional chess to help ensure Mrs. Clinton got her sorry, corrupt Very Large Array installed.
But I decided to give it some time. “Let’s see who starts screeching after a couple weeks” and I was not disappointed. All the right people were freaking out.
The”experts” assured us ANY Republican could beat Felonia Von Pantsuit, with the exception of Mr. Trump.
This was twaddle from the get go. It was clearly obvious ONLY Mr. Trump could prevail against TFW. Thank God.

the overall point of your 'battle of the sexes" tennis note is correct but nick krygios [sp?] was not that long ago a top-20-type men's player----he does not play on tour as much now due to [burnout? injury?]. so even though this is one more instance where a male's greater size/strength/speed is too much for a woman competitor it's not quite accurate to think of nick k as a bottom of the barrel men's player
