NWSL: Chicago Stars (For my sins)
International soccer: USWNT

Comms should probably drop this habit of complementing the technical skills of the Malawi players then saying things like “No doubt, she learnt THAT on the streets”

Maybe she learned it in the course of her career as a professional athlete?

No. No...this can't be right. I can't believe it.

I'm not saying hearing Holiday live from a Green Day cover band is as good as hearing it live from Green Day, but it's still good.

The rhetoric of ”Beirut is civilized because it’s Christian, not like that uncivilized backwater Yemen” is why no one should believe that Tucker Carlson is any sort of ally to subaltern Muslim communities, even if right now he chooses to focus his white nationalism on attacking Israel.

/2 3. People describing something that happened to them is a form of evidence by any measure.

4. I may not be allowed to argue to a jury "someone who preys on staffers is more likely to disdain consent" but I can absolutely form beliefs based on it.

1. People are not entitled to due process before I decide whether or not I like or dislike them or will vote for them.

2. My process of deciding whether I believe an allegation is not subject to the Federal Rules of Evidence.

For all the folks yammering about how “there’s no evidence” the Swalwell accusations are true: if the referenced events are entirely fabricated, how did he identify who to send cease and desist letters to?

Easy answer it’s Nader for spoiling Gore and ending the End of History by giving us Bush and Iraq which directly lead to Trump.

Better answer is his successful law fare on the American regulatory state killed the New Deal and Great Society with a million cuts and is why you can’t build homes now.

women were kept out of meetings and career opportunities at Pixar because John Lasseter was so much of a sex pest that people decided it was easier to simply not have them in the room with him

how many talented women didn’t get a fair chance because one guy couldn’t behave himself?

If you recognize which unnamed woman is talking because you're asked for comment and the comment makes it clear which of the woman's rape stories match your memory of events, and you text that specific woman and say "stop telling people I raped you," that is.... sure an admission of something.
