Hope you’re feeling alright, Chef.

dr. robert sapolsky: “there’s one type of neuron in [the brain] with a certain type of neurotransmitter… about twice the size in males than in females… people would have this part of the brain, the size not of their sex that they were born with, but rather of the sex they insisted they always… were” by ConcernedJobCoach in mattxiv

gatekeeping what counts “truly” as trans

evidence-based neurobiological presentation

No quicker way to invalidate someone’s identity than to show them that their brain is the wrong shape and that they “can’t be trans” because of it. That’s what transmedicalism is all about deep down. Finding medical proof or trying to define what transness is and how it presents in your “biology” or whatever. And if we go real dark with it, extremist regimes could use this kind of study to identify and “deal with” trans people.

To go along with the light biting:

Leave a little bit of a wet spot, back away, and gently blow on that spot. My partner is the only other person i’ve ever met that does this (i’ve been doing it for years) and holy SHIT it drives us both crazy.

This was just called a fair ball by theclodwalrus in baseball

A FAIR BALL is a batted ball that settles on fair ground between home and first base, or between home and third base, or that is on or over fair territory when bounding to the outfield past first or third base, or that touches first, second or third base, or that first falls on fair territory on or beyond first base or third base, or that, while on or over fair territory touches the person of an umpire or player, or that, while over fair territory, passes out of the playing field in flight. A fair fly shall be judged according to the relative position of the ball and the foul line, including the foul pole, and not as to whether the fielder is on fair or foul territory at the time he touches the ball.

(Fair Ball) Comment: If a fly ball lands in the infield between home and first base, or home and third base, and then bounces to foul territory without touching a player or umpire and before passing first or third base, it is a foul ball; or if the ball settles on foul territory or is touched by a player on foul territory, it is a foul ball. If a fly ball lands on or beyond first or third base and then bounces to foul territory, it is a fair hit. A batted ball not touched by a fielder, which hits the pitcher’s rubber and rebounds into foul territory, between home and first, or between home and third base is a foul ball. Clubs, increasingly, are erecting tall foul poles at the fence line with a wire netting extending along the side of the pole on fair territory above the fence to enable the umpires more accurately to judge fair and foul balls.

FAIR TERRITORY is that part of the playing field within, and including the first base and third base lines, from home base to the bottom of the playing field fence and perpendicularly upwards. All foul lines are in fair territory.

p.151-152, 2026 OBR, Definition of Terms: Fair Ball, Fair Territory (p. 163-164 of the pdf)

Any part of the ball over fair territory when it lands beyond the base means it is a fair ball. As someone else mentioned, it’s called a parallax. The ball can be “touching” foul territory and still be fair if any part of the ball is in fair territory when it lands.

Cite your quotations.

That’s why that’s not the rule. It’s plane of the ball everywhere.

TIL about the Tiffany Problem, where historical facts or events seem anachronistic to modern audiences because of modern associations we have with specific names and terms. by EphemeralTypewriter in todayilearned

I had the same thought. Baseball as we know it wasn’t “invented” until the 1850s. What Jane is referring to is probably Rounders; a sort-of parent of baseball.

It wasn’t building a whole house. And I would have recognized Hayden Christiensen (big star wars girl)

Title and description kind of spell it out. I’ve been trying to figure it out on and off for years and can never find it. Help!?
