fix your hearts
I've been playing rocket league lately and I've noticed that there are tons of people on there more skilled than I am, but who are terrible at it because they don't understand how to position themselves. Then they get mad at "tm8s" because they're losing. This is a post about journalists on Bluesky.
If I were Bill Simmons - who outed a trans woman at Grantland, leading to her suicide - I would not let my staff talk about trans issues ever again!
