There's talk of a referee being bribed to fix the men's Canada/US gold medal game but unlike the US team, the Canadians aren't jumping on their soapboxes crying foul and game rigged. Class vs ass.

Difficulty is not a genre is one of the soapboxes I’m committing to
Of accessibility settings and that just depresses me. In 2025 still not understanding that difficulty is not a genre and that people have different level of enjoyment and experience is a really bad take to have. I wish we would stop calling it an artistic preference

At this point, I think that we need to bring back old school street preachers with soapboxes and flyers just to get the word out about what Trump and Musk have been doing.

honestly one of my top-10 medieval soapboxes, along with bathing: YES UNDERWEAR EXISTED

Overlooked and Undervalued: Underwear in the Middle Ages - Medievalists.net
Despite being one of the most important garments, underwear is the part of medieval clothing that is often ignored and unexplored in historical fiction and costuming.

Don’t even get me started on how coding was originally done by women because it was considered secretarial work and paid almost nothing, until the dude-bros rebranded it and then usurped the field and drove all the women out. That is one of my ✨special✨ soapboxes.
i never under why people said Silicon Valley was exceptionally liberal when women and people of color have always been very underrepresented and discriminated against there.

One of my soapboxes is that this place has never been a "white homeland." This is Indigenous land! Native nation and people have been here since before the glaciers receded.
Every group the fascists are tormenting has a 500 year history here. Black Americans are not alone in that thanks to empire.

This was framed most clearly in a tweet by the Harry Potter author saying she had seen a "recent spate of bearded men stepping confidently onto their soapboxes to define what a woman is."
So, who are these bearded men, what's the big deal about beards? 3/

It's genuinely funny that Lorenz is pearl clutching about this despite one of her main soapboxes (kids being allowed to have phones at all times) is just a massive FTC violation because she's being paid by a company that sells children's smartphones
NEW: A dark money group Is secretly funding high-profile Democratic influencers, offering influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content.
