      Yeah, I saw “Gay student says coach” and went “oh no, not AGAIN?!?!” Then saw “Tim Walz” and was briefly all “fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck” until I read the rest.

      How bad is it that headlines about terrible abuse are so much more common than positive stories that my brain just went to bad first thing.

      One day I want to see news as something other than filler to grab ad revenue.

      I’d like institutional reform in the athletic sector too, but I can’t decide which is less likely to actually happen.

        If the positive news is about something new being created or solved, then sure.

        But this really shouldn’t be news. “Person helped another person” should not be strange enough to warrant reporting on, much less from someone we’re electing to be a leader.
