NEWS — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear criticizes fellow Democrats who say transgender athletes should be barred from women’s sports. “That is not the party that we are. We start as a party of compassion and empathy.”

This has been the issue since W. He didn't win the presidency cleanly and we all know it by now. But he advanced its power significantly and rolled back our rights. And no president since has seen fit to rectify either. And that is why we are here.

Love to pay to have a microwave installed only for it to die 9 months later and have to unmount it myself to get it repaired and there’s probably no way they’ll repair it so they’ll probably replace it and then I’ll have to install it myself. Customer service my ass.

Pretty funny that Ed Sheeran seemingly only hired Irish people and yet didn't see this coming.

“When Obama said he supported civil unions in the run-up to the 2008 and 2012 elections, he was offering gay people a slower pace of progress. When Democrats today triangulate on transgender rights, they are offering us a slower pace of decline.”

trying to get people to understand that the trans women in sports debate isn’t really about sports but a meta narrative pushed by the right all about slowly getting all trans people out of public life is truly impossible

There’s a tidy little paragraph that lays it all out. Simple as
I need those in the middle of the road to understand something. The people leading this charge don't want to protect girls in sport. They want trans people to be gone. And they never will get what they want because trans people always have existed and always will. This movement won't go away if you give it this victory. They will just take and take and take. There's no point placating a campaign founded on hate.

This is how it always goes. Before elections: "It all hangs on this election for the left." Progressive/leftist wins: "Will be interesting to see if they can actually govern" or "Hard to say if this has staying power." Moderate wins: "The center holds" or "It's over for the left."

Flock has justifiably received tons of outrage, but Axon (and a bunch of other companies) are also purveyors of mass surveillance. Canceling a Flock contract and replacing it with an Axon one is just changing your flavor of authoritarianism.

Roadtripping with an EV is fantastic because it breaks me of the “if I just go 5 mph over I’ll get there sooner” mentality and gets me into the “20 minutes to stretch and not be in the car is fantastic” mentality.

Has anyone who works on the Bluesky app actually used the secondary functions in the DM view? Pressing and holding on any message makes like 3 things pop up. Oh the post is tall? Good luck reacting to it! You cannot tell me someone tested this before shipping it.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero weren't murdered because of car pursuits. They were murdered because the men driving those cars felt comfortable recklessly killing. None of this ends until we shut down ICE completely.

No hell too hot. www.sunjournal.com/2026/07/13/i...
The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

 “You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

Endlessly frustrated with the Sheridan Road resurfacing in Uptown not having bike infrastructure (read: not paint) as part of the project. Happy about the curb extensions, but cars neeeeeed to be corralled since it’s so wide.

This is the second time in as many months that a city transportation planner and cycling advocate has been killed while riding. Last month Chicago lost Riley O’Neil, now the Boston cycling community had lost Louisa Gag. Gutting, infuriating, and completely preventable. No paywall: archive.ph/AJHAy

To add to this: it seems to be either or. Either I can receive the South Bend FOX affiliate, or the Chicago one… and yet they’re not on overlapping frequencies.
