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.”

Yeah... when we started our oldest with daycare we were sick nonstop for about a month. It was hell and felt like I was catching up on 5ish years of cold/flu viruses.

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

Just annoyed about the sound bites coming from Talarico re: trans rights. Sad to see someone who otherwise claimed to stand for something start to soften the tone and/or backslide in order to “seem more electable.”

The 151 actually! It has too many stops, is entirely dependent on how aggressive the bus driver is, and I’m not sure why they run articulated buses on that route during non-peak hours.

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.

The 151 needs maybe 50% of the stops it actually has.
