I'm an American living abroad and so naturally I get lots of "American voters abroad" ads, but I recently found out ALL of my English speaking foreign friends also get these ads regardless of their nationality, Canadian, Australian, Singaporean

I don’t know what should and shouldn’t be a penalty but a pretty good gauge would be when you see something happen and think “is a crime happening to that man?”

Blansas is happening. And if it doesn’t, the choices they will make to staunch the bleeding will cost them places like Texas. We may yet be able to smother them in their sleep.

I need to remind everyone, especially after their presentation today. Level-5 has been very openly using Generative AI in their game development and are proud of it. This includes their newly announced titles such as New World of Steam, Yo-Kai Watch 2 and Curious Village Remake.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."
The post has an orange "Comments Moderated" tag, 169 upvotes, and 134 comments.

Everyone: 'why do you have to make everything gay?'

Me: 'points to this quote from The Celluloid closet (1995)'
 
Picture of an ebook. Text says
"All the reading I was given to do at school was always heterosexual, every movie I saw was heterosexual, and I had to do this translation. I had to translate it into my life rather than seeing my life. Which is why when people say to me," Your work is not really gay work, it's universal" and I'd say "Up yours

I have little to add to the chat, but I will say this: Those of us who spend a lot of time talking about politics overestimate how much other people care about, or are even familiar with, the labels we use to describe, denigrate, or celebrate candidates. Sometimes we’re high on our own supply.

Missouri is voting on a proposal to raise the threshold to pass future state constitutional amendments by statewide ballot measure. If it passes, future ballot measures would need majority support in each congressional district to pass instead of needing a statewide majority.

No: 926,781 votes 80.2%

you just don't go after bodily autonomy in Kansas- interestingly, the GOP doesn't seem to control the narrative on these kinds of questions, at all. their ads were like "don't you want democracy? that means voting for judges" and people mostly saw right thru it
