First Ted Lasso and now Kitchen Nightmares. A few weeks ago, we ate at Jazzy B’s near KC. It was very meh—so much so we didn’t finish it. Not two weeks later, we find out that Gordon Ramsey is in town filming a Kitchen Nightmares episode at…Jazzy B’s. Not sure I want to see it. 🤢 😆

I will be voting NO on amendment 3 (it bans trans procedures that are already illegal under MO law AND an abortion ban—the trans bans are to obfuscate the abortion ban) I will vote YES on amendment 6 because it protects the petition procedure for Missouri voters. respectmovoters.org/amendment-6

Oh, sweet summer child. Missouri lawmakers never get tired of fucking over their voters. Exhibit A: All of the “Vote YES on Amendment 3 to end transgender operations for youths” signs up that conveniently omit that a yes vote will also institute an abortion ban that MO voters already rejected.

As far as bullets go, that was probably just a 22 given the stranglehold the GOP already has on MO. But it was very meaningful to those of us here in KC. Thank you!

I didn't fully understand why people opposed trans athletes so vehemently until this week. It's about money & jockeying for college. I learned this week my fellow suburbanites spend from $3-10k A YEAR for their kids to play competitive sports. It is batshit crazy. This is a calculated decision.

So, they *did* hold him in contempt, but also found that since he sent the notifications out to the election boards to use the old maps between this morning's hearing and this afternoon's hearing, he had purged his contemptuous behavior.

No, he was there (dumb red blazer was evident on the dude sitting behind the attorney representing him.) This was just a "we heard what you had to say, but we aren't done with you" kind of moment.

The MO GOP is threatening to impeach the SC if they hold Sec. of State Hoskins in contempt. They seem like they are ready to do it, though (based on the hearing I just watched.)

There's a deadline that the MO Sec. of State is using to "defend" his actions (in the contempt hearing.) Plaintiffs suggested to the MO Supreme Court that in light of what has happened, they should circumvent the Sec. of State and directly order local election boards to the use old map. I agree.

I just watched the MO Supreme Court contempt hearing for Hoskins. The last word from the judges as they stood up--"We advise that your client not stray too far from Jefferson City." Between that and the pursed lips I saw during the hearing, it doesn't look good for him...

Nope--complicit with the AG's end run around the MO Supreme Court via an (apparently) activist MO federal judge who made a ruling conflicting with the MO Supreme Court immediately after the SCOTUS decision. MO Supreme Court is not happy, though. bsky.app/profile/theq...

Keep Calm and Cari On @thequiltedbear.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
There was more to the plan--that's the only reason Kavanaugh declined. A MO Federal Judge ruled immediately after the SCOTUS decision that the gerrymandered map be used, and Hoskins said they will. The MO Supreme Court is now ordering Hoskins to explain how he's not in contempt, though. #StayTuned

I think Hoskins and Hanaway were trying to be clever in their strategy--unfortunately for them (or at least for Hoskins), I think they may have miscalculated how pissed off the MO Supreme Court was going to be at being blatantly defied.
Supreme Court of Missouri
SC101805
September 8, 2026

Richard von Glahn, Appellant,
vs.
Denny Hoskins, in His Official Capacity, et al., Respondents
Order
Respondent Denny Hoskins is hereby ordered to show cause, if any, why he should not be held in contempt for violating this Court's injunction dated September 3, 2026, entered before the statutory deadline of September 3, 2026, and before the temporary restraining order entered
by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri of that same date. Respondent is ordered to specifically address why: (1) his e-mail on September 8, 2026, instructing use of the HB 1 map is not an affirmative violation of this Court's injunction; (2) how
this Court's injunction is not still in full force and effect in light of the Supreme Court of the United Sates’ overruling of Respondent's emergency application for stay and administrative stay pending appeal; and (3) if he is not willing to comply with this Court's injunction, he should take no action in all things related to the congressional district map until guidance is received from a higher court with jurisdiction to review this Court's judgment and injunction and the United States district court’s injunction, see 28 US.C. § 1257; Ballinger v. Culotta, 322 F,3d
546,548 (8th Cir. 2003).

Respondent's response is due on or before 12:00 p.m., September 9, 2025. Movant Richard von Glahn's response, if any, is due on or before 4:00 p.m., September 9, 2026. The Court will not allow filings from any other parties on this matter or allow for any briefing or filings from amicus curiae. Oral argument on this matter is set for September 10, 2026, at 10:00 AM. Respondent Denny Hoskins is ordered to appear in person.

By: <signature> Chief Justice

I would guess it’s because it mostly harkens back to “simpler” times at the precise moments when women feel overwhelmed with young children. Not having to track/understand complicated scientific issues, focus on “traditional” concepts that “feel right”—often more work but less cognitive load & fear.

I feel like it’s a little bit cheating to ask what a word is for something (e.g., pop vs. soda.) This makes it fairly easy to target people to certain regions.
