Library levy 71.7% yes IN THE FIRST DROP !!!

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Someone was SNATCHED the NEXT DAY from the Seattle Center! They went back to clean up after a mass shooting and got kidnapped to be sent to a concentration camp!!!

"Should we recall the mayor for firing the very well paid out-of-state cop?" FUCKERS PEOPLE ARE BEING SENT TO CONCENTRATION CAMPS RIGHT NOW

the wnba alienating their core audience for the sake of people who wouldn’t watch a wnba game to save their child’s life is a bold gambit, to be sure

Same with gender-affirming care for kids. Good-faith concern would be, "gee we should be making sure kids are appropriately assessed before receiving care and don't end up regretting it," realizing the numbers are tiny, kids are assessed and regret rates are miniscule and then dropping it.

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

and I wake in the morning and I step outside and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I scream at the top of my lungs

STOP SHOVING AI IN EVERYTHING!

We really care about making leftycheatsheet.org easy and even fun to use! If you have suggestions for making it more user-friendly, please let us know. For example, one user suggested adding in Seattle Times as a reference/anti-endorsement source (😂), so that’s been done now. 🥳

My 81-year-old parents, who were both Reaganites back in the day, went to a Doug Jones strategy session last night in their little south Alabama town. People are in motion everywhere, as @prisonculture.bsky.social likes to say.

I still think about this pretty much every day. A perfect encapsulation of our dystopia

For $7 an hour, virtual assistants in the Philippines are using AI to write LinkedIn posts and comments on behalf of Western executives, fueling a "thought leadership" content mill https://restofworld.org/2026/virtual-assistant-linkedin-engagement/?utm_campaign=row-social

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

To me, any Democrat who runs for President and doesn't begin by promising to fire everyone at ICE on week 1, cannot be taken seriously about anything else.

When I see leftist people cheering shit like this, I always ask what they plan to do to encourage socialization among teens. We've destroyed most in-person hang out spaces and most of those that remain are openly hostile to teens. They never have any idea It's just "internet bad. Make go away."

NEW: In addition to a total ban on social media for kids under 16, the UK is planning a social media "curfew" for 16 and 17-year-olds and a crackdown on apps' most addictive features, like autoplay videos. by @milesklee.bsky.social: www.wired.com/story/the-uk...

Sorry to anyone who needs the elevators to work. The Seattle Times says you should be happy with access to the children’s room on Level 1. Access to floors 2-10 is a luxury we do not deserve.

Labeling basic maintenance on elevators and escalators at the Central Library as "improved elevator access" is WILD

Called it

After coming out opposed to universal school meals, it's hard for me to see the Seattle Times Editorial Board endorsing the library levy renewal.

✍️ Megan Rapinoe, writing for Marie Claire “No girl deserves to be discriminated against. That’s why all girls, including trans girls, should be able to play with their classmates in the sports they love… girls who don’t fit someone else’s expectation of femininity, will face further harassment.”

Anti-Trans Legislation Isn't About "Protecting Girls"—It's About Distracting Us From What Matters

"If we really cared about safety and fairness in sports, we’d be breaking down barriers facing girls at every level," writes Megan Rapinoe.

been a lot of talk about this but if you look closely you can see the exact moment chelsea gray told her that lindsey graham died

JK Rowling signed the Harper's Letter just so you know how full of shit everyone who signed it was.

The fact that not a single MSM outlet has reported on JK Rowling threatening Amnesty International into silence & forcing them to censor factual reporting is horrifying & shameful. There’s not been a more egregious attack on free speech & human rights in the anglosphere’s recent history

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

Amnesty removes report that called JK Rowling's centre 'anti-rights'

Amnesty International UK has removed a report which labelled JK Rowling's sexual abuse crisis centre Beira's Place as "anti-rights".

Saddened to hear my good friend the Finger Taker has passed away. I never agreed with him about amputating people's fingers in his dungeon, but I'll always remember the collegial good times, and most of all his great sense of humor. What laughs we had. Condolences to Ginny and his whole family.

Very embarrassing to sing Wonderwall after you win

ACAB includes VAR

Fans everywhere, of every sport, love it when something happens and then Sports Lawyers watch video for a while and tell us it didn't happen.

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

The potential demise of E-Rate has libraries on edge. One director told me it would blow a $20-30,000 hole in their budget and service cuts could follow. www.route-fifty.com/people/2026/...

Libraries lament ‘cascading effects’ of E-Rate’s potential demise

Advocates warned the FCC’s vote to review the program could blow massive holes in their budgets and force service reductions or even closures if new funding sources aren’t found.
