the City of Boise's increasingly aggressive campaign against the state's repeated attempt to ban pride flags flown by cities is extremely funny

Legal theorists obsess over the countermajoritarian difficulty, the idea that it is undemocratic for judges to stand in the way of legislation enacted by the elected legislature Voters, meanwhile, love it and will defend it
Douglas Keith@douglaskeith.bsky.social · 20h agoKansas voters sent a strong message tonight - they want a judiciary that stands up to the legislature, not one controlled by it or shaped by big money judicial elections
Every dollar spent on a political campaign could’ve done more (actual, objective) good somewhere else.
Maybe after EA implodes, we can have Maxis emerge from the ashes.
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 21h agoEA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest
The inventor of the contrabassoon: what if we found a way to make farts
Today's vote in Kansas on whether to hold partisan elections for Kansas Supreme Court seats is not about "democracy." It is about Republican politicians who are angry at the court and Kansas voters for protecting abortion rights, and who want to reshape the court to do what Republicans want.
The Push to Elect Kansas Supreme Court Justices Is a Cynical Anti-Abortion Power Grab
In 2022, Kansas voters overwhelmingly rejected the GOP’s anti-abortion agenda. Four years later, state lawmakers are trying “another path.”
ballsandstrikes.org
NEW: Voters have rejected Republicans' scheme to unseat the Kansas Supreme Court's Dem-appointed majority and overturn abortion rights. Amendment 1 would have let the GOP replace the system of a nominating commission, gubernatorial appointment, and retention elections with direct partisan elections

WNBA needs to realize and quick that transphobes will never buy tickets because they don't actually give a fuck about women's sports. But the fans who DO give a fuck will not take kindly to hand-wringing or both-sidesing over this reactionary culture war horseshit

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4w agoA friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?
Ugh I hate when a hot guy shaves their beard and they are immediately less attractive to me
CNN’s Harry Enten: “In a word, ‘yikes’: Trump's moderate GOP support is collapsing. He led them by 69 points vs Harris in 2024. His net approval now is +10 pt. A 59 pt shift. He was more trusted vs Harris on the economy by 80 pt. Net approval now? +3 pt. A 77 pt shift! On inflation, he's at -17 pt!”

Can confirm. As Gabe posted this I'm in beautiful Prague riding trams that are nearly 10km/h faster on average than Toronto's, despite having large sections in mixed traffic. Let's catch up with the rest of the world, reduce emissions and boost the economy!

Trump has dismantled a hundred years worth of environmental protections and the Sunrise Movement's banner image in August 2026 is a photo of them protesting Kamala Harris.
Horrific. This is awful, and all because Trump is a petulant, dementia riddled, malignant cancerous tumor, intent on destroying anything and everything he thinks he can profit from. There’s so much I want to type out, which is unproductive. I just wish…I just wish.

2016 was the important one. Everything since has been a reaction as every reckoning this party & country need remains untouched. 2020 was an opportunity & the admin we had did what they could w/ what they were given. It was far more than you’ll give them credit for. The time for more unity was 2024.
So that’s the thing to know, if you’re a tabloid that’s going to name-check me in another round of transphobic shit about Bluesky discourse. I don’t stand with you. I stand with my trans friends and family members. ⏹️
My TV job is apolitical, but I’m proud that one of the things we make is a space that’s trans- and nb-friendly, and that’s not going to change either. ⬇️

It was so bad that year it straight up took out a huge chunk of Republican voting districts that’s why the Republicans were tepidly pushing it. If it wasn’t for the fact it was annihilating their voting block they would have hard denied it during the pandemic.
