A single national standard for rental applications and renters rights is long overdue imo.
If lifelong renting is the new reality. Legal protections need to be updated, expanded and uniform across the country.
A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias). The text of his post reads: "I decided to put a long digression about women's sports and transgender rights into an article about the Israel/Palestine conflict — everyone will read this piece and decide I am correct about both issues and they will never be debated again." Below his text is a screenshot of an article excerpt. The excerpt begins by noting that a non-trivial fraction of the population has "retrograde views about gender and sexual orientation" and embeds a tweet from Andrew Zywiec, M.D. (@AndrewZywiecMD) that states, "Homosexuality should be illegal." The article excerpt continues: "Hardcore bigots and remorseless opportunists are real features of conservative politics in the United States, and if you're a progressive who wants to be a good coalition partner, then a good way to approach the trans participation in women's sports issue is to just focus on those two groups because that lets you dodge the substance of the question. But someone like Martina Navratilova is not a Republican Party opportunist or a bigot with reactionary views about human sexuality. She's a person with an unusually high degree of interest in high-level women's sports and a considered view that the progressive approach to the issue is wrong."
A screenshot of a post on X by Martina Navratilova (@Martina). Her post reads: "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator..." She is quote-posting an account named Biology Rules Ok (@OkayBiology), whose post reads: "Official documents in New South Wales show him listed under the name Elisabeth Ruth Annikki Upton – and under sex it states 'female." Attached to that quote-post is a preview of a news article. The visible headline reads, "legal case registered as 'female' doctor in Australia", published by reporter Sian Maher on 20 Apr 2026. The article preview features a photograph of a transgender woman with blonde hair. Below the photo, the article text begins: "THE trans medic at the heart of a changing room row which cost taxpayers more than £400,000 has..."
Incredible how @mattyglesias.bsky.social says Martina Navratilova isn't a bigot the day after she baselessly calls an innocent trans woman forced to flee the UK, a sexual predator.
It's not about her interest in sports Matt!
And it means I will probably hit 40 and NOT be a dish pig
New update on my Schrodinger's employment situation:
The job I interviewed for was filled by another applicant, BUT apparently they are planning to offer me some kind of website & social media position.
I just don't know when. But this means the hours most likely won't overlap with my social life
Do you think you can satirize *that*? lmao
When they are upright I always picture bugs having been crawling around in them. So regardless of which way they're stored I tend to rinse them before use
Mark Butler’s NDIS cuts will force people with disabilities like mine to withdraw from society | Clem Bastow
Seems bad that the Trump administration is trying to use the FCC to scare media companies into actively avoiding stories related to trans people, tbh.

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.
That's like saying the hamburglar is weird because he keeps stealing burgers
???? No?
So I would use the debug mode to give myself enough rings to get Super Sonic lol
As a kid I never beat this game without cheats. I could get to the final stage, but the fact it has no rings is no bueno
Ending frame of Sonic 2 with Super Sonic
Yes I used save states to save myself frustration, and yes it took me lots of goes to get all the chaos emeralds. Especially that 4th special stage, fuck that stage. But hey.
160,000 people to be kicked off NDIS as government overhauls eligibility test
Mark Butler is an evil man and every the Labor politician who tows the party line instead of voting against this are genuinely bad people
My car window is finally fixed. So glad to put that shit behind me
That's because trans women are not men buddy

Hmm the lack of Bluesky showing this image doesn't help huh
Definitely a painstakingly detailed and beautifully rendered art piece and not just a 1280 x 1280 square the same color as a broken image on Bluesky, totally
Spent a long time on this art, now time to post it to very functional website BlueSky
My google search for "how can I get a full time job if I get migraines whenever I'm stressed"
No but really
Good day for the globalist cabal
The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.
Correct.
This is horrific. I feel physically ill.

Imagine advertising to the world that your troops are highly vulnerable to disease
surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters
I applied my steroid cream to it and it's a little better now but what the hell is this man. Why only my left arm.
Not even my bedsheets. So what the fuck
Like I was just lying in bed. The arm wasn't even touching anything when it started itching
