Page 1 of a legal Judgment document from the United States District Court, District of Oregon for Case No. 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on 04/18/26. The plaintiffs are listed as "STATE OF OREGON, et al.," and the defendants are "ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR., in his official capacity as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, et al." The document is from United States District Judge Kasubhai. It outlines that final judgment is entered in favor of the Plaintiffs on Counts I, II, III, and IV. Item 3 states the Court holds unlawful, sets aside, and vacates the "Declaration of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services RE: Safety, Effectiveness and Professional Standards of Care for Sex-Rejecting Procedures on Children and Adolescents".

Page 2 of a legal judgment document for Case 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on April 18, 2026. The text outlines a court order declaring that defendants lack the authority to unilaterally establish standards of care that supersede professionally recognized standards for gender-affirming care in the Plaintiff States. It permanently enjoins defendants and their agents, including the HHS-OIG, from enforcing the "Kennedy Declaration" against providers in those states. The document is dated April 18, 2026, and is signed by United States District Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai.

Huge news: the court has entered final judgement in Oregon v Kennedy (HHS trans youth care ban) and has vacated the Kennedy declaration and permanently enjoined its enforcement to target gender clinics.

Well obviously the bigger fly is going to get there first if they're walking, it's got longer legs.

The part where they screw up getting across the bridge so badly that the DM just has to ass-pull a magic artifact that can do it so they won't just be stuck.

The cover of "The Demon of Beausoleil" by Mari Costa. A cambion looking kind of evil-ish while another guy lies down in a pentagram.

The Demon of Beausoleil, lovely book by @marinscos.bsky.social that I picked up because I enjoyed Belle of the Ball so much. Much more adult than Belle, but really charming and fun; it's about a cambion who gets disowned for seducing his sister's fiancee and has to make a living demon hunting. Neat!

I wouldn't go quite this far, but this (Tokyo Godfathers) is my second-favorite Christmas movie after The Muppet Christmas Carol, you have gotta watch it, it's so good.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here

he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor

and still, they threw him out

and you know what? they did it by voting

don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

Image: A small, angry boy stands in front of his parents. They are in modern clothes, but he is dressed as a regency gentleman with top hat, breeches, cane etc. He says "No title, no estates, and less than a thousand a year! How am I ever to find a wife!" Caption: Noah's parents realise that he has been drawn into the manorsphere.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com #manosphere

To any Hungarians annoyed that Americans are placing the credit for your momentous victory on the shoulders of our stunningly repellent little weasel of a VP: you are correct to feel that way, I'm sorry, we just want to seize any available oppurtunity to humiliate him specificially

The Calvin's dad explaining records meme. He is explaining that the two kinds of meme are Calvin's dad and Loss. Despite being a meme about Calvin's dad, this one is Loss.

I enjoyed Isabella Nagg And The Pot of Basil, and I bet if you like Pratchett you'll like it too.

(fake) Tom Scott video thumbnail featuring 1973's The Wicker Man. "Can this ritual bring their apples back?" I will be blocking anyone who makes an "oh god the bees" reference, that is a different movie not worthy of discussion.

"The Scottish island of Summerisle, home of the best fruit in Britain. The first thing you notice? No churches. The farmers here practice a fascinating form of pre-Christian worship…and I just learned I'll be playing the lead role in their annual May Day festival. First stop: my costume fitting."

This stuff is great when you're a kid because it tells you "the world is so much bigger and older and more complicated than the tiny bit you've experienced," and it gets you excited to learn about it.

Maybe this is just America's thing, once every quarter-millennium we must do battle with a mad king to restore the nation's honmoon, and we just didn't know because this was the first one we got to.

I love "Yes, Always" because they parodied something that's still sorta obscure now, in a 90s, for a young audience. Pre-Internet, did even one kid in a thousand know about the Orson Welles frozen peas commercial? And yet you understood that it was about SOMEthing, and your horizons were expanded.

A map of Wisconsin counties after the 2026 spring elections, it's like half blue because the conservative candidate faceplanted in not only the population centers but tons of smaller counties that usually go red.

Kinda fun to see one of these where we don't have to explain about the little blue spots being cities.

Liberals Gain Seat on Wisconsin Supreme Court, Adding to Firewall in Voting Cases - Bolts Voters in Wisconsin ensured on Tuesday that the supreme court in one of the nation’s premier swing states will be controlled by liberals through at least 2030.  Chris Taylor, a... Read More

JUST IN: Liberals have won a decisive victory for the Wisconsin supreme court race tonight.

Chris Taylor will join the supreme court, flipping a conservative-held seat.

This expands liberals' majority on the court to 5-2.

Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos, a Magic the Gathering book by Seanan McGuire.

@seananmcguire.bsky.social once again my habit of preordering things and then forgetting when they come out so I just get delightful surprise packages pays off! As someone who read them in the 90s, I am so thrilled that Magic novels are back.

There's that moment in so much fiction when the villain tells the hero that empathy makes them weak and it's why they'll lose, and apparently 40 percent of our country sees that and thinks, "You know, Syndrome makes some good points there."

This is what I think of every time someone is like "What do you expect the Democrats to do?"

In 1970, students in a fifth-grade class at Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills were assigned to write a letter to someone they admired, asking them “What makes a good citizen?"

So 10yr old Joel Lipton wrote to Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz.

Joel got a reply.

haha, he did say "I don't usually do this" and I was like, geez, and I'M the one that made you break that seal? I can see how it would get really old if that happened all the time but for it to just happen the once was actually very affirming.

Some guy hit on me out of his car once and I was like "should this guy be driving without corrective lenses?"

This is what social media is meant to be about.

"beyond spellcheck?" How dare they try to claim spellcheck as an AI thing just because it's useful. (I'm sure AI can do it, but so could computers in the 90s.)

All Anti-LGBTQ Legislation Defeated in Georgia as 2026 Session Ends "Scapegoating LGBTQ+ Georgians is not a winning political strategy," said Georgia Equality's executive director.

Great news out of Georgia!

ALL of the 15 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have died as the Georgia legislative session comes to a close.

This was only possible with intense efforts from local LGBTQ+ activists.

Fan art of Daisy, as played by Samantha Mathis in the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie. She’s shown wearing three outfits that appear in the movie: Archaeologist clothing, a purple fade dress and a white and purple jumpsuit. The latter being barely visible in the final scene of the movie, but is shown in full in behind-the-scenes photography.

I see this all the time and never knew the correct term for it! (This is true of both the argument and the literal buildings.)

I think when I complain about AI people think im not educated to know the difference between generative AI and just machine learning and,like,

im aware the field is called AI is not generative AI. it has other things

BUT YA'LLS PPL ADVERTISED GENERATIVE AI AS AI!!! SO THATS WHAT PEOPLE THINK.
