Columbus City Council voted to approve the Haslam Sports Group's land and money grab to secure an NWSL franchise in Columbus. There are a lot of people articulating why this is an awful deal but this article from @matternews.bsky.social
sums it up pretty succinctly tinyurl.com/m6k7mttd #nwsltocbus

Columbus folks -- when voting YES on Issue 5 make sure you have the right ID! ⬇️

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

i decided to try making the most basic-ass video for a drag show (static image. next static image. back to first image.) but everything has AI on it now. I HATE THIS WITH A BURNING PASSION.

one of my many toxic traits is that when a cat meows at me I'll often say "I know" even though I have absolutely no idea what they're saying and I am simply trying to be agreeable

HELL YES GOOD NEWSSS

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.

The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.

Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

there was the commissioning and then canceling of that Pride collection by queer and trans artists, then there was the DEI rollback, now it’s AI-driven false arrests. Target is setting land-speed records for torching customer goodwill, given how high their popularity and how far they had to fall

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!"

The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

my kink is seeing fascists lose

I keep thinking about Jay’s thread from months ago. It’s about comics but it could be about any industry

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

yea gen z wants to have wilder taxes than the american system has the capability or capacity to understand

don't you know this boomers

Me (short) and @samarbles.bsky.social

Dude still hitting every day.

This is the playbook. Big things, small things. Proclaim them loudly, with humor and empathy. Show the people doing the work with dignity and appreciation.

This isn't complicated.
