I'd take the politicians wringing their hands over trans athletes in middle and HS as a "safety" issue more seriously if they came out against HS football, which definitely has claimed more adolescent lives than anyone going up against a trans woman on the field. www.npr.org/2024/08/28/n...

Republicans are working hard to pretend Trump inherited a bad economy. He was handed an economy that analysts thought had no chance of recession and was expected to grow by 2.5% We will need lots of visuals like this. They are destroying a good economy

At a fundraiser for Chicago Lights, one of the best Not-For-Profits in the city IMHO. The Old Post Office build out/rehab is so lovely. Reminds me to love art deco as an era.

Every state cleans its voter rolls, to be sure, as people move and die, etc., but this is quite a huge one: Alabama purged roughly 14% of the names on its registered voter rolls. statescoop.com/wes-allen-al...

In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t. If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

What if I told you Martin Luther King, the Underground Railroad, Medgar Evers, John Brown's raid, Emmett Till's murder, Muhammad Ali, Fannie Lou Hamer, the Emancipation Proclamation, Rosa Parks and the Tuskegee Airmen all have the same origin story... A nationwide slave revolt started it all.

1. Today, powerful speeches from trans representatives in Montana SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr flipped 29 Republicans, killing anti-trans bills. While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation. Watch their speech. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Students invited me to a karaoke night at the basement student bowling alley/pool hall/arcade/. It was adorable watching them cheer each other on while all trying not to go up there. I haven’t seen much sober karaoke. good for my soul to see all these young folks having a ball.

Finally, someone who is eloquent and brave enough to call it like it is when it comes to antisemitism. Very impressed by this young woman. "Trump has highlighted and platformed neo-Nazis and white supremacists."

SO wanted me to watch the new Daredevil. I typically promise 3 episodes to see if a show is worth my time. I worried that not seeing the previous Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Punisher, Luke Cage nor Iron Fist might be a problem for me but he didn’t think it would. I got ten minutes in.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

My article on voter support for disabled candidates is now published at doi.org/10.1086/732994. I find that left-wing voters in UK+US favour disabled candidates, while right-wing voters prefer non-disabled candidates - but only because voters assume disabled candidates to be more left-wing. [1/2]
