My home district is Utah’s 2nd, a Republican gerrymander taking in most of (Democratic) Salt Lake City proper along with the (very Republican) western rural counties and St. George. Incumbent Republican Chris Stewart won reelection over Democrat Kael Weston in 2020:
@hecubian_devil What about, "My friend Steve can" (or broadly, some variant on "[masculine name] can").
I don't know if it's perfect, but I think maybe having an example (*a* man who can get pregnant) is easier than getting bogged down in categories.
Nearly a decade after it was initially announced, the next project in the Patlabor mecha anime franchise is getting closer to finally being released. https://t.co/FXmnMexhS0

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.
the increasing frequency of assassinations and general political violence in the united states is a terrible thing that is indicative of an unraveling society. there will be negative consequences for everyone.
I wrote an article for Streetsblog! It discusses loud cars in NYC, the problems with catching (and deterring) them, and how an already-existing city program could help.
Of the 326,509 vehicle noise complaints NYPD responded to between 2020 and 2025, roughly half were dismissed either because police “observed no evidence of the violation” or because “the condition [was] gone.” https://t.co/TwvSAllUej
This is awful. Reliable economic data is a key strength of the US economy.
When Argentina and Greece faked economic data it contributed to major crises.
I don't think Trump will be able to fake the data given the procedures. But there is now a risk plus an awful appearance.
Oh, I hate when a 7.62cm cube appears in the crown prince's head. But I love when it starts a big, fun murder mystery. @SBonkowsky reviews Daniel O'Malley's Royal Gambit for Reactor:

Zohran Mamdani brought the heat on Tuesday, and torched Andrew Cuomo's bid to come back from disgrace. He's likely to become the next mayor of New York City thanks to fervent support from progressive hotbeds in Brooklyn and Queens blazing through the city's geographic center.
Officials in Utah said the same thing when they passed their own ban on gender-affirming care for minors—right up until their own commissioned study found it was beneficial! Nonsense from SCOTUS.
Important bit of Thomas's concurrence: "There are particularly good reasons to question the expert class here, as recent revelations suggest that leading voices in this area have relied on questionable evidence, and have allowed ideology to influence their medical guidance."
Pretty horrifying that this is where we are and also a vast overreach of federal power to do this to a senator who was asking a question in a public press conference.
