  1. Oh-noes! Political poster banned for the election for refusing to hot take in the CR.
  2. Whatever the motivation, surveys of US citizens on this subject reflect a growing number of folks who support banning trans athletes in women’s sports. In 2021, 28% favored a ban. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/new-poll-shows-americans-overwhelmingly-oppose-anti-transgender-laws In 2022, 58% favored a ban. https://news.gallup.com/poll/507023/say-birth-gender-dictate-sports-participation.aspx Last year, 69% favored a ban. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2022/06/28/americans-complex-views-on-gender-identity-and-transgender-issues/
  3. I remember getting a text from a buddy, drunk off his ass, and outraged at a similar dynamic during the Olympics. Turns out, lots of folks were yelling about her sex parts. Later, I read the Olympic committee in charge of determining eligibility had issued a statement that the athlete was a woman. She deserved better.
  4. I’m thankful for Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan as their questions were often fact based. That’s one way to deal with directives that there will be no fact checking. Kudos, ladies.
  5. Jasmine Crockett will appear on MSNBC after commercials. Michael Steele: “Oh, yes! Oh, yes!”
  6. Just saw, on MSNBC, Ignatius O’Reilly mocking both candidates for misrepresenting the role of VPOTUS.
  7. “Vance is the only Vice Presidential candidate in US history who doesn’t know who won the last election.” -Lawrence O’Donnell
  8. I think the right is comfortable owning misinformation, framing the idea of misinformation as merely opinion, as opposed to that which is verifiably false.
  9. “Kamala wants to censor people who engage in misinformation…”
  10. Until it does. If history is any guide, it will.
  11. TIL that some silica crystals melt at a higher temperature than alumina.
  12. Here’s hoping that those folks who transplanted to Texas for political reasons will gtfo when our state flips back to blue.
  13. I would think the mayor is likely dirty.
  14. Fixed it to align with Republican rhetoric being the converse of their reality.
  15. No fact checking is one reason our country has become so fucking fucked.
  16. Fuck if I have kept up with those folks. Abbott might be from here, but the land itself rejected him.
  17. That’s fair. But they needed carpetbaggers to get the votes.
  18. Y’all, native Texans did not vote in the current shit show.
  19. Got to say, were I in a room with a person I truly believed was evil, I’d have a difficult time of it.
  20. 14-6 at halftime, and my irritation has led me to this thread, because I need to proclaim that there is no thread I hate more than this one.
  21. She doesn’t care. What’s her Surly handle?
  22. I’ll never forget my mil confiding in me: “I’ve never told anybody this, but I voted for Kennedy.”
