Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses
"The legislature did not include a grace period."
It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports

Historian Kevin Kruse (@kevinmkruse.bsky.social) got irked about Musk banging on about how our multicultural society is a Bad Thing, and consequently wrote this screamingly fantastic little gem. Provides badly needed perspective especially for folks who don't know much about the US decades ago.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, Iโll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls weโve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.
This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.

I did an audio story on the history of bikes basically and how in some use cases they were better than cars - you can't parachute into a war zone with an automobile. As part of that research I learned that the original Curious George manuscript was smuggled out of Vichy France by bike /1

Brooks: Minnesotaโs greatest honor for a familyโs great loss
Former President Joe Biden paid his respects in person, and mourners waited in long lines to honor Melissa and Mark Hortman, and their dog Gilbert, as they lay in state at the Capitol.
This broke me from the first paragraph
"For Melissa Hortmanโs last day at work, they draped her coffin with pink flowers and filled the cold marble under the Minnesota Capitol dome with the green and growing things that she loved."
Thank you, @stribrooks.bsky.social

I know folks don't like giving out donations but PBS is a public good, often providing programming many companies are too frightened to.
A subscription costs less than your average streaming service and in some cases less you barely watch.
Keep em alive.

Today is the LAST DAY TO COMMENT.
This is vitally important (see the thread in the qrt for more info), but the short version is:
Comment we need to keep DACA ppl on the ACA, trans healthcare should be covered, and making the ACA less accessible to people is a no-go for you.
