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.

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, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve 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.

Lotta heat on publishers for obvious reasons but the article makes a good point about wholesalers 👀

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
This broke me from the first paragraph
"For Melissa Hortman’s 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."

Keep em alive.
ICE wants to deport a BYU PhD student for the crime of organizing a church fishing trip 6 years ago, where he himself did not fish but the other attendees caught too many.

I'm buying a ticket to the closest NZ Taco Bell right now.
NEW @npr.org EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data from the NLRB and hid its tracks.
It's possible that the data included sensitive info on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets.
A must-read from @jennamclaughlin.bsky.social:
The CDC's cruise ship inspectors have been laid off, as well as agency's head epidemiologist for investigating cruise ship outbreaks
That baffled health officials since this program is paid for by cruise ship fees, not taxpayer dollars

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:
