A decent chunk of my political philosophy is embodied by the phrase "It's never okay to kill children."

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

No finishers at 2026 Barkley Marathons in Frozen Head State Park See photos of the 40th Barkley Marathons, which took place in Frozen Head State Park in Wartburg, Tennessee, and began on Feb. 14, 2026.

Oh so slowly the pictures begin to emerge from behind the Barkley Marathons' curtain.

#BM100

Possibly the perfect summary of this weekend’s entertainment…

The 2026 Barkley Marathons began with one of the strongest fields ever. The starting field came from 15 Counties as well as 15 States, and included ten women. The course seemed not to care. Over 70% of the field is done. #BM100

This feels like an xkcd… context is more complex than I feel able to explain.

The rain has begun, several hours early. #BM100

Sad/exciting moment. With the weather forecast right now the bugler will be busy tonight…

Nope. Elite defences on show all night.

If Drake Maye pulls any more of that, this might become irrelevant

So why can’t I vote Jason Myers for MVP?

Another perfect Fullcast

Speaker Johnson Denounces Pope Leo’s Call to Welcome Migrants In a 1700-word criticism of Catholic teaching, the House leader claims God backs border crackdowns — and mercy is not the state’s concern.

Speaker Mike Johnson just tried to mansplain the Bible to the Vicar of Jesus Christ.

It’s the latest in a long MAGA campaign to smear Pope Leo XIV — and it falls apart under any honest reading of Scripture.

this is an excellent thread, courtney rules

Honk at TERFs, protect trans lives

"I’m not even sure it qualifies as a documentary, exactly, so much as an elaborate piece of designer taxidermy, horribly overpriced and ice-cold to the touch and proffered like a medieval tribute to placate the greedy king on his throne."

Why I’m launching a feminist video games website in 2026 I’ve been a games journalist since 2007, but still there isn’t much video games coverage that feels like it’s specifically for people like me. So I’m creating a home for it: Mothership

i wrote about mothership.blog for @theguardian.com today by the way. thanks so much to @mackeza.bsky.social for the opportunity to tell more people about mothership and what we are doing with the site <3 www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...
