I’m not sure “love wins” is the takeaway from the Supreme Court refusing to hear Kim Davis’s case. Legally, it rested on a pretty weak argument and an illogical premise.
I’m not convinced someone (Ken Paxton) isn’t looking for a stronger case to argue upwards.

Ok, creeping fascism is one thing but publishing a photo of the winner of GBBO before the episode had aired in the US is a step too far, NYT.

Greg Abbott wants to force cities to use taxpayer money to undo crosswalks paid for by private donations, or he’ll endanger public safety by withholding money for roads.

The people who said the Rapture was going to be yesterday are now saying they meant Wednesday, but they seemed really sure on Saturday when they were telling the Wednesday people they were wrong, and it’s like who are you kidding you aren’t going anywhere even if it is Wednesday 💅🏼

I know this is very off topic, but…does Kate Atkinson’s “Life After Life” get any better? I’m struggling to see why anyone read it in the first place, let alone why it made the 100 best books of the 2000s list.
