Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

SCOTUS rejected a bid by a former Kentucky county official to overturn its landmark 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, as the justices steered clear of the contentious case some 3-1/2 years after its conservative majority reversed abortion rights reut.rs/3XjD9Cu

Genuinely impressed by how the small Hunterian and Horniman museums have managed to position themselves as agents for positive social change while owning up to their monstrous origins.

Trump called Biden “sleepy,” because Trump is an old man who struggles to stay awake.
Trump called Hillary “crooked,” because Trump is incredibly crooked.
Trump called Ted Cruz “lyin’” because Trump is a serial liar.
We’re a decade into this. How do people still not get it?

⚽ Premier League updates from the 12.30pm GMT kick-off
⚽ Live scores | Edwards stood down by Boro | And mail Tim
This will be the fifth time that Amorim has started with a middle four of Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes and Dorgu, according to sources close to United Writing. They have had mixed results, losing on the road and winning at home. They lost at Chelsea, lost the Europa League final to Spurs, beat Villa at the end of last season and then beat Chelsea this season – but both those wins had a big hand from the opposing goalie, who was sent off.
Today’s front three – Amad, Cunha and Mbeumo – have never started a game as the front three before. They are the 27th different front three Amorim has picked in his year at United. Continue reading...
