“No girl deserves to be discriminated against. That’s why all girls, including trans girls, should be able to play with their classmates in the sports they love… girls who don’t fit someone else’s expectation of femininity, will face further harassment.”
Anti-Trans Legislation Isn't About "Protecting Girls"—It's About Distracting Us From What Matters
"If we really cared about safety and fairness in sports, we’d be breaking down barriers facing girls at every level," writes Megan Rapinoe.

Just a friendly reminder that Puzzle Spy international is on sale for 15% off for the Steam Summer Sale. (And while it's not on sale right now, you can also get the game's nice little sountrack for only $2.50 😁)

It's a poster for the Steam Summer Sale, complete with a sandy beach and sparkling water and pretty mountains and clouds. The text reads "Steam Summer Sale, June 25-July 9." Also included is an image of a banner for Puzzle Spy International (with Agent Epsilon, our logo, etc.) and a note that the game is 15% off, so instead of $12.50 USD, it's now only $10.61 for the sale.

An illustration of a smiling Agent Epsilon in a summer hat and wearing sunglasses in front of a grassy area with palm trees. Next to her is the Puzzle Spy International logo and a bunch of text that reads as follows: "Here's what players have been saying about PSI: If you enjoy word play and word search puzzles, then I would highly recommend Puzzle Spy International. - CindyK_JA I'm a long-time puzzle lover and yet each and every puzzle here felt unique and managed to surprise me in unexpected ways. - evyatron [My spouse and I] hardly ever play video games together, but this game is perfect for us to play as a team. - kdreibel If you can snag this on sale, do it! - RougesGambit Now on sale for the Steam Summer Sale"

Kagan points out in the dissent here that Alito is too much of a coward to even put Trump’s supposedly non-racist statements in his opinion.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Democrats have a lot of problems: poor leadership, corruption, lack of conviction, weakness against Trump, support for Israel, the age of their members, refusal to support extremely popular policies, etc. A problem they do not have is not speaking in plain language. That's just completely made up.

Here are some reviews for Puzzle Spy International. The Launch Sale is still going on for 2 more days so grab it for 15% off while you can!

A poster showing Agent Epsilon cheering, some environments from the game, and a yellow background. The text reads: "Reviews for Puzzle Spy International: Puzzle Spy International deserves to be played by way more people... You travel around the world, chatting with an excellent mix of characters... with the option of some flirting, and then solving a tricksy puzzle. And boy, they’re really good puzzles! - John Walker, Kotaku Right away, I was drawn into the story. I like Agent Epsilon, as she's sassy and intelligent (a perfect female main character, I think.) - The Introverted Gamer It's a perfect short-but-sweet puzzle game with an amazing hint system that ensures you never get frustrated! Everything about this game is delightful. The artwork is super cute, the writing is incredibly charming... the music is great, and of course the puzzles! If you're a fan of Puzzled Pint, The Game, the MIT Mystery Hunt, Shinteki, etc. you'll absolutely looooove this game. - Smijin Part of the puzzle is figuring out how to solve it... This is the type of game that you sit with for a while before you reach that satisfying "aha!" moment (or better yet, solve the puzzles together with some friends!) You can tell these puzzles are crafted with care. Along each step of the way, it would blow my mind how the pieces would come together to reveal not just one, but so many layers of puzzles. - AHedgeHug The puzzles have the right amount of difficulty and a new mechanic added to the mix: Hints that don't punish you. It's also not the same puzzle over and over: Each puzzle is a new experience, keeping you engaged and looking for what the next puzzle will bring. - notyourboddhisatva Scratches an itch which needs to be scratched again. The game is short, yes, but the puzzles are genius. Give me more of this please! - ROofdier"
