Seattle passes bill to make polyamorous fruitcakes and whores a protected class.

Of course.

So the law will stop landowners from refusing to rent to sleazy smelly polycules with rotating homeless bang-bums.

Seattle passed a measure on Tuesday to extend civil rights protections to non-monogamous people and multigenerational households, and recognize additional sexual orientations and gender identities as protected classes under local law. The city council voted unanimously in favor of the bill.
As the largest city yet to pass such a law, Seattle joins a growing group of local governments acknowledging non-monogamous and polyamorous people as frequent subjects of housing and workplace discrimination, and in need of commensurate protection. Boston suburbs Cambridge and Somerville, and Berkeley and Oakland in California's Bay Area, have previously passed similar policies; Seattle is the 10th city to do so. Advocates say the efforts help local governments serve the many family structures that actually exist, not just the ones that are easy to define.
Research cited by the city council suggests that 10-20% of North Americans have engaged in consensual non-monogamy during their lives, while 5% are currently non-monogamous. More than 50% of respondents to a 2018 academic survey reported experiencing discrimination due to their consensual non-monogamous practices, including in medical settings, workplaces and family court.
Local advocate Jessa Davis helped spearhead the grassroots movement to enact a bill in Seattle after her partner experienced job discrimination in August 2024 due to her non-monogamy. Davis said the experience exposed which forms of discrimination were still "not illegal" in Seattle, even as targeting her partner "based on her sexual orientation or her gender identity or political ideology" would have been "covered in Seattle".
Following engagement with advocates, Seattle's Human Rights Commission penned an open letter in December 2025 in favor of a bill to address discrimination "on the basis of family and relationship structure" and to close "loopholes that currently allow exclusion, harassment, and denial of opportunity to persist unchecked".

"Decarceration" comes to Main Street USA.

EDGEWOOD, Pennsylvania -- The Evans family threw a Halloween party every year in their backyard on Linden Avenue. Neighbor Jeannine Fisher, who lives a few doors down, told WPXI, the local NBC affiliate, that she remembers "tons of people and kids" there. She also remembers the first time she met Idris Evans: He helped carry her groceries from down the street to her house.
It's the kind of street where that still happens. It's also the kind of street where people don't think much about whether the kitchen window is open on a warm September night.
Just after midnight on Thursday, police say someone came through that window.

Evans, 46, and his wife, Gina, woke up in their third-floor bedroom to find a man in his underwear attacking them with a kitchen knife. Gina Evans later told police, according to the criminal complaint, that the man was "psychotic" and kept talking about God and being God. She yelled for their boys, 8 and 12, to run to a neighbor's house, and they did. Then, badly wounded, she ran to another neighbor's house herself.
Her husband died in the hospital. He was a pediatric critical care physician at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh; co-medical director of its pediatric transport team, the doctors who go get the sickest children by helicopter and ambulance; and an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
Police found the suspect hiding in the overgrown part of neighbor Sandra Trappen's garden, bleeding from deep cuts on his hands.

"This is not a place, you know, where you would generally feel fearful," Trappen said.
His name is Elijah Hemingway. He is 32 and from Pittsburgh's Hazelwood neighborhood. He is charged with criminal homicide, attempted homicide, burglary, and aggravated assault. He is presumed innocent.
What has unsettled people well beyond this block is what came out over the next 72 hours. Hemingway had been arrested in Allegheny County in July on a felony burglary charge and released without posting a dime. He had spent most of 2025 in a Florida jail and a court-ordered mental-health commitment after allegedly beating a girlfriend and fighting sheriff's deputies. And on Saturday, county police charged him with raping a woman on a footpath in Wilkinsburg, a working-class borough bordering Pittsburgh, about 14 hours before the Evans family was attacked.

Kristi Noem has filed for divorce from her cross-dressing "bimbofication" husband. If you forgot that scandal, he would dress like a girl while wearing ludicrously oversized prosthetic breasts.

Kristi Noem has filed for divorce from her husband Bryon, citing irreconcilable differences months after a bombshell report detailed his affinity for "bimbofication" fetish models.
The former South Dakota governor and Homeland Security secretary filed Monday in Hamlin County Court in her home state.
The couple have been married since 1992 and have three children: daughters Kassidy, 31, Kennedy, 29, and son Booker, 23. Kassidy and Kennedy both have children of their own.
In late March, days after Noem was fired as DHS chief by President Trump, the Daily Mail reported that Bryon Noem regularly chatted up women from the so-called "bimbofication" scene, in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a "Barbie doll"-like appearance.
Citing "hundreds" of messages sent to three models, the Mail reported that Byron Noem said he coveted "huge, huge ridiculous boobs" -- and even shared a photo of himself wearing pink hot pants and a flesh-colored, well-endowed bodysuit.
A rep for Noem told The Post at the time that she was "devastated" by the revelation, adding: "The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time."

Nancy French reportedly sighed and said, "What I would do to have a manly husband like that."

These people are not our friends.

The last "woman" to be executed in the US is actually a man. I cannot express how tired I am of this. Nothing makes media outlets write this sort of nonsense, even if governments promote it. What happened to speaking truth to power? https://thetimes.com/article/0d5029

Scott McLaughlin stalked, raped and stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death. He was executed by the state of Missouri in 2023. He was not a woman. He was a man. He was a man when he stalked, raped, and murdered his ex-girlfried. He was a man while waiting on death row for his execution.
The Times of London calls him a woman because he began calling himself a woman named Amber while he was in prison. But calling yourself a woman when you are a man does not make you woman. A man who calls himself a woman remains a man who calls himself a woman.
The state of Missouri kept him housed in a men's maximum security prison while awaiting his execution. They allowed him to start taking estrogen in prison because of a successful lawsuit by another male prisoner demanding the right to take estrogen in prison. Taking estrogen did not make Scott McLaughlin a woman. A man who injects himself with estrogen remains a man.
If Scott McLaughlin had never stalked, raped, and murdered his ex-girlfriend, if he had declared himself to be a woman while being a duly employed citizen in good standing and not while a death row inmate, he would still have been a man. Scott McLaughlin was not a woman because he was an adult human male. Because he was an adult human male, he was a man. A man is an adult human male. All adult human males are men. No adult human males are women.

Meanwhile, many upper-income women have adopted a new fad in nail treatment. They're skipping the polish.

The BBC decided this must be racist, because it must be that white women are attempting to distinguish themselves from lower class women, particularly black women.

Has to be racist -- because literally every choice a white person makes throughout his or her day is racist, definitionally.

In recent months, artsy shots of glossy naked nails have been flooding social media and taking over fashion runways and red carpets, which some are viewing as the latest symbol of "quiet luxury".
But critics argue the bare nails trend actually says something about class, the hamster wheel of beauty standards, and who gets to define what is considered tasteful.
Nail art's historical and creative roots are linked back to black, Latino, and Asian communities and the suggestion that bare nails are now a sign of high status could stigmatise bold manicures, they say.
"That trend really promotes blankness and this kind of sameness and erasure of culture and identity that is so important to black and brown communities," beauty journalist Kristina Rodulfo tells the BBC.

They deleted the article due to the backlash, but left up the tweet promoting the New Racism Detected article:

Can’t even talk about nails without bringing up race and white supremacy, you absolute fucking melts. And you wonder why your funding is going down the drain. Pratts.
— Murdocke (@murdocke) September 26, 2026

This is partly due to racism -- and partly due to leftwing women's demand that they be validated and praised by everyone else for literally every single trivial thing they do. If some women aren't doing the exact same thing they are doing, then that's not validation -- in fact, that's a covert attack, which must be answered with blistering attempts at cancellation.

protected class is a completely made up term that now unfortunately has legal meaning. It's just like the liberals completely made up the right to an abortion as a constitutional right.

Hopefully scotus will smack down and eliminate the term protected class from law just like they did with the right to an abortion.

AI sez: "Painted nails originated in ancient China around 3000 BCE, where people used a mixture of egg whites, gelatin, beeswax, and vegetable dyes to color their nails. Other early instances of nail coloring were found in ancient Egypt and Babylon, where different colors indicated social status."

And now we have our answer. Legalize polycules with one land whale married to a few male losers. And when Muhammed Muhammed Muhammed then marries Aysha, Fatima, Laquisha and Karen he'll have an established legal precedent.

Don't know about coloring, but I think the super long nails thing started in Imperial China, as an indication of royalty. It made it impossible to work with your hands and showed you weren't one of those filthy peasants who had to work with his hands. It might have just been the emperor who did the nail thing but it's been ages since I read that little factoid.

Another point is that "originating" meaning there is 3000 year old reference to someone where "color" and "finger" are mentioned in the same document (which is the usual quality of their evidence) or even some very few people doing it at some isolated period is not the same.

Nah, don't forget WA is hellhole for state payroll taxes for various mandated programs and benefits. This move means almost nobody will hire these freaks if it means signing on for benefits for several others.

The dumb part here is that I don't have any issue with people shacking up together. But obviously commies aren't people, and they're just doing it to be edgy anyways

Speaking of polycules, my treasured Great British Baking Show is jumping the shark. The madly popular Prue, who is well into her 80s and fun af with incredible chemistry with the co-host Paul Hollywood, stepped back from her judging to pursue other interests. She's been replaced by Nigella Lawson, whose name I recognize but about whom I know nothing except that she is turning it into the Nigella Lawson Show. NO chemistry, no charm, no personality, doesn't even chat with the bakers or the co-stars.

As for the contestants, for about 5 seasons the show has been recycling the same gang of box-checkers: the gay Indian dude, the gay Arab dude, the incredibly messy-looking Caribbean woman, the veiled Muslim girl, the neurodivergent white girl with a tweety voice...

This year, they have a drag queen who is living in a polycule. In the first show, he baked a cake representing himself: it had a little candy mirror, which you crack and then see behind it a little figure of himself as a dressed-up woman. Ms. Lawson called it "profound." "A lot of us feel we have a person beyond the surface," she intoned over the three-layered confection.

When I did at-home peritoneal dialysis, I had to keep my nails trimmed short, and during the handwashing phase, I had to wash under each nail and rinse from the tips down...
Did that pretty much every night for five years...only had peritonitis ONCE, at it wasn't because of my hookup hygiene...

Couple is interviewing to join a church, and the pastor asks if they every did anything that would preclude them from joining.
"Well, once I saw my wife bent over the freezer, was overcome with desire, and took her right there."
Pastor says, "Well, you're a married couple, so I don't see the problem with that."
The Husband says, "Are you sure? They kicked us out of the grocery store."
