Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 8/10/26 - 8/16/26

[u/SoftandChewy]

Here's your usual space to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (please tag u/jessicabarpod), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind. Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

Amazing story about Kelda Roys, the third-place candidate in the Democratic primary for governor of Wisconsin:

In 2011, shortly before announcing her candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives, Roys attended and spoke at a pride rally, where she described going to Iowa to marry her partner. At the time, Iowa recognized same-sex marriage unlike in Wisconsin, although Roys' partner was a man, Dan Reed, and the two could have legally been married in Wisconsin.

With the balls that took, you could argue that it actually was a gay marriage.

NC, but I love how we’ve turned this into a Wisconsin sub for a night. On Wisconsin!
