This is absurd. The way the bill is written, geography and languages classrooms can no longer display international (and non-TN state) flags as instructional tools, nor can international exchange programs or ethnic minority/cultural clubs.

Kulshan / Mt. Baker behind the Space Needle this evening. Looks like a flag with the strips of ground, clouds and sky!

Interesting, our server has seen a bunch of federated emoji on other servers, but apparently we're the only one with the variant?

Ok, last one, here's my variant with the gold outline. Let's see how it looks as as an emoji:

I love this new report on how a state commission picked the brand new flag for the State of Minnesota

Idea: a fork of VGAPride that's "composite CGA pride"

@foone Whereas the CGA flag is simply a tricolor of cyan, white, and magenta (not to be confused with the trans flag), the composite pride flag adds nine black discs on the middle band, in rows of five and four.

Grading Canadian flags by the eponymous CGP Grey. He has fun with Canadian culture without once mentioning maple syrup or poutine.

My beef is that he gives the BC flag an 'A'. It's not an 'A' flag. It's not even a good flag.

@aeisenberg Nova Scotia has the best flag, aesthetically pleasant and following proper heraldic practice by making the flag a rectangular version of the field of the cost of arms. Québec has the second best flag, simple, elegant and distinctive.

Possibly controversial opinion but online people seem to really like the proposal F1953 for Minnesota's new flag and I just ... really don't.

Just strikes me as super bland, offensively inoffensive. I kind of dislike it more every time I see it to be honest.

F29, that didn't make it past the semis however, is really class. What a missed opportunity.

is SO close to getting a good state flag (design F1953 obviously), so... as a Minnesotan I definitely expect a major disappointment at the 11th hour tomorrow when the commission inevitably chooses the worst possible corporate-y flag design instead 😭
