Thank you! I think this is the relevant part:

(4) Any challenge to the listing of any candidate on the presidential primary election ballot must be made in writing and filed with the district court in accordance with section 1-1-113(1) no later than five days after the filing deadline for candidates. Any such challenge must provide notice in a summary manner of an alleged impropriety that gives rise to the complaint. No later than five days after the challenge is filed, a hearing must be held at which time the district court shall hear the challenge and assess the validity of all alleged improprieties. The district court shall issue findings of fact and conclusions of law no later than forty-eight hours after the hearing. The party filing the challenge has the burden to sustain the challenge by a preponderance of the evidence. Any order entered by the district court may be reviewed in accordance with section 1-1-113(3).

TIL, in Missouri (and two other states) state law effectively (if not implicitly) prevents pregnant women from getting a divorce. Story here.

If a pregnant woman files for divorce in Missouri, it can’t be finalized until she’s given birth.
Missouri divorce lawyers put on their websites that potential clients should expect a minimum of 6 months for a contested divorce.
“H” sought out an attorney when she was 6 months pregnant. I empathize with H for being unable to finalize her divorce before she gave birth, but this law had nothing to do with it.

I’ve enjoyed the fake deathbed confessional tweets.

Some conspiracy-theory nut immolated himself yesterday outside the courthouse where Trump’s trial is starting. What the actual fuck?

Natural Selection in action. I didn't bother to read what he was protesting about.
If he survives, I doubt he'll ever try fire again. Awful way to go, and quite slow.

He died earlier today.
The only thing I’ve heard about what he was about was that he was deep into q-anon-type conspiracy theories.

Apparently DeSantis zeroed-out arts funding in the new Florida budget.

The state declaring “we approve of this art” never really sat well with me. Not enough to cause a scene, or to stop me from pursuing state funding, but it still feels wrong.

Why does it feel wrong? State-funded art makes art more accessible to the public. I was shocked how expensive concert tickets were in the US and Canada. In Germany and Japan, they were much more affordable, regular people could afford it.
Selectively (not) funding certain things is what governments do on a daily basis. School curricula and the like are also approved by government bodies. As long as citizens have a say, I don't see how this is a problem.
What is a problem is the thinking behind not wanting to fund the arts or infringing on academic freedom by attaching strings to state funding. This is a common theme amongst right-wing populists who want to punish people they see as being on “the other side” such as scientists and artists.

I’m honestly not a fan of state education either, but we’re in more of a bind in that regard. Note that what goes into the state curriculum can be an incredibly contentious issue.

Isn't that just because Republicans know that when you educate people properly they tend to stop being(voting) Republican?

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Eh… I’d say that’s a tad reductive.
Ultimately, school is indoctrination, so it stands to reason there are wildly divergent views on how to do it properly.
Full disclosure: was indoctrinated at a (private) hippy Montessori grade school, and a (private) high-school attached to a university.
