I just moved here from Melbourne, Australia. Any other Aussies living here? I know there are a few at UNL, of course, but curious if there's any that live here permanently.

Does anyone have information on what time and where there hemp ban public hearing is today?

Looking for an apartment that is $1,000.00 or less with washer/dryer in unit. Any suggestions? Preferably would allow a cat. A balcony would be outstanding, but I know with this limited budget that might be difficult.

I’ve been skating a little at Breslow and it’s fun, but I’ve got the basics down and I’m getting bored with it. Is there a figure skating group for adult beginners?

Looking for recommendations for a company that can do a large vertical retaining wall.

Three police cars were blocking traffic as something extra large came east on Pioneers and turned south on 77. Have to admit my curiosity is piqued. Anyone know what it was? I had to keep moving with traffic(away from the intersection) but had a vague image of a large black rectangle, two lanes wide.

I applied to olive garden cheddars and chic filla all those places said no i had a chipotle interveiw yesterday havent heard anything yet. I have a interveiw for jennies kitchen tomorrow and i had one for american senior benefits but my dad said maybe thats not a good idea. So does anyobe know places hiring urgently or tthati could work at. I have volunteered​ or spca before ​if that helps any with animal related jobs.

Seems like a pretty big building, but every time I drive by there, it seems like there’s no activity, no cars in the parking lot, just people walking/riding their bikes past. Anyone know what that building is/was being used for?

Hi! I am starting SLP grad school in the fall. I am an out of state student and have no idea where to start with looking for housing. Please leave any recommendations or where to stay away from.

I would love if I was walking distance to the speech and hearing clinic on east campus. But other than that I just want cheap rent. Thank you in advance! :)

Sorry for the long post, but there's a group collecting petition signatures right now and they start their pitch with "Would you like to help protect girl's sports?" This is a bait and switch language. First, the pitch is softer than the actual text. This petition is the “Fairness for Girls Constitutional Amendment,” and the filed language says girls’ teams “shall not be open to students of the male sex,” with teams designated based on “biological sex.”

Second, it is not just a generic “protect girls’ sports” measure. It is a government rule that excludes trans girls from girls’ teams by law. That matters because the sales pitch can sound like broad fairness language while the legal effect is targeted exclusion.

Third, this measure is framed as solving a large problem without showing that the problem is actually widespread. Reporting on the Nebraska effort describes it as a push to classify school sports by male, female, or mixed teams statewide, not as a response to a documented wave of specific Nebraska cases.

Fourth, enforcement is messy and invasive. Once you write “biological sex” into law, schools and athletic bodies have to decide how to verify it when someone is challenged. That creates obvious risks of policing kids’ bodies, singling out students who don’t fit stereotypes, and dragging minors into disputes over sex classification. The petition text itself uses categorical sex labels but does not spell out a simple, non-invasive enforcement method.

Fifth, this is discriminatory. It singles out one specific group of students, trans girls, and excludes them from participating in school sports with their peers. That’s not a neutral policy. It creates a separate rule for one group based on identity, not behavior or ability. It can also lead to policing who ‘looks female enough,’ which puts any girl at risk of being questioned or challenged. So while it’s framed as fairness, the actual effect is exclusion and unequal treatment.

Sixth, this is a constitutional amendment petition, which is a bigger deal than an ordinary policy fight. Nebraska’s Secretary of State lists it as a constitutional amendment petition in circulation, so the goal is to lock this rule into the state constitution, making future changes much harder than changing an ordinary statute.

Seventh, Nebraska already passed a law in 2025 requiring student-athletes to participate based on sex at birth. So this petition is not happening in a vacuum. It is part of a broader effort to harden the rule even further by putting it in the constitution.

TLDR: They’re pitching “protect girls’ sports,” but the measure would ban trans girls from girls’ teams by law, could lead to invasive enforcement, and would lock it into the state constitution.

I know it officially drops tomorrow, but was wondering if anyone knew the best place to get them and/or if any retailers get them early? Referring to the Busch Light Apples of course.

I'll state up front . . . although I've been a Nebraskan all my life, I don't pay a lot of attention to Nebraska football. I listen to hear if they won or lost and that is about it. Now I hear they are talking about renovating Memorial Stadium again. Didn't they just do that?? I had the same reaction last time. Can't they get it right?

Hi! Coming to Lincoln, Ne in July and hoping to find a place to rent a small shade pop up tent for Joad archery nationals. Any leads? Also need chairs and maybe a cooler. Found UNL but seems to be booked out. Thank you!
