a fortunate quirk is that doing food and medical support for impoverished children, foreign and domestic, *also* is about the biggest bang it is possible to get for our buck.

so you can analyze aid on a moral basis or a realpolitik basis and you get the same answer: we should do it

Earlier today AndrΓ©s MuΓ±oz told the media that when they leave their apartment, he and his wife leave the TV on so that Matilda (their cat) can watch the game.

A Times profile of Katie Wilson being highlighted in an email. "Katie Wilson shrugged off the idea she might be better suited for a City Council seat, instead aiming for Mayor"

This is so incredibly condescending from the Seattle Times. Do you also ask male candidates if they'd considered running for an "easier" office?

Every name on the Tigers sounds like it was made up by a teenager trying to come up with something for a fake ID. Brant Hurter? Dillon Dingler? Colt Keith? Fake. Fake. Fake.

A case study in how fragile bus priority is and how a tiny number of upset car drivers can destroy it through back channels. You won’t have good buses with elected leaders who don’t care about buses.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

You can’t make me know about someone named β€œBrilyn Hollyhand.” Do not say β€œBrilyn Hollyhand” to me

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.

2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.

3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

there are almost certainly more people β€”Β more blue collar laborers, specifically β€”Β involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal

the political policy cure for β€œmale loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Enjoy your baseball team tomorrow. Even if they are terrible. Even if they make you mad and frustrated. The offseason is long and the world is full of horrors. Even very bad baseball is better than waiting for spring.
