Should you and Chris and your forthcoming baby ever find yourselves in Seattle, make a point of going to the Pacific Inn Pub

this is a must-read. and it's not great that zero democratic politicians/candidates have been willing to speak up about this level of corruption over the last decade. no wonder consultants are so terrified zohran

A fool would say this isn’t a cathedral, it’s outside. But a wise person would say that outside is nature’s cathedral.

Rockies are hitting their stride at the same point in the season last year when the White Sox were 15 games into a 21 game skid. www.datawrapper.de/_/HMnvY/

The Rockies are currently on pace to win 43 games this season, and given that they're now over .500 since the All Star break, they could very likely break 50 wins and upgrade from all time stinkers to a garden variety dogshit team. www.datawrapper.de/_/vT2LQ/

Pirates are currently beating the Rockies 15-10 in the bottom of the 5th in Denver.

Rockies have a man on 2nd and one out and have scored 4 already this inning. Pirates scored 3 earlier in the inning, and 9 in the top of the 1st.

The record for most runs scored in an MLB game is 49, when the Cubs beat the Phillies 26-23 on Aug. 25, 1922

Quote tweet of Williamsburg 365: β€œALERT: The DOT is urgently requesting that no cars be parked along Bedford Avenue over Shabbos so crews can continue the bike lane work swiftly. They’ll be working tonight, and Motzei Shabbos to complete the project more quickly.”

So we can’t park cars elsewhere when it’s the City trying to create bus boarding zones that keep kids visible.

But ripping up a bike lane that has improved safety for everyone on the block? Absolutely.

Zohran Mamdani leads among Jewish voters by a
17-point margin in the race to become New York City's next mayor. Mamdani, a Shia "Twelver" Islamist, will bankrupt and Islamise New York and pose a threat to its Jewish community. With their Pavlovian reflex to support the Democratic party and its anti-west, anti-white, anti-Jewish ideological dogmas, it was entirely predictable that before long these US Jews would themselves become a threat to the Jewish people. That moment has arrived.

I recall the lads agreed: even a trace, a suspicion of racism in public life was utterly unacceptable and it all had to be annihilated to the subsoil with nuclear weapons. Also, here’s a BBC and Times pundit doing more fash crank racism in one tweet than most humans will do in their entire lives.

the thing is that in wealthier, more liberal areas, the "viewers like you" may well make up the lost funding. in poorer, rural, more reactionary areas, that's the end of PBS and NPR and their affiliates

Why Rick Steves wants Americans to travel more BBC Special Correspondent Katty Kay and travel writer Rick Steves discuss the importance of travel and how it can bring new perspectives.

I don't think anything pierces the veil of American exceptionalism more than international travel. Because very quickly, you learn

A) the world does not in fact, revolve around the USA
B) this place could be much, much, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better than it actually is
