Trends in BC residential construction. I've been surprised at how resilient the starts data has been in recent months, though a start today is generally a project that has been underway for 12-24 months.

Sean Trende’s piece on his son’s last day of school is full of joy and sadness and love and is well worth your time. www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/202...

@netw3rk.bsky.social, @tylerparker.bsky.social - you guys up on this?

Fed's Waller: “It’s just kind of crazy to say ​you could start talking about rate cuts in the near future...You just can't look at this data and say yeah we could cut rates by September or something…you can’t ​be serious as a central banker and talk like that.” www.reuters.com/markets/us/f...

Me, losing my will to live after another Refsnyder pinch hit #mariners

For the love of almighty god, please stop pinch hitting Refsndyer for Raley. I can't take anymore. #mariners

COLT. EMERSON. IS. THE MOMENT! A THREE-RUN HOMER GIVES HIM HIS FIRST BIG LEAGUE HIT AND FIRST BIG LEAGUE HOMER ALL IN ONE SWING!!!!

Spurs-Thunder is exactly as good as I thought it would be

The sports have been very good tonight

That one season he was healthy he was absolutely electric

As a guy with half a trillion dollars, I have lots of options: 1. Enjoy a 100% stress-free life doing whatever I please in unfathomable luxury all over the world with people of my choosing 2. Have 87 meltdowns a day on a website

Make good decisions today. Like listening to mclusky

I’m sorry but “everyone is going to use AI to code their own apps” sounds like “everyone is going to learn HTML and code their own websites.“ like … have you met people? no they’re not

Loved this

The reason we cant do austerity now is that we did too much of it in the 2010s. Its politically toxic. Don't understand why people cant see that... fiscal policy should have been loose in the 2010s and tight now...

Oof

Statistics as rhetorical decoration. This man is such a fraud.

Castillo just can’t be in the rotation anymore. Every outing is a disaster #mariners

A fascinating, sad, infuriating article. Really well done. It’s disgusting how much hate and misinformation gets amplified through small networks of phoney scholarship.

swing of beauty 😍

I don't think the BC economy is in a recession, but it is looking like we are near a tipping point. The provincial labour market is shedding jobs and our Nowcast measure of BC Real GDP growth is showing a contraction for the first 3 months of 2026. Immigration policy definitely clouding things.

What explains the sluggish BC housing market? Could it be....vibes? I constructed a "Vibes" index from BoC survey data, combined with the Polic Uncertainty Index. Interestingly, its capturing something that the old "Misery Index" is not and vibes are correlated with home sales.

New bench PR. 335lbs. Probably had 5-10lbs more in the tank.

POWELL STAYING ON AS GOVERNOR AFTER CHAIR TERM ENDS

Perfect 10 bat flip. Nobody is cooler than Josh Naylor

phenomenal

When the Mariners win a chaos ball game

Every 2026 #Seahawks picks is graded an A+ because we just won a Superbowl

I’m hung up on this because it shows there is literally no situation, up to and including SIMPLE ARITHMETIC, in which Trump’s toadies will not tie themselves in pretzels defending an obvious and indisputable falsehood once Trump has uttered it. We are literally in 2+2=5 territory.

Josh Naylor delivered a walkoff hit and a banger postgame quote to give Mariners fans something to feel good about headed into the off day:

This is one of the best pieces of pop culture writing I've read in the past couple of years. These excerpts are great but you need to read how the build to that last one. Goddamn. Thank you @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social and @popheist.com

When do the firings start? #mariners

Nothing you don't already know, but Stuff and Distance matter. responsiblestatecraft.org/strait-of-ho...

This feels like progress.

I'm just glad he was finally able to hit something

WE LIVE ON THE PART THAT ISNT WATER MY GUY

Joined by a string quartet, Mannequin Pussy's ferocious and tender songs swell with urgency. The band also gives us all space to scream. n.pr/4cghd2o

315lbs bench for double. All time PR is officially on notice.

Vibes are bad in Canada too

The Refsnyder mystery continues #Mariners

HOME RUN Julio Rodríguez (1) 426 ft (28°, 107.8 mph) off Steven Okert (81.6 mph Slider, 2269 rpm) HOU 7-SEA 7 (B5, 1-2, 2 outs)

Amaze, amaze, amaze!

A lot of you aren’t pairing getting up shots with The Shape of Punk to Come and it shows
