I truly don’t see how this country can go on if we don’t ban online sports betting. This story is stomach-turning.

When you know the US has been eliminated from the World Cup.

new metaphor just dropped

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

As a former professional athlete, this is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Your kid has a less than 1% chance of getting an athletic college scholarship. You’re better off putting the money into a 529 plan.

"The states and federal government accused Cal-Maine Foods, Versova and Hickman’s Egg Ranch of a behind-the-scenes arrangement to “artificially inflate the daily price quotations for eggs” between June 2022 and March 2025" so basically most of the biden presidency how weird

"Broom the soup." A lot of centrists are freaking out right now, and people are both reading too much and too little into the DSA victories, but a metaphor from my career may be helpful here. 1/?

oh my god

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to show up in full combat gear on a hot summer day to the pool he filled with algae because he gave a paint job to one of his cigar puffing cronies. you are ordered to stop tourists from touching the green water. good luck soldier

Some heroes don't wear capes

Seattle's light rail & streetcar lines carried 4.8 million riders in April—a 44% increase above March, after Link Line 2 was extended to connect Seattle & Bellevue across Lake Washington. Seattle's light rail & streetcar lines are now the most-ridden in the nation, above LA, Boston, or San Diego.

This is fantastic news.

may the Oklahoma City Thunder never ever make it to this round of the playoffs again

Called this back in October

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

Love to appropriate white-supremacist slogans when I experience the inconvenience of having to share public roads

There is no better summary of a PNW liberal than holding a sign saying "We're Pissed" with a smile on your face.

It's legit surreal to see this many white affluent homeowners demanding "Equity."

Yikes. "Bikes Will Not Replace Us." When you're mimicking a white nationalist slogan you've totally lost the plot.

this is a masterpiece

Any offense, no matter how minor, committed by someone that can fairly be described as an “attention-seeking crypto enthusiast” should be death penalty eligible 👍

May 18, 1980 As skies darken over the Yakima Valley—85 miles east-northeast of Mount St. Helens—residents turn to radio and TV for updates on the unfolding disaster. KIT 1280 / 94.5 KATS becomes a lifeline across a darkened, ash-covered landscape.

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

I’m firmly in favor of each and every one of these guys coming face to face with the public and realizing in real time that they’re unlikable, antisocial goons

If you entered college in 2022, one of the most popular majors, the kind of boring field that was supposed to guarantee you a lifetime of stable employment, was comp sci. Four years later anyone who enrolled in that is facing a labor market apocalypse because of AI. Students do not like this!

this is really heartwarming. two men exchanging symbolic tokens of things the other has no interest in (football, peace)

EVERY TIME

People be talking about EVs today and that's like my whole thing so here's what I've identified as The Problem: The idea of being inconvenienced AT ALL overrides the average person's ability to consider whether a small inconvenience in one context might be outweighed by upsides in other contexts.

Every time: - propose making an area more pedestrian-friendly - locals drag things out forever, claiming businesses will suffer - once it actually happens, businesses see increased sales EVERY TIME www.theurbanist.org/pike-place-m...

Something we don’t address enough is how many people, especially adults, do not have a working imagination.

Pike Place Market just released new sales data for Feb 2026. Looks like Jan+Feb 2026 had 11% higher sales than Jan+Feb 2025 (before the pedestrian pilot)! Congrats Seattle, you managed to find a way to shop at the market in the dead of winter without driving your cars through the middle of it.
