I’m becoming more and more concerned that people at high levels of public discussion cannot identify the difference between a genuinely viral conversation vs a bunch of bots making noise.

Some might say it's incredible the Tigers just won 2/3 against one of the best teams in baseball. I'd say it's perfectly predictable that the Padres just lost 2/3 to one of the best teams in baseball.

Hi, I'm the guy who wrote the book "Administrative Burdens" and it's just objectively untrue that no one will face "unnecessary burdens" b/c *non-citizens almost never vote! *About 20M citizens don't have access to citizenship documents SAVE solves a non-problem by burdening American citizens.

If nothing else this game is an advertisement for quarters. Putting a team in the bonus for 15 minutes is some extreme punishment.

A challenge that has probably always existed in polling but I'm sure has gotten exponentially worse - I'm 98% sure if we had a Dem president these results would be essentially flipped.

Biggest difference I notice in my day when I work from home: less movement. It's almost 11:30am and I'm at 795 steps today. For comparison I'm usually at least over 3,000 by now in the office

! How do public employees FEEL abt public accountability? :😁😌😡😟😰😁, depending on types of accountability. These emotional reactions have implications. If account. mechanisms are designed without considering emotions, they may do more harm than good!

Kicking off our 2025 roster announcements with 2 exciting returning players. Xtreme Hauk earned First Team All-MIAA and MIAA Freshman of the Year Honors for Calvin University last fall. Owen Resch scored 57(!?) goals and was named to the State of Michigan Dream Team.

Kudos to the school administrator who wrote this letter for making it clear to families what happened and who they should blame. This is the way to build a coalition--with a shared adversary and a reason to fight.

Planner Brent Toderian said: "The truth about a city’s aspirations isn’t found in its vision. It’s found in its budget." City of Lansing is asking for feedback on their budget, what does the city-wide budget even look like? Here's one way to look at it:

It's 10 degrees warmer today than when I went running outside a week ago, but because it was 45 yesterday, I feel like it's frigidly cold out. Dumb.

It is always interesting to me when I receive marketing materials from local companies postmarked from another state. You didn't want to find a local company to do your mass mailings? I guarantee they exist.

Seriously. Pass back to the GK, bounces off his foot and then clearly hits his hand. If that happens to a defender it's a PK.
