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.

Just flew Detroit to Chicago. Pretty sure taxiing from the runway to our gate at O'Hare took longer than we were in the air

Got my travel buddy with me today

There are 6 teams in MLB with winning records against teams above .500 4 of them are in the NL West. Wow

"The White Sox invent ways to lose games." "The trip to Chicago could be coming at the perfect time." The White Sox beat the Red Sox 11-1 in Game 1 of the series. ⚾️🎙️😬

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.

The reactions from Bree Hall and Dawn Staley after Hall hit a 3 and tripped herself 😅

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

It's Opening Say and the Sweet 16, and I'm expected to sit in class for 3 hours...

"When people think of public goods, they most likely think of things like parks or schools. But official statistics are also a kind of public good. They help us understand things like housing prices, the costs of goods and the spread of disease. However, this data infrastructure is under threat..."

New 📢 Angela Hall & @overman.bsky.social ! 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!

My 7 year old this morning when coach said he can make runs into attack when he's playing CB

Our all-time leading scorer is back for another year as a Robin! Jack Voight was Spring Arbor University's leading scorer with 11 goals last fall, helping them to a Crossroads League Championship! Welcome back, Jack!

Amazing things happening in the Lansing soccer community. Thanks @soccerdownhere.bsky.social for spotlighting Real Lansing FC and their great work!

The City just plowed my street. I have questions

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. bit.ly/lcfcroster

It's like Christmas in February

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: www.lansingography.com/2025/02/lans...

in less than eight years the NCAA went from banning North Carolina from hosting championships due to its bathroom bill to... this.

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.

As the Trump administration pushes forward on downsizing the federal government, our recent explainer has stats on: –the current and historical number of federal workers –their geographic location –demographics –job descriptions –average pay –average tenure –civil service protections –more

Person doing my eye exam today asked all their questions using "we" "What are we here for today?" "What medications do we use?" Why is this a thing people do?

Just used Robo Bingo as an example in my Public Management Seminar, and if you don't know what that is, I'll just say it's clear you don't have small children.

Whoever didn't vote for Ichiro probably shouldn't be allowed to vote for the baseball Hall of Fame anymore

I keep re watching this trying to figure out why ND #29, after jumping up and down pointing at Smith, runs and goes to cover someone less open.

Notre Dame playing football from the era when Notre Dame was good at football

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.

67 days until Opening Day

Man, the handball rule as currently implemented is the worst.

👀👀👀

Nothing like a North London Derby to snap out of a rut

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.

How was that not a handball on Kinsky?

Ok someone smarter than me, why the reward?

Expanding this to people who walk their kids to school in a regular mug. It's winter! Your coffee is getting cold!

People who drive with a regular coffee mug (not travel mug with a lid): Why? HOW?
