Guessing that was the first 8-6-2 DP in quite a long time. Baseball’s gotta baseball.

Baseball really is the best sport because all it takes is one little bobble and suddenly a game built on routine and order devolves into panic and chaos

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

Response to regime's higher ed "Compact" from @mit.edu: "Fundamentally, the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone... "We cannot support the proposed approach to addressing the issues facing higher education." 👏

My kids will forever remember the dent in our living wall as the “THROW IT TO FIRST” dent

"Doomscrolling videos of reporters getting pelted with pepper balls outside the Broadview ICE facility, and yet the daily work of participating in Zoom meetings, sending meaningless emails, and buying groceries persists" 🔥

Are they really warming up Blake Treinen? Are you serious? Probably taking time in the bullpen to lead a moment of silence and ask Charlie Kirk to give him the strength to win

An intriguing call for “soft secession.” Consider the Transportation Research Board, to a large degree funded by state DOTs. The TRB bent the knee to Trump, cancelling dozens of research projects on equity & the environment. Should Blue states pull out of TRB & create their own research org?

Great example of a non-land use form of option value. I value the option to *think about going to a cool kid cocktail place down the street but then ultimately rot on my couch with the dog and cat

When some of the Red Sox players visited the White House and shook hands with Trump last summer, super-ace Garrett Crotchet posted a photo of a panda that he took while visiting the zoo. Last night he treated the MAGA-loving Yankees like animals.

We’re currently in the “false fall” season!! Because “second summer” is happening this weekend 🥶🥵

Kaleb Horton RIP.

“40 cloves of garlic pasta sauce but with 40 bulbs instead” Final clove count: 417! Was it edible? Yes! The verdict? The garlic is not the problem here, would make again but with some other adaptations. Our house? Reeks.

I'd like to see some reporting on this, I do think it's quite clear they can't be everywhere and doing everything at once and we need to be able to document clear signs of withdrawal from particular fronts, or else it'll feed the perception that they ARE everywhere and doing everything

All time epic Dodgers collapse. Wow

Thinking about becoming one of those guys who say “this is no bueno.”

Great figure. But it's important to note that the y axis starts at 30, not 0. We are not decreasing gasoline consumption and Vehicle Miles Traveled anywhere near enough to meet our climate goals. We needed to maintain the 2020 drop every year. We have to get serious

This is pretty impressive! There are now 300 "rue aux écoles" in #Paris. (Up from 185 last year.) That means *half* of elementary schools in city have now had the streets outside closed to all car traffic. Some cool Before/After shots on the Ville de Paris website: www.paris.fr/pages/57-nou...

Tonight's edition of flights I'm glad I'm not on (h/t @jlcidell.bsky.social): JetBlue 2996 landed on its third attempt at #BOS (22L, 33L, 4R) Following flights reporting #windshear +30kt/-30kt

looks like extremely little service management is happening to control any of the resulting wait time impacts. 2091 just gets later and later...

Canceled trips are piling up on the #MBTA 77, doubling the scheduled 12 minute intervals 🙃 This @a320lga.bsky.social post comes to mind.

Threatening people with internment in *checks notes* Little Tokyo near the Japanese American Museum is *really* dirty work.

1 like = 1 highway that should be decommissioned and redeveloped.

As Harvard negotiation rumors continue, time to revisit @mcsweeneys.net's list of regime demands "Train an Elite Cohort of “SKY GENIUSES” to Pursue FULFILLING CAREERS as AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS Obviously, our FIRST CHOICE was MIT, but we will TAKE what we can GET" www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/add...

My sister @anuong.bsky.social wrote a beautiful, deeply personal essay about cooking for our mom, who hasn’t been able to cook since her major stroke in 2023. Thank you @aaww-nyc.bsky.social for giving her the space to share this. 🥺❤️ CW: health emergencies, illness, grief aaww.org/how-to-cook-...

Declining bus speeds → lower labor productivity for drivers → higher costs on top of Baumol's cost disease (doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...) Bus lanes and enforcement can help reverse this!

Woah, fresh curry pan coming to the neighborhood!

Reports of ICE presence on Terminal Island is an act that chillingly echoes the shameful forced removal of Japanese Americans from that very place eighty-three years ago. This dangerous pattern signals a willful failure to heed the lessons of wartime incarceration. lataco.com/ice-is-stagi...

How can we support "informed discussion among experts, decision-makers, and the community?" Some ideas in this new blog post 👇

Something we talk about in "Life After Cars" is that in 1975 the traffic fatality rate in the Netherlands was 20% *higher* than in the US. Today, the traffic fatality rate in the Netherlands is more than 60% *lower* than in the US.

This ends with it being made VERY clear to Livingstone that COBRA WILL NOT sign off on restarting the bus network yet, if they are asked. Even though Gold says it is right and necessary. Bob Kiley, London Transport Commissioner, is even ANGRIER when he hears the "too scared" thing. /8
