It is neither perfect nor, imo, as good as it should be. But I, too, love our dumb league. bsky.app/profile/keit...

From 2022 to 2026: Tracking the Growth of MLS – minutes, goals & games – on the World's Biggest Stage. MLS players are playing more, scoring more & doing it for better teams. A guest post by the great @tutul.bsky.social tacticsfreezone.ghost.io/from-2022-to...

*looks under hood* *See people using displacement and gentrification interchangeably* *Closes hood* *Clears throat* "Affordable for whomst"

This is unfortunately illegal in South Bend, IN. (You can thank Belle Terre v. Boraas)

I have retired from the gentrification-discourse posting wars to get candidates who want to legalize sixplexes and build big buildings on public land, with very little public input, elected to office.

this is real america, not the racists in diners the NYT loves interviewing so much

22PokopokoDan are an all-cat punk band based in Tokyo.

In China, "College grads are unemployed even as millions of blue-collar positions remain unfilled." Simultaneously, the country's workforce is aging and shrinking. Maybe they need to use a big chunk of the profits from automation to improve pay and working conditions for blue-collar jobs?

"Doge veterans have quietly rebuilt some of the federal government’s most sensitive websites – for passport applications, voter registration, prescription-drug pricing and children’s savings – in ways critics say appear to violate federal law."

the humane thing to do is put this man in prison. I would prefer something off-menu.

My next post will give you a hint with what some of this video is about

every time someone actually investigates this there’s a clear result: “embodied carbon” is essentially a NIMBY conspiracy theory and you can’t be an environmentalist without supporting infill development

yo I need everyone to notice this this guy just did a Zohran-style video that’s low-budget but super authentic, credible, and watchable. Proof it doesn’t take Zohran-level charisma! Sincere belief in what you talk about helps though.

The man is a dry cleaner's dream

this legitimately made me tear up. a tremendous public servant!

This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

No greater example of how NIMBYism is fueled by weirdos and shut-ins who discover that engaging in politics is fun and gives meaning to an otherwise meaningless life. Imagine volunteering your time for cars.

Incredible chart from @propublica.org. If you don’t follow enviro stuff closely, your instinct might be that the hold-your-nose solution (carbon capture from fossil fuels) would be the “pragmatic” one versus covering Earth in solar panels, which seems utopian. In fact it’s the opposite

The funny thing about Noah in particular is that it really seems like he got negatively polarized towards UK after getting lost in Heathrow.

This is a great use case where cargo bikes make a lot more sense in dense cities than med-to-high sprawl cities. They can go through narrow streets and park in spots that a pickup truck can’t. Dense city households generate less compost than detached single families.

From 1925: a prediction that, as more people choose to drive to the countryside, cars will end up destroying the very beauty that people go to see.

Fifth most liked post on Bluesky yesterday. No escaping the fucking AI liars.

Uruguay made a deal with the devil in 1950 to beat Brazil and have since been forced to have an edge of tomorrow experience at every world cup since.

New type of marketing strategy. Hire someone to have a take so bad they get dunked on all day. Then it makes people go buy that thing/food just in spite of the really bad take haver.

Fun with Prop 13: this landlord has been getting a 50% reduction in their tax assessment, but has been charging market rents.

our grocery costs in germany were like a third of what they are in seattle.

lmao skill issue, buddy

thank you jd vance for helping instigate an ethnic cleansing campaign

You'd be one hell of a popular candidate if you ran on working on legislation to stop companies from proving the "If buying isn't ownership, then piracy isn't theft." axiom true time and time again. (Like force refunds or prevent "buying" where a licence agreement expiring removes your purchase)

'testosterone and the bible are the new punk rock' kinda shit your youth pastor tells you while sitting backwards on a folding chair two weeks before getting shuffled off to another ministry because a 16 year old girl tempted him into the sin of lust

IMO, California should not be diverting climate funds to oil refineries while simultaneously allowing its transit systems to go broke.

“Desegregation sounds good on paper BUT” is a shockingly common view in left-NIMBY circles

It’s so fucking bad ass when a guy loves the president and the cops. Wears all their merch too. That to me is cool.

This looks like the inverse of the solar deployment chart.

Eye-opening chart from @propublica.org: Carbon capture is a consistent disappointment. We can't count on it to save us from overshooting 1.5C of heating projects.propublica.org/why-carbon-c...

three French nuclear reactors had to be shut down because the river they use for cooling got too hot and trains canceled in three other countries due to possible track buckling

I wanna know how the Pope is getting around MLB.tv geoblocking. Call that The Holy See

Big Tech is saying out loud "You can have a habitable planet or machine generated slop, but you can't have both."

Phenomenal on the Friday. This morning's sunrise in Chicago.

Fuck this guy. Assimilation is anti-American.

Was that Paris Hilton?

Fourplex under construction on Turnock Street in South Bend. Being built by the South Bend Heritage Foundation, the building will offer 1BR apartments at $840 per month and 2BR at $946 per month.

St. Joseph Co., jointly with the City of South Bend, has awarded a project to rehabilitate the Colfax Ave. bridge over the St. Joseph River. It will receive wider, protected sidewalks; a shared-use trail; lighting; and -- oh yeah -- monument elements in a light Art Deco style.

One reason that some (not all!) establishment Dems are freaking out over a few NYC primaries is that they're still on Twitter where this sort of fact-free pants-shitting paranoia has been mainstreamed. They're getting their vibes about what's "normal" from a place where this is a trusted voice.

Generally not a fan of PSAs, but watching people at Wegman’s in Brooklyn fill up on bottled water makes me wonder: does the average New Yorker know that we have some of the best tap water in the country? Kind of an affordability problem if they don’t! You don’t have to spend $600/year on water!

Finally Hershey's realizes they can utilize their connection to Pulisic
