The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 19h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Just when I am rooting for an MLB salary cap, I see something like this and say “nah, this league is currently cultivating every single thing these guys deserve.”
Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · 2d agoThe whole Mariners' pen believes Babe Ruth didn't exist. Kinda want all MLB players to believe this and make the owners agree to it in next CBA
Clarifying that I’m seeking treatments to save my existing plants 🙏

Audiobooks::books like e-bikes::bikes. All reading is great, all biking is great-I have no opinion. EXCEPT. After 8,000 ebike miles the last few years, I can’t ride a regular bike. It’s bad. I know it’s bad. I have no tolerance for all the hard work anymore! Im sorry to my fellow peddlers.
As an ardent support of free speech, I’m sure Sophie is happy about this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoSophie Cunningham is getting booed every time she touches the ball here in Minneapolis
Do not sleep on Olivia Miles. And when it comes to the nonsense around the WNBA-don’t worry about it. There’s enough strong women in and around the W to take care of things.
Mitchell Hansen@hansen13.bsky.social · 3d ago“I feel like I’m on pace to do great things.” Olivia Miles is taking the WNBA over by storm, showcasing she’s the best show in the W. And she could very well end up claiming both Rookie of the Year and MVP honors. My latest @hittingthehardwood.bsky.social ⤵️ hittingthehardwood.com/youre-a-star...
Kudos to Cheryl for having this convo. I do hope she reminded Sophie that Cheryl has been “protecting women’s sports” since before Sophie was born and that cheryl may have a more reality based view of what the threats are.

Olivia Miles is crazy. Cannot get enough of her play. God bless America and god bless hoops.
This is awesome. Love this leadership to address the housing challenge.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 4d agoWe're using City-owned land to build the affordable homes New Yorkers need.
I’ve been saying this for nearly 15 years now but the “center” wing of the Democratic Party would be a very solidly right wing party just about anywhere else in the world. And our “far left” platforms basically call for what are mainstream policies in nearly every other developed country.
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 4d agoIt was inevitable that reactionary centrists would turn against harm reduction and call for a return to mass incarceration
Anyway back to my ongoing theory that women use AI to get more done and men use AI to get out of doing more.
AI IS BASICALLY A SEX WORKER might be the hook for my new class…
Tying housing development to paradise is important. People think there’s a way to regulate your way to paradise. At the local level, there’s just no way to do this. If you want artists and young people and all kinds of people-you need more housing.
Benjamin Schneider@benschneider.bsky.social · 5d agoProgressive LA Mayoral Candidate Nithya Raman told Vanity Fair that her main difference with DSA is on housing. www.vanityfair.com/story/nithya...
Today we said goodbye to the daycare that has been my son’s second home for the last 4+ years. I cried, teachers cried, lots of hugs all around. What a blessing to be part of communities that love your children like their own. Thank you to the Middle TN YMCA for all the love and care.

Impossible for me to describe the layers of humor I find in this
George Pearkes@peark.es · 6d agoWe are at the “r/finance is posting fancams of Chair Powell set to Taylor Swift” point in the cycle of regret over Temu Greenspan.
So much fascinating movement in the financial world this week. What a time to be alive.
I don't think you understand how investing works, there are two key elements: * line go up * margin gives you more of line go up No chance "line go down, margin call," that's a loser's mindset. Sign me up, I think I'll give him $10m then post about Mamdani's communism.

Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · last wk.It’s that time of year again: here are some of the books I’ve enjoyed this summer. If you’ve read any good ones, let me know!
huh the only fast casual restaurant that's thriving hates AI wonder if that means anything
Someone tried to pitch me an ebike today based on the fact that I can do software updates from the app (?????). I want no apps. Ever:
Jon of The North@krauza.bsky.social · 7d agoI don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.
