There is a player on the LA Queens, Brittany Apgar, who has a limb difference and traveled back to Illinois from receiving her first ever batting prosthetic *today* and is 3-for-3 in her first game playing with one. Incredibly cool.

handle kind of gives it away. architect + procrastinator. transmitting from beautiful Indianapolis, Indiana. sometimes i complain for fun. i enjoy cool breezes and rainy mornings, separately. my other bike is a bike. is that bad?
I see most people are saying C but even with Chicago that’s way too much Ohio. B gives you Milwaukee, Detroit, and most of Michigan’s coastline. Easy peasy.
For the next 40 years you can only live, work and travel within one region of the Midwest. Which one do you pick? More about the Midwest: brilliantmaps.com/us-midwest/
Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:
we should hear MAHA out about this they might be onto something

Michigan shows us what's possible Just like New York did
why did they call him "John Fetterman" when "oaf size large" was right there
Audience-Capture Miserabilism is the great enemy all of us on the liberal posting app must fight every day you can get so much engagement for saying obviously false things that resonate with people who are extremely sad
Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
I am hearing that Haley Stevens received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now she looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!
our obsession with data and knowing everything makes people think polling is way more accurate than it is and we'd be wise to remember it's astrology for people who were in student government
What is truly "shocking" about the polling miss in Michigan is that it is completely average for a primary "The expected error on the margin between two primary candidates in a race for governor or U.S. Senate is a whopping 13.0 points." blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/2026-texas...
I worked on a proposal for the adjacent east chicago public library and had the privilege of learning about this building and its architect. good stuff.
My architecture column today. "Built in 1973, St. Mark AME Zion Church is one of the finest works of pioneering Black architect Wendell Campbell’s distinguished 50-year career."
first way is winning, second way is losing on the merits, the third way is losing because your tactics are shit
seems pretty clear in retrospect that the decision by Third Way to polarize the Michigan senate race as pro/anti El Sayed was a humongous tactical blunder it was also predictable at the time -- polarizing the electorate in a three-way race is really dumb just in terms of arithmetic
there is a reason why I pretty much only use bluesky and it's not because I enjoy being yelled at by people who use therapy speak
good piece. one of the takeaways is that you should realize how ubiquitous engagement bait is www.vulture.com/article/infl...
They call em median voters cuz they’re out in the streets
I'm the guy who puts the "surprised" face on all the sports podcaster youtube videos. no one likes it but my bosses told me they'd kidnap my kids unless every single host looks like they just witnessed someone shitting on the ground right in front of them.
"influencer" is one of the most desirable jobs for young people, according to polling at least, but to me it sounds like one of the worst jobs imaginable vulture.com/article/infl...
The Influencer Recession
Once upon a time, lifestyle influencers could post cute photos and make millions. Now they are forced to pivot.

Tonight we find out whether Michigan voters are bluesky posters or bluesky replyers
come on brother you gotta at least hit him with a "He should stick to taking a really bad sack on 3rd and 11 after reversing field 3 times"
Dr. Anthony Fauci's lawyer responds to the Monday attack from Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers: "Aaron Rodgers doesn't know what he's talking about. He should stick to football."
Not surprised the antisocial treatlers are mad but he’s right and I wish more people would talk about this stuff. Socializing is good! Necessary even! As a parent I benefit greatly from our hybrid policy but I would never have gotten to where I am in my career if I hadn’t worked in an office 🤷♂️
Conover is catching hell for this in the comments but he’s not wrong about a lot of it, particularly the union angle youtu.be/GnHyKckbwIw?...
I have a five-year-old daughter and I am going to be taking her out of sports the second they require genital inspections so who is protecting women and supporting women’s sports here?
Did we ever find out if the A is for Asshole?
crouching in the corner like a kinked up little gremlin shitting but you're modest so there's a sheet: "no one would notice this"
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

sorry for vagueposting but I feel like people should ask themselves if consumer activism is really the best hill to die on
Me and my friends would've killed [big screens in cars] with hammers, I tell you that much.
This sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.
we owe a debt of gratitude to the person who hit liam gallagher in the head with a hammer and made him want to be in a band. i promise this is what happened it’s on wikipedia.
Not going to indulge in child related discourse just want to say this is a fucking incredible photo and i will be tactically deploying it when i want to insult someone's taste for the foreseeable future
