Not trying to spam your notifications but just gonna add that the clean air standards stuff, with money behind it from a Dem president/Congress, feels politically like an infrastructure win with like no downsides (esp. with more wildfires making air quality worse and something we're more aware of.)

I think it comes from a place of needing people to mask *more* and not being heard.

From what I've seen from covering this for a while, the bigger push is toward universal clean indoor air standards, and requiring/providing masks in hospitals and doctor's offices, which feels more reasonable.

Fun fact: the U.S. banned Prabowo from the country for 20 years because of his alleged role in atrocities in East Timor.

The first Trump administration ended the ban in 2020 so that Prabowo, then Indonesia's Defense Minister, could meet with top Pentagon officials.

Ten years in and he's still making these memes happen. I still remember Chris Christie!

All told, they probably have been the 3rd or 4th best team this season.

It feels like there are just three very good defensive teams who struggle to score (Orlando without Banda, Gotham pinning too much on Esther, Seattle by design.)

They're not *bad*, they just forgot the offense at home.

For reference, Co-Op City in the Bronx, which is basically one apartment complex with a few dozen buildings, has just under 44,000 people.

Czech Republic just lost to a territory that has the population of a city neighborhood.

The Faroe Islands—population just 55,000—beat the Czech Republic 🤯

An astonishing result. The territory's population is smaller than the capacity of six Premier League stadiums, yet they've just won a third straight international game 🇫🇴

I don’t know how to describe this, but GK form feels like something that is harder to quantify and measured on a different, longer time horizon.

Roey Hadar @roey.bsky.social · 2d

Absolutely should have gone for the field goal.

Jets innovating new ways to lose just for me. Gotta love it.

And it’s kinda giving “we’ve basically clinched but we’re hedging against a big Gotham comeback” with Morgan and Carle on the bench.

The mass layoffs of federal workers on Friday night swept up dozens of scientists with expertise in infectious diseases that have pandemic potential. But after The New York Times reported the dismissals, a federal health official said many of them had been fired in error and would be brought back.

Friday’s layoffs swept up scientists involved in responding to the measles outbreak and running an influential journal. An official acknowledged the mistakes on Saturday.

This game is the best argument I've seen in a long time for getting rid of it permanently.

There's a reason baseball and Judaism go hand in hand lol

Roey Hadar @roey.bsky.social · 3d

Omg wait it's coming back to me now! The only reason I didn't go to that game was that it was on Yom Kippur!

Felt I'd be spiting the Lord if I violated Koufax's Law but honestly had I known what was coming, attending all 18 innings would've been enough atonement, I'm sure.

Entering the 15th inning now. When do we get to too many innings?

Well...

As someone who lived in DC I remember it as the Vic Carapazza ump show. His strike zone that day was just kinda floating around.

Also respect to Yusmeiro Petit. He was built for exactly the situation the Giants deployed him for that day.

The NWSL game across the street at Lumen Field started when this game at Safeco was in like, the 7th or the 8th.

There are about 10 minutes (plus a bit of stoppage time) to go and it will probably end before this game does.

I hope you can take, like, some melatonin or something after this.
