VOTE. This stuff is important, please take the time to participate! It’s quick, and especially with the local races every vote can matter.
Don’t use USPS. It’s too late for USPS to be a reliable way to return your ballot at this point. You can drop off any time at [redacted], or Tuesday at [redacted]. I will take your ballot for you, if you want. Just remember to put my name on the envelope as an authorized returner, and tell me how to get it.

idk, while the increase has been extremely rapid, the level isn't a total outlier (yet, at least). if we go substantially above the 2022 peak we may still see that floor drop out here's the 4 year chart

one key paragraph:

Close examination by The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Center for Building in North America finds no evidence of safety risks for single-stairway buildings with sprinklers. From 2012 to 2024, fire death rates in modern single-stairway four-to-six-story apartment buildings in New York City were no different from those in other residential buildings; not one death in which the exit (or lack of a second exit) played a role was recorded in a modern four-to-six-story single-stair building in Seattle or New York City during that same 12-year period. Research from the Netherlands—where single-stairway buildings taller than three stories are common—also confirms that these buildings are safe.

Kinda feels like you shouldn't be an outlier leader in both rebounds and assists. (granted, he's only managing a pedestrian 6th in scoring)

A chart of nba leaders showing Jokic leading the league with 12.6 rebounds per game (next 4 have 11.8, 11.5, 11.5, 11.2).

It also shows Jokic leading the league with 10.5 assists per game (next 4 have 9.8, 8.6, 8.1, and 7.9)

Trump’s call for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard forces to surrender, with the promise of complete immunity, added a particularly unusual element to the speech. Because the campaign appears to be largely an air operation, there is no one for them to surrender to, no one to take them prisoner or to implement Trump’s offer of “total immunity.” It may have simply been intended to sow doubt in the ranks if they believed the government was going to collapse.

I think I can safely say that my support of trans rights is pretty fucking clear from my posting, and yet I'm on a good dozen or more clearsky lists as a transphobe for arguing with dumbasses about issues that have nothing to do with trans rights.

idk, my baseline assumption is that any politician who got to a governor's mansion wants to be president. his March interview with David Remnick certainly didn't dissuade me from that view www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-...

But what role might he play in the next election cycle?

“Look, I never had an ambition to be President or Vice-President. I was honored to be asked,” he said. “If I feel like I can serve, I will. And if nationally, people are, like, ‘Dude, we tried you, and look how that worked out,’ I’m good with that.”

After circling the question for a bit, I said, “I guess what I’m asking you is: Would you run for President?”

“Well, I had a friend tell me, ‘Never turn down a job you haven’t been offered,’ ” Walz said. “If I think I could offer something . . . I would certainly consider that. I’m also, though, not arrogant enough to believe there’s a lot of people that can do this.” If the circumstances are right, in 2028, and he has the right “skill set” for the moment, Walz said, “I’ll do it.”

“You might do it?” I asked.

“I’ll do whatever it takes. I certainly wouldn’t be arrogant enough to think that it needs to be me,” he said.

“I’ve always said this: I didn’t prepare my life to be in these jobs, but my life prepared me well. And, if this experience I’ve had and what we’re going through right now prepares me for that, then I would. But I worry about people who have ambition for elected office. I don’t think you should have ambition. I think you should have a desire to do it if you’re asked to serve. And that’s kind of where I’m at.”
