I heard her say "I'll take that down..." But I could be wrong...

Exactly.

Wish they'd fly a bike lane down Columbian Way in Beacon Hill to lower Spokane Street in SODO, so people don't have to bike an extra 1.5 miles out of their way to get the WS from this part of Beacon Hill.

Yes. That place in Pioneer Sq was good. Only ate there a couple of times before it closed.

Anything that helps them learn to do systemic causation reasoning is a plus in my book.

Took me to see 2001 in Kindergarten and Blazing Saddles in 5th or 6th grade.

Validation testing of five home blood pressure monitoring devices for the upper arm according to the ISO 81060-2:2018/AMD 1:2020 protocol The accuracy of Omron 10 Series BP7450 (HEM-7342T-Z), Omron Platinum BP5450 (HEM-7343T-Z), Walmart Equate Premium 8000 Series UA-8000WM, Walgreens Premium 15+ WGNBPA-960BT, and CVS Series 800 BP3MW1-4...

This NIH study from Northwestern University says the Omron platinum is accurate enough for home use, but if you look at the fine print, the study was also funded by Omron, so do with that what you will... pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Where was that guy in 2000?

Wisconsin!!! April 1st is a huge day that will shape the future for your state. Your state can also be the beginning of the end for the Trump/Musk regime. Susan Crawford is the only reasonable choice!!!

Please go vote for @crawfordforwi.bsky.social

Early voting today in Wisconsin

Remember: A Tariff is a regressive sales tax ultimately paid by American consumers.

One of the most alarming aspects of the Signal Scandal is the fact that Trump regime officials used the Signal app to hide what was happening from the government itself.

Signal messages National Security Adviser Michael Waltz sent to the group chat were set to disappear after one week.

That’s…

Note, all of this price hike isn't likely the tariff, some of it is likely a form of insurance against the volatility/uncertainty created by tariffs (and the threat of tariffs). Who pays those insurance premiums? Average American consumers.

Example: Behringer is a company that makes music gear in Asia.

Last night, its Swing Keyboard was $99 on Sweetwater, the big online music gear store.

Today it's apparenlty $169 on Sweetwater. Some, if not all of that price bump, is likely passing the cost of the tariffs on to the consumer.

US presidents who have been in office while the Rolling Stones have existed as a band: JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, GHWB, Clinton, Dubya, Obama, Trump, Biden, and now a second time with Trump.

That's crazy.

Pretty crazy: The temporal relationship of the Rolling Stones to 2024 is about the same as the temporal relationship of the Maple Leaf Rag (1898) to the Rolling Stones when the band got going in 1962.

Obvious point. The goal of the proposed funding freeze wasn't to succeed. It was to make subequent policy initiatives seem less ridiculous (and therefore more reasonable) by comparison. #usa #americanpolitics #quickthought

Remember this and it'll make more sense: Compliance over competence.

It's a good one..

Avoid the Narcissism of Small Differences:

The idea that the more a relationship or community shares commonalities, the more likely the people in it are to engage in interpersonal feuds and mutual ridicule because of hypersensitivity to minor differences perceived in each other.

Avoid pointing fingers. Focus on finding common ground and solidarity with potential allies.

This is quite a thread coming from the leading expert on tyranny and autocracy. I push you to read it all. It'll make you sit up straight.

One way this home run mentality manifests in political activism is through all-or-nothing thinking. If A doesn't happen, I refuse to do B, even if A happening is a total homerun, and therefore unlikely, whereas B would be a solid single, is much more achievable, and can be built upon.

Barry Bonds Just got a phone call from someone in the UK. He was in Buffalo, NY, excited to share the news about a meeting he just left. This was the beginning of his breakthrough, he said. 400 stores around t…

This 2006 piece bears consideration through the lens of political action: "The home runs you almost hit don’t count.. Any marketing plan that is nothing but a series of attempted home runs has a problem. The problem is that the odds don’t get better as you go along."

Point being that past a certain threshold, any of these guys could be successful again given a great roster and a few breaks.

I wonder what Andy Reid's stats looked like when he was fired by the Eagles? Or what did Tomlins stat's look like up till Big Ben retired? Having a great QB sure does help, especially on an early contract, before they make a big salary cap hit.

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes Welcome Their Third Child, and Yep, She Has a Metal Name Congratulations to the Mahomeses!

Sadly, the "Metal Name" was not Lemmy or Ozzie.

Also privileges compliance over competence.

MALIGNANT NARCISSISTS: They're closer than you think YouTube video by This Jungian Life

As the podcast notes, group regression dynamics play out across the entire political spectrum, wherever there are large groups under stress. It's easier to see them in one's political opponents, but useful to look in the mirror as well. 🛑 www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZcR...
