Since ballpark size can vary, I think Royals should build their stadium in like the lobby of an Embassy Suites, where if you hit it past third its pretty much guaranteed homerun, and the fans watch from balconies looking down on the game. Just my thoughts.
His Holiness Pope Louis XIV, I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah
that jacket looks dope as hell my man
Average voter understands the tradeoffs: in return for giving away giant tax breaks, noisy neighbor, environmental damage, strain on energy resources you will get to help subsidize an industry whose leaders are all gleefully cheering on the day when you lose your job.
"This is not who we are" should always be understood as an aspirational statement that carries forward the legacy of countless Americans who fought and died to make it as true as possible, to create the space for you and I to take up the rallying cry.

Paris: a city without a history of famous transformations.
If James Talarico is liberal wish-fulfillment of a devout Christian but left, Platner is left wish-fulfillment of a populist but who has army tattoos and looks like he’s had a hangover within the past couple months.

a lot of discussion about how "cosmopolitan" urban dwellers are, but a really underdiscussed trend is the homogenization of culture across *rural* areas of the USA - replacement of once-distinct regional cultures with generic "redneck" accent and culture, regional religions with evanglicalism etc
