I miss the days when starting pitchers went more than 4-5 innings. Today 20 game winners are rare. At one time, Baltimore had 4 in the same season.

Disagree. Today’s game is almost entirely 3-point shots and dunk shots. There’s no midrange game and the playmaking that went with it. Regular season are a bore - no defensive effort. And don’t get me started on load management.

An alternate view is that now that the primaries are mostly over, it’s time to pivot to the center in search of Independents’ votes.

For the most part, these airports are not located within the city limits of the “sanctuary city,” sometimes not even the same state (e.g., Dulles, Newark).

What you see depends on where you stand. I gather from your comments that you're pretty far left and probably see anyone to the right of Bernie or AOC as conservative. That's your right, but you're wrong.

Might it be that Joy Reid was insufferable (as are Maddow and O'Donnell)? I too dislike cable news and solve the problem by not watching. They cram a 1/2 hour of news into 24 hours. It's exhaustively awful regardless of its ideological bent, essentially "news" on an ESPN Sports Center model.

Finnbow @finnbow.bsky.social · 13/09/2025
Bullshit. Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Chris Hays, Stephanie Ruhle and Ari Melber (their entire evening lineup) are all left of center. It's likely that you're so far left that these folks seem like MAGA conservatives from where you stand.

There’s no such thing as a cubic ton. It’s either cubic yards or tons and in either case a lot of mulch.

Phoenix historically has ~100 days over 100° F every year with it starting around the first week of April. So what you characterize as increasing extreme is pretty much normal in the Valley of the Sun.

That's your view, but not necessarily Mrs. Macron's. It was clearly intended as defamatory by Owens and Mrs. Macron is entitled to view it as such and seek appropriate relief.

Progressives are a captive audience of the Democratic party and moderates aren't and appealing to moderates is the key to winning general elections. Demanding fealty to woke nonsense is anything but appealing. Indeed it is quite off-putting. If the 2024 didn't teach you this, I don't know what will.

Finnbow @finnbow.bsky.social · 19/07/2025
It's the far left with their fragility over silly woke shit (e.g., pronouns) alienated independents. The numbers don't lie and progressives should stop lying to themselves that moderates are the problem. Getting the independent vote is the key in the general election.

Alienating moderates is exactly how the Democrats lost to Trump in 2024. Keep up the good work, idjits.

No offense, but is it not condescending to think you understand their interests better than they do? This attitude alone is enough to drive many away from Democrats.

OSHA’s crane standard is quite detailed and reflects national consensus standards (ASME B30), but OSHA enforcement is piecemeal at best and largely after the fact. It mostly relies upon contractor (and owner) diligence/competence. As an owner, SpaceX may not have either when it comes to crane safety

Take the subway to the Altstadt, check out Römerplatz and the cathedral then stroll over the river to Alt Sachsenhausen, stroll around a bit more and then have a meal at the famous cider house Adolph Wagner’s. Subway back to the airport.

His "instincts" boil down to parroting Fox News nonsense while Fox News praises the actions he takes that reflect their BS. His government is essentially a do-loop of anger-based misinformation .
