Racking up the steps, but thanks to @animefargo.bsky.social organizers I've been given access to the staff den (and more importantly, the attendees all have access to the quiet room) Cool AF.

🍺 What happens when politics goes down the pub? One Suffolk voter went along to her MP’s ‘Pint & Politics’ – and found plenty of opinions, rather less empathy, and a striking generational divide. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Pint & Politics? No more thanks, I’ve seen enough entitlement for one lifetime

When the local MP invited me to talk politics in the pub, I listened and learnt a lot about my community

Twenty-five years ago, I was in England. Sky Sports News interrupted their programming to suggest people turn to Sky News for coverage. So I then watched the second plane hit, as many did.

In an incredible move, Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada has announced a gender-affirming care clinic for trans youth, asserting tribal sovereignty and defying the region's ban. It is one of the biggest cross-movement solidarity moments in Canada. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said funding would drop for violence interrupters, calling it a “noble program filled with committed and talented community leaders,” but one that “has not demonstrated the level of results taxpayers deserve.”

minnpost.com

Frey wants to cut funding for violence interrupters. But at what cost?

Advocates say interrupter programs are essential as the city aims to curb violence, but assessing their impact is complicated.

I promise, acknowledging the existence of, like, medieval Hebrew poetry won’t undermine the antizionist project. You can be antizionist without denying all of Jewish history pre-israeli state. It’s easy, actually!

The backlash to Woke One has been more deranged and destructive than the worst caricature of progressive activism. But it is/was a thing (I try to define it as best I can) and if folks like AOC are worried about uncontrolled forces in politics, they should have a clear theory of WHY it happened.

Woke One Happened Because American Government Is Broken

And it'll happen again if Democrats don't return to power and fix it.

Our flight from Seattle to Sacramento was delayed by a few hours last night, but we were rewarded with an epic sunset on Tahoma (Rainier) as it poked through the low stratus layer. The pastel peach backdrop was made possible by the horrific wildfire smoke from all the PNW fires.

Stratovolcanonpops out of clouds and is bathed in sunset warm peach glow.

Do you want a private membership club in Manhattan, or an NWSL reserve squad with only 3 active NCAA athletes? That was the rooters' choice this weekend in WPSL. The final was a bit of a grind, tbh.

I personally find following teams easier with limited substitutions but I'll acknowledge that both models have their own strategies. I'm always curious what happens to momentum when the personnel keeps changing. Colleges use unlimited subs, but there are college athletes in all the leagues.
