Mike Manzer @nevtelen.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Thinking about this today. Who knows how successful Magyar Péter and Hungary will ultimately be, but they are really pushing hard to get Hungary's money back. If only we could have that kind of fight in the US when it's our turn. 021

Mike Manzer @nevtelen.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Repealing the Roadless Rule is insane. We need to stop it. Everybody really ought to read Crossings by Ben Goldfarb. It really gives you a feel for how roads affect the environment. We *need* roadless wilderness. 010

Mike Manzer @nevtelen.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I remember when I used to go to Sounders games hoping to see a bit of magic. I was always confident of a win, even if it didn't happen. It was possible. Now for the last 2-3 years I've just found myself hoping we don't take a goal because who knows if we can score one. #Sounders 0130
