This can't be talked about enough. "President Donald Trump's move to cut most of the US funding towards foreign humanitarian aid could cause more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, according to research published in The Lancet medical journal." www.bbc.com/news/article...

The figure from the Lancet, a leading medical journal, includes 700,000 child deaths globally a year.

Philly could have been doing this instead of sticking with owner-occupied rowhouses ad nauseum. Maybe when we have a new Mayor with a better policy team

Bike/pedestrian networks don't take 30 years to build. Stop accepting those timelines in your community. The best practices have been proven & they already exist. Safety should already be the #1 priority. The ROI is unbeatable. The timeline is a moral document and it shouldn't be generational.

The press coverage of the Academy of Natural Sciences has gone from "Oh how sad" to sounding like a hostage negotiation. Which maybe sounds bad, but elected leaders, the press, the people online, all saying "You don't have to do this, man" is better than mourning. share.inquirer.com/YTQg0s

The Academy's 150-year-old building faces roughly $150 million in deferred maintenance costs. While that may seem daunting, it is not insurmountable.

I wonder if that is fair - Pep wasn’t the one that decided to fight the charges for so long, for example. But you can’t have a club built in your image and then only take responsibility for sporting results.

Nick McClintock @nicksmcc.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
If you accept the presence that no one besides Pep has had a club backroom structure built for them in advance in quite the same way, and if the investigation indicts that structure so comprehensively, then his legacy at Man City is probably more deeply compromised than I think I realized.

Nick McClintock @nicksmcc.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Wasn’t the period covered by the charges when Man City decided to go all-in on creating an environment built in Pep’s image? Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain were both hired in 2012, and that laid the groundwork for recruiting Pep a few years later.

Nick McClintock @nicksmcc.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
@migueldelaney.bsky.social I just listened to the Libero Episode on the Man City charges and you mentioned at the end that the period of Pep’s success comes after but still rests on the period covered by the investigation. I wonder if there is actually a more explicit connection between the two.

I think the reality, though, is that the PL has always seen itself as a commercial and not a regulating entity, while the NBA commissioners have, especially since Stern, seen themselves as real policemen. I’m not sure the PL has, or even wants, that kind of all-encompassing authority.

Nick McClintock @nicksmcc.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Maybe the organizing would be more challenging given a few teams come in and out, but you could probably make a similar argument to the majority of PL clubs.

and wanted Ballmer to be made an example of. He also said that the CBA renegotiation was a function of a similar dynamic - that the potential spending power of the Warriors and the Clippers made all the other owners really want these draconian rules in place.

Nick McClintock @nicksmcc.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Yeah I was thinking about whether this structurally makes a difference but I’m not sure it does. I think it was Zach Lowe made the point about the Clippers findings that the reason the league was able to come down so hard is that the other 29 owners really saw this as a breach…

It’s going to be fascinating to watch the play out when comparing it to the Clippers punishment. My impression is that the NBA is a much stronger league and that, despite making similar threats to appeal and go to the courts, Ballmer basically had to take the punishment.

Cities should be paying people to bike. Cities should be buying people e-bikes. Cities should be rewarding people for convincing neighbors to ride bikes. Every trip by bike is a net financial gain socially. And it compounds, the more people who do it.

This is the recent story of homelessness in California, where those of us who support Housing First have done a piss poor job of explaining why billions in state investment haven’t meaningfully address the problem have thus handed a major propaganda victory to the right.

this is a bit of an obsession of mine especially here in charlottesville. the cost of commercial real estate is prohibitive if you want to experiment and the city seems categorically opposed to small lots and small units that could allow people to start businesses without a huge capital investment

Watching the first Dowman goal from today back and he has this ridiculous body feint that sends the defender sprawling, but it seems like Max hardly moves at all. I honestly can’t think of a comp for that other than Kanu? It’s not quite the Coruna goal, but it’s close.

Finally San Francisco realized that “Twenty percent of zero is zero”. Unattainable inclusionary zoning mandates produce no affordable housing. In some places, it’s by design.
