it would seem that the appellant agrees with you

The sign, and other options
The appeal argues the confusion comes from next door. A large sign in the front and back yards of 3600½ lists five different addresses for the property, she wrote, though the house has one. Passersby have asked her whether there are vacancies next door, and delivery drivers have knocked on her door confused by it. If the goal is less confusion, she wrote, dealing with the signage would be far less disruptive than renumbering two established addresses.

With the Sky eliminated from playoff contention, Mystics are now guaranteed a lottery pick. Currently looks like they will have 3rd best odds at Juju.

current WNBA lottery standings from WNBA tankathon. Mystics own a pick swap with the Sky. Sky have the third worst two-year record, so the Mystics have the third highest odds of getting the number 1 pick.

the specific point at which this article fails is at this quote from an anti-trans protestor, provided with insufficient context. the context missing from the article is that no one is advocating for men to participate in women's sports.

"I know truth. I live in truth, and the truth is men are stronger than women. And when they enter women's sports, sports will change," one person told USA TODAY Sports. "Women's sports will definitely change by putting men in them. When they say there's only 10, it starts out as 10 ... So as someone who was an athlete and had a great time in all the camaraderie in women's sports, I absolutely want to save them."

PSA in case you were planning to go to an outdoor pool today. Nothing about this on social media or email. I needed to have looked at the city calendar in order to know this before arrival at the pool.

Signed posted on Warwick Pool door that reads:

Warwick Pool
Saturday, June 6
Closed

Congratulations to our Alexandria City Public Schools Seniors graduating today!
In light of a number of our staff participating in graduation, RPCA outdoor pools will be closed today.

Please visit us at Minnie Howard and Chinquapin Aquatics Facilities, which are open on Saturday, June 6. For complete hours of operation, visit alexandriava.gov/Aquatics.

Even when I remove personalization, to be clear.

Google search results for "alexandria brief" that shows the first result as alexandriabrief.com. there is also a banner under the search box that reads "These results are not personalized."

This should read "larger districts." IIUC he is arguing for fewer board members, which would mean that each board member would represent a larger segment of the population. @ryanbelmore.com

Councilman Abdel-Rahman Elnoubi, who previously served on the School Board, pushed to keep board size on the table, arguing smaller districts would foster more competitive races. He said at least one school board district had gone uncontested in every election since 2009 except 2018, including the year he was elected. "For the better of democracy, for the better of the community having a choice in who represents them," the council should weigh reducing the board's size, he said. He also argued school board members should have some form of staff support, which could attract more candidates.

I do think most of the other departments that got higher increases were worthy investments (YMMV on econ dev). which is why I tend to think the city is not collecting enough revenue.
