The Sounders have done it, after falling behind 1-0 at the half, they claw back two goals in the second half to make it 9 from their last 9. Huge, huge win

Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

If we could figure out some quality or feature that was common to all the states where this happened or, conversely, common to all the states where this did not happen, that might help suggest a strategy to correct and/or prevent this

I’ve probably said it before but in the Parents Love Their Grandkids More Than Their Children debate it is ‘humorous’ that my South Alabamian parents are great with my daughter’s name/pronouns change but still call me Matt NINETEEN YEARS after I moved to Seattle and decided to go by Matthew.

If you're going to admit that Trump is worse than Biden on Gaza, then you've admitted that Biden was restraining the Israelis. I honestly don't understand what the point of pretending that's not true is at this point, other than to hurt the Dems generally.

I get the desire for a club-owned, soccer specific stadium. But for me personally, unless there were massive improvements to public transit between Seattle and Renton, this would mean giving up season tickets. Plus having to endure the inevitable nonstop "Renton Sounders" jokes

Sorry to be a doomer but I’m seriously worried that we’re never gonna get back to Status quo ante bellum in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea - gas/diesel prices have been permanently raised - and that Dems running on lowering their prices will get the same backlash as Trump promising to lower groceries.

Bluesky really encourages people to treat politics as fandom. The current vibe is Talarico is a transphobe for suggesting there should be rules on trans people participating in sports, while El Sayed is groovy despite suggesting there should be rules on trans people participating in sports.

This sort of endlessly transitive bigotry - where someone becomes a transphobe for merely disagreeing that you should seek to defeat Democrats who are bad on trans issues - is really corrosive to any kind of discourse or understanding. This is a question about electoral politics.
