I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Q: Unless ACA subsidies are extended, the average plan will increase by somewhere around 115%

DR OZ: Where'd you get that number?

Q: Kaiser Family Foundation

OZ: They retracted that. Here's the truth. The average American who's on ACA is gonna pay $13 more than this year. That's not a big issue

Palliative care is still care. Good on you for focussing on it when appropriate.

A baseball angle Junius can embrace: the urban imperative of where and how to build a stadium

Globe editorial: Dodgers strike out in battle of the stadiums

There is lots to criticize in the Skydome, but the logic behind how and where it was built makes it a stadium to emulate

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

When “Can we have a trade deal?” pivots on “Do you have a kids menu?”

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 19h

Menus during President Trump's Asia tour showcased local cuisine while making sure that his tastes and America First agenda were met. There were beef patties with ketchup, and brownies decorated “with the color of gold that President Trump favors.”

U.S. Beef and Thousand Island Dressing: Trump’s Food Tour of Asia

The menus on the president’s tour of three countries in Asia reflected the culinary acrobatics the host nations performed to accommodate his palate and foreign policy goals.

--Love. Always, always, always. It can move mountains. (Sometimes, that mountain is your own fear.)
--Not assuming the worst about people.
--Really listening.
--Do not harm, but take no shit.

An important point I've had to raise with a surprising number of people. One of the biggest drivers of success or failure for a mayoralty is whether the person actually wants to be Mayor, or just wants a title or something to run for. It's "the second toughest job" in politics. Not for tourists.

The Lower Don Trail has seen so many delays it has caused frustration for trail users and prompted @dmrider.bsky.social to write this piece in @thestar.com. Now it's not expected to reopen until Spring 2026. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...

The Lower Don Trail was supposed to be open last year. Why the city says it still isn’t usable — and when it will be

Pedestrians and cyclists are heartbroken that one of the key bicycle commute routes into the downtown remains unusable.

He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies.

“I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida.

“I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor,” DeBlasio told Semafor Wednesday evening. “So I just gave him my opinion.”

My mom is in nursing care right now and is rooting for the Blue Jays, who she calls "The Toruses" because she can't remember their name but the tv score bug says "TOR" so she's made an educated guess as to their team name.
