It must be that you know what is happening at all!

You must stay perfectly uninformed for the next 2 hours

A note to local elected officials - (obviously you should have never listened to him because he's maliciously spread misinformation, but) listening to Jonathan Choe and giving his narratives legitimacy in 2025 is directly supporting fascism

Jonathan Choe to Trump: "Another group right now that is behind antifa and working with antifa very closely based on the research that we have right now that we're gonna give to you and your team are the Democratic Socialists of America."

Considering going tomorrow for the watch party, what concessions are open? Alcohol options, anything that's *not* contactless/grab and go?

Oh maybe we're talking about different plays, I was thinking of Julio going from third on the soft grounder to third and he got tagged at home in the 8th

Chris Randels @deutski.bsky.social · 3d

I think with the lead he had off the bag he wasn't gonna be able to get back to 3rd in time anyway. Combined with a run on contact mentality it was too hard to adjust on the fly like that.

IANA coach or even former player

And the work doesn't stop! There's a gauntlet of candidate forums this year, but this one will be big.

11 orgs are working hard to put this on so that our communities can be educated about candidates for Bellevue office and where they stand on transportation.

% of US men under 30 who say legal sports betting is a *bad thing* for society

22% in 2022
47% in 2025

No other demographic group has seen a bigger increase.

Americans increasingly see legal sports betting as a bad thing for society and sports

Today, 43% of U.S. adults say the fact that sports betting is now legal in much of the country is a bad thing for society, up from 34% in 2022.
