As an Orioles fan lemme say this:

It’s unfortunate that Yankees fans don’t support their team. Look at all these empty seats for a playoff game.

Good thing all these Toronto fans are there keeping the lights on!

I am not an expert but I know enough to say: expect to spend $150 on a real, full face respirator and appropriate cartridge filters.

Don’t temu it.

Nashville has not asked for or sought this. Vast majority of people I talk with think it’s 1) unlikely to work and 2) wouldn’t be practical even if it did

Boring Co refused two requests from myself and then Budget Chair Porterfield to meet with Budget and T&I committees.

Just using the words “community engagement” doesn’t mean you’re doing it.

Nashville Banner @nashvillebanner.bsky.social · 15h

Despite claims that community engagement is a priority for the project, residents of one South Nashville neighborhood were taken aback when they learned that The Boring Company had purchased property within a stone’s throw of their homes. “I don’t want the tunnel nowhere near us,” said one.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
