The median voter isn't ready to hear the truth about firefighters, some of the biggest urban policy villains out there.

@CSElmendorf @GovKathyHochul @NYCMayor My days of assuming Democrats don't know how to build infrastructure and housing seem like they are coming to a middle.
English
The NY State Assembly is angling to impose "prevailing wage" labor standards / 50% BMR mandate on new housing, as quid pro quo for environmental review reform.
This is a huge test for @GovKathyHochul & @NYCMayor, & the NY-based leadership of the Nat'l Democratic Party.

As the NYS budget deadline draws closer, we're keeping an eye on SEQRA reform in Albany. Smarter review processes means more homes and better infrastructure for our future. Let's see this through! spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/rochester/…

@floptara It's utterly perplexing. I think for some people sports fandom is kind of a shared misery. I don't get it, but it seems pretty common.
I start every year convinced this will be our year haha

yankees fans watching the greatest right handed hitter ever in his prime and the team being one the best basically every season
The Athletic@TheAthletic
More than 11,000 fans participated in our fifth annual MLB Hope-O-Meter. Overall, 72 percent reported they are optimistic about their favorite team this season, compared to 66 percent in 2025.

@rationalyankee Yeah the current challenge system has been really fun so far.
English
MLB tested full ABS in the minors. Players and umpires both hated it.
The current system works. It’s fun, adds some drama and creates more correct calls.
There’s always going to be those old timers who complain every time something changes. But I think the current system has been extremely successful so far.
WFAN Sports Radio@WFAN660
Evan and Tiki want to see ABS used for EVERY pitch, not as a challenge system: @EvanRobertsWFAN

@The_Skoo @ShoutoutKG Joe Robby was fine, but the new stadium is worlds better. It's designed for baseball.
English
@ShoutoutKG This new stadium sucks so hard because it is so sterile and it has no personality. The old stadium was the best, even though it was in a true baseball stadium because it was pure nostalgia baking on a hot summer day in the Orange bleachers.
English
The worst location for a baseball stadium, the most inconvenient place to go watch sports in South Florida. Move them to Broward or West Palm Beach and it would be full most games.
Dan Clark@DanClarkSports
It's time to boot the Miami Marlins out of Major League Baseball. To pull just 10,160 fans to their second game of the season on Opening Weekend is an absolute disgrace!
English
@Marlins These throwback teals and the old City Connect Sugar Kings are the two best Marlins kits. They're honestly two of the best in baseball in my opinion.
English
@BaseballWRLD_ Incredibly fresh. As a Florida native, they're also pretty nostalgic.

@hiyokoharumaki Grillmaster is at cookouts. Pitmaster is at barbecues. Think of it like bachelors degree vs PhD

@Christian_NYYST Last year's postseason was a disappointment because most of the team got cold at the same time. The bats (aside from Judge) went quiet and our two best starting pitchers didn't show up.
I think that team had the talent to win it, just unfortunate timing.
English
This was a much different start to the season for the #Yankees than in 2025.
Last year in the season opening sweep of Milwaukee the Yankees scored 36 runs.
This year in the season opening sweep of San Francisco the Yankees allowed one run.
It all comes down to October for the Yankees but the pitching is legit and they are running back the same offense that scored the most runs in baseball last year. Which is why I never understood where people got the idea that this wasn’t a playoff team.
Is it a championship team? That’s where I have my doubts but so far, so good in 2026.
English
@mikeduncan As a Yankees fan, I'm glad there are still people that view us this way. It's been a long time since the '96-'01 "Evil Empire" dynasty era.
In recent years, the Astros and now the Dodgers have seemed like the more hated teams.
English
Yes because choosing to root for the Yankees if you are not born into it is proof of defective character. This is less about "the gentrifier laptop class" and more about "anyone with a moral center would not willingly choose to root for the Yankees." I would personally be thrilled so many good and ethical people were moving to my city!
Ross Barkan@RossBarkan
The Mets fan base doesn't really send its best, so I'll explain my point as plainly as I can: of course, there are NY native Mets fans. Many, many. But if you are a gentrifier laptop class individual, pure transplant, the odds are you are a Mets fan.

@CurCarry @MorePerfectUS I don't know if the Devers trade was a good move for Boston or not, but as a NYY fan, I'm glad he's not playing against us in the division anymore.
English
The Red Sox are a horrible example for this point. They are top tier contenders in the AL this year with the highest payroll in franchise history.
Infinite spending is not possible. Devers and Betts were not “sell a player and pocket the money” moves, they were defensible, arguably necessary moves made to allocate funds in a more balanced way. FSG prioritizes sustained contention over emotional overspending. That is how you win long-term without lighting money on fire. (I will admit mookie trade was horrible but I don’t think it really cements the thesis in any way here)
Video comes across as either populist slop without a nuanced understanding of MLB roster building… or a wholly incorrect, idealistic conclusion wherein all teams should go all in every single year.
English
NEW: It's now more lucrative to have a losing sports team than a championship team.
We examined the Boston Red Sox to see how private equity and cost cutting invaded sports.
In this era, teams want to sell good players for profit more than they want to have a good season.

@_alice_evans @AlecStapp I'm not convinced that the ability to delay gratification in one part of a person's life (studying for years in school) is strongly correlated with good habits more generally.
Are PhD holders generally more fit than the rest of the populace? Anecdotally it doesn't seem so.
English
Policy makers and academics are often super conscientious, pursuing disciplined study for many decades.
Beyond this tiny bubble, many people struggle with self-regulation
So they struggle to overcome cravings like over-eating, addictive apps, financial imprudence, and problematic gambling.
GLP-1s effectively enable people to achieve their second-order desires and the self-regulation which so many elites take for granted.

Alec Stapp@AlecStapp
GLP-1 drugs are the ultimate validation of the techno-solutionist approach to society's most challenging problems. The obesity crisis seemed liked it would just get worse and worse forever. Scolding from public health officials didn't work. Proposals to completely overhaul our food systems were dead on arrival. Instead, we invented a weekly shot (based on Gila monster venom!) that fixes obesity directly. And now, thanks to the economic incentives in our biomedical industry, we have follow-on drugs that will be cheaper, even more effective, and easier to administer (by taking a pill instead of a shot). Policymakers should be focused on figuring out how we can get more breakthrough drugs like GLP-1s (and faster). They also should think hard about which slopulist ideas might inadvertently kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

@BenjaminCrew1 The John Adams miniseries was significantly better than Hamilton, at least.
English
John Adams: They made... A Stage Production about the Beast Hamilton that earn'd more Praise than Mine?
Me: Yeah, but you got a miniseries with Paul Giamatti.
John Adams: Who is Paul Giamatti?
Me: Oh, he was The Rhino in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
John Adams: Hmm, yes, very Good.
Ben Crew@BenjaminCrew1
Something very funny about the hypothetical of "What what the founding fathers think of America if they could see it today?" is that more than anything John Adams would be pissed off at a man he considered the DEVIL having an acclaimed musical about how he is cool

Major League Baseball is aired in the morning for Japan. So technically they eat breakfast with it being on television.
Here’s their #openingday commercial. No hyperbole, when I say this, it might be greater than any US MLB commercial I’ve seen. Well done and worth the watch for any baseball fan.
