FT: Chelsea 1-2 #AVFC
Villa just win. That’s it. When you have this resilience (Lindelof and Konsa defended excellently) and Emery’s in-game acumen, you are one powerhouse. 18 points recovered from losing positions, a fifth away win - all coming from behind. 11 straight wins.

the cool thing about xG is that when a team or player overperforms it for a long enough period of time the only reasonable conclusion to draw is that they’re doing something the model doesn’t capture or account for ☺️

Oh thank heavens.
Quite the pre-Thanksgiving news: Mayor Muriel Bowser will not seek a fourth term in office. That's a huge opening a mayoral race that still doesn't have any major candidates in it, but with possible entries from Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George and At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie.

Anita Bonds, who has routinely voted against RCV and is an unpopular incumbent in a citywide election next year, should not be a surprise as someone who is trying to make sure the implementation of RCV takes as long as is possible.
He's generally joined by Councilmember Anita Bonds, who also says she's worried the elections board doesn't have the resources and time needed to implement ranked-choice voting.
"We want to make sure that if we’re going to do this in the nation’s capital it will be good as gold," she says.

@colinokeefe.bsky.social I don’t live in Seattle, and obviously I follow TVL for Mariners coverage, but I loved today’s post. Love that you took a stand on a big deal knowing it might potentially alienate some readers. Thanks for writing it.

And the idea that she takes offense at MPD not taking accountability is laughable. They’ve burned every ounce of trust they had in this city and they do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Here's a transcript of Smith's full comments.
I get what she's saying (ie, this wasn't an order from the chief not to put the shooting in the report) but the q she's not answering: why would that officer suggest that? Wouldn't this unusual situation demand unusual transparency?

Interesting: I've gotten reports (and screenshots) of an online poll asking questions about a possible head-to-head contest between Chairman Phil Mendelson and former Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans for D.C. Council Chair. Mendelson has told me he's running for re-election.

I also got this in Ward 1 and wondered the same thing. Given her entry into the Delegate race today it seems pretty clear it was a campaign mailer under the guise of council business.
Why is Ward 2 Councilmember Brooke Pinto sending me, someone who doesn't live in Ward 2, a glossy mailer?
