how can you not be romantic about baseball
Diplo is currently on the field, wearing a Phillies jersey and swinging a bat. Phillies have lost 10 of 12. They'll try anything.

Because that’s exactly what Bobby Miller needed right now. Hoping he is ok :(
After a brutal 2024 Bobby Miller just took the mound for the first time in 2025.
He was smoked in the face by a 106 mph line drive off the bat of Michael Busch.
Walked off under his own power with a welt on his forehead.

It's been 3 weeks since Congestion Relief Zone tolling went into effect, and the program is working!
We're seeing traffic move quicker into and within Manhattan, which benefits all New Yorkers—drivers, bus riders, emergency vehicle operators, pedestrians, and more.

Earlier this month, we announced the purchase of 265 new zero-emission buses that will operate on routes across the five boroughs. This purchase is made possible by congestion relief funding!

The way America builds homes is killing people
America's inability to build enough homes in safe areas is pushing people to buy houses that are in harm's way.

A core part of "Build Back Better" is to know when to retreat. Council Members whose districts lost homes to fires should be fighting for more homes in the safer areas instead of fighting them (2 examples in LA just this week in the news)

The Golden At-Bat rule could give MLB a new shine. But is it worth it?
What if a team could choose one at-bat to send its best hitter to the plate even if it wasn’t that guy’s turn to hit? MLB could test it out.
