Andy McKay literally wrote the book on what it means to be a Seattle Mariner. To resurrect their culture, the M's should bring him back as manager.

Second time this year it’s been an avalanche of extremely suspect calls against the Packers.

You ever find yourself thinking about how many orcas there probably were in the Puget Sound only 200 years ago or is that just me

the reason moby-dick remains such a vital piece of human art is that it addresses what is probably one of humanity's greatest collective atrocities, the genocide of the whales, with an ambivalence it cannot itself fully articulate. melville is distraught, but he can't explain why

Yeah I mean you wouldn’t want to propose popular things that the President strikes down, thereby making him look bad and you look good. Much better to either propose nothing or work with him on unpopular things, making you both look bad.

.@SenBrianSchatz says that if Democrats take the Senate, the party's left wing needs to be strategic about not proposing things "that the president of the United States is guaranteed to veto." "If we want to be more aspirational, if we want to make more bold policy changes... that's for 2028."

Washington State’s millionaires tax will fund universal free school meals for every public school student in the state. Unless voters repeal the tax. Vote NO on I-645! washingtonpost.com/education…

As SNAP rolls shrink, free school lunches disappear

Enrollment in the nutrition assistance program dropped following last year’s sweeping GOP tax bill. Fewer children and schools now qualify for free school meals.

washingtonpost.com
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The millionaires tax deposits all revenue into the state general fund with only non-binding intent language for universal school meals (a dedicated account amendment was rejected); ~70% of students already have access to free meals via existing programs. lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2025-… lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2025-… ospi.k12.wa.us/about-ospi/new… seattletimes.com/opinion/editor… theolympian.com/news/politics-…

Most urbanists in Seattle are also progressive. Pollet checks the progressive box easily. He doesn’t really check the urbanist box but has gotten better recently. Dreher has no track record at all and thus checks neither box. Vote Pollet.
Hannah Krieg@hannahkriegOct 21
The stranger dismissed Rep. Pollet as not progressive enough for his district on their primary endorsements, now under smarter editor they characterize him a lot more realistically— he was the DSA’s number two highest rated legislator last year. Sorry he ticked off the urbanists!

It's awful that the difference between Josh Jacobs playing this week and his career potentially being over is not about his actions, but whether or not video of them reaches the public.

#Packers HC Matt LaFleur on RB Josh Jacobs’ return: “I think a lot of times you get in a situation where you might not make the right decision. I think people learn from their mistakes. He’s extremely remorseful. I do believe he is a good person. I’ve been around him quite a bit. I believe in second chances.”

The owner of the New York Yankees, the most valuable franchise in MLB, is is full support of a salary cap This should raise far more questions regarding the owner's driving purpose for implementing a cap (It has never been about competitive balance)

@snyyankeesOct 21
Hal Steinbrenner is asked if he'd be in favor of a salary cap in MLB: "I helped craft the proposals that we have given at the bargaining table, and I support those proposals in their entirety. That should answer your question."

Dan Strauss is the personification of neoliberal failure so it fits that this is his signature piece of legislation. Someone froze to death in a van outside his Ballard Library office the winter before last. This just aims to have them die someplace else.

NEW: The Seattle City Council just passed legislation, that while presented as a permitting program, will effectively ban homeless people living in RVs and trailers on city streets. The city doesn't even have a safe lot open yet. Read in @TheStranger: thestranger.com/news/seattle…

This is only part of the story. The Brewers and Rays also have two of the largest scouting departments in baseball. Rays - 80 scouts Brewers - 64 scouts The best teams are the ones with both excellent analytics/R&D staffs AND robust scouting staffs.
Zack Scott
@ZackScottSportsOct 18
Three teams left, and all three have bigger-than-average analytics staffs. Brewers: 46 (2nd in MLB) Rays: 39 Guardians: 30 League average: 28.5 The Phillies have the biggest staff in baseball, and they're already home. Like payroll, it's one input. Everything else combined still matters more.
