Today is a day I've been looking forward to personally for a long, long time. A union of two of my favorite people. As is often the case, just as sorrows can converge into malaise in my spirit, joy compounds itself. On Cal Raleigh, Seattle, and home. www.lookoutlanding.com/2025/6/21/24...

50 HR+20 SB has only happened 5 times in MLB since integration: 1955 Willie Mays - 51-24 1996 Brady Anderson - 50-21 1998 Ken Griffey Jr. - 56-20 2007 Alex Rodriguez - 54-24 2024 Shohei Ohtani - 54-59 Cal Raleigh is on pace to be No. 6 (and, obviously, the first catcher w/40-20)

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

70,000 people marched through Seattle at the No Kings rally. It was loud, it was huge, and it was only a start. While downtown swelled with speeches, ICE tear-gassed protesters in Tukwila. Showing up once isn’t enough. The fight doesn’t end when the march does.

Julio Rodríguez is the second best outfielder in the AL, behind only Aaron Judge. He is an All-Star. I discuss why for @lookoutlanding.bsky.social

The Times saying last year they'd no longer endorse candidates in local elections, then immediately being like "oh but not THAT guy" 10 months later because the candidate wants free buses gives away the whole game. "Objectivity" means you break your own rules to punch left as much as you want.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, massive.

Extremely considerate of J.P. Crawford to have another exceptional game in his essential bounce back season. While @jakebparr.bsky.social cooks up the recap, enjoy J.P.’s adjustments to thrive this season once more here from @katepreusser.bsky.social

Seattle has been so alive and full of love and solidarity today. Capitol Hill is currently packed full of people -- all ages, backgrounds, all walks of life -- flying their flags, sipping lattes, out with their kids and dogs. I love it here, man 💖

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

In spite of KUOWs story today of NIMBYs griping about 2 acres of trees being replaced with 50,000+ homes since 2016 in Seattle, just a few miles south they are mowing 800 ACRES of trees for 1,400 homes. Someone alert the bird and tree activists! Oh wait, they wont protest this 🙄

Same for scientists, researchers, doctors, etc. Indeed, anyone who works within a value-based profession... what is more trustworthy? People who tell you their values and explain how that leads them to advocate and/or communicate? Or people who pretend to be value-neutral?

there are few worse/lazy headline constructions than “tensions flare as ____” because it answers zero questions. who’s tense? who’s making them flare? what’s the difference between each side’s ways of expressing their tension? who has more power in the situation?

Very plausible reunion target for the Mariners. Tyson Miller was a 40-man casualty who was quite effective last year for stretches.
