Me too! My sports loving brother gave it to as a gift so I would stop stealing his SI magazines.

And don't forget the legacy of SI Women. This was huge deal in the early aughts when female athletes were *just* starting to gain long overdue respect and acknowledgement: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_...

Legitimately funny that the NYTimes Texas reporter has accounts on almost every SM platform except…. Bluesky:

The growing issue of excess public school district land due to school closures & demographic changes and how local communities are ill prepared to manage that transition in a positive way.

The number of independent of Irish TDs would seem to confirm this theory. Likewise, it’s rare, I believe, for Irish voters to rank full party lists, so at some point, candidate’s personality becomes the deciding factor.

Houston might get close to this, but again really only for smaller projects. If you are building a Texas doughnut sized building that’s probably at least 6 months anywhere in the state

Nope - still at least 3-6 months for larger MF buildings. Smaller projects might be faster but I’ve never heard of anything housing related under 30 days

Timberwolves win game 1 in SATX by 2 points. I'm going to be ill.

Can confirm that the average age of political leadership in Austin has gone way down & that has happened in basically 2 election cycles. And we definitely didn’t try to make the age of anyone a specific issue- just became clear younger candidates had way more appeal.
