progress check: so far, so good

John Edwards@johnbedwards.io

As we hit the end of 2025, I wanted to reflect on some of the progress I've made as a runner over the last couple of years! I'm really proud of the work I've put in and what I've been able to do so far, and excited for 2026 (hopefully a thousand miles and a few marathons along the way!)

i get no respect, i tell ya. i was at a party and i made a joke about clankers, and the whole place went quiet. they told me to read the roomba!

just take the points!

1) vance has this weird preoccupation with demanding that people show him gratitude 2) this is just another expression of the idea that some americans don’t count and at most should be seen and not heard

John Smoltz being proven immediately wrong after everything he says would be hilarious if there were any sort of feedback loop that resulted in us having to listen to him less

Trying to save face by claiming the pitch was "right down the middle" when it was, in fact, exactly where he said it should be thrown

learned that pentatonix did the national anthem for the savannah bananas "banana bowl" game in collaboration with a flyover organized by the department of war

not even the phrase "blockbuster" is immune from our national inflation crisis

🚨 🚨 🚨 The Cardinals are trading Marvin Harrison Jr to the Texans in a blockbuster, per me and Adam Schefter. It’s Harrison and a 7th rounder to Houston for a 2nd rounder this year and a 6th rounder.

RVSS sent the following letter to the RapidRide R team in support of the RapidRide R project. We believe that investment in public transit in the Rainier Valley is both long overdue and incredibly important.

I lived off Rainier for a long time, and the only thing that made grocery shopping possible was the fact that there was a stop right by my apartment. Accessing stores, the food bank, schools, work, and more is going to become more challenging when people have to travel long distances between stops.

Grocery prices are skyrocketing, and Seattleites are working extra shifts, taking second and third jobs and cutting back on other necessities just to keep up. But for some grocery corporations, our struggle is another opportunity for profit.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

A lot of my baseball career has been in analytics but many probably didn’t know I also lead our mental performance group, the psychology and cognition department. This consists of me, several researchers, and coaches who apply our findings back to the players and coaches

i don't know if you guys saw this... they found the horn.

When are people in the sports world going to stand up and say “we would prefer the openly evil 28% approval rating president not attend our game in-person because it is a massive inconvenience for our in-person fans, a strain on local law enforcement, and harms the television product”

oh no! you're telling me Kirk Herbstreit can't talk on this broadcast? that's terrible! that's so terrible! my viewing experience is ruined! oh no!

I hope the business community takes the time to give the Mayor credit for this win. She is clearly being held to a different standard than other Mayors were/would have been, and this is exactly the kind of budget speech that would receive rave reviews if delivered by a Mayor from another faction.

Doug Trumm@metropolitanglide.bsky.social

Wilson noted her budget proposal isn't just balanced for next year, but also through 2030, a best practice Seattle hadn't been following since 2020. @amysundberg.bsky.social broke down the Mayor's push to clean house: www.theurbanist.org/wilson-seeks...

That last SPOG contract Bruce Harrell negotiated was a doozy

Katie Wilson is proposing an increase to SPD's budget by 13.9% ($68M) which will eclipse half a billion dollars. Looks like it's primarily for continuing to hire more police officers.

there are 70 million people for whom this is the biggest song in the world. they watch comedies called like "Wives of Jim" that have run for nine seasons. they're usually pretty affable in person. in 2024 they severed the fate of humanity because of egg prices

“Choosin’ Texas” by Ella Langley officially surpasses “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey as the longest-running #1 hit in history (23 weeks).

the yahoo fantasy app tells me that their matchup probabilities are now driven by kalshi. which makes sense, seeing as they're assigning roughly a 5% chance that Davante Adams scores -8 fantasy points tonight
