Yikes, an 8:00 am single-car train! Accessible seats are occupied, and a guy with a walker is sharing the back of the car with a bicycle. If you see crowding during the single-car pilot, make sure you report it to both Metro and RAISE. bsdstl.org/singlecarsur... tally.so/r/D4rYxj #stl #StLouis

big failure from the NBA to not get two of its teams to move one (1) regular season game. the NBA owns 42% of the WNBA (functionally more, since a lot of NBA owners own teams) and should be invested in wanting the league to grow, even at minor expense to its more popular product
BREAKING: Game 6 of the WNBA Finals will be held Thursday at 12:30pm ET at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, sources told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. It will be a double-header with the Atlanta Hawks’ game, which will be moved to 8pm.

"Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), who chairs the DSCC, have both maxed out to Turek through their leadership PACs"- from June Dem leader shouldn't interfere in local primaries in any case- but doing so on behalf of Turek should cost Schumer his job. www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Here's some of "Mason Row", a collection of acquisitions of former BSB multi-families. Rents here after upgrades don't seem outlandish but are much higher than before. My guess is most of BSB's units were well below 60% of AMI. Unsubsidized "Naturally Occuring Affordable Housing," if you will.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted
We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.
