To better understand Bob Uecker’s significance to Brewers baseball, he called both Hank Aaron’s last MLB home run and Jackson Churio’s first.

California's failure to build high-speed rail is maybe the most egregious example of America's inability to deliver modern infrastructure.
Perhaps it could learn from another Western country with one of the world's largest and cheapest high-speed train networks: Spain.

Talarico: I opened up social media and learned that I apparently had dropped out of the race, had flown to a mental hospital in Ohio, that I had died. This is crazy. Conspiracy theories don't put food on the table. They don't put gas in the tank. They don't actually improve our communities or improve our country. And so I'm going to stay focused on the very real problems that are facing Texans.

Two MAGA influencers claimed to have proof that James Talarico had a mental breakdown. Elon Musk pushed it. Within hours, the story fell apart.
@willsommer and @EggerDC got the full recording that the viral clip was cut from.

The elephant in the classroom: the Oakland school board’s deep ties to the Oakland teachers union.
— Oakland Education Association has spent over $239,000 to elect a school board majority friendly to the union’s financial interests. Those board members have returned the favor.

Oaklandside again checked one candidate's claims but not the other's — and the same side came out ahead.
It gave Nate Adams the benefit of evidence, but not council member Charlene Wang. Its previous school board profile gave it to Jennifer Brouhard. The DSA and teachers union back Adams and Brouhard.

Oakland’s teachers union backs Jennifer Brouhard — and her own party doesn’t. Oaklandside's profile mentions neither.

Encampment fires happen daily in Oakland. They are some of the most toxic things we know of and they happen in neighborhoods already suffering from bad air quality.
So…..how is there not a single lawsuit filed by the Sierra Club or any other left leaning environmentalist groups who sue over EVERYTHING to block developments.
Because it’s never been about the environment, it’s always been about power and narrative control.

Oakland data center moratorium: council member juices stats, plays both sides of issue.
Carroll Fife stood with the data center's CEO last month and said the proposed Oakland data center 'is not the large-scale mega facility that people have expressed.'
Now she is proposing a moratorium citing 'mega' data centers that use 5 million gallons of water per day. But Oakland's would only use an estimated 5,100 gallons. A baseball field uses more.
