Interesting! Many unexpected/counter-intuitive parts of the ranking, based on overall transit system size.

So I spent *way* too much time on this, but here's how long it takes to walk to the nearest train station at all 30 MLB stadiums

Huge, clutch shots down the stretch by Sabrina and Jonquel. Great game, great series. Can’t wait for game 4 tonight! #WNBA

Great analysis/reflection, highlighting important points & questions that should be emphasized more

Impressive win! Sabrina, Jonquel & Stewie’s decisiveness/assertiveness/ confidence going at Vegas has a decidedly different feel from last year.

New York puts the dagger in Game 1 😤

Stewie floater.
Jonquel MONSTER block.

1/What does the data say about teacher well-being as a new school year starts? Let's walk through some few stats.

Not even garden-variety fascism. This is far more crass genocidal, Hitlerite stuff here.

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

A Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas has ruled against Darryl George, a Black high school student who wanted to wear his natural locs. This is why I keep telling y'all that elections have consequences.

Yay San Diego! Also important to note that the Blue (most ridden) Line was extended in 2021, which led to big ridership increases (e.g. +66% on that line the 1st yr)

U.S. #teachers earn roughly two-thirds of what other college-educated people earn, and are the 2nd-lowest paid in the OECD relative to people with their same level of education

Super entertaining game! Reese’s strong finishing and rebounding, Clark’s passing and running of the team both really impressive. And what a find Carter has been: 20 ppg since becoming a starter + adding a new dimension of offensive versatility #wnba

[WNBA @WNBA]

Game Recap: The @chicagosky and @IndianaFever competed in another absolute thriller that came down to the wire, but ultimately the Sky prevailed 88-87 ‼️

#7 overall pick Angel Reese had a career afternoon boasting a career-high 25 PTS, 16 REB

Right! And the unfavorable staffing ratios are based on not having enough $ to hire more teachers in the first place. Very unfortunate.

[Marguerite Roza @MargueriteRoza]

CA fines LAUSD $8M (!) for violating staffing ratios in recently expanded preK.

Per State Rep David Alvarez "The penalties are important to... hold districts accountable."

Hmm... Who feels the sting w these fines? Now there's $8M less for LAUSD kids.

@DanielKayHertz Interesting to see the data! I wonder if there are generational/age differences too.

[Marco Chacón @Marco_A_Chacon]

I like it! Strong defense, rebounding, tenacity. Good start to the rebuild. I look forward to seeing them play together. #WNBA

[Marco Chacón @Marco_A_Chacon]

Interesting data and visualization!

Gaza’s universities embodied the ambitions of young Palestinians.

In weeks, the Israeli military destroyed them.

@DanielKayHertz Good point

Testimony from Doctors Without Borders:

"Israeli forces have attacked our convoys, detained our staff, bulldozed our vehicles... For a second time, one of our staff shelters has been hit. This pattern of attacks is either intentional, or indicative of reckless incompetence."
