@YesOnESanDiego
campaign.
At some point this weekend I'll write up some more comprehensive thoughts, but all I can say right now is THANK YOU San Diego! Onwards and upwards. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
In my inbox this evening:
“I’ve been told by an extremely credible source that someone at the league office has confirmed that San Diego will be awarded an MLS franchise if Measure E passes on Tuesday.”
Well
@DaniThayy
heard it first,
@YIMBYDemsSD
heard it next, and at this point I’m happy to share that earlier today I was selected to fill the rather large shoes of

UPDATE:
I found my bike. No luck with Liam's or Josh's yet but I took a spin by the local encampment in Midway and spotted my bike half hidden under a tarp. Headlamp and back light are gone but the Flying Nimbus is safe at home.
Well it looks like my bike has been burgled right out of my garage along with
@Liam_Dow
's and my roommate's. I'm so sad. I've had the Flying Nimbus since college. If you see either of these along your travels kindly find me.
One week from tomorrow I'll be attending my first ever
@premierleague
game at Old Trafford with my mom to watch our beloved
@ManUtd
take on
@LCFC
and I still don't think it's hit me yet.
Pleased to announce that I have been elected to the board of the Midway Pacific Highway Community Planning Group to fill a recent/unexpected vacancy for the rest of the three-year term that started in March of 2018. Wish me luck! All advice is welcome.

Once a long time ago I signed off and sent an email:
Sincerely,
Die
Suffice it to say I now check and double check that I've typed my name properly prior to sending.
The YIMBY movement is starting to win some victories. It has a very long way to go, but at this point there's no way people are going to give up on housing abundance.
I’ve decided it’s high time I start kicking around again. It’s been almost 11 months since the Achilles rupture and I am READY.
Kindly send your recommendations for where I can lace up and play some pick up. Indoor/outdoor/futsal all valid.
If I hear one more person from Mission Hills talmbout how they and/or “the public” doesn’t know about a public project/process that has been in the news for YEARS…

I did laundry today.
Today
@SanDiegoLoyal
recorded its first clean sheet of the season.
Coincidence..?!
We’ll find out on Saturday when I do laundry again…
@virgilabloh
Appreciate you taking the time to dig up these photos man. I assume you’ve been equally diligent in skimming through my responses to your fans. I look forward to this new drop and I really hope Nike continues to get creative with the soccer community 👌🏿👍🏿
I tried reading this but stopped after the first sentence.

understood that I want
@sandiegowavefc
content and not your old white memories of an American football team that once upon a time played in San Diego.
Do better. It’s not hard.
Please to announce I’m joining
@LeadershipSD
for the 2019 season. It’s a prestigious organization, designed to cultivate San Diego’s up and coming progressives. I’m really looking forward to joining up with the squad and building on my already formidable abilities.
#SDLA2019
During the campaign to decide the fate of Mission Valley last fall,
@SDSU
repeatedly promised to pay “fair market value” for the old Qualcomm Stadium site.
Now, a top school official says the city should reduce the sales price by millions.
“I look at the Midway area as one of those opportunities to really do it right, to set the kind of blueprint we need going forward,” Anyiwo said. “It really is for me the heart of new San Diego.”
I'm counting THREE separate sports related proclamations at today's
@SDCityCouncil
hearing, including one for
@SanDiegoLoyal
's anniversary on 6/19! I'm with it.
In a recent interview with the Sports Business Journal, MLS commissioner Don Garber considered San Diego a “priority market.” MLS is looking for its 30th franchise by the end of the calendar year.
This is a great rundown of my debate this morning regarding (once again) removing the Midway-Pacific Highway Community Planning Area from the long-standing artificial constraint forced upon us by a ballot measure dating back to 1972.
I finally got around to hanging my print shot by the ever-excellent
@AdrianaHeldiz

According to the Morning Report in my inbox, this is the last week to order one so go ahead and make that happen if you haven’t already.
This is the clearest indication I’ve seen to date from this story and I reckon it’s increasingly safe to say that this MLS expansion effort is under way. I just need to know where my
@SanDiegoLoyal
land in all this.

Yea what’s up with that
@LaMonicaPeters
? Was there no one else you thought of interviewing for a quote? Friends/family/colleagues of the deceased? Anyone from the cycling community? The reporting is fine but the decision to quote Pat Sexton of all people for this story is at the
Imagine how gross it would be if they interviewed the anti-bike lane crusader on 30th street (and no one else) for the story of the woman who was killed biking on Pershing Drive.
Oh wait, they fucking did. Delete your article
@CBS8
@LaMonicaPeters
I heard from a friend who heard from a friend that yesterday SDSU West representatives confessed to a concerned local watchdog organization that they have “no idea” how to fund their proposed redevelopment of Mission Valley.
The last time I hung out with
@blockgreg
was a few weeks after Father’s Day this past summer. I’ll always remember the light in his eyes as he told me about going to breakfast with his daughter and how that tradition of theirs had evolved over the years. That memory will stay…
Last week
@krisstyandaur
revealed on a fairly famous local podcast that
@1904_FC
merch 🤞🏿should🤞🏿 be dropping tomorrow.
I can confirm that I have seen said merch. I can also confirm that I will be augmenting my wardrobe with said merch sooner rather than later.

Apparently my boss at
@soccerloco
rode the train to LA and back with
@JonesWright4DA
last Tuesday. He said "she's a cool ass lady."
I'm inclined to concur.
A while back I had this craaaazy idea of talking to people as opposed to talking at people. That idea has evolved a bit but I’m excited for this first iteration to see the world. Here’s a little snippet for the time being though...
