Once again, Bud Selig and Major League Baseball prove that they have no coherent grasp on how to run a league.

SFist witnessed a new apartment building tszuj the skyline with spectacular, gaudy turquoise aplomb, the (informal) renaming of the Mission/SOMA neighborhood border, the return of the Maltese Falcon, the Mayor Gavin Newsom mea culpa-ing over his Hawaiian getaway during the oil spill, and double-decker buses hitting the streets of San Francisco. Oh, and some baseball player named Barry Bonds is a liar whose pants, it seems, are totally on fire. LAist continues to cover the...

Seattlest watches as a S.L.U.T. is born and Seattle Flickr users go nuts over a local art installation. A restaurant critic demands a Diner's Bill of Rights over a gnat next to her drink, and, in lieu of a Portlandist, Seattlest debates with itself over the identity of the Northwest's crown jewel. Seattlest also joins the guys from Fantagraphics for an ill-fated gun party in the woods.

Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt, who has completely covered her house in mosaic tiles.

This week ended with the launch of the seventh and final Harry Potter installation. But while the world was consumed with Pottermania, it's important to remember that there were more serious things going on in the world, too – two of them in -Ist cities.

-Ryan Howard has always been a great home-run hitter, but before yesterday, we couldn’t call him anything more than "2005 NL Rookie of the Year," and "2006 NL MVP." Boo hoo, we know. But let’s face it, there have been countless rookie greats and MVPs since we’ve been born, and we don’t care to put Howard in the same category as Barry Bonds, because Bonds is a clown. We could introduce him as the...

Before we begin, we'd like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family of James Kim. We are not, by any means, trying to discount that tragedy by juxtaposing posts about the Kims with more light-hearted posts. It's the nature of doing a compilation such as this one: we're trying to give a full slice of the goings-on in the Ist-a-Verse: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Just after bragging about how we figured out all our internet woes, the internet in our temporary squat crapped out on us. Again. Tech support looked at our modem status and said "Oh, that's bad." So we're taking advantage of a library computer lab while we bring you the latest and greatest that our fellow -ists have posted since last we checked in!

Shanghaiist probably knows a little more about China than the Chicago Sun-Times. Giving them the benefit of the doubt on that one. The city does to have a music scene. Don't even front like they don't. They also have Dorito bananas and white guys shopping for wives. What they don't have is any more tolerance for jaywalkers.

The Phillies are riding high into this weekend’s series with the San Francisco Giants. Showing some of that “fighting” side, the Phils worked themselves up to a .500 record by beating the Atlanta Braves 6-3 last night.

A three-game winning streak? Could it be? We think so. The Phils took one out of three from the terrible Pittsburg Pirates and then won both in a set with the Florida Marlins.

There's a whole wide world out there, and here's the proof:

Our -ist pals are probably out celebrating springtime weather and the beginning of the weekend. Which is exactly what we'll be doing, as soon as we post this.

Today, we've taken out all the colons. Non-surgically.

After professing our love to our fellow -ist sites yesterday, we thought we'd lay low and just tell you about what they're writing. Crushes can live another day.
