Also, I just discovered a broken spoken on my other bike's rear wheel that was just handbuilt at the shop a few months back (and also trued after a couple weeks of riding back then to be safe).

Kind of annoyed with White Industries at the moment. The original press-fit bearings in my Stanyan's MI5 rear hub needed replacement a long while ago, so I had my local bike shop order them (which took forever to be shipped by Enduro) and swap them out. Unfortunately, the same amount of play persisted after the bearing swap despite said shop following White Industries's directions to the T multiple times. My shop has called White Industries multiple times only to not be given any recourse.
I've been out that Stanyan for several weeks now and I don't know if I should just get a different hub put in the wheel or something at this point. 😒

Well ... it's gotta be somewhere! Could be a worn axle too I suppose?
Last time I had terrible wheel play it turned out to be a shitty QR had led to uneven wear on the dropouts, letting the axle shift a little.
Not sure how your hub is constructed. But if it is the bearing seat into the hub, rather than replace the hub you can try something like Loctite bearing seat compound, this sounds like a rubbish hack but I used it successfully on very badly worn bearing seat on a >250kg off road motorcycle rear wheel and it lasted over 50,000km like that so it *does* work 
(To get the bearing exactly centered in a badly flogged-out seat you can raise little craters with a punch all around the inside of the seat, then when you press the bearing home it'll center between the craters and the loctite glue can do its job over the rest of the seat area.)

Got water?
As a long time resident of the #PNW I never thought I would see a news story announcing that #Seattle residents are being asked to conserve water due to #drought conditions.
The red areas on the map indicate extreme drought. This area includes one of the drainage areas that leads to a reservoir where Seattle gets a good share of its water. #WAwx

"Our new rules will eliminate parking mandates for new housing across New York City and dramatically expand the options for adding more homes. Right now, every two parking spots that are added to new buildings take up space for one studio apartment making housing more expensive for everyone. If you want to build parking you still can. But we will not force people to build parking they do not want.”

Of course, CERTAIN people will get all the parking they want—CERTAIN people will be 'taken care of'.
People who wouldn't even think of living in a studio apartment.
The class war continues. But look, new rules!
TIL NYC still had parking mandates. We really don’t get anything good in America

Notice how essentially nobody in Washington asks “if we can afford” an $886 billion defense budget?
No, we only hear that when we need health care, or student debt relief, or climate action, or paid family leave, or universal pre-K, or child-poverty relief.

It's because that "defense" budget goes straight into the bank accounts of the wealthy people behind the "defense" contractors. The same wealthy people who both lobby the government and effectively appoint legislators to the government.
