We are pro-immigrant—the King however: “He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.”

I will never forget my cousin telling me his neighbor in a suburban Dallas neigbhorhood threatened to shoot his daughter when she curb-parked in front of their residence.

From @maxmautner.com: > If the bar for “knowing how to shift gears” is simply “can physically move the shifter,” that’s probably most geared-bike riders. This was me until ~4years ago 😅 i don't think I "got it" until someone explained it to me and then practiced. maxmautner.com/2026/04/11/g...

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

Let's not forget that a 4-year old was killed by a driver, leaping the sidewalk and running through the front of a Poke restaurant. Guess what vehicle the Poke bar owner drives?

Scott Wiener is an absolute saint

They hate us cuz they ain’t us

Hell yeah brother

Drivers love to tell me how much more convenient and practical it is for them to drive than take the bus, ride a bike, or walk. Then they will lose their minds at any additional inconvenience - paying for parking, stopping for pedestrians, turning down their music. Toughen up.

Capitalism baby

my taxes paid for that parking spot. you're welcome

I love e-scooters, they just give me the impression that they are not easy enough to maintenance and that they are bound for a dumpster heap intolerably fast.

Not every day you get to see a Claudia Sheinbaum bumper sticker in San Mateo, CA:

Anthropic’s Mythos model is just its Opus model where it's coded to answer its own questions that it poses.

We have all been there!

Insane being a Californian seeing people post pictures of $4 gas going ‘I don’t know how we’re expected to survive.’ You are a weak people, grown decadent and fat on the sap of the earth. You will welcome our armies as liberators.

San Mateo, CA sure does have a parking problem

(A substantial evidence review recently found that the odds of being killed if you're hit by an SUV or pickup truck are 44% higher than if you're hit by a smaller car. For children, the odds of dying go up 82% injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/32/1...) 3/10

Regional planning boards that control federal transportation funding are 97% homeowners in metro areas that average 69% homeownership. Renters hold 3% of seats. Over half of boards are 100% drivers. That's who decides whether your region builds highways or transit. cayimby.org/blog/how-ame...

Residential electrician tells me he is not optimistic about EVs, e-bikes. Very negative on the battery lifecycle, & residential charging infrastructure--though he does EV charger installs somewhat often. If electricians aren't fans of electrification, wth is going on?
