Caltrain northbound on a Saturday. Fund transit.

Ebikes are the great equalizer.

I am generally pleased with "Vibe Coding" now, or as I like to refer to it "Micromanaging agents". Claude Code is pretty fun to work with and the time from idea to working code is so short that I'm a little sad that it's over so quickly.

Making a list of things in this world that I want to teach my daughter how to protect herself from as she gets older. ✅ People in cars. ✅ People with guns. ✅ Toxic males. I think humanity has the ability to better control all three of these, but we're actively choosing not to at the moment.

How badly did your section of the country fumble it's time and money on bad infrastructure? I made a very vibes based map on my travel experiences

"City Unclear Why Transit Ridership Isn't Up - Cuts Service In Last Ditch Effort To Turn Things Around"

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling.

The reason drivers hate on cyclists so much is that with car supremacy, drivers get intolerably upset when cyclists just float through car traffic. We violate the established hierarchy. How can they let this stand?

The horrible beauty of the news cycle these days is that the stupid burns so hard and fast that the media just can barely keep up with the shifting sands. Imma leave this here: cnn.it/46lyAwJ

What do you call it when literally anyone resisting a corrupt dictator is called a “domestic terrorist?”

“The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…” That was last year. I can only imagine where the US reputation is now. The fastest destruction of a nation’s reputation in history?

Lunch S$6.

I generally don't like to post screenshots of text, but someone posted this in our local Strong Towns group and it was too good not to share here.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

this might be the stupidest thing of all time.

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

Getting my pupils dilated is the least fun I’m going to have all day. Also, I like using my eyes during waking hours, so that’s gonna be trouble.

Think much of the over-parenting we despise stems from the early on fear of the driver. If parents weren't terrified of our streets kids would have so much more freedom and independence which might get them comfortable with their children's ability to navigate the world without them.

This is your reminder that the news cycle these days is complete batshit insane compared to a decade ago. What absolute bullshit flying around!

The best part of Thanksgiving is all the annual texts you receive from people you don’t see enough. It’s a reminder to make plans with them.

I’m reading a book on paper and came across a word I didn’t know. I found myself tapping on the page to get its definition. It didn’t work. Muscle memory in the wrong context is so embarrassing.

Weddings really are the best of times.

There is a Porg on my plane’s winglet. I don’t know how I feel about that.

A big part of living in SF appears to be planning on exactly when to leave the house to hit the optimal weather window for the outing. Also, how much or little to wear or carry with you based on the destination.

My only note is that should be a Mets cap

Zohran’s citibike numbers make me feel like we need to start demanding bike share stats from our politicians in the same way we demand tax returns

​New Zealand will replace its gas tax with road user charges based on distance, time, and weight. "Weight" is an intriguing variable. Will owners of massive SUVs and utes need to pay extra b/c of their environmental and safety costs? (They should.)
