As I got older I really tried to make sure I wouldn't end up criticizing what "kids these days" were doing, expecting it to be novel, but those kids got me anyway by instead doing what's most embarrassing about millennials. Basically I saw a gen-z sublime cover band is what I'm saying.

Also now that they have drafts here we are so back

Wanting people to only speak English is sour grapes that Spain colonized some places first. Yeah, sorry another country was also good at colonizing fucko, next time you hear Spanish just think game recognize game

If I'm being honest, the collapse of the post-Cold War international order and the violent occupation of an American city are making it difficult for me to concentrate on housing policy.

Agree. There should never have been a DHS. (Argued that at the time.) Nor the "Patriot" Act. Every Democrat, every actual patriot, should start with abolishing the modern gestapo that is "ICE."

AI is the culmination of the instagram culture of "who did this"/"credit on request" stealing of content, which itself was created by the hopelessly long copyright lengths in the US

Honestly, after so many of the Kennedys getting killed it makes sense one of them would be like, "what if..."

More fundamentally, the political tension in American cities right now is between a faction who exists to protect the rents of incumbent interests and another who is allergic to any idea of trade-offs because they think there's a magic button that eliminates scarcity and only they will press it.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

The rise of on-deck-bucket open mics was the worst thing to happen to standup

If Pepsi just did an anti AI commercial I'd drink it from here on out. And I fucking hate Pepsi.

Today was the hardest day of my life. We fought for nearly a decade to bring secure bike parking to NYC and ultimately were completely excluded from the @nyc-dot.bsky.social process for citywide system. To those who believed in us and our vision, I am so sorry. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/01/a...

Why don't they make the whole faucet out of the hard water?

Kings Hawaiian are trash

Sink outside the bathroom is the solution

Sometimes I wish I had a simpler life where I was a bartender at a place called "the mechanical room" and I got to ask my coworkers if they "turned the gears on yet"

The fact that the free market approach to health care has resulted in such extreme levels of tragedy has really scrambled people's brains that it cannot possibly be appropriate to supply other things

People somewhat reasonably assume that the rules governing our built environments are built on careful assessment of the best available science and rigorous analysis of tradeoffs but in reality it's like 85% vibes.

There are people driving around behind ICE honking their horns to warn people, and then there are the people in the replies too afraid to publicly say they went to a No Kings march

if you are a US citizen doing nothing illegal the people sneering/screaming/scolding that you shouldn't do this are confusing their own mental illness with Opsec.

It’s extremely funny because the online fringe can’t decide if No Kings is either a terrifying brush with death or a do-nothing wine mom fake protest, and it becomes kind of clear after a while they just feel angst about stuff happening in reality

I just saw a delivery robot with a bad wheel. That thing was loud as hell but it's still going

Bass calling Los Angeles a "Pro Housing City" is another level of deranged

We need to talk about oversized trucks and the aesthetic of fascism.

Orange County is so car brained they forgot what a town is

Even if there were good candidates the machine of the Democratic Party is just a shell around a termite infestation of consulting firms

My butcher diagram has been rejected by butcher school again

It's time for clear eyed thinking about the potential for the large-scale destruction of public transit in American cities. It could happen in the next two years. Thread... 1/

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines "These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

WORLD’S FIRST EVER DUAL BUS-TRAIN BANNER BREAK-THROUGH!!!!! LAX/Metro Transit Center opens 5pm!

Wore a shirt directly from Goodwill because the germs need to understand that they aren't getting on me, I'm getting on them.

If I were programming AI with the express goal of making humans feel helpless, I would begin by summarizing everyone's emails in the passive voice. (The email being summarized said: "Thanks!")

Honestly shut the fuck up. Running a coal plant non stop can't solve the fact that cars take up 60 times the space of people.

It's wild that we have strip malls with one of each type of shop you need to live, and no one is allowed to live above them

Really not looking forward to the number of one-named comics on this Tucson open mic

El Salvador refusing to return people is itself the justification for granting asylum

Posting AI art is like driving 2000 miles for a wooden sign that says "home is where the wine is"

Guys, please, the penguins wouldn't be paying the tariffs, we would pay the tariffs on penguin made goods

You know what's some good shit? Stuff from other countries.

Spotted a BART car outside Laramie Wyoming heading west.

The toilets here in Wyoming flush like they are trying to waste water

Middling comedy movies always have a scene with a coach bus

At least now I know the news is always bad instead of having hope

TSA flagged my carry on for a suspicious item. Turns out it was a book.

Will people finally believe me when I say elected Democrats regard their base voters, with their incessant demand to do things and fix things, as the primary antagonist to wrestle away, and the Republican Party as a distant and immutable force, like the weather?

Really not getting the vibe of modern medicine when you go to the doctor on ash Wednesday

Blue sky earthquake up and running yet?
