Outlook for the new year ...

Funny that I’ve moved from one of the first places to ring in the new year to one of the last

I wrote about apartments. I don’t think we’re building good ones open.substack.com/pub/ericerin...

lord grant me the confidence to be this profoundly incorrect about something

it’s my birthday :)

it’s like Anthony Bourdain said: once you’ve been to San Francisco, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Marc Andreessen to death with your bare hands

An (embarrassing) mastery of the passive voice, here.

I’m from Whoville, and I say kill the Grinch!

just about 68 years ago, O. Winston Link (better known for photography, but who also made extensive audio recordings) captured the sound of train 42 "The Pelican" rolling through Rural Retreat VA on Christmas Eve around 11PM www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdWl...

Me and my friends would have beaten Uncle Billy with hammers I can tell you that much.

from the "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" article

Happy holidays everyone!! ♥️ #kastyoureyes #furryart

No matter what tech bros tell you, Waymo is an attack on public transit. The reason they deny this fact, rather than admitting that they just don’t care, is because the median voter cares a lot more about the bus than a driverless car.

Guess I’m just not getting a flu shot this year given the run-around that the province’s various health agencies are giving me. The system back home was far from perfect but at least I could simply walk up and pay for one if I had to.

Beware the wolf in sheep's clothing... Some TNOTH doodles from a while back 🐏 bahh

Rewatched Night of the Hunter recently and I was thinking about this fantastic piece again

Kyle MacLachlan Subaru Impreza Ad Japan, (Around 1992-1993). Serious Dougie Jones vibes (the jacket...) #twinpeaks

I take it all back we should absolutely let AI run the vending machines

I think this piece is valuable in that it forces to name what exactly our alternative vision (aesthetic and political) to Trumpism really is. There’s an unstated assumption On Here that we can somehow make it politically 2012 again, which is impossible. What do we want our new world to look like?

This is a hot DC-10 landing photo.

In France they do infrastructure for fun, every decent mid size town has a tram, Paris converts roads to cycle lanes from motor vehicle gridlock "pas de problém" Netherlands takes national pride in infrastructure. Dams, cyclepath. Roads in tiptop condition UK: nah, sorry Bruv maybe in 20 years

Corktown, Detroit, before-and-after federal highway construction and “urban renewal” in the 1960s and 70s, which leveled much of the neighborhood and displaced thousands of residents. More photos and information: www.segregationbydesign.com/detroit/cork...

Tallawong is the perfect case study on how park-and-rides can never scale up to meet the capacity of a metro line but will consume the prime land around the station trying to do so. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

When mad drivers tell you that you, a cyclist, don't belong on roads because you don't pay registration and the gas tax, show them the Road Damage Calculator. Compare, for example, the damage made by a small SUV and a longtail cargo e-bike. Very different orders of magnitude roaddamagecalculator.com

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

The movies Reiner directed, from A Few Good Men to The Princess Bride, weren't just good — they were people's favorites, the types of films people come back to again and again. n.pr/48L9Y0s

Too few people know about the origin of the “Kill the Bastards” image
