Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.

lmao

For once Trump clearly articulates the core contradiction at the heart of Federal housing policy for the last...idk, 100+ years? I don't think he will do anything meaningful about it. But at least he laid bare the contradiction holding us back as a society.

! Sens. Heinrich and Whitehouse says permitting reform is dead unless Trump admin reverses offshore wind project decisions

Every homeowner should be barred from future votes on housing since the potential for gain is far higher than Jesse Zwick's piddly ass nonprofit salary.

Make the case that I should vote for the crypto shill in my deep blue district, I'll wait.

The NY TWU turned opposed congestion pricing as well. Really seems like they're laser-focused on extracting the rents they can from a static or declining system rather than participating in a positive-sum program to expand transit service to more New Yorkers

CLOWN SHIT

Laws exist.

Bill Clinton: I feel your pain. Donald Trump: I don't feel your pain, and neither do you.

So true. Tell that to DCOP. Allowed McDonalds to put a new drive thru on South Dakota by me. Embarrassing.

single stair stans salivate over significant safety study

Matthew Broderick in full sad sack mode would make a great Rubio.

This is funny, but also spotlights the core issue with GenAI: if I can’t trust it to produce something accurate from a straightforward, easily confirmed, fact-based prompt, how can I possibly trust it with anything more complex?

“Some experts say”

AI companies tout their spending on data centers but are quieter about training data, where their spending is also surging. One reason may be that increased spending on task-specific data looks more like the trajectory of a normal technology than imminent AGI. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

An illustration of how L.A. City Public Works so-called "Large Asphalt Repair" works (or really *doesn't work*). Today Bureau of Street Services left an un-resurfaced ~4-ft-wide strip on a 30-ft-wide part of Hoover... in order to avoid triggering curb ramps for wheelchair access

They can call this a pedestrian bridge all they want, but this is auto-infrastructure.

very grimly ironic that our government run by podcasters sucks at true crime

If you voted for this, you have massive loser energy

Woof. This guy sucks.

"Prior generations didn't have" There were Irish-American gangs doing pogroms in Boston in the 30s you stupid asshole

The idea that prior generations didn’t have “ethnic grievances”. Shakes head in “Irish need not apply”

This should be recited at the start of any planning meeting like the pledge of allegiance. “A gradually increasing intermixture of low-rise apartments in older, single-family neighborhoods serves so many market functions that it should be given toleration if not encouragement.”

I’m going to mad about this excerpt for the rest of the day I think. The very worst of liberal policymaking instincts on display here so of course a committee consultant wrote it.

Everything the experts and people knowledgeable about congestion pricing said would happen has happened, and nothing the ignorant doomers whined about for years on X and in community meetings has happened. bsky.app/profile/fund...

This happened in my city last week. Since it seems like the entire world is obsessing over the potential dangers of teens riding ebikes lately, I feel like a reminder is in order: drivers are far and away the greatest threat to your kid and everyone else on the road, and always will be.

the thing is there really is a epochal tech revolution happening, it’s called renewables and green industry

When the heroes you haven’t met have a particular set of skills.

Oh Jesus

jerome powell telling a reporter during his presser that raising and lowering interest rates will not fix a structural housing shortage. he's right to say it

Love to see this type of infill development right around the corner from a subway station. Don't feel too bad for the church: they got $6 MILLION for this 5,000 sqft lot. 817 Classon Avenue, Crown Heights One story church and parking lot into 19 new homes 2022➡️2025

Whale Oil legacy?

The “add WiFi to bus stops” of aviation policy

When cameras are installed, they issue many violations in the first month, followed by a steep decline in the second month. This suggests that the cameras effectively deter speeding by changing underlying driver behavior rather than relying on sustained revenue extraction.

Minnesota last year eliminated prison gerrymandering. A law, signed by Governor Tim Walz, will end the practice of counting incarcerated people where prisons are located, which skews political power within the state.

Another RCV casualty

The fact that the initial strikes were illegal makes it even worse

This came to me in a dream

Sadly, this story implicitly accepts the notion that a US Senator should place keeping his own job for another term over saving the lives of others. Bill Cassidy is becoming a profile in cowardice. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Yeah I like waymo. Waymo public transit, bike lanes and benches!

Going to be this generation’s Abu Ghraib photo. Such a self-inflicted travesty.
