Last week I joined a spicy panel asking whether/how AVs fit into NYC. Here's a summary. Me: "It’s just too inefficient to have individuals inside a big box of a car. I don’t care how it’s operated. That’s just not how what you scale to make New York City a faster, more-efficient and safer place."

Worth repeating infinite times. All of these things are intertwined at their cores.

Posting up near Castro and 18th to collect signatures for @connectbayarea.bsky.social’s regional transit ballot measure until at least 3pm today! 🚎✨🏳️‍🌈 I’m wearing a MUNI shirt and holding a clipboard! Swing by if you’ve been looking to sign or just to say hi! 😻

[paywall is easy to get by and is very worth the effort to skip] This article tells the perfect story of external forces expecting tradition versus what current residents want and need. @siegman.biz, thanks a ton for landing this article in my feed! Tastes like hope and progress. 🫡🚫🅿️

This story is horrifying, all of the trigger warnings. My heart aches for the victim and those in their circle. Tell me again that cars aren’t weapons. Tell me again that “cars vs guns” isn’t a real argument. Tell me again that pedestrians are reckless.

🚨 BR8KING NEWS!!! 🚨  Mayor Katie Wilson will speak THIS WEDNESDAY, 1:15PM @ Denny/Westlake to unveil plans to Fix the Route 8 speed and reliability crisis. Come join us to Rally for The L8 and show support!

Nothing hits in signature gathering to fund Bay Area transit like someone who has already signed walking right up to you and making their friends sign. 😹😻

San Francisco would make sooo much money with this

One piece to the puzzle of improving BART service is stabilizing their operational revenue in some capacity. Instead of putting resources into figuring out how to do more with less, they can dedicate those resources to strengthening service and securing more revenue.

I’m so lucky to live in a place where these roll down my street every day.

I can’t make it, but these are always a blast! Highly encourage anyone who hasn’t gone to give it a shot!

I had a line for people who wanted to sign to get the ballot measures to save Bay Area transit on the ballot… … and it was longer than the line for drinks! There are a ton of people out there still who want to sign, we just have to find them! 🫡🎉

This video touches on so much of the problematic foundational practice and policy of California’s urban thinking through the lens of the Bay Area. From SMART to street meat, Prop 13 to Pliny the Younger, Ghirardelli to generational hoarding. @nerd4cities.bsky.social has you covered, as always.

Kia ora, tereina

I got this look earlier when I said that kids don’t play outside anymore because streets are dangerous.

Sorry I didn’t make it, I accidentally clicked on an hour long video explaining bait, rocks, and ball capture rates in the Safari Zone of Pokémon and I’m no quitter.

“Yes, 311, there’s a bear sleeping on the N.”

Space stuff is cool. We should do somewhat less war stuff and somewhat more space stuff. Artemis II is $4bn per launch, roughly the cost of 2-4 days of War in Iran. What if we did not do War in Iran, but instead did cool space stuff?

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

lmao good luck with this one guys

WE want to Fix the L8 and we want YOU to Fix the L8 too! If you’re involved with an organization or business along the route, our DMs are open! We want to hear from you about comments or concerns and are happy to present to your group

Siri, add to my gift registry.

@amtrak.com’s social media folks deserve a raise for this one.

“There is no war in Ba Sing Se.” TIL there is no disruptive disobedience in BSS… but there is war.

We did it!

This is the perspective we should be taking for American public transit. I love this. Infrastructure is unsafe, headways are terrible, reliability is questionable. We have the capacity and chutzpah to make it better, it doesn’t have to stay bad! Thanks @evanedinger.bsky.social, great video!

Taking public transit to Monster Jam because I am an urbanist who contains multitudes.

There’s only so much I can do to control my sleep schedule, sometimes the world just decides a co-co-inhabitor of your space needs to rearrange furniture between 4 and 7 am. Are drugs involved? Who can really say! ✨🌈🎉 Anyway here’s a fun video about how private capital ruin chain restaurants.

New @renzaro.com In Transit dropped, finally! <3 Quote of the video, @jeremyzorek.bsky.social: “they literally took car lanes and turned them into train” Obvi big old thanks to @milesintransit.com too. Iconic, doing your thing™. 🥨🚎🥖 Last 👀 to my @sftru.bsky.social homie Robert who pops up! <3

Of all of @nerd4cities.bsky.social’s top 10 lists, I think this is the one I’m most proud of SF being on. 🫡🧀🎂🏭 Do you even live in a city if you don’t have Transit Oriented Cheeseburger Spring Rolls™? I just ask the question, I’ll let the urbanists decide.

Maybe one day in SF…

Bay Area students are leading the push to save BART. From posters to social media, they advocate for the Connect Bay Area sales tax to prevent service cuts and station closures. “Transit is a lifeline,” says senior Laurel Tu. www.mercurynews.com/2026/03/24/b...

that's right

Coming in 3rd at Hi Tops trivia is probably my third proudest moment in my trivia career (cuz it’s haaaaard). #1 tying for first at MUNI trivia during Transit Month #2 winning the whole month at Let’s Get Trivial (Toad Hall) #3 tonight <3

THE AI DOC was a cheeky little semi-narrative walkthrough of what anyone who has ever just googled “what is a ai and im confused do i job” There was one metaphor tho that I will never forget but is too vulgar to post here. 🐎💩 Made it worth the price of admission* *(free cuz I work there)

Batman knows what's up. 1/

Rather than gnash our teeth about Americans taking fewer vacations by air and car, let's invest in strong inter-city and long distance bus travel. It is possible for that to be a comfortable, reasonably enjoyable option.

My current hot take is that ATmosphereConf (BlueSky) in Vancouver and the Crosslake Connection opening (transit) in Seattle did not coincidentally happen at the same time. This was a coordinated effort to strengthen Big Foam™ via PNW.

I just bought a digital copy even though I own a physical one SPECIFICALLY for conversational referencing. I apologize in advance to my non-TWOC-pilled homies out there (not really).

My eternal enemy; 5:55 am. Am I up late or am I up early? It’s yet to be determined. Only the future knows.

SF politics is indeed a "knife fight in a phone booth." Policymakers will drag down the city to score a point for their team over micro-definition of other team. I dream of an SF focused on public good outcomes. Airing debate about trade-offs, then making a decision

Everybody else: [goes about their daily lives] Me: what if car horns were as loud on the inside as they are on the outside?

There’s no housing crisis Okay there’s a housing crisis but it’s because of vacant homes. Actually, the housing crisis is because of AirBnb Actually, the housing crisis is because of Blackstone You are here > Actually it’s RealPage’s fault. What will the next red herring be?

San Francisco BART: The worst-case scenarios are actually worse than you've heard. Good overview of why the Bay Area’s transit backbone is in such bad financial shape. A lot can be blamed on 1960s-70s decisions. Still, here we are. missionlocal.org/2026/03/bart...
