This was an all-timer for lulling the opponent to sleep even before adding in 44 years worth of revenge…

Listening to this podcast on the Transit Abundance Playbook, and they (IMO, incorrectly) attribute the Silver Line routing to Dulles in the highway median as avoidance of utilities and permitting and governance… These are all real issues! But not for Dulles rail. overcast.fm/+AABWmEbG-Cw...

Profoundly disagree with this: both the idea that density requires good transit as a prerequisite, and that the “competence” of the coalition is the most important thing.

Been writing and talking about this a bunch and there really is so much to do to build a better world for each other. There’s more to do than you think, and stuff takes longer than you think. But it’s worth it. We might as well get to work & have fun doing it. rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/buildin...

Whhhhhaaaaaat

GIJON IS AVENGED

Hahaha no way. They did it!

Magnificent!

Embodied carbon ("Building material production") is really insignificant compared to other emissions. It is not worth adding cost to densification to drive these numbers down – concrete and steel are nothing compared to the energy required to heat/cool suburban houses and fuel cars to access them.

Yes. Also, the only constant is change.

That’s the good stuff, Cape Verde advancing on the back of a pair of 0-0 draws

I’ve defended the spot that agencies and local governments are in thanks to the absurd FIFA requirements, but… I don’t know what NJT was expecting to happen here.

A lot of people assume that the housing market circa 1975-2005, when urban housing was cheap even without new development thanks to rapid sprawl and white flight, is the natural state of the world and not an historically anomalous period shaped by housing and transportation policy choices.

Wait why am I seeing so many tweets about Culver’s?

the problem with the suburbs is that they’re not walkable and it turns out actually you can build walkable suburbs

This is why cities need old tenements and rusty awnings. Hard surfaces can reach extreme temperatures when exposed to the sun, while shaded hard surfaces stay dramatically cooler. This is the effect of sun and shade in one image. Hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while shade reduces it.

Are you not entertained?!? Is this not why you are here?!?

And here I thought they liked bikes in the Netherlands

Oh right, our backup centerbacks

It’s telling how many of today’s “basic features” were luxurious in cars when I was a kid: power windows, power mirrors, cruise control…

Fascinating discussion about how China saved everyone’s bacon by absorbing a huge share of oil demand destruction… and why. overcast.fm/+ABGreDxZxeI

Another fuzzy definition of “sprawl” here. The culs-de-sac are load-bearing components of sprawl! Urban sprawl is not just outward development, is is exactly this kind of car-centric design.

New on the blog: how @caltrain.com could accomplish level boarding soon, fast and cheap. This is their most important capital project.

This is great - they don’t get into it in the article, but weight is also a factor here: heavier vehicles carry more kinetic energy, and also require those larger A-pillars to support the weight in a rollover.

The Ring cam footage has to be seen to be believed, the Tesla is basically a rocket into the house www.nytimes.com/2026/06/21/u...

Man, this is a fun game.

Yes. I want the US in a combo of Waldos + a blue shirt with a white sash.

I’m still a bit surprised how much Atlanta had to change the stadium to meet FIFA’s requirements compared to an ATL United game… Pitch size wasn’t an issue; it’s their run-off areas.

Oh no! Disaster! What a bad idea!

This is going to sound stupid, so kick the crap out of me for saying it: Chicago is breathtakingly enormous in a way that New York -- and maybe, really, no other US city -- is enormous. It's the combined effect of lines towers for miles, it's giant imposing block-sized buildings, it's the density.

Almost fooled them there with the double-negative

Canada having that performance wearing black was driving me nuts

Chris is correct; the water in there was always kinda gross, and that’s mostly fine.

The little guy is showing a lot of promise! Bright future ahead.

Should keep your eye on this Messi kid, seems like a special talent
