These people missed some key lessons from the Bible

The bizarre media narrative that Dems must choose between anti-Trump and affordability politics reflects a broad reluctance to accept that Trump is really unpopular. The way forward is a fusion of the two. They are often one and the same. 8/ (h/t @jamellebouie.net) newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Planting street trees is the cheapest way I can think of to improve quality of life in cities and San Francisco is moving in the wrong direction. People love citing "ADA" for all sorts of bogus reasons and this is a prime example share.google/zEnGVcsFtEhq... Via @streetsblogsf.bsky.social

Incidentally, one of the greatest collections dwarf conifers in the horticultural trade were introduced by Sidney Waxman, a professor at UConn who used to drive around New England shooting witches brooms off trees with a .22 rifle.

These are men who have to prove their machismo by arresting daycare workers and tear gassing toddlers

This is city planner @lindseyboylan.bsky.social. She was the 1st whistleblower to bravely come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Andrew Cuomo. 12 others joined her. Cuomo resigned as Governor. His “comeback” never should have been enabled. She earned this moment more than most.

they hate winning so much

This is one of the dumbest headlines I've seen from them in a while!

in q&a, the kelsey's allie cannington mentions they are excited about single stair and elevator reform - and mention how it can help get elevators into smaller projects. wow. cc @edmendoza.bsky.social @stephenjacobsmith.com @markasaurus.bsky.social thekelsey.org/learn-center...

The AIA was founded around one simple goal: to ensure that America’s most important civic buildings were designed by men who had travelled to Italy and not, for the love of god, by anyone born there.

A moon phase watch is not something I'd normally be interested in but these are so incredibly well done from Farer, especially the gold one share.google/0vwr3d7mjgT2...

This seems like a good time to start watching the World Series

"that weed plant really looks like a carrot" and then

Take your weekly expense and multiply it by 752 to get a 10-year compounded value. So avoiding the most egregious avocado toast, at $20 per, would net you a savings of $15k. To get a downpayment of $120k, you need to do this for 80 years.

I have a lot of questions but why would you put in that cheap lighting fixture and a white drop in tub

MAGA despises American life. What they love is American power.

Your laundry list of popular policy proposals you run on should be 1) simple, easy to understand, 2) connect back to a larger values-based theme of your candidacy 3) concrete and tangible and 4) repeated endlessly until voters are sick of hearing them

the contrast between “we audited the White House logs and a Parkinson’s doctor visited the Biden White House” and “Trump says his health is perfect and he is healthy enough to be dictator for life!” is crazy

not to platnerpost but: I am convinced that the really moveable swing vote in the united states is not "centrists" but people with a constellation of more radical, shifting, and often kind of incoherent anti-establishment sentiments...

MechaHitler now fully in charge on X. I wonder if this will cause any self-reflection among the pundits & journis still hanging out there.

I can’t believe there are not one but two articles, in major papers, with this dumb framing. It is not NIMBY to express dismay when a big part of the White House is suddenly rubbled

Going to start telling suburban truck guys that my culture is not your costume Conversely it is pretty funny to show up to the farmer functions in my Ford Fusion

(Frankly, the anti-FAR urbanists don't always understand the zoning implications of what they're doing either in the exact same way!)

Trump: To touch Confederate monuments is to launch an attack on our collective history. Also Trump: I unilaterally decided to destroy a third of the White House because I see Americans’ treasures as my own. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Updating my LEGO White House

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

I have been in san francisco for 24 hours and it has never been more clear that the purpose of most tech companies is to solve the problems incurred by tech people that is, the problem of living in sam francisco

One of those 90s nostalgia farming accounts only it just posts the same “Beef, it’s what’s for dinner.” ad every time.

I actually think the percentage of vertical farming entrepreneurs who have also tried mining bitcoin is probably like 70%

If you SF assholes demolish this, I'm going to come fight you (if @markasaurus.bsky.social lets me work remote at his office)

I had never heard of the original version of this watch- a digital multifunction watch with a rotating bezel that became popular with astronauts because they could operate it in a spacesuit! www.hodinkee.com/articles/sei...

I have an M1 iPad pro and it still seems plenty fast so it's hard to make the case for upgrading to an M5 for enhanced AI performance or something?? share.google/O00sNlgaNnLZ...

This disparity does not seem surmountable: “American ships can cost up to five times the amount of those built in Asia. So far this year, China has made 717 large commercial vessels; the United States just one, according to BRS.”

Today happened to be our Marine Mammal Protection Act lecture in Environmental Law, so I revisited case law / key issues. There are at least three major industries that benefit from undermining the MMPA: commercial fishing and seafood, maritime transport and shipping, and the oil and gas industries.

We need to stop pairing unrelated infrastructure upgrades with transit projects because everyone blames the transit project for construction even though 90% of the work is for a sewer replacement and then it makes future transit projects harder share.google/dr9blW4oQuZ3...

Also apparent in Mike Johnson’s comment that Lee Greenwood should be performing at the Super Bowl instead of Bad Bunny. They think they can make us like Lee Greenwood

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Trump just used the shutdown to wipe out the special ed department. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

If you insist on ending tie games earlier the following are all better ideas than the free runner on second: - ending game in tie after 12 - runners left on base return for next inning - teams have to pull a fielder every inning after 10 or 12

well, it happened

“God has a special place in his heart for those who are discriminated against and oppressed, and he asks us, his church, to make a decisive and radical choice in favor of the weakest,” Leo writes.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.
