My last class in our gorgeous mass timber classroom, part of an ambitious adaptive reuse project. 🥲 looking forward to a great summer break learning about buildings, sustainability, and housing

look if the kids want to get into physical media i support their decision but this is not what cd players looked like. the faux retro industrial space sci fi aesthetic didn't exist in consumer electronics at the time. we are lying to them

The sheer fact that the entire executive line of succession was in one room for a ‘public’ event is madness considering we are actually at war. A war we started by launching a surprise decapitation strike against what has proven to be a resilient enemy with vast expertise in asymmetric warfare.

Actually a good set of points.

Illinois has had 100 tornadoes in 2026. This isn't normal. (Tornadoes here are normal, but not in this number. We typically average in the 50s.)

When I’m too drunk to remember the word “ravioli.”

Wow, I have never seen this many electric Cadillacs or parking tickets in downtown Detroit

@mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social sighting in downtown Detroit!

BRENNAN: The shooter had multiple weapons. You said he traveled from CA across the country by train. How did he do that? BLANCHE: This isn't about making laws more restrictive BRENNAN: I'm asking about crossing state lines w/firearms BLANCHE: I don't think that's something we should be focused on

daughter just reverse engineered a grilled cheese by asking if I could make her a quesadilla with bread

Northeast conversations: "we're building thermal energy networks to eliminate fossil fuel dependencies" Midwest conversations: "we're trying to make it illegal to build more energy efficient housing and we're trying to force people into eternal fossil fuel dependency" 🤔

🤷🏼

Left: Erika Kirk, "Europe has surrendered itself to third world criminals. Under Biden we on track for that ourselves, but President Trump came in and course corrected" Right: Erika Kirk, "I just want to go home" after a gunman fired shots at the White House Correspondents Dinner attended by Trump

I don’t think the political party that’s spent 30 years telling us ‘actually everyone should have guns, no restrictions ’ should try and pin the blame for political violence on the party that’s been saying ‘more guns is bad and we should have some common sense limits’ for 30 years.

i’m dying 💀

My 5yo came home from school yesterday and declared that her favorite dinosaur is, and I quote, “the falafel raptor”

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

Builders: we don't need to abandon mechanically fastened WRB in favor of adhesive or fluid applied, we have WRB at home The WRB at home:

Managed to lose my glasses between bed and the bathroom, which is in my bedroom. Please clap.

What the fuck are we doing here

Is there someone dead in the lobby or is there someone in custody? Was the person armed or not? Did he make it into the ballroom or not? Usually there should be a pretty wide grace period on finding this out, but there are literally hundreds of reporters in the room and nobody knows shit.

🤔

Who was the shooter at the WHCA dinner? A.) another fake assassination attempt B.) a MAGA reporter hoping to increase ratings C.) a Republican’s gun accidentally went off D.) a trans windmill

BREAKING: nothing happened (please mourn) www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

You can show this to your racist uncle who gives you the "gotcha" declaration that Trump has magnanimously agreed to forgo the executive salary. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...

"We adopted this very clever infill overlay district, because our zoning code didn't allow infill development." I'm sorry, I'm a doofus, but why wouldn't you just ... fix the base zoning code? Am I missing something? #NPC26

Just spent an hour wandering the #NPC26 exhibit hall with @nzorach.bsky.social who I had never met in person before. Sometimes technology is worth it.

Me: can we have protected bike lanes The city of Detroit: we have protected bike lanes at home The protected bike lanes at home:

First day of the National Planning Conference in Detroit and the first three local planners I asked said they weren't attending because 1) too expensive and 2) no professional development money. The state of things, folks! But it's gonna be a good time.

A whopping 14 paragraphs into this piece: "Trump Jr., meanwhile, is an investor in Polymarket and a strategic adviser to Kalshi, its top competitor. A representative for Trump Jr. last month said he was not involved in any discussions the government might have with the companies."

They need a voice-to-text that can correct for my (occasional, hereditary) southern vowel shift. It's "when," Siri, not "win."

shoutout to the student who asked for suggestions on Christian affinity groups on campus and, when someone suggested Intervarsity, said, "sorry, I don't play sports"

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

god this guy rules

It was gorgeous today but let's also not act like 79 degrees in April is normal for mid-Michigan.

It's illegal not to say "big stretch" after your pet does a big stretch. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

hard to believe this guy couldn't win a statewide election

Mayor Zohran Mamdani mentioned Citadel CEO Ken Griffin by name while announcing a new tax on expensive second homes in New York City for non-residents.

Great news 🇪🇺🇺🇦 Today the European Council approved a €90 Billion loan to Ukraine (to be repaid from Russian war reparations) and a 20th package of economic sanctions on Russia. This decision sends a clear message to the Putin regime that it cannot outlast Europe's support for Ukraine. 🧵(1/3)

it’s good that california & virginia ratified their counter-gerrymanders through referendum, but instead of saying “until the next decadal redistricting” they should’ve been permanent trigger laws that revert to independent commissions once a national gerrymandering ban was in place.

Folks, if you post an AI picture, I'm not gonna block you, because I'm not a Luddite, nor do I demand ideological purity. But if you post AI and pass it off as real when you know it's definitely NOT, then that's definitely deserving of a critical response.

Discourse in 2016: be careful what you post on LinkedIn, saying "black lives matter" is very incendiary and controversial! Candidates for federal jobs in 2026: demons are possessing people and must be driven out by the holy spirit. cure autism using this poultice of herbs sold from an 800 number.

I'm finally registered for the planning conference in Detroit. Looking forward to connecting with fellow planning nerds on my home turf for once and celebrating the 100th year anniversary of Euclid v. Ambler (lol jk can you imagine)
