The Alaskan Way bike lane between Blanchard and Wall is a confusing mess. Many drivers are using the bike lane to pickup, drop off, turn around, and park. @seattledot.bsky.social how to we make this intuitive for drivers and safe for people rolling?

I don't think we need to guillotine billionaires. You can just tax them into millionaires For the Trump administration, on the other hand, guillotines are the moderate solution bsky.app/profile/pika...

The core problem is that literally 50% of the water is diverted to make comically tiny profits of, like, a few hundred million dollars, so trillions of actual economic activity gets held hostage by some clown who bought land in 1872. Put a market price on water and the problem is instantly fixed.

Gas tax holidays are a dumb idea that demonstrate a lack of understanding of basic economics. Oil prices are currently high because supply has been reduced. Over the medium to long term the way that this works - necessarily - is that prices rise until consumption drops enough to match supply.

Americans drive a lot more than people in other rich countries. If we didn’t drive so much, we wouldn’t die in so many crashes. It’s a simple point, but one that NHTSA, traffic engineers, and many road safety org’s have yet to learn. Me, in Bloomberg 🧵

Oh Intel, your unwanted background processes that sometimes crash during system shutdown are so wonderful :-) Also, can we get Intel on bsky so that I can report these bugs more easily?

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration: Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure. Its a horrifying escalation.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

We need to do something about income inequality so that working and middle-class people no longer depend on increasing home equity to keep them afloat. It's a toxic situation. The primary purpose of homes should be to live in, and they should be cheap and plentiful.

I've spent years fighting for homes and a more affordable, equitable Vancouver. Now I want to take that fight to City Hall as your councillor. Go to www.PeterForCouncil.ca and join OneCity so you can support Peter For Council and help me get on the ballot! youtu.be/-d7WFFoqb0c

Surprisingly, comments insisted dirty snow is just road sand/gravel. Like people are in denial that cars pollute. It’s clearly more than that. Those are also used on sidewalks and bike lanes, which don’t look nearly as bad as the roads. There are actual studies testing tailpipe pollutants, etc.!

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Montreal buses sure do fly on weekends without traffic to slow them down. Wouldn’t it be cool to have more bus lanes, signal priority, and stop consolidation to reach these speeds on weekdays too?

The increasing number of billionaires in every new release of the Epstein files are another reminder that billionaires shouldn't exist because they're immoral, exploitative hoarders and the world would be better if we abolished every one of them. Billionaires: the only minority destroying humanity.

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

I keep noticing my laptop's fan running when it is idle and Task Manager always shows practically nothing running. But cumulative CPU time shows a different story:

While using my credit card to rent a car I ran into this cursed PIN entry screen. Do you see the problem?

we're wasting massive opportunities to pivot to these things just like we have for the last 30 years. bsky.app/profile/holz...

The benefits of removing some cars from the road has a massive spillover effect, and people are not going to drive to an edge neighborhood to park somewhere there isn't really any parking anyway. Expand the zone. Up the charge. bsky.app/profile/davi...

The degree to which Trump has corrupted the department of justice in a single year in office is terrifying.

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened

Sectigo sent me four emails this morning warning me that code signing certificate validity is dropping from 3 years to 15 months and offering to renew mine before the change on March 1st. It looks like their code signing certificates are $571/year which is... a lot! Multi-year discounts help, but

Yet another pedestrian killed by the driver of an oversized pickup. It's time to regulate the size of large pickups and SUVs before they kill more of our neighbours. Vehicles this size offer no practical utility over smaller counterparts. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

This statement is worth 5000 prayers and sermons combined. Thank you, Chaplain Moberg. ❤️‍🔥

I've shared on here before, why more cops do not and cannot reduce the murder rate in US cities. I've shared that criminal justice reformers have known what does work, and has worked in dozens of US cities. It's now driving record low homicide in Chicago and Baltimore♥️🕊️ Now let's talk cop killings

Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district. I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them. ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

👴🏻"Don't come here illegally and there won't be a problem! Come here legally and you'll be fine!" 👩🏼"But they did come here legally, and they got jobs, paid taxes, didn't commit any crimes. But then their status was taken away anyway, for no reason other than to be cruel and racist.🤷🏼‍♀️" 👴🏻"Trump 2028!"

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer. The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem. Abolish ICE.

Google: AI will take over the world Also Google: I know you're in Mexico, 3,000 km from Vancouver, and have never shown interest in the Canucks, and have said "Not interested" to Canucks stories three times this week, but are you really _sure_ you don't want to see the latest scores?

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

I am currently on an extended vacation in Mexico. I'm in a small walkable town so I don't have a car. This is good. However I would sometimes like to be able to travel to the far edge of town (a kilometer or so) faster, so today I bought a used bike for $65.

4.5 years ago I blogged that in the WPA Handles view "In addition to having the [Lifetime] column off by default they actually hide it!", but that's okay because "I reported these problems to the WPA lead and they agreed that improvements were needed." Nothing has changed.

US federal forces blind two protesters shot in face with ‘less-lethal’ munitions

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.
