I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

“Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was ‘Oh no, not again.’”

Hell yeah let’s gooooooo

So grateful to @marisakabas.bsky.social, @kattenbarge.bsky.social, and @katelynburns.com for launching this with us. This works for all journalists who publish on Ghost and Beehiiv. If you’re a journalist and keen to get early access, hop in my DMs.

My Giants? They might be.

Some real beginners luck here, I expect this one of the few routes I could do in 1 Routle - TriMet 03/04/2026 🟩 ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ www.routle.city/trimet

Today is the third time Elon Musk has bought Twitter in four years.

omg @lillywachowski.bsky.social

Brb calling the shitty AI boosters sloptimists.

Nobody. I do not think you can eat chair

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Some random programmer: gets hired, fixes their pet bug, and then quits. @drmitchpdx.bsky.social: “hold my hot dog”

I'm sorry but this whole thing makes me feel insane. Let's just be real: we stole basic independence from generations of kids and teenagers by intentionally making our cities deadly + impossible to travel outside a car, and now corporations are selling a worse version of it back to them at a price.

Especially since unlike the very public spectacle we got with grok, this could happen without much public awareness.

biggest thing that stands out to me from the oregon transportation bill debacle: HB 2025 was a serious effort to charge road users the full cost of road maintenance, and it collapsed under its own weight. vindication of the @strongtowns.org view of america’s unsustainably overbuilt infrastructure

In all the coverage of P4A since its implementation, I’ve been surprised to see very little about the families who benefit from the program. Now, they’re speaking out (along with county commissioners and other advocates).

just as all biological evolution converges on the form of a crab, all cope ultimately converges on the form of "Elon went crazy on me"

Big “great hack week project, now when can we ship it” energy here

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Autopia but e-bikes

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie. The Tensor

The savvy will scoff, but I am completely serious about this. Congressional Dems should introduce a constitutional amendment to limit the pardon power and force votes on it whenever they can. Dem presidential wannabes should endorse the idea. Blue states should signal support.

Concept sketch just dropped

My favorite fact about the NYC subway is that there are way more daily riders (about 4 million) than the number of people who fly in the US out of all airports every day (~2.5 million). The scale is hard to get a grasp on.

From todays’s extra edition of “We’re Here”:

118 people ran for Portland office this year as city govt undergoes sweeping change. Crazy civic experiment by US standards? Yes. An historic local election? Most definitely. Also: Pretty f'ing cool, if you ask me. Can't wait to see how it unfolds & what happens next. 🤠

One of the more surreal parts of working at Twitter during the 6 month purchase process was regularly trying to divine our future from all of his tweets. Apropos of nothing whatsoever, this was an extremely satisfying watch youtu.be/3u8_fp1TtJE?...

Unconscionable that in this new ranked choice era not a single Portland publication thought to publish their city council endorsements as a tier list.
