Hahahahahahaha… CA had some of the worst commute times in the country. They are a sprawl industrial complex. So so so many communities are like, “I don’t care if my kid’s teachers can live where they teach, they can drive ‘til they qualify” These are very common conversations in CA land use.

Lula Goes HARD

The college industrial complex in a nutshell. “The transactional nature of corporate education facilitates this. The students are paying for a degree, not to learn. The pedagogical experience doesn’t matter, so long as the qualifications being sold are eventually delivered”

That is a freaking beaut of a photograph… composition, lighting, mood! I always love it when her stuff pops up.

If you can, please drop off. Don’t mail ballots. The USPS is doing everything it can to not deliver ballots, slow roll delivery, etc.

American misogyny includes massive amounts of punishment for daring to participate in politics/thought leader-ing.

What's that you say? A UK study aimed at proving that ADHD and autism are over-diagnosed actually found that we are still under-diagnosing both, and lack access to assessments remains a huge barrier to support? What a shocking and unexpected conclusion! www.politicsuk.com/p/fonagy-rev...

But DOES NOT lead the way in adding housing, in adding affordable housing, in stopping sprawl, in encouraging density, in providing tools for economic development in rural/smaller cities, etc. One of the largest economies in the world and their big climate achievement is to preserve Carmerica + EVs.

Okay, two episodes in to latest Bake Off and so much joy and tears and just all the feels about how lovely human beings can be with/to each other even though they are dropped into a stressful situation as complete strangers. Still adore this show.

Well clearly enough Iowans are not riding Harleys because HD is experiencing declining sales and closing dealerships. I’m sure bicycling is the reason why!?! (How in God’s name did totally innocuous, lovely people rolling on a bike become the boogeyman for both the right AND moderate Dems?)

Yeah, once you get closer to the top of that pyramid, you want that VP parking space with a sign at the company where you don’t allow remote work because you want your status reinforced with endless IRL interactions with underlings. Is this human nature? Is it preventable? Ugh.

Senior Dems are so stressed about the state of the world and the defcon 1 online emergency spam machine is a) amping up the stress; and, b) predating seniors to squeeze money out of them they often don’t have. You can’t opt out, you can’t send to spam, you can’t unsubscribe. None of it works.

So depressing that we removed all this capacity.

funnily enough, the Oklahoma chapter of the National Fire Sprinkler Association (NFSA) was one of the proponents for the single-stair code proposal in OK. You know who supported efforts to waterdown Seattle’s single-stair provisions 40 years ago? The NFSA.

Water turns to ice in a precise molecular dance, and that open hexagonal structure makes ice about 9% less dense, which is why lakes freeze from the top down.

A trans woman was washing her hands when I entered the bathroom at the airport. On my flight, someone asked to trade his aisle seat for any seat. I was seated in the middle & volunteered. I discovered that I was seated next to the trans woman. She worked for Cray as a supercomputing consultant

Voted early yesterday… went to City Hall and fed that ballot directly into the reader. Leaving NOTHING to chance.

In 2009 ish, wrote a blog post about Hungarian food in Buenos Aires that a friend found when Google searching that particular Hungarian food — that shit doesn’t happen anymore.

This is maddening and breaks the visibility compact every ground floor space should have with the sidewalk.

Best Bike City in North America.

Sadly, it happens way more than it should.

Government and the billionaires currently pulling the puppet strings of government.

Hahahahaha… just peak awfulness.

So what’s the CA state DOT multiplier here for what it will ACTUALLY cost and how long it will take?

She’s killing it!

Bringing the crazy eyes tho!

LOVE this tiny deliciousness.

Gorgeous!

Sad to see this piece today. I first went to Svalbard almost nine years ago and reported for WaPo on the speed of climate change there, and how many aspects of daily life were already changing in profound ways due to it. And now, here's another.

Driving/drivers are unhinged and scary AF these days. And it’s Carmerica, so almost nowhere to get away from it.

It’s really weird to hear all of this talk from ICC insiders about how code must be developed through the ICC process, and then ALSO hear them casting aspersions on me for making a formal ICC proposal without workshopping it informally with insiders first

The La Salle Hotel?! It had two stairs! It was also 22 stories tall and had 1,172 guest rooms. This is what chairs of important ICC committees (not randos!) think is in the same universe as a small apartment building.

Often it takes just one city traffic engineer to stop these one way to two way conversions. Motordom’s shills — it’s all about moving freight through downtown. Hahahahaha. Also, never forget rogue agency #OregonDOT, in the pockets of the freight lobby, ruined OR small downtowns with 1-way couplets.

💜💛💗❤️💕♥️ I make a streusel topped version, but your icing is very tempting!!!!

This is a huge problem. Seniors are inundated constantly. There is no safe place for them via text, calls, or Web. All three are trying to scam 24/7. My parents get calls from grandkids who have been in an accident, targeted with phishing emails/texts, and tricked into clicking spyware ads. Awful.

Lake Superior dusk. #Duluth

Onion aptly pointing out that we have full on legalized corporate looting in America!

Nailed it!

Unsafe food supply = unsafe country

Undoing the damage of these two years, even in blue states, is going to take for fucking ever. This is astonishing and a$$ backward from the transit interconnected places that are roll and stroll friendly we need for climate response. Gavin appears to be useless, as usual.

My husband called summers for himself “minivan camp” because with even just two young kids he felt like he spent the whole summer in a minivan going to/from some sort of activity.!

The lies the rich and powerful are allowed to state are absolutely unbelievable. #muskbullshit. Such a bald-faced liar. No flying car. Let me repeat that. No Tesla flying car.

No noise????? Did you not listen with sound? Deafening.

So Netflix Head of Content Bela Bajaria, Head of Indie Film Sheroum Kim and now Head of Film overall Dan Lin are all out in this wave of executive “layoffs.” The three most powerful Asian Americans at Netflix and across Hollywood in general.

I always thought it was weird how much side eye I would get for my kids just being cute joyous kids in rando public or third places in Portland, but if someone was in same place with an insane, out of control dog, no one batted an eye.
