you're clearly online enough to be aware of or at least easily verify that it's common form of response to misspellings by absolutely anyone, so I decline to take your sanctimony seriously and instead will urge you to get a life

this is absolute ass qualify journalism, how does he not realize his correction undermines his thesis in the following sentence? how is the market "ballooning" if issuance was higher in 2011 on an inflation-adjusted basis? if you crudely annualize Q1-3 2026 you only get $404B, or 23% higher.

lol, why did he block everyone but one reader pointing out the error then??

hi Ed, can you explain why you blocked this poster replying with a fairly mundane technical critique? I'd have a hard time taking your reporting seriously if you can't respond to factual criticism, curious if I misread this somehow. thanks for your time

Berkeley should elect this Ross Bernet guy to the District 1 city council seat, the dude clearly knows algebra www.berkeleyscanner.com/2026/09/24/e...

once I focused on the criteria of "unlike anything I'd ever heard before, permanently rocked my world" instead of just "shit I still listen to on repeat" this became a more interesting challenge (see also: why I had few friends and was unpopular in school)

this is literally how the mind of a child thinks. we don't need to pretend these people "actually mean well" or have "good ideals" but for a bit of misunderstandings. we don't need a "Left" marred by people who never matured beyond middle school. no social movement comes out of dumb shit like this.

you have no idea what you're talking about and you're valorizing ignorance in a post hoc defense of a vibes-based position you stumbled into by posting. the author of that same paper (which cites real world studies) wrote an 800 page book with even more data. shoup.bol.ucla.edu/PrefaceHighC...

no one needs opinions on economics from people who have never heard of price elasticity, that is what school is for

the scale of subsidy taken for granted is just huge, it shocks me every time I look it up. www.cbo.gov/publication/... I would looove to have a culture war about loud noise without footing this hidden cost. I would be annoying as hell and get banished from Berkeley in an instant

I have to believe most of these addictions can be broken by making cars prohibitively expensive and normalizing carrying speakers on literally any other kind of vehicle (I realize I'm not the modal urbanist here but I'm partial to the West Bengal motorcycle DJs)

interesting how people who believe in "overpopulation" (aka crunchy granola eugenics) always turn out to be super racist. I'm sure it's just a coincidence!

obviously this trend is driven primarily but not entirely by the abysmal drop in reliability of line 1T, the highest-ridership route. here's the same regression with 1T removed: in conclusion, I am concerned about @rideact.bsky.social operations

according to AC Transit's own service reliability report and ridership data (not super clear whether the averages are annual or monthly, but the latter numbers are here public.tableau.com/app/profile/...) ... slight negative correlation between service reliability Δ% and ridership this year 😬

if you wanna blame someone for "apathy" of their entire generation, you could do a loooot worse than a guy who is (a) a former journalist, (b) who is studying to go into government auditing, (c) votes in every election, and (d) is a Latino who can read a fucking chart. morons
