It costs a lot of money to rebuild roads. It doesn’t cost that much to ticket speeders

“The speed limit is too low” my ass Speed limits should not be set according to driver behavior. In fact, it’s the exact opposite that would save countless lives. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Crisis PR, man. This summer I got a pitch from a firm asking if I wanted to interview a crisis PR person on how he’d handle Balogun red card fallout Sold it with “he managed crises for Penn State after Sandusky scandal.” Like no I don’t want to talk to the fucking guy who spun the Sandusky scandal

I have so many videos of drivers trying to kill me, that when I show myself riding on right and some tells me to take the lane, (or vice versa!), I already have a video of a driver almost hitting on the same exact block doing whatever the commenter said I should have been doing.

And instead of following thru with their Climate Action plan centered around reducing the city's largest source of GHGs: single occupancy vehicles, they fired the main engineer in charge of active transportation and letting public transit hit a funding crisis, raising fares and cutting service

LA's tax on property sales over $5.4M raised $1.2B by early 2026, less than half the projected $2.7B. RAND finds large apartment production fell about 30% after it began, or roughly 9,100 fewer homes. www.realtor.com/news/trends/...

It's fascinating to learn how many more kids die in ATV accidents every year than in e-bike accidents, then observing that there is a moral panic about kids riding e-bikes but not about kids riding ATVs.

They justify this reasoning with the belief that famous and powerful don’t need journalists when in fact glowing profiles in Vanity Fair or Time (as Jeremy points out) are like, *all* they want. They want to be famous *and* well-liked! Don’t just give them that if they haven’t earned it

Jake Gotta @jakegotta.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
There are journalists who know their job is to hold famous & powerful people accountable, and there are “journalists” who are simply elated that they get to “hang out” with famous and powerful people (and who would never jeopardize their “way in” by holding them accountable)

A lot of people like sprawl. While we should not subsidize it like we do today, I believe that people should be allowed to have what they want and are willing to pay for. (Most people won’t be willing to pay the actual cost of insuring a house in the woods in the time of climate change wildfires.)

Everybody's loving this clip, for good reason, but it should remind everyone that cities therefore have an obligation to build enough housing that all these marginalized and outcast people can come and afford to live in them on minimum wage *without* becoming homeless. YIMBY!

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)
