Political text are I think a great example of how metrics can warp bureaucratic decisions and values. Its why I can be frustrated by a tone deaf text like this (yes, I am ignoring you, also you didn't even get my name right), but the political bureaucracy thinks it's a successful strategy.

"The Emperor is a fan of Flock, and we must continue utilizing Flock technologies so that we can follow and surveil the rebel scum as they move from playground to playground... They are following children in parks and gymnasiums, and we need this. I need this so I can stalk my ex-girlfriend."

Matt Gaetz is at the San Diego LGBT Center. I'm really not sure what to do.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

It is extremely important right now to demonstrate that people who believe in American democracy are not so easily cowed.

I currently study pediatric brain cancer. If NIH policies do not change, neither myself nor the large majority of my colleagues will still be doing so a year from now.

Making effective bikeways is actually really cheap. Doing it the expensive way is for car convenience only. I'm grateful for the Meade Avenue roundabouts, but it would have been much cheaper (maybe 90% cheaper) and much more effective to do modal filters. bikeportland.org/2025/03/03/g...

Guest Opinion: Modal filters are cheaper and work better than speed bumps
It’s time for PBOT to stop spending more for less.

Hell yeah. It's been a while, but one of the major recommendations in a report I wrote was more service. www.circulatesd.org/midcoastreport @circulatesd.bsky.social

Does anyone have a starter pack for a broad variety of people with lots of knowledge about specific niche interests? I'm thinking people @dieworkwear.bsky.social but for like . . . cartography and surrealism and boat building or something.

Showing up every 4 years and asking for your vote is not an effective way to build public trust and involvement, and most people (reasonably) don't want to dedicate endless hours to dry meetings. Building a coalition means offering a real opportunity to connect.

I mostly post about urbanism and politics, but I'm also involved with Glass House Arts, which is about the coolest group of artists I could hope to know (based in Escondido!). Check em out.

I don't think that a cabinet full of TV personalities is a winning strategy. There has to be a lot of conflict with that many egos in the room.
