Here’s how this played out in Long Beach, where the grocery workers union prevailed with the punitive self-checkout rules they’ve been pushing around the country: “Of 13 stores included in a city survey, 10 said that they had closed down some or all of their self-check out kiosks.”

California's legislature continues to iterate on ADU laws and you will now be able to add 4-5 new units to an existing single family home (assuming you have enough space): openscopestudio.com/ab-956-two-d...

“A future with less agricultural land but more organic farming would only be possible with widespread shifts to more plant-based, less land-hungry diets and large reductions in food waste” (They finally get there in the last paragraph) ourworldindata.org/is-organic-f...

ourworldindata.org

Is organic farming better for the environment than conventional farming?

Organic farming often wins when we compare impacts on one unit of land, but there is no clear winner when we look at impacts per unit of food production.

You also are not going to get as much growing medium on a bus stop roof unless you are engineering it for the extra weight. I think it's all possible but the question is "why" if the alternative is adding street trees

On the topic of ineffective altruism, it's easy to make fun of EA, but *this* is the current state of the art in philanthropy. "Resilient Cities Catalyst" is a Rockefeller Foundation production and lists a bunch of huge corporations and foundations as "partners" (donors?) www.rcc.city/our-partners

Check out the QTs – just falling over themselves to applaud him for this idiocy (which isn’t his administration’s initiative or even the city’s, it’s some ineffective altruism nonprofit’s). He’s got a mandate to do whatever he wants. So what does he want to do?

On Sept. 11, Pete Hegseth defended the Iran war and declared: “The Lord trains our arms for war and our hands for battle.” Pope Leo XIV’s message bears repeating: Jesus “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them.”

“Your Hands Are Full of Blood” — Pope Leo XIV’s Palm Sunday Message to Warmakers

On the first day of Holy Week, the pope invoked Isaiah to declare that God rejects the prayers of those who wage war — with the U.S.-Israeli bombing of Iran entering its second month.

OpenGov is supposed to consolidate the city’s disparate permitting systems. City workers keep using the old system.

A window into the havoc AI will cause: authors are getting regular AI-generated emails that look like invites to festivals, reading groups etc all to help boost sales/publicity. Often impersonating real industry people. It's such a niche phishing campaign + a demographic that famously HAS NO MONEY.
