The main difference I’ve noticed between West Coast NIMBYs and East Coast NIMBYs is that the former will tell you that they’re worried about gentrification, overpopulation and out of control capitalism, and the latter will just say the thing.

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

Tree cover is good, but the real reason LA is so blazing hot is because the law forces buildings to be too low while also forcing roads to be too wide. The good news is that both of these deficiencies are easily fixable!

Bike/pedestrian networks don't take 30 years to build. Stop accepting those timelines in your community. The best practices have been proven & they already exist. Safety should already be the #1 priority. The ROI is unbeatable. The timeline is a moral document and it shouldn't be generational.

Karen Bass's campaign has issued a statement calling the gold-standard Berkeley IGS Poll "another outlier poll" which "got the June primary wrong"

LA Times Issues Another Outlier Poll,
All the Other Data Shows a Close Race Even an outside group supporting Raman
has the race at a statistical tie LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Times has again published an outlier poll, just as they had done in the primary when they got it wrong and undercounted Karen Bass' support while estimating that progressive candidate Rae Huang would get triple the
support she ultimately did. Online-only surveys consistently struggle to recruit voters that represent a true sample of Los Angeles's electorate, systematically undercounting working-class families, seniors, and non-English speaking communities who regularly turn out on
Election Day.
Here's what every other poll in the general election has shown:
Tulchin Research / Neighborhoods for a Better L.A. PolL (August 2026)
• Results: Bass 41%, Raman 35%, Undecided 24%
Estamos con Nithya / Carpenters Union Poll (September 2026).
• Results: Bass 38%, Raman 37%, Undecided 26%
Hart Research Associates Poll / Raman Campaign Internal (September 2026)
• Results: Raman 44%, Bass 39%, Undecided 17%
David Binder Research / Bass Campaign Internal (August 2026).
• Results: Bass 35%, Raman 33%, Undecided 24%
BSP Research / Latino Community_Foundation Poll (September 2026).
• Results: Bass 51% favorable, 30% unfavorable

"One outlier poll which got the June primary wrong isn't reflective of the energy we see when talking to voters every day and what every other poll indicates - this is going to be
a close race," said campaign spokesperson Alex Stack. "Our campaign is continuing to do our job: contrasting Mayor Bass' record of delivering results on housing, public safety, and neighborhood investment with Nithya Raman's out-of-step views on allowing encampments near schools
and failing to show up for her constituents."

Whom likely voters would support
for Los Angeles mayor Among likely voters who have voted or will vote for

10% Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll conducted online May 19-24 in English and Spanish among 1,913 registered voters in Los Angeles, 1,351 of whom were
considered likely to vote in the city's June primary election. Results from the overall registered voter sample have an estimated sampling error of +/- 2.5 percentage points while results from the likely voter sample have an estimated sampling error of +/- 3 points. Funding for the poll was
provided in part by the Los Angeles Times.

Big news! In the latest Berkeley/LA Times poll, we’ve surged ahead of Mayor Bass with an 11 point lead. This poll reflects the momentum we’re seeing on the ground. Angelenos are ready for change and want to see a City That Works.

Just morally bankrupt shit from CA Highway Patrol. They say that "a bicyclist collided with a vehicle," and admonish riders to "follow the rules of the road" and "wear a helmet." The photos show a bike with a tacoed rear wheel and a car with a smashed windshield. Who collied with whom now?

Cities should be paying people to bike. Cities should be buying people e-bikes. Cities should be rewarding people for convincing neighbors to ride bikes. Every trip by bike is a net financial gain socially. And it compounds, the more people who do it.
