BART just set a new post-pandemic record for Saturday ridership! We carried 172,035 trips on Saturday with Embarcadero Station seeing an 80% increase in riders compared to the previous week thanks to the Fleet Week air shows. Thread ⬇️

What’s the evidence on rent control? I charted the findings from 112 studies: Great for rent-controlled tenants ✅ But: Pushes up rents for other people ❌ Pushes down new housing construction ❌ Pushes down building quality ❌

we could solve the western water crisis overnight by simply charging alfalfa farmers market rates for water

Across the basin, alfalfa hay uses more than 5 million acre-feet of Colorado River water — that's 26% of all the water consumed in the basin. One acre-foot roughly equals the annual water use of two or three households.
In the Upper Basin, irrigated agriculture consumes 2.8 million acre-feet, or nearly half the water used by Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, the environment, reservoirs and water exports out of the basin. Cattle-feed crops, like alfalfa, consume 90% of all water used by Upper Basin agriculture.
That means alfalfa uses more water than cities, commercial users and industries across the entire basin:
Collectively, these users consume about 3.5 million acre-feet, or 18%, of the river's water. The Colorado River

Wrong. This is an ag policy problem. Residential water use is a pittance compared to the water resource demands of the cattle industry.

I feel like most polls got pretty close to what his actual performance ended up being. He got some independents to vote for him because a ton of people were pissed off about Bass. There's no evidence he can repeat that performance just wherever, especially while running for POTUS lol

this number seems to come from an analysis done by an AI-powered "hiring innovation" company, measures 7,984 job openings in specific service sectors, and the chosen time period compares the very hot 2022 job market with the slower 2026 job market

Again, it’s also crucially important to note that inflation was basically over & the economy was surging in 2024, when 55% of people thought things were getting worse. They’re <actually> getting worse now. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

The Trump era has been a complete vindication of the middlebrow. Art that is merely a slightly more sophisticated version of mass market media is in fact too complicated for a huge swath of the nation. Go ahead and feel smart for getting the jokes in that HBO comedy.
