Cities are terrific. It's why most people want to live in them.

It's why super broad upzoning eliminates corruption. Developers LOVE Nimbys because they keep all the competitors out of the market. When home building is liberalized, shit starts getting scary.

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!

The language is an absolute mess and, if it passes, a series of disasters in the making. This is not an effective way to stick it to DTE.

#A2Council I finally read the Ann Arbor Proposal E text to create a municipal electric utility board to forcibly acquire DTE's infrastructure in the City. Here is a non-DTE-affiliated group organized by local environmental and political leaders making their case against it: sustainablea2.org

Vote NO on Ann Arbor Proposal E

Join the grassroots effort against Ann Arbor Proposal E today and vote NO on Proposal E on or before November 3rd.

If the Democrats win, they have to be ready to bring generational change. Reform the courts, eliminate the filibuster, expand the house, admit DC and Puerto Rico as states, pass a new voting rights act, and prosecute every single corrupt member of the Trump admin.

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.

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

Rents for new leases of regulated 1-bed and studio apartments in Berkeley ticked down a bit in September '26, sequentially and annually, to a median $2098/month. That is the lowest of any September in a decade. Even in nominal dollars, that's lower than 2019.

Another aspect of the Cornell case and also every sexual assault case that has come up in political work I’ve done: who actually cares about D.A. win ratios? Voters don’t. They do care about whether they see a D.A. fighting for what they think is important, even if they lose

I don't think this will ever happen as long as the Senate stays the same. 18 states get no HSR service at all; most of them are red states. A small number of Americans would block this investment, even though a huge majority of Americans would benefit. And I don't think we do this without the Feds.

"Farmer" comes from Latin "firmus," signature or contract. As in "tax farmer" or "farming out a task." That's the actual meaning of farmer; it 100% means wealthy landlords, not the people who do the work.

C'mon man. Do better. This chart is misleading. Total private construction for 12/23 was $1,573B. Data centers was $1.9B. So the growth in data center and decline in all others, all others is still over 200X larger. The decline in all others is 1% and within normal fluctuations.

One funny thing is how the 60s through the 80s were mythologized largely by people who lived through those eras, but the media currently mythologizing the 90s seems to be made largely by people born afterward, so all the details are slightly off in an unsettling way

One of my most galaxy-brained takes is that politicians and political groups should talk more about workers’ share of national income. It's one of the clearest, simplest ways to describe how billionaires and corporate elites captured so much of the economy--and something policy can change.

U.S. workers' share of national income falls to a new low

Labor's bargaining position has worsened markedly in the last half-decade.

Should we talk about what "inherently harmful" means today? No, we absolutely should not. It's likely to devolve into useless pedantry. However, we can talk about why people think labeling something as "inherently harmful" is a useful thing to do.

Why do these folks feel that fear is more useful than thoughtful consideration in this moment? I'm not entirely sure. I have some thoughts, but they're not fully baked yet. The fact is I need to ask more of those people and see if they'll give me an honest answer.

It's ok to feel tired & overwhelmed It's good to take breaks Can't do all the things all the time, "some of the things some of the time" is fine! Collective action is a relay race What it is NOT is "get paralyzed & indulge in doomerism, surely that will convince someone else to fix it."

This is exactly why privacy advocates have pushed back against age verification measures. These companies are reckless with their data and it can easily be compromised. It can leave people vulnerable to identity theft, doxing, and targeted harassment.

IME presence or absence of dedicated cycling infrastructure is not a factor in whether someone decides to wield their deadly machine dangerously because they’re feeling entitled and impatient. Also, we shouldn’t make policy decisions by giving in to a abuser logic, which is what you’re describing.
