It feels like a relatively small building to be the second highest taxed

It comes to mind that the biggest honor in these guys' profession is to get a personal parking spot outside of their office.

I didn't notice the sound. I thought I had tripped a breaker but then I looked down and was confused that my saw blade was missing.

Whelp Chekov's table saw finally struck. Wasn't a finger activation. I was making a high angle miter cut (78 degrees) and I knew I needed to stop the cut before the blade contacted the back of the miter gauge... But alas. The miter gauge is barely scratched. #woodworking @sawstop.bsky.social

Move over zucchini lady, this guy calling 'bike lanes white lanes' and calling the Terner Center the 'Gentrification Center' is my new favorite Berkeley Council moment. #berkmtg

My weird political take is that the death of the direct to consumer startup trend led to the surge of manosphere and maha podcasting. It used to be that anyone with a mic could get sponsored by Casper mattresses. Now all of the podcasting money is in right wing supplements/mlm/other scams.

I just did my first childless flight since becoming a dad and holy shit, the weightless feeling as I floated through the airport with everything I needed in just a briefcase and no stroller or car seat to worry about. It was incredible.

Legolas and Gimli meme. The captions on the three panels read:

Legolas: "Qu’en est-il côte à côte avec un ami?"
Gimli: "What?"

People don't live in linkedin blog posts. They live in homes. We should be those.

Theo Gordon @theogordon.bsky.social · 16/01/2026
And the homeless are not a card I'm playing. They are real people who desperately need homes and I care about their concerns a hell of a lot more than some dude's aesthetic preferences or magical thinking about how a city can be designed.

Theo Gordon @theogordon.bsky.social · 16/01/2026
No, you really don't. You have an option on the table, build these units or not. This is real and tangible and will get people off the streets. You can also work on more systemic issues and solutions but saying that you won't build anything now until you fix everything else is BS.

This reads like a lot of pablum that boils down 'i support housing only if it matches my exact aesthetics and those preferences are more important than actually making sure that everyone has a home.'

We need to repeal prop 13 to fix our funding. In the meantime, we should build all the subsidized housing we can and we should do it as efficiently as possible. This is subsidized housing, you should support it.

It's housing for the unhoused. What more of an explanation do you want?

Theo Gordon @theogordon.bsky.social · 16/01/2026
Saying that we'll only build housing after the socialist revolution is a very great way to oppose any new housing in your neighborhood while still sounding progressive. But at the end of the day, you're just opposing housing.
