Tremendous thanks for all this.

Some more detail on qualifying BRT stops is welcome. And does planned BRT follow same scheme as planned rail? Wasn’t entirely clear to me in article, sorry if I missed.

Has San Diego maybe been less bad re corridor zoning? Any idea?

Mike Eliason @holz-bau.bsky.social · Apr 23

my hot take:

corridors are bad.

bad for neighborhoods. bad for buildings. bad for community. bad for public health. bad for climate.

the fewer corridors your city and the housing within it have - the better.

Mike Eliason @holz-bau.bsky.social · Apr 23

i'd also say corridor separation *and* pressurized stair is a hurdle.

in germany (and i think switzerland too) pressurization here just means basically an exhaust fan at the top of stairwell.

it allows for more communicative & daylit stair, like this. stunning.

This is true and, well, I don’t understand the confident focus on RTOR.

Safe Kjipuktuk @safehrm.bsky.social · 1d

another less-famed North American danger is combining pedestrians with turns on a green light (both right and left), accounting for many multiple more pedestrian crashes than RTOR

Harris was a pivot to the right? I don't recall the corporate Dems who hated full employment and a revived NLRB having much enthusiasm for Harris, catastrophically.

Boba is full of lead.

Tapioca/cassava is also a MAJOR ingredient in tons of foods, especially gluten free products.

Lead found in all bubble tea samples tested by Consumer Reports

New safety tests reveal that bubble tea, a popular drink, contains lead. Consumer Reports recommends enjoying it only occasionally due to health risks.

if we could acculturate to <200mi range batteries, we'd solve tires and cost too. Thanks Tesla!

I agree that it’s deontologically bad to be a jerk to an LLM, but I also want them to stop pretending to be human. I don’t even like it when the credit card machine at the parking lot tells me to have a nice day. Let’s keep this professional, huh?

It wasn't a major theme for you in the piece, but I do think it's important. Most people were materially better off (their wages could buy more stuff) in 2024 than in 2019. Yet in 2019, the standard line was the economy is strong, in 2024 the line was "people are hurting."

Anat Shenker-Osorio @anatosaurus.bsky.social · 7d

Thanks! Genuine question, if I may. I feel like I only address perception of and messaging about the economy in this piece (and not much at that.) I don't real talk about "the economy" outside that. What do you find inaccurate?
