Sacramento YIMBYs: We will be gathering at Der Biergarten on K Street at 5:30pm. All are welcome to come and celebrate the passage of SB 79 and all of the other housing bills signed today!

You pick up your camera and watch as your partner uses his dick and the fingerpaints to "document" the crime scene....on a nearby concrete wall.

So not only does he create a shitty, useless pic of the crime scene but even if it was flawless, he's done it ON a part of the fucking crime scene! (3/3)

You're understandably annoyed but then confused because he's set his bag down and is unzipping his pants.

"You don't need that stupid camera bro, I've got a much better way to do this." he says, pulling out his dick and revealing the bag contains a variety of fingerpaint jars.

One of the weirder visualizations I've come up with for the stupidity of the Trump Regime:

You and your partner are told to visually document a crime scene.

You show up with a polaroid camera but your partner is carrying a bulky bag. When you pull out your camera he slaps it out of your hand (1/3)

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

Wooooooooo, let's gooooooooooooooo

Ladies and gentlemen, we did it. SB 79 has been signed.

Just heard from the building super that they know what's wrong with the elevator. Hopefully by next week then I'll have access to my bicycle again! 😅

I guarantee this is a big part because my brain works this way and none of my friends understand it either, lol. I designed and fabricated a custom insert for a 115-year-old built-in in my apartment so I could mount my 20-year-old flat panel without drilling into anything.

I think both of those buildings also only have a bit of pull-under parking too. No major structured parking and the bit that isn't pull-under is open air surface, able to be developed on further in the future.

That one and the one across O St from it are pretty handsome too, especially compared to the one opposite on 16th. 1420 16th St has a neat bit of brick (veneer probably) at the cornice line of its cupola too

Even cartoon villains have greater grasps of reality...

My grandfather received two Purple Hearts for injuries received while fighting for "antifa" in the early 1940s. What the fuck are these lunatics snorting (or, more importantly, what do they think WE'RE snorting that we'd let this go?

I'm honestly more concerned, with regard to AI, with what is going to happen when the bubble inevitably bursts. The kind of AI tech that the technofash broskis are salivating over right now isn't really all that useful or productivity-enhancing which is why they're hyping it so hard.

Why the fuck does he look like a kid who's just run through the kitchen door screaming to his mom about how "Billy told me I look stupid" and expecting some kind of Inquisition to rain fire down upon Billy and his ilk? 😆

Wasn't "revival" the word that the KKK used to refer to their large gatherings?

Taylor Scheinuk @taylorscheinuk.com · 2d

As someone who used to be in charge of one of these programs, I tentatively agree but (like most things) it's an interestingly complex problem (with available solutions). Mainly, Complete Streets policies treat the features as "bolt-on accessories" to "real" streets instead of a holistic rethink.

Taylor Scheinuk @taylorscheinuk.com · 2d

This is my biggest objection to dockless bike/scootshare. The lack of dedicated "place where thing go" racks specifically for these devices not only means they end up dumped in dangerous, disrespectful, or inconvenient places but also that racks provided for general use get completely taken up too.

@seattledot.bsky.social please install official micromobilty parking at E Pike & Melrose Ave. This area has long needed it, and without it we constantly see bike lanes and sidewalks obstructed with bike & scooter share vehicles.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Taylor Scheinuk @taylorscheinuk.com · 2d

Every time I see some fresh horror visited upon us by this right-wing terrorist government, the silence from those members of my family who voted for it is all the more deafening and enraging. These were people who, in spite of their flaws, I always thought good but now I just see them as cowards.

Oh it's absolutely needed but there are so many loopholes in the existing ones, like the vestigial pedals that allow what are effectively electric mopeds to "technically" be e-bikes

Taylor Scheinuk @taylorscheinuk.com · 2d

Throttles shouldn't be allowed on anything less than light mopeds with an exception for "momentary booster" buttons, i.e. if you're starting on an incline it'll help you at full power for 5 seconds or so. And we need a carveout to prevent the "off-road use only" loophole from being used.

Taylor Scheinuk @taylorscheinuk.com · 2d

The 3-tier classification system is just dumb. For one thing, there ought to be a tier that matches the euro pedelec category (14.5mph limit, no throttle). Class 3 should be "light moped" and require full lighting, registration, and DOT helmet. Anything above is an e-moped/moto i.e. a motorcycle
