I’m sorry, but law of supply and demand still applies. What do you think: other places with lower rents have no greedy landlords?!!

The greedy landlords are caused by lack of supply, but go on, tom

The "Deciding To Win" centrists dismiss base mobilization, but the actual 2024 data shows: the more blue a place was in 2020, the lower its turnout was in 2024.

Swing voters weren't nearly as important as Dem-leaning irregular voters not voting at all. The base wasn't mobilized, so we lost.

I have no words to describe my loathing of the anti bike lane psycho john pitkin. Every week he posts a nonsense anti bike letter. @cambridgeday.com you do know that you can not publish his screeds and ravings?

Bike safety is not the only issue facing Cambridge

Everyone wants safe streets for pedestrians and bicyclists. And there are other things that also matter.

I don’t think so. I think bill gates really thinks he knows. But of course he is influenced by grifters and sociopaths like breakthrough institute

According to Exxon, disclosing to the public the impact that their business is having on the environment violates the First Amendment. Make it make sense.

I’m sorry, but no. Hydrogen lost the technology race and makes zero sense compared to charging at home or everywhere

I must say I enjoy the weekly international edition of @theguardian.com much much more than the Economist. Much better clear reporting that is not constantly licking right wing and billionaires feet

An excerpt from my new piece for @thebulletin.org on Bill Gates' new climate missive:

For years when I would criticize Gates for what I consider to be his misguided take on climate, colleagues would say, “you just don’t understand what Gates is saying!” Now, with Donald Trump and the right-wing Murdoch media machine (the Wall Street Journal editorial board and now an op-ed by none other than Lomborg himself in the New York Post) celebrating Gates’ new missive, I can confidently turn around and say, “No, you didn’t understand what he was saying.”

NIMBY letter in @cambridgeday.com vs the same guy writing me in private. This is delusional, he says his sons cannot afford it to live in Cambridge, but that's ok, and he will leave his house to grandsons, so they are lucky to have green Cambridge without shade from taller buildings 🤪

It's not that every individual driver is a murderous asshole (I'm not!). It's that car dependency as a whole is dangerous. It's that cars are deadly when they hit people. It's that our society prioritizes drivers above all else. It's about a system that is dangerous for anyone not in a car.

The anti-car brigade is really fucking weird.

The way they act like someone who drives regularly kills babies and kicks old ladies down the stairs is really fucking bizarre.

I quite enjoyed a lot of the takedowns of Bill Gates' EA brain snap on climate. It is really deadassed in a number of ways.

But no-one mentioned the most important thing. He isn't *just* full of shit. He knows he is full of shit.

I can prove it: timinclimate.medium.com/even-bill-ga...

Even Bill Gates knows he is full of shit

Did you hear about that “one low-income country set out to cut emissions by banning synthetic fertilizers”?

(1/X) I see our entire media ecosystem as essentially pro-Trump. For various reasons, most of the people who work in national media or own national media outlets shade their coverage to favor Trump. I want to go through some of the reasons.

First...Trump as avenger.

@cbsnews.com…WTH! You fired your entire climate team? Perhaps you should also fire your health, transportation safety, food safety, fire safety, and economic reporters too—because without reporting on the climate change context none of those stories will be meaningful.
