Congrats! Can't wait to see what kind of impact this makes over the next half decade.

What is CA YIMBY's priority for the next CA Lege session?

OMG would love them to steal some IMAX screens back for both of those. They replaced OBAA at the only real IMAX screen here in Austin with... Tron :/

I've been texting friends to urge them to see OBAA while it's still in theaters because they are going to regret missing it if they don't.

Still thinking about One Battle After Another. It still has an emotional and visceral grip on me, like no film in a good long while. Both utterly of this moment, right now, and transcending it.

I called the governor to ask him to sign SB 79. It was easy and it only took a few minutes.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

He suffers from "churning out multiple newsletters a week syndrome" but if you read them all you will 1) realize he's pretty consistent and 2) like with most people, you are going to disagree with him often. He is rich but he understands you must first acquire political power in order to wield it. 🤷

My ACL weekend 1 day 1 review is that daytime is a hellscape no matter how good the bands are.

If California is going to continue leading the nation on climate, we need to legalize dense, sustainable housing near our high quality transit. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social please do the right thing and sign SB 79.
