Substack Starter Pack ?
whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero
i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.

Some say government is a system of checks and balances.
It's hard to parody Los Angeles governance these days: a group that has received ~$1,575,000 from the city since 2020 has simultaneously sued the city twice. (SAJE also expends significant resources opposing/gutting state/local pro-housing reforms.)

Waste of the Day: L.A. Funds Activists, Then Group Sues
Topline: A Los Angeles advocacy group that sued the city twice was simultaneously being funded by the city itself.

Interchangeable-by-user battery packs for tools are great. Alas, bicycling lights and other accessories remain mostly sealed and/or proprietary.

Something that really gets me about the state of battery development is that consumers have so many amazing battery powered devices now.
Cordless stick vacuums have become very mainstream. Almost everyone is using cordless power tools, in fact lots of auto shops hardy use air tools anymore!

This is interesting news & good argument. I had no idea the Newburgh-Beacon boat had been kiboshed @streetsblognys.bsky.social
OPINION: The Newburgh-Beacon Ferry Was More Than a Boat — It Was Equity in Motion - Streetsblog Empire State
The MTA's decision to discontinue ferry service between Newburgh and Beacon deprives Mid-Hudson Valley communities of a vital link to mass transit and economic opportunity.

When @nyc311 improvises and suspends Alternate Side Parking (#ASP), what do the Traffic Enforcement Agents (#TEA) do during their scheduled shift? Are they sent home, or can we get an instant army of 1,200+ (?) more snow shovellers? I need my #citibike #vikingBiking #bikeNYC @nycdot.bsky.social

This shows why two-way bike lanes handle winter worse.
If this was a one-way lane, it would still be narrowed by the snow, and it would be harder to pass slower cyclists.
But there wouldn’t be automatic directional conflicts like this.

James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock - The Calculus of Consent is a classic for thinking about constitutional rules prevent majorities from exploiting minorities and limiting government's ability to be captured.
While we're at it - has any legal realist scholar written anything about what constitutional design, from a legal realist perspective, is best at promoting democracy, anti-corruption, pluralism, etc.? Cc @lemieuxlgm.bsky.social
Okay, then write a new one. De facto it's already happened, so now the US has an entirely unwritten constitution, whose bill of rights is "whatever vibes SCOTUS feels this year."
