go.bsky.app/HVLZoBr Re-sharing because I’m extending the scope to DFW rather than just Dallas!

First batch of folks added to the Dallas Urbanism/Transit starter pack- let me know who else need to be in! Dallas-area journalists who write about transportation and housing policy in DFW *especially* welcome.

This is correct. Also, the Supreme Court is illegitimate.

Abusing the Americans with Disabilities Act to bring your pet into bars, restaurants, and grocery stores is tacky. sfstandard.com/2025/10/08/d...

Dogs in restaurants? It’s getting hairy

In a city where canines aren’t just pets but children, the opinions over where they belong is fierce.

i can forgive the shoddy ending because it's not *where* the story ended that is the problem for me, it's just how quickly we got there. all it needed was more time in the oven and a willingness from SG to make the game just a bit longer rather than sticking to the exact same story length as H1

Zander🚈🔰 @kohiwonomu.bsky.social · 1d

i think multiple things can be true
(a) the ending kinda sucked, and it's ok to be disappointed about that especially coming from a studio that usually sticks the landing
(b) the game is still fantastic, a for sure GOTY contender, and outside of the ending the writing is hella good

The secret to good chili is to add at least two ingredients that don't seem to belong in chili. Mine are bonito flakes and gochujang, but cinnamon/dark chocolate is a fantastic combination as well.

A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at.

And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.

Nome @nome.bsky.social · Aug 12

There is a line around this building to get to the line entrance to wait to get into this job fair.

At the airport. For airport jobs.

Maybe Jake Tapper wasn’t entirely sincere in his “don’t hide the president” crusade under Biden.

Kevin Elliott @kjephd.bsky.social · 2d

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president — not any of his aides — who authored the written responses to his questions.

He also did not explain whether he’d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly.

The president’s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phone’s text message capacity.

He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings.

Trump’s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health
