I love the Lewis and Clark expedition, mainly because it's a series of them being like, "the Indians say there's a huge bear, but we've seen huge bears, I'm sure they're exaggerating" and then they run into a Grizzly Bear and are like HOLY SHIT BEARZILLA!!!!

Same story for the Rocky Mountains.

Are you interesting in cities and how to make them better for everyone? Bluesky has, in my observation, the biggest and best community of urbanists and city-builders on social media, and STARTER PACKS were a KEY to creating that! I have a bunch of them. This was my first! go.bsky.app/G7isZfk

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”

A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.

It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.

Since then, it’s only gotten worse.

Do the steps sound familiar?

(1/2) This court is a problem that won't go away. They'll block everything the next Dem president does.

Got to start talking about "court reform" now. "Republicans in robes", "corruption". Not "packing" or "expanding".

Start framing the discussion now.

We know that...

Reminder about Jan 6:

it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached

After spending his term pardoning corrupt conservative Republicans, Donald Trump has pardoned a corrupt conservative Democrat. Where was this bipartisanship from Obama and Biden?

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

Torn between loving Mike calling Will a sorcerer for what it does for their arcs and also fucking hating it bc that wasn't a DnD class back then, and anyway, if we go by modern classes, El is the sorcerer. Will is a (non-consensual) warlock. #strangerthings

Facebook served me up today‘s memory: a Penn professor trying, to the best of her abilities, bless her heart, to cancel me.

Looking back I should have gone hard right and made myself a professional cancel-culture-victim-grifter. It would have been lucrative and having standards is annoying.

#Montreal 's just leap-frogged other cities in North America by opening the REM.

Automated. Electric. Frequent (2.5 minute headways). Fast (100 km/h plus). Cheap to build. (One tenth the price of other systems)

And really fun to ride...
