A Map of Pittsburgh area urbanization over time, qualitatively separated into three eras.
It feels like the start of a thesis.
Our region has grown with characteristics unique to us, and I could only have made a map like this experiencing different zones through my own experiences living in them🏡🖤💛

genuinely flabbergasted how BAD google search has gotten.
(Was trying to find stuff from Shursave's 2018 proposal, and google wasn't finding anything.) Had to switch to Duck Duck Go to get results.
Not great, corporate tech enshitification.

like 79% of the time I ever try to take the bus, I get annoyed and then have time to tweet about it. (P1 20m headway v 7m scheduled, then a doublestack where a overcrowded bus is followed by an empty bus a minute later)
The busway is supposed to be faster than bicycling.

Photo/graphics/art-centric bluesky wen?!?
as a self-identified creative, I'm starting to get the anxious sense that the collapse/enshitification of platforms (technofeudal cloud fiefs) will be more disruptive than anything related to gen-AI. It's a strange realization.

Here come the Gestapo / Imperial Storm Troopers.
NEW - The feds are seeking Pittsburgh office space for an unspecified law enforcement agency expansion in the region. Reporting from WaPo and NPR indicate that ICE is behind the request as part of a 10,000 officer nationwide expansion www.axios.com/local/pittsb...
Feds quietly plan Pittsburgh office for unspecified law enforcement
NPR and the Washington Post both reported last month that the office space request is being made on behalf of ICE.

The Penn Ave. bike lane lawsuit is based on change aversion and bad faith, so say I:

The lawsuit halting work on the Penn Ave. bike lane extension seems based on misconceptions.

yeah. this checks out.
one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

Did the audiobook of Abundance and generally enjoyed the big-picture thinking they were trying to do.
And I get the concept that to make progress, we do have to deal with existing systems to an extent. But this extent of Thiel & Co.?!?
Big meh.

Over the last few months I've become fascinated with Abundance, the new nominally liberal ideology pushed by liberal stalwarts like Ezra Klein. But if you peak behind the curtain and look at the funding you discovering something horrifying: Peter Theil, the Koch

Listened to a fantastic review of and deep dive into "Abundance", bringing receipts on how on the funding level, it functions as another front the technofeudalist-oligarchy is using to consolidate wealth and power.
Great work @miawong.bsky.social on 'It Can Happen Here' podcast.

What a delight to watch Paul Skenes pitch...🏴☠️ This futurist dynamic capture of motion and energy has been living in my head for awhile now. Love how this live-sketch rough-draft turned out. (👀 in other mediums, digital and other physical media 👀)
