Wow, it turns out that letting the police beat the shit out of protests and then reward them with endless funding, independence, praise, and apologies for anybody being mean to them hasn't worked out as a strategy, who could've seen that coming.

They threatened to arrest the dean of the school of journalism that hosts the PULITZER prizes & student journalists if they left PULITZER HALL to report on their own campus. Carry on, I guess? Maybe complain more about the students? The adults in charge of this can be ignored.

@GregTSargent The mainstream political media's refusal to feel any responsibility for the public having diametrically backwards impressions is one of the most frustrating things about them If I'm teaching and 70% of the class gets the same wrong answer, I at least consider it may be my fault
@yhdistyminen @torriangray Anyone who wants to categorize YIMBY and NIMBY in purely left/right terms isn't to be taken seriously. It's a juvenile assessment.
By way of numbers: global spending on solar passed $1bn *per day* recently, and it’s still expanding exponentially. It’s the Ur-trend of this decade. Just absolutely staggering levels of investment that will reshape the contours of the global economy.

I keep saying it, but transit is a service-driven industry. Service needs to lead. People won't begin to consider your service seriously until the service is reliably there.

How many Wikipedia articles about a company read like this: "Company X was founded in 1893 as Fort Frances Frobnicator and Factory Furnishings Ltd.{{cn}} In 2008, Frobco was acquired by Viking Vista Ventures and Joe Blow was named CEO as the company pivoted to cat videos"?
Cambridge should save the bike ordinance and then it should stop ghettoizing denser multifamily housing and built it all over Cambridge. And I do mean ALL OVER CAMBRIDGE.

@SwannMarcus89 Kind of stunning that the biggest lessons from the Biden-era are: dont end wars (you won't get credit), don't do climate legislation (you won't get credit), don't do social spending (leftists will ignore it and focus on inflation), don't cancel student debt (you won't get credit)
@ShamebyJames Love it when a white women is privileged enough to sacrifice my rights to larp and feel morally superior 😮💨
we're also entering an era where housing costs are going to continue to increase. the cost of mortgages is high and isn't going to drop dramatically. insurance rates are only going to get crazier and spikier with climate change and then there's effects of climate change itself

interesting price history on this dinky 1968 one-bedroom in central austin, which hit a high of $1,200 in 2023 but is now renting for $999 — adjusted for inflation, that’s not only less than it was going for in 2018, but actually beats the rent in 1972! zillow.com/homedetails/23…

be very careful what code you bring into this world because you will never ever get a chance to delete it 😭
@RMIBuildings Of course, it goes without saying that the way buildings are designed is also critical to this. In the US, anomalous building codes have led to preponderance of hotel-like double loaded corridor. These lack ability to night purge or cross ventilate. When AC goes, could be deadly
FAR bloat plays a massive part, too. Cities should induce more single loaded corridors - or better yet, point access blocks - to facilitate better passive survivability in heat events. These also allow more family sized homes. More in our policy brief: larchlab.com/point-access-b…
