Stand By Me is a movie that means a lot to me. I wrote this last year after revisiting it. Along with The Princess Bride, it’s one of those movies that taught me, as a child and adolescent, about love and death in a deeply felt way that few movies can.

Rest in peace Rob Reiner.

A ★★★★½ review of Stand by Me (1986)
Entering early adolescence is more about grappling with mortality for the first time than most coming-of-age stories allow for. Steven King understands that. You turn twelve, and suddenly things start...

Massachusetts has ordered gas companies to prioritize shutting down leaky gas lines and installing heat pumps instead of replacing pipelines. Curious whether California PUC has taken the same steps (genuine question)
Six people were injured and three buildings were destroyed in a residential explosion and fire Thursday morning near Hayward in Alameda County, which happened hours after a construction crew hit an underground gas line.

to the extent that "back yard" implies urban infill with already-existing infrastructure, advocating for this project is ipso facto not "yimby" advocacy

“Environmental review is not planning” is one of those statements that is so obviously true but nearly every thing about transportation institutions and environmental review in California/US pushes against it.

🚨We analyzed 138 million geocoded property tax records to quantify how municipal boundaries spatially overlap onto economic segregation in every US metro area—creating disparities in localities’ ability to fund public goods. And we made an interactive map of our results! [1/16]

Kudos Bars (1986-2017): A line of chocolate-covered chewy granola bars, marketed as a healthier snack for kids, despite ostensibly being candy bars. Available in flavors like chocolate chip, peanut butter, cookies n creme, and many more. then eventually actual candy variants like Snickers and M&Ms.

Credit to Mikie for trying, but this is also a response that is deeply felt as a candidate whose donor base and background is living in Montclair, NJ, which I had to stop comparing Berkeley and Ann Arbor when i went home a couple years ago and realized we still had zero (0) bike lanes.
@thenewjerseyer.bsky.social has unearthed a crazy nugget here, from an interview with incoming NJ governor Mikie Sherrill. She clearly says that she stopped talking about building new housing, even though she thinks it's a good idea, because most every voter she spoke to hated the idea!! (1/5)

i find this discourse so odd because, "candidates who match their districts" is seperate from "moderate candidate"

If Trump’s EPA abandons climate policy, could California take over on greenhouse gases?
California, the state that helped define U.S. clean-air policy, is once again considering how far it can go without Washington’s permission.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

In good news, girlfriend passed the CA Bar exam (on her first try, mind you, and without a formal US legal education)

So in my mind she’s pretty much the smartest woman who ever lived

I was hollering and pounding on the table even before I saw this was a @colinreports.bsky.social job

I am doing my damnedest to do and advocate for climate work that makes a big positive impact on people’s daily lives, and not center the C word, in my community

IMO that’s the way forward

It’s pretty interesting how pundits can proclaim that Zohran’s pro-housing policies are insincere or not true YIMBYism but Abigail Spanberger’s straight up opposition to state land use preemption of local governments for ADUs and small apartments upzoning and approvals just gets shrugged off.
