You mean Cleveland Park, right?
It’s that time of the year! The Smithsonian National Zoo is hosting their annual Zoo Lights event now through Jan 3. Easiest way to the fun? Take Metro to Woodley Park station. 🐼

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

When I worked in the mail room of a midtown Manhattan video post-production studio, FedEx was cheaper than bike messenger for single video cassette delivery to lower Manhattan, meaning the "efficient" way to send something 3 miles was to send it on a 2000 mile round-trip journey

A tumblr account where you just ring up companies and writers and local tv stations and small town officials and big town services and just ask, one after another, "why are you still using twitter?" and post their response.

Biggest problem for me forever is discovery. I have no problem buying music from Bandcamp and already do for a lot of stuff, but I don't know what I like until I hear it, that's historically on streaming.
I'd stop streaming if I could find another way to find music I like easily.

What would it take to get you off streaming? If I made a video about how to support artists and still have great music would you be interested?
I'm asking consumers specifically because if we make them happy, artists will follow.
Let's kill this shit. Please.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.
Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.
Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

It always goes back to Reagan
I think a lot about how transportation policy in the 70s was slowly bending towards a multimodal future after freeway revolts and the environmental movement (and how all that progress evaporated with the Reagan admin)
Reading California’s Urban Strategy for California from Spring 1978 (Jerry Brown 1.0 administration).
