Never really did the Twitter thing, but I'm here anyway. Building community is the best defense against propaganda. He/him
Whoever convinced Walz to be cordial with this guy during the debate should be fired and banned from working in the Democratic Party ever again.

The Urbanist sharing About Here videos? Nice.

Yup, our low capacity systems built largely for suburban commuters to get into financial district office spaces hasn’t rebounded in an era of WFH? Shocker!

“I’ve been cancelled”

4) such a team could respond to complaints about nudists at the beach by calmly explaining the law to the people who called the city about it - rather than armed power trippers showing up to detain people for exercising their rights

Imagine the unbridled rage Mamdani would elicit if he ran as an independent after losing the primary.

Decline of third places, prevalence of phones, and audio books gaining popularity.

This is why I personally would love combined approval voting. It’s how we do most surveys so it wouldn’t be that hard to understand.

Approve, neutral, disapprove. Can even add a “strongly” to each side as well so voters can further rank candidates.

Kahn would be MAGA, but Hank would somehow inadvertently show Khan his error, and the episode would end on Hank restating Kahn’s lesson as a grilling metaphor.

“People who came here in droves”. Amazing how “droves” works so effectively as a modifier in that person’s mind: people includes mothers and children, but they didn’t see that in the abstract - only when it finally happens specifically in their line of sight. It’s really sad.

Why pack any? He presumably wore pants on the plane! 😅🤣😂

“Let them choke on tire dust” doesn’t quite have the same ring as cake, but the tone is pretty spot on.

Noteworthy: these images are in Redmond’s city center - and are the result of intentional city planning choices by Redmond’s administration, in full knowledge of the light rail’s location.

And Redmond is considered walkable by American standards.

Spot on take. MAHA is about providing a rugged individualist cover for defunding healthcare spending and accelerating the decline of healthcare access

This entire debate is just so stupid. If multi-family units in Seattle aren't built - single family units in North Bend or Maple Valley will.

What cuts more trees? 100 SFHs each on a half acre lot (50 acres of greenfield) or a 100 unit building on a single half acre lot?

Ok, now wondering if there is there anything I can do that might actually convince Issaquah's council to designate Front Street a Shared Street.

Man, every year that goes on I feel more and more validated in my contempt for Carville, McCaskill, Maher, and the other bloviating dipshit "liberals" who have further fueled the RW narrative that polarization is anything other than a function of how far we've let the GOP slide right.

I stayed in the Atlanta Marriott Marquis for a work conference once. Even all of my non architecture nerd coworkers were obsessed.

Finally. Someone making the correct point here. De-industrialization is arguably a legitimate concern, but uncertainty and a drastic change in priorities after multiple generations invested heavily into education for STEM and business management roles is surely just a worse shock to the labor force

Dang, Issaquah slips under the cutoff…

Worse. Now a useless bill can pass and serve as a red herring for all sorts of nonsense arguments moving forward.
