in this interview, @pastpunditry.bsky.social says possibly the smartest thing i've heard about gender and the 2024 election (and by extension 2016 also), which is that having Harris as an opponent gave Trump leverage to make certain kinds of gendered appeals

"We have not seen the end of this idea of a 'crisis of men' for reactionary politics. That will be with us for a very long time." I asked Nicole Hemmer if Trump use of misogyny as midterm Hail Mary will flop because the 2024 moment has passed. Her answer is good: newrepublic.com/article/2171...

Here it is, your Bluesky #Bike Content of the Day for Monday, 10/26/26. Love to see this! Protected bike lanes on Pacific Highway through Little Italy all the way to Washington Street will be great. But, @obcycler.bsky.social, I still don’t see these lanes getting you home to OB.

Somewhat lower turnout than past events at my local No Kings rally in Chula Vista, but I'm hoping that's because there are more around town than in the past and people are just more spread out.

California’s Prop. 1 would borrow $11.25 billion for affordable housing, costing the state $500-600 million a year for about 25 years. A 96-unit Chula Vista project is $35 million short today. Worth passing, but pair it with fewer condition and requirements to lower costs.

NWS San Diego has issued new Coastal Flood Warning for near-record/record-breaking tides and possible widespread coastal inundation in SoCal Sun-Thu. And there's no king tides or major storms in the mix yet...just elevated sea levels from extreme El Nino plus long-term warming.

💯the point is to put the onus of safety on the individual so that traffic engineers can continue prioritizing traffic flow over safety

Personally, I wear a helmet for my own mistakes as well as environment. But the idea that cyclists and pedestrians are expected to defend their bodies through clothing choices in the same way women shouldn’t wear short skirts to prevent assault is completely missing the point.

Turns out you can accidentally drive your car through a crowd, killing a 1st grader and a dad, wounding a dozen, and it's just a little "whoopsie doopsie" according to police.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Ok, so I have some good news. I found a new place, in San Diego. I take possession Nov 1. I don't have to be out of my current place until Nov 30 so that will be nice, I can transition slowly. Get a bed, desk delivered down there. Move some things. It's only about a 2 hour drive.
