You simply cannot be walking around with a ball of keys in your pocket if millennials are going to have any hope of holding onto skinny jeans

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

The wayfinding at El Monte station is so abysmal. @metrolosangeles.bsky.social J line picks up at a completely unmarked stop. On top of that the silver steak heading the same direction is at the opposite end of the platform and you can't keep an eye on both at the same time.

Cancel the apology tour. Platner's back at the mic. Catch the trailer for the disgraced U.S. Senate candidate's standup special on this week's InfoWars HQ.

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

Imagine someone telling you they live in a mid sized suburb and saying "damn, you must be cool as hell"

It's Friday who needs to get anywhere at 11pm on #lametro

One of the best podcasts I've ever done on the public transit challenge in the US. A great conversation with @clmarohn, the founder of @strongtowns. Please share. podcast.strongtowns.org/e/the-transi...

This is especially insane given that the related helicopter crash will be fully investigated by the NTSB and based on those findings changes may result, and yet with the car crash we're just gonna say "oh the driver was drunk, better luck next time"

Those thick-ass towels that rich people give you when you stay at their house, that's a prank right?

I'm so sick of the free transit thing. As if Metro wasn't burdened enough by it's own wasteful nonsense already, Bass is out giving it more slopulism to carry.

Here's a tip: If you've got bad breath just light a couple matches in there.

Wild that after this administration we actually do have to make America great again

honestly what's inside the Mona Lisa's head tho? have we tried drilling into it?

"We do not consider [someone who averages 5% support] to be a protest vote"

How funny would it be if the D line immediately explodes due to a methane leak

Could you imagine having to come back to earth RN

Every airline safety video shows the "blowing into the vest" like this. But that can't possibly be how you're supposed to do it right?

Good morning. Someone is always going to make money on housing. Personally, I think it is better for developers to make money building new homes for people to live in than for landlords and homeowners to continue getting rich off of artificial housing scarcity.

Also now that they have drafts here we are so back

If I'm being honest, the collapse of the post-Cold War international order and the violent occupation of an American city are making it difficult for me to concentrate on housing policy.

Honestly, after so many of the Kennedys getting killed it makes sense one of them would be like, "what if..."

More fundamentally, the political tension in American cities right now is between a faction who exists to protect the rents of incumbent interests and another who is allergic to any idea of trade-offs because they think there's a magic button that eliminates scarcity and only they will press it.

The rise of on-deck-bucket open mics was the worst thing to happen to standup

If Pepsi just did an anti AI commercial I'd drink it from here on out. And I fucking hate Pepsi.

Today was the hardest day of my life. We fought for nearly a decade to bring secure bike parking to NYC and ultimately were completely excluded from the @nyc-dot.bsky.social process for citywide system. To those who believed in us and our vision, I am so sorry. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/01/a...

Why don't they make the whole faucet out of the hard water?

Kings Hawaiian are trash

Sink outside the bathroom is the solution

Sometimes I wish I had a simpler life where I was a bartender at a place called "the mechanical room" and I got to ask my coworkers if they "turned the gears on yet"

The fact that the free market approach to health care has resulted in such extreme levels of tragedy has really scrambled people's brains that it cannot possibly be appropriate to supply other things

People somewhat reasonably assume that the rules governing our built environments are built on careful assessment of the best available science and rigorous analysis of tradeoffs but in reality it's like 85% vibes.

There are people driving around behind ICE honking their horns to warn people, and then there are the people in the replies too afraid to publicly say they went to a No Kings march

if you are a US citizen doing nothing illegal the people sneering/screaming/scolding that you shouldn't do this are confusing their own mental illness with Opsec.

It’s extremely funny because the online fringe can’t decide if No Kings is either a terrifying brush with death or a do-nothing wine mom fake protest, and it becomes kind of clear after a while they just feel angst about stuff happening in reality

I just saw a delivery robot with a bad wheel. That thing was loud as hell but it's still going

Bass calling Los Angeles a "Pro Housing City" is another level of deranged

We need to talk about oversized trucks and the aesthetic of fascism.

Orange County is so car brained they forgot what a town is

Even if there were good candidates the machine of the Democratic Party is just a shell around a termite infestation of consulting firms

My butcher diagram has been rejected by butcher school again

It's time for clear eyed thinking about the potential for the large-scale destruction of public transit in American cities. It could happen in the next two years. Thread... 1/

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines "These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

WORLD’S FIRST EVER DUAL BUS-TRAIN BANNER BREAK-THROUGH!!!!! LAX/Metro Transit Center opens 5pm!
