Congratulations to JDA

I'm gonna get rich with my new web site: explain-midnight-pals.com.

Honestly I'd suggest voting before Nov 3 and saving yourself a lot of stress. I know it's tough to get it done before the last day, but this is probably the year to push through.

What is the DOJ's interest in this? This is the kind of lawsuit the Dan S. Sullivan campaign should be running, not the DOJ. Does the federal government even have standing? (Guess we'll find out on the latter.)

I've stopped myself from adding to the local discourse twice in the last 15 minutes. i had long posts and everything.

It really pisses me off that I see so many cops on 6th St and so few social workers. I should be seeing social workers more than cops.

Bad cops do some really bad things. This one is bad AND creative.

A presentation today at the Puget Sound Regional Council shows that just a few cities across the region are producing housing at a race on pace with growth targets since 2019/2020. Seattle, Redmond, Kirkland, Shoreline, Port Orchard, Woodinville are exceeding targets, but 26 out of 40 aren't.

RapidRide J is finally starting to look like a bike & transit project instead of an underground utilities and repaving project.

I haven't watched pro basketball much since the 90s. Do teams just not drive into the paint much anymore?

One thing about having a small city council is there's only a one vote difference between a bare majority and a super majority. Convincing one CM to make a bad go-along-to-get-along vote turns a bill into something hard to veto.

If preservationists had their way, we'd never get another historic Notre-Dame Cathedral. Once you've built something you can't change it, according to them. Every century there were significant changes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:No...

I endorse this campaign, with all my heart

Walk, bike, or take transit in the Fillmore/Western Addition? We want to hear from you! Swing by on Tuesday, October 27th for free coffee & donuts and chat with @walksf.org, @sfbike.org, and @sftru.bsky.social about how, together, we can build safer streets and transit that works for everyone!

DreamHost on top of PHP issue: We are currently rolling out PHP's upstream fix fleet-wide. Known attack vectors and confirmed exploit paths across all PHP versions remain closed. Additionally, our Web Application Firewall (WAF) is actively blocking any incoming exploit attempts.

It saddens me to report that: - There's an ongoing LinkedIn beef around attribution in open source projects, and - I pay attention to LinkedIn I have ... thoughts. I want to avoid the LinkedIn blast radius (for now) so this seemed like a better venue in which to float these thoughts. Here we go...

Denim Dan is a LIAR.

I am APPALLED. What a craven, hateful piece of legislation. People in difficult situations need HELP, not to be held to higher standards and more draconian punishments than their wealthier neighbors.

i know it's a badge of honor for these chuds, but finding creative ways to be shitty is not a good thing. memo to Dan Strauss.

Been heads down working. I see people are arguing once again on the internet.

This might be Washington State focused, but I suspect a lot of what they're talking about will affect other states too.

EXCLUSIVE: an email exchange that took place this month between Representative Julia Reed and Acting SDOT Director Angela Brady brings frustrations around the city's slow progress planning a street overhaul on Aurora Ave N fully out in the open. www.theurbanist.org/state-lawmak...

I dropped a very little black screw. how do i find it without a magnet or good lighting?

"Should Peacock share your information with the WNBA?" Fuck no.

About 2½ blocks from me. :(

Help SFTR and MNMF inform voters about Props H and RTM! From now until Election Day, we'll be flyering, postering, and phonebanking to explain to voters how vital it is for Bay Area transit to pass these measures this November. If you're interested in volunteering, sign up at luma.com/SFTRevents.

Go, social housing, go!

Correction: died after a cop tackled him off his scooter into a metal pole.

The NY Times publishing a video critical of their own coverage is nice I guess. But I'd really prefer they actually fix their coverage. Not a slight on this Mark Jacob fella. He's absolutely correct.

TIL Funko is a Washington company

Does your football team have urbanists? mine does.

What I really want from Bluesky these days: "show full thread from start" with any replies to posts inside the thread stripped out.
