The City is studying safety improvements on Seminary Road near the FFX line. Survey closes May 21. I support option 3 - adds to the bike network and best for pedestrians.

@demsocsean Have they taken a standing zoning4housing? The Pickett Street Road diet? Converting Jefferson Houston to a middle school?

you know it's a strong start to a campaign in NYC when the candidate lists his home address as Alexandria, Virginia.

@chriswithans @BitecoferStan The same issue of changes in different wages relative to each other comes up, I was simplifying.
English
@YimbyA @BitecoferStan No, wages can increase in real terms. Inflation can be negative and real wages can still rise. Inflation can be 1% and real wages can increase 3%. Wages are but one component in costs for goods and services.

@AnshelPfeffer @haaretzcom Could you create a Blue Sky account?

I wrote this in @haaretzcom back in 2022 about a previous outburst of antisemitism from Kanye West. I think it still holds up today quite well search.app/KZneKL2G8T1cQT…

@eli_wilson04 Look at Argentina! Massive cuts. It didn’t lead to recession. It led to growth and lower inflation.

@GoodToGoJoe1142 @ReichlinMelnick Actually the prophet Micah in the "Old Testament" (we Jews don't call it that) said "Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God".
English
@ReichlinMelnick Pretty sure God tried to have mercy on us but we didn't learn so now God is getting back to his Old Testament roots.

A sitting member of Congress calls for the deportation of a bishop who asked Trump to show mercy to those in the country who are afraid.
We are in a dark moment in this country and have abandoned our founding principles. God have mercy on us.
Rep. Mike Collins@RepMikeCollins
The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.

@PippengerHarlo Usually all homeowners, almost all white, in a City that's majority renters and heavily POC.
English
@PippengerHarlo Maybe its different in Ca, but where I live staff is hired by a City Manager appointed by electeds. Significant zoning changes are voted on by those electeds. We have thousands of voters, while the folks who show up at a hearing are at most a few dozen.

YIMBY removal of community involvement is anti-democratic. not commenting on if its good or bad but it is objectively removing democratic control in favor of either private capital or largely unelected state bureaucrats

This is lowkey an argument in favor of local zoning control. You don't see why X zoning is good. Other people in your neighborhood do. Let them have a say through some organized process. If its very important to you, find a community with like minded front lawn opinionated people...

@VernonAndOn Wait there's a piece of recent genre pop culture i know well, and you don't?
English
Haven't seen this movie since it came out so I know this is going to sound really obvious but the shot of the side of the truck with dust behind it mirroring a rocket launch with the countdown sequence is a really inspired touch
Stephen Ford@StephenSeanFord
just putting the launch scene from interstellar on your timeline in case you need a good cry

@Yair_Rosenberg Ive been active on local urbanist and bike ped Twitter. Most accounts I want to interact with have migrated to Bluesky. I keep an account here, but spend much more time there.
English
There isn't really one Twitter. There are many, from Sports Twitter to Swiftie Twitter. "English-speaking left-leaning political Twitter" is just a small subset of what makes Twitter, and its diminishment isn't enough to diminish the broader platform. twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg…

No social media platform needs to be a "Twitter replacement" to succeed, but this is definitely not what a Twitter replacement looks like:
