@latimes this is ok coverage of control burns but an attention grabbing and damaging title. Like 99% of control burns this was a safe and successful. obv sad to see two giant sequoias damaged but that's a footnote to what will happen without burns latimes.com/california/sto…

Why am I being advertised datemyage.com on twitter? Is 35, married, and recently had a baby the target demographic? I would have guessed that demo is more silenceretreate.org oriented.

The Supreme Court, in the last 48 hours, has reaffirmed our commitment to electoral rules and principles of fairness. Despite politics, they did their jobs. Feeling hopeful today. politico.com/news/2023/06/2…

US primary system creates chess like strategic dynamics, where any move you make now must be considered for future positioning. Trump's desperation is forcing him to set up a very unfavorable general election board for Republicans.

@TheNBACentral @awfulannouncing Wow. JJ Redick with some powerful and passionate context on gun culture and impunity in America and how hypocritical it is to hold athletes to higher standard than politicians. Worth a watch.

JJ Redick got heated on First Take this morning “WHY ARE WE TRYING TO LAY DOWN THE HAMMER ON A 23-YEAR-OLD WHO DIDN’T BREAK A LAW? EXPLAIN THAT TO ME !” (h/t @awfulannouncing )

It's really depressing to see neighbors avidly oppose safe biking infrastructure in Berkeley of all places. Save Hopkins is really "save parking". Ask any bike commuter or city planner, protected bike lanes make people safer. Live your espoused values please.

@jahorne If cars are allowed in downtowns they belong underground.

Parking lots are about one-fifth of all land in U.S. city centers, making them "easy to get to, but not worth arriving at." bigthink.com/strange-maps/p…

Been noticing a lot more swales in Berkeley / Albany lately and loving them. Interested in how much they can contribute to ground water recharge for urban areas and how necessary that even is (are there wells in urban areas?)

Was gone for a month for the birth of my son, anything else happen?

Does anyone know what the total water storage capacity of all degraded Sierra meadows is? same for carbon sink capacity? Some great work on why meadows matter (water/carbon) and natural infra in CA, but hard to find estimates of the scale of the solution. youtu.be/Sy-gin77GSk

I'm increasingly convinced that voluntary carbon offset markets make sense if beneficiaries being served are low income and the use of proceeds of the offset is to subsidize the upfront cost of acquiring a good or service: biodigester, clean cookstove, EV, solar etc. Reactions?

Very annoying how media is talking about California's recent rain storms. Either a "crippling" drought or a "devastating" rain. The history of CA weather is dramatic swings. Yes they have gotten worse but expectation should be drought or deluge and we should plan accordingly.

@Acyn Please call him on this bluff.

Gaetz: If Democrats join up to elect a moderate Republican, I will resign.

@SoldTheMoon @Scott_Wiener What is modern transit tech?

@Scott_Wiener Since you are keen on obsolete transit tech, why not go big and create a statewide network of stagecoach routes?

The Southwest Airlines meltdown reiterates the critical need for California to create a statewide high speed rail system. We’ve over-relied on airlines for too long. We need a statewide rail system to complement the rest of the system.

@Scott_Wiener I completely agree. Now we need decade long, consistent support. Building the first of anything costs a lot. The federal government should foot the bill of CA driving down the cost curve on high speed rail in the US and CA should pay to have modern intercity transit.

It's so easy to believe that every economic headwind will quickly subside and every tail wind will never end. Good rule of thumb seems to be double your expectation for how long hard times will last and quarter your expectation for how long good times will last.
