Hey don’t repave our street! It keeps the traffic slow!

We are launching a big project today with MIT —

You can view monthly electricity prices per kwh and avg. bills for every major utility in the country going back to Jan 2020.

The people pushing these calculators on us are just trying to deprive us of the joy of doing math by hand!

I think he wouldn’t have minded being on the roof rack

Glad we bought a car that can move 8ft lumber rather than a gender-affirming vehicle

The robots should stop doing that. AND why are the stops made out of glass that a robot going 2mph with rubber bumpers can smash?

My top Pittsfield memory is Allison gifting me a wallet on a chain for misplacing my key card … still have it somewhere 🫣

The 6 weeks out stack is very large 😬🫨

@literatibookstore.bsky.social Do you think this will be open for pre-order soon? literatibookstore.com/book/9780300...

How does Python still not have optional chaining? :-(

This!! If the historic districts were actually for preservation of neighborhood character things would be pretty sweet. Instead they are against rotting old sheds (not even that Liberty house, literally sheds)

Weird to see a historic district advocate arguing against permitting mixed use in historic neighborhoods that were historically mixed use. It’s almost like historic preservation isn’t the actual goal … #a2council

Honestly I got tired of the echo chamber so I don’t watch the hashtag anymore.

it also includes a short Bremer wall which I didn't expect would make its way to Ann Arbor.

I would love to meet the people who were like "yes, we want a car bunker as an ADU". It's kinda cool but also woah.

That said the design was pretty ugly

How do we get them out?

I tried the diving tablet in the shower but then I stopped having shower thoughts, so that was a wash :-(

Nextdoor post by [redacted]: “I think we are over building these things. I understand rents have come down significantly in many of them. We own student rents and charge affordable rents that are now competing with those high rises so that we as independent landlords are having trouble getting tenants in our houses.

You love to see it #A2Council.

In 2022 (back when #Twitter was still a thing), I had made this #meme about the state of #urban #climate #research based on an #xkcd comic.

With all the recent changes in the #publication and #funding spaces due to the #AI + #machinelearning hype cycle, here is an updated version.

“…significantly reduced the rate at which BART service crews have had to clean up vandalism and what the agency internally refers to as ‘very large messes’…cleanup that generally requires staff to pull in larger bins and different types of cleaning products. The data, Trost said, was ‘shocking’.”

Michigan's Housing Reform Bills Are the Real Deal Michigan is short 119,000 homes. A bipartisan package of nine bills would actually fix that. Here's why they matter, why they're under attack, and how to fight back.

This is a *really* excellent explanation / discussion on the housing bill package currently being discussed in Lansing www.nathanbiller.com/blog/housing...

If I ever get rich I’ll pay to restart the 76x, maybe the best bus route in the nation

“is there a technology that the left is excited about?”

Yes, but this kind of smart, energy efficient, all-electric, heat generating machine is illegal in the US and Canada.

here's a python rewrite of a small but powerful tool by @juho.snellman.net that has saved me many hours over the years.

ported to python to make it a bit easier to install in my typical workflow, and i also made some adjustments for ergonomics.

Grosssssss. This is white feminism in a nutshell. “Oh the concentration camp is okay because women work there.” DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF?
