Los Angeles is so bad at this

Why does it always have to *monarchy* in fantasy novels?

"Military grade" because our new cabinet decided to downgrade to signal.

Single stair, 5 story, one unit per floor. That's the dream.

Thanks!

Can you point me towards any good research on coops/cohousing?

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

What am I looking at?

It is extremely important right now to demonstrate that people who believe in American democracy are not so easily cowed.

Finally got the grocery run setup.

Surfliner to LA closed for 6 weeks again for emergency bluff repairs. BUILD THE TUNNELS. DOUBLE TRACK EVERYWHERE. SUCK IT DEL MAR.

Yeah, underground but using a cut and cover method rather than a tunnel boring machine. Which should be cheaper but no one does it because it causes more traffic disruption.

I've never seen a proposal to cut and cover the trolley through downtown but it seems like it should be a good idea. Maybe I underestimate the cost involved.

It was a great deal for sure!

My standards aren't very high, but I just spent $100 on a Caad8 off craigslist (and then $280 at the shop) and I'm very happy with it. Maybe if I biked more I would want something nicer but I think for most people a cheap bike is fine.

I currently study pediatric brain cancer. If NIH policies do not change, neither myself nor the large majority of my colleagues will still be doing so a year from now.

Guest Opinion: Modal filters are cheaper and work better than speed bumps It’s time for PBOT to stop spending more for less.

Making effective bikeways is actually really cheap. Doing it the expensive way is for car convenience only. I'm grateful for the Meade Avenue roundabouts, but it would have been much cheaper (maybe 90% cheaper) and much more effective to do modal filters.
