Don't be screwed by high oil prices.
Pantos up!
(PR is my passion)
Man that’s crazy. Anyway here is a mug I drink at my desk at work.
Telling Jesus he'll never make it if he keeps being so hostile to wealth. Advising him to moderate his message to appeal to the Galilee suburbs
Unfunded inclusionary zoning mandates are de-facto taxes on new housing that worsen the housing shortage because they require homebuilders to rent or sell a percentage of their new homes at a loss.
Funded inclusionary zoning, on the other hand, is a great tool to economically integrate new housing.
“we do not believe this action is legally sound, and we see no choice but to challenge it in court.”
The trend shift in adults per family household is so insane.
its even more insane that every important policymaker and economist thought we were slowly soaking up a glut of homes even into the 2010s.
And it’s even more insane that there are still supply-crisis skeptics today.
Clearly their business model relies on retirees or whoever just paying the sub month after month without noticing the price increases. It’s bullshit.
I hate to say this but I might have to cancel my Bee subscription. They keep sneakily increasing my sub fee, I call to complain, they lower it and promise it will remain said price for one year and three months later the price doubles. I like a lot of the reporters there but this is just fraudulent.
CEQA reforms that help build environmentally and fiscally sustainable cities are good and necessary.
This ballot measure would just put the finger on the scale to lower the costs of building sprawl. If anything this would make it harder to densify our cities.
Just looked it up and see they’re just about to open up the next three stations. Was sorta hoping it got past Western by now.
Koreatown is like the poster child for how people get fucked up the building vs rents issue.
Ktown has seen a lot of residential dev this last decade! Like on par with the fastest growing metros in North America. It’s not seeing much in terms of benefits re: rents as West LA builds nothing!
You can’t even ask your friends with kids if they wanna go to Outside Lands. They just look at you like this.
Every couple of months or so, someone puts out a piece of bad social science meant to undermine the case for more housing. For Roosevelt Institute, I wrote a blog post responding to the two most recent specimens. rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/there-i...
Streets4All posted a two year retrospective of HLA, the City of LA ballot measure that required the city to implement the mobility and safety improvements as a part of other road projects. Big takeaway appears to be that DOT has been a huge barrier. www.streetsforall.org/blog/measure...
Why are 50,000 housing units entitled in San Francisco, but not breaking ground?
Last year, I authorized a first-of-its kind study from our city's analyst division: comparing our city's post-entitlement permitting system with other cities to understand how to fix this.
Here's what we learned:
You gotta hand it to em folks
How many portraits of east/ south Asian developmentalists could I get away with framing in my home before my girlfriend begins to protest do you think
Thinking about this framed picture of Sukarno I saw at a cafe in my neighborhood that holds Mahjong nights
Eliteness (noun): College educated Jews or whatever.
Ex: “The Tech billionaire did not have Eliteness as he was South African”
Fascinating stuff
Jane Kim is going to fight corporate greed and have California taxpayers insure these ships.
Headline of a Q&A in New Yorker formatting Headline: A panicked middle-aged man refuses to tell me directions to the bathroom. Subhed: Please, I just have to pee. I'm in a hurry. By Isaac Chotiner March 4, 2026
Excuse me. Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me. I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are. Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.
I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train. I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.
Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015? If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.
The fact that we've been denied control over the levers of social organizations in favor of the smallholder bourgeoisie and the titans of industry is why things are so fucked up!
The professional and administrative class are the revolutionary class.
I have one 12kg kettlebell and one 16kg kettlebell at present for all exercises. Using the 16 for ABCs and swings and 12 for curls (and other exercises in the past)
How many reps should I be aiming for swings?
Pushups feel necessary since I’m not really hitting my chest much anywhere else.

How I’m lookin
Had Claude whip up a new Kettlebell routine that’s simplified and anchored around ABC which I’ve read good things about.
Thoughts?
My theory about prog brain is that they’re mostly correct that there’s way too much rent seeking going on they’re just incorrect where the center of gravity is for said rent seeking at least half the time
The “state insurer” issue has the same problem as a lot of “public bank” proposals imo: the assumption that risk is overstated and there’s a huge pool of profits that a state entity could use as a buffer to lower interest/insurance rates.
