Ski mittens and goggles ftw. Also studded tires. My bike commute record is -25C, during a polar vortex in Wisconsin. With the right gear, not a problem. I’d take -25 over a rainy day any time.

Here’s the email for the DSCC: mailto:info@dscc.org. Message is simple: As long as Schumer is leader, DSCC’s requests for support are denied.

Crappy artificial fade for one thing. Cheesy length and hem for another.

Most Dem primary voters aren’t tracking Newsom’s tweets, and the 2026 election will be old news in 2028.

And some pay less. We have an EV and solar, so fuel is free. (If we had to pay the utility it would run us about $200/year.) And the only maintenance we’ve had since replacing a tire two years ago is the occasional car wash.

Much quieter than last year in Sacramento. Possibly due in part to new laws with bigger fines for illegal fireworks, in addition to the BBB.

Spot on.
Why Madison’s housing gatekeepers are getting uncomfortable
The argument that neighborhood preservation is a civic virtue treats structural exclusion as an unfortunate but immovable byproduct of planning. That narrative deserves scrutiny.

Unsurprisingly the 12 percent figure is very misleading.

Here is what downtown Sacramento looked like in 1949 before midcentury planners and traffic engineers demolished and displaced a lively and urban Chinese neighborhood.

Our heat pump water heater was about $7k before utility and tax subsidies. It costs very little to run and dehumidifies the basement as a bonus.

EXCLUSIVE: New York’s congestion pricing plan raised $48.6M in tolls during its first month, a strong start that exceeded expectations. The revenue figures, expected to be released publicly on Monday by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, are the latest sign that the tolling plan is working.

🧵 I live in Los Angeles. We have not had to evacuate and are safe, but like many people here, I have friends who have lost everything. I realize I can't combat the firehose (see what I did there?) of bullshit spewing about this disaster from internet and media sources, but I'll say this:
A phone picture looking at an apartment building with a few palm trees in front of it, near dusk. The sky is still blue, but looming behind the building in the distance is an enormous cloud of smoke from the Palisades Fire near Los Angeles. The smoke is stained orange from the sun behind it.
