This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:
"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.
Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
That’s what we have to change.

Productive week of painting between 10 flesh hounds, 5 reapers, 2 more stealth suits, 11 Tau Pathfinders, and Darkstrider! #Nerdlings #minipainting
Everything was painted up for 4 player game of #OPR tomorrow.

What's going on in MPLS makes clear that pretty much all of US immigration and anti-terrorism policy needs to be rolled back, and DHS needs to be deconstructed starting with ICE. Everyone in the organization needs to be investigated and face charges, with no exceptions for "just following orders."

Painted up my desert rock terrain from @corvusgamesterrain.bsky.social in prep for a game of #OnePageRules tomorrow. Did my best to match the tones of the rock I saw in Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park! #wargaming #Nerdlings

Test model for my next set of Tau stealth suits. Ghost shrimp from Pipermakes. Really prefer this to the standard model, probably helps that I have a year of painting experience in between! #Nerdlings #Warhammer #OPR #Tau #minipainting

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

As I never tire of reminding people, the two plausible alternatives to automated traffic enforcement are that we either rely on the discretion of individual police officers or we simply don't enforce traffic laws at all. We have been trying both alternatives now and they are failing us.
See also: debates about speed cameras.
There's a problematic reflex among some progressive reformers to move from "conventional criminal legal responses are bad" to something too close to "accountability in general is bad."
I think (as Jamelle argues here) it's rooted in not thinking abt victims.

It's that time of year in #Denver where everyone forgets to shovel their sidewalk. If only we could just make this another function of the city to maintain its infrastructure like we do our roads.

Been dipping my toe into writing initial startup code for an nRF51 and wow is this header file barebones. You get register structs and macros for casting from the base address, but no fields or masking. STMicro sure has spoiled me! I ended up writing my own vector table struct even 😬

Anyone experience this issue with #Garmin sleep score where it thinks I slept for 32 hours? (but has the right time range though certainly not the right stages). I have a 3 year old Garmin Instinct 2. I've seen this happen about once per week for the last month

Managed to get a Catalan copy of Mistborn book 1 and my brain is fried after 4 pages. Probably should've picked something easier but this is the hockey stick part of language learning I guess 😅

In 2023, we won the Build Public Renewables Act — a groundbreaking law empowering NYS to speed up the clean energy transition and lower your bills with publicly-owned power.
Today is the deadline to tell the New York Power Authority that we need a plan for 15 GW by 2030. Take urgent action below.
