The people cry out for robust public transit and congestion-based tolling !
Screenshot of text. Part of a photo caption is visible: "revive downtown businesses and keep workers returning to the city core each day." The headline and byline read: "To revive downtown Sacramento, city leaders must fix the commute | Opinion" "Justin Pressfield"

😱 (sac bee jan 20 1910)
Screenshot of old newspaper clip: Headline: "SPEED ORDINANCE DIES ON BLOCK" Subhed: "POLICE LET AUTO SCORCHERS GO AS THEY PLEASE WITHOUT OBJECTION." Body text: "Repeated complaints have been made that automobiles are breaking the speed ordinances right along, especially on L, M and N Streets. "No attempt is being made by the police to keep the machines within the laws. No arrests have been made for many months, although the violations of the city ordinance number hundreds a day."

I think about this paragraph from a 2019 Harper's Bazaar story by @melaniehamlett.bsky.social all the time
Screenshot of text (the final sentence about getting a call is highlighted): “Men don’t usually put the effort into maintaining friendships once they’re married,” Johnson says. “The guys at work are the only people other than me that my husband even talks to, so when some of these men retire, they expect their wives to be their source of entertainment and even get jealous that they have a life.” Johnson jokes that women her mom’s age seem to be waiting for their husbands to die so they can finally start their life. “I’ll get a call saying so-and-so kicked the bucket and sure enough, his widow is on a cruise around the world a week later with her girlfriends.”

The grant-funded crosswalk project kills two birds with one stone? No:
Screenshot of text (first sentence is cut off in the image): "and South Natomas. "The grant-funded crosswalk project feeds two dogs with one bone: beautifying the neighborhood and using a proven method for enhancing road safety."

apparently ai is so smart it has figured out a way to mine grain
Screenshot of text, with text between asterisks highlighted: "As humans, we constantly generate patterns: in the sequence of our genes, the beating of our hearts, the repetitive motion of our muscles and joints. Everything about us, from the cellular level to the way our bodies move through space, is a source of *grist for A.I. to mine.* Ans so it's no surprise that, as the power of the technology has grown, some of its most startling new abilities lie in its perception of us: our physical forms, our behavior and even our psyches."

Surely "doofi" would be the plural?
Screenshot of the following text: “He doesn’t know anything!” Chan texted back to Milstein. She did not defend the councilmember. And Chan went on. “I will be here to support you however you need,” he said. “These doofus’ (doofusi????) are going to beg you to stay, you watch?”

In 1961, a San Francisco psychiatrist had to drive through Sacramento & this is what he wrote in the Sacramento Union
Screenshot of text: "All reality testing boundaries will be lost. He will be unable either to act or not to act. "Total rage and impotence will finally be replaced by confusion, apathy and deep fatigue."
