Quite sad we’ve seemingly given up on land use reform (upzoning), bus lanes, bike lanes, etc.

When Wu was elected 4 years ago she had clear tangible policy goals, but I’m honestly unsure what they are now (maintain status-quo?)
Michelle Wu seems like kind of a disaster for housing in Boston – very little progress on land use reforms, and supporting a quite draconian statewide rent control regime (rent hikes that can be below inflation, vacancy controls, only a 10-year exemption for new construction)? Yikes
Wu Backs Rent Control, Rejects Citywide Rezoning
Boston's mayor threw her support behind a ballot question legalizing rent control, while rejecting any moves to legalize denser housing in single-family districts.

San Diego rents fall 5.5%—proof that building housing works.

Add 6,000 apartments, prices drop.

This eases pressure on voucher programs, helps low-income renters, makes the city more accessible.

Want sustained affordability? Keep building.

Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, "listen mate, life has surface noise."

Alright… I’ll leave the music here.

Where the melody don’t rush, where it circles back and holds the note just long enough for you to feel it settle in. Not new. Just… staying.

That’s when you know it’s real.
Because it keeps its shape.

Til then, keep the songs going.
And the signal human.

The Man Who Fell to Earth
"Television. The strange thing about television is that it - doesn't *tell* you everything. It *shows* you everything about life on Earth, but the true mysteries remain. Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space."

Re-Watching Bone Tomahawk (2015)!

With every old west movie, I'm starting to believe that the old west was actually a pretty terrible time and place to live. You go to town & gunslingers bully & demean you, you're lucky if you don't get shot, and medical treatment is a booze wash & amputation!
