I’m always a little hopeful, but deep down I know Trump sees learning as beneath him and a job for other people - anyone following the war even casually would have realized no later than the day Prigozhin’s plane went down that Putin is on a one-way trip

In 2015 I wrote a blog saying that we should allow Uber to operate in Princeton because taxicab companies were totally ripping us off. We did allow Uber, and now, mysteriously, the fares charged by traditional taxicab companies have dropped a lot. Interesting!! walkableprinceton.com/2015/01/08/p...
Princeton Should Take A Light Touch On ‘Uber’-style Car Service
Since Uber quietly launched in New Jersey last year, an increasing number of local residents are finding that it offers a very interesting alternative to traditional cab companies. Users can reserv…

And I’m so happy that the First Nations involved have stuck with the plan through years of BS opposition (not a small amount of it coming from folks who virtue signaled about unceded land while also fighting essentially any use of this returned territory)
Truly amazing that Indigenous people are going to triple the population of Vancouver’s West Point Grey neighborhood, adding 25,000 residents with provisions for SkyTrain expansion. More of this, please.

Seriously, if you live in Vancouver, please vote tomorrow…and please consider voting for Lucy, because we genuinely need progressive voices of reason on city council!
Ken Sim is pointing the finger, when he should be getting shovels in the ground.
We need more homes - of ALL kinds, in ALL places, for ALL people.
I will fight Ken Sim's cruel ban on supportive housing, and for more of the deeply affordable homes we need, all over the city.

Fun fact: Babe Ruth hit at least 11 inside-the-park home runs
Yes, parks were bigger. Yes, gloves got better. But the fact remains that this big dude swinging a three-pound bat scored on a fair ball more often than Mantle, or Mays, or Rickey Henderson (who only hit one IPH in his career)

Just in case this hasn’t been said 940,000 times already: the Trump admin made a deliberate choice to announce the tariffs tomorrow, not today, because the whole scenario sounds too much like an April Fool’s prank as it is
