Just saw Train Dreams, so there ya go
Never mind movies you’ve watched multiple times, name a movie you’ve watched once and would never watch again.

Came home to find a mystery Doordash order on my doorstep for a single can of Coke. Kicking off Christmas season early this year it seems!

Passionate disagreement in my feed this morning vis-a-vis Finnish railway gauges.
In fairness, I did sign up for Bluesky knowing it would eventually come to this

FINLAND IS NOT RE-GAUGING ITS RAILWAYS
Just because an urbanist influencer has posted a 6 months old piece (that was anyway inaccurate) about it does not mean it is happening!
Finland *might* lay some additional standard gauge track from Sweden to Oulu

Sorry but I can't stand this take.
Women are getting elected to statewide office all over. Blue states and red.
Scolding people that because Clinton and Harris failed to do it, that must mean it can't be done. And it plants seeds of doubt in any other potential woman candidates. Hate it!

More than refreshing, it's the key to building a winning coalition in the future
Most establishment Dems are very invested in punching left. It’s refreshing when they do choose a different path.

Stories like this one should be more national than they tend to be
Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

"Tech barons" telling him to back off SF so they stay unaffected, but hitting Oakland is still fine by them presumably
After talking to tech barons, Trump tells Mayor Lurie he's "calling off" a "surge" of feds to SF.
It's not clear if this applies to ICE/Border Patrol or just to the Nat'l Guard. It's not clear what will befall other area cities.

While we're at it can we let every single sports broadcaster know that "mano y mano" means "hand and hand" which is not what they're going for
Not to be THAT dictionary, but…
It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Excited to finally have this project going up in my neighborhood. How many years ago was that fire at the 3300 Club?

Having seen it last night: this is very much a valid critique, but also a testament to how good Jonny Greenwood is that I enjoyed the hell out of it from start to finish anyway
I saw One Battle After Another and did not enjoy it. I am clearly the outlier but I thought the sexual politics of the film were bad. The representation of Black women revolutionaries was painful and I think the fixation on interracial sex and a mixed race character is a hackneyed trope.

I guess this means I've been participating in #weekwithoutdriving for over 20 years now in SF? That's over a thousand weeks!
Personally I love not having to worry about where my car is. Or wondering if I forgot to lock it. Or if I'm sober enough to drive it lol

Every week is a #weekwithoutdriving for my husband & me, after we went car-free more then 5 years ago. It’s really not that hard in #SanFrancisco with MUNI, BART, our e-bikes & walking. And it’s good for us AND planet so I’m happy to see others trying it!
