go.bsky.app/HVLZoBr Re-sharing because I’m extending the scope to DFW rather than just Dallas!
First batch of folks added to the Dallas Urbanism/Transit starter pack- let me know who else need to be in! Dallas-area journalists who write about transportation and housing policy in DFW *especially* welcome.

man we should bring back the pamphlet
Hey historians 🗃️: Do you know of presses that publish short books (around 30K words / 90 pages plus notes)? I have been working on an article project that could easily turn into an great micro-history of that length, but I'm not sure it would make it to the usual full 60-90K words...

The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza.

The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.
NEW: Brad Lander says he wants a trial, not a deal to drop his charge stemming from an arrest by ICE.

One of many reasons why I won't play the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" game with MTG.

Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is just a different enemy. I can have more than one.

The suburban transit agencies trying to secede from Dallas's DART are basing their plans on unrealistic visions of "microtransit." Nearby Arlington, Texas already shows the limits of that. Good @dallasobserver.com piece. www.dallasobserver.com/news/dart-co...
What Will Replace DART if Cities End Their Contracts?
Two cities allowing voters to elect to leave DART in May have offered microtransit systems as an alternative. They're flawed.

Have we considered the possibility that the pop tart mascots are but heads of a pop tart hydra and each time we slay one, more take its place
BREAKING: We’re getting six (!) edible mascots at this year’s @poptartsbowl.com!

- six edible mascots, three on Team Sprinkles and three on Team Swirls

- fans get to vote on which mascot team to sacrifice to Mouth Heaven at game’s end, the biggest edible mascot sacrifice EVER

A chance to boycott both at the same time!
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.

The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

It is, in fact, possible to condemn the Israeli genocide and US complicity without flirting with crypto-Nazi conspiracy theories. It just means you need to be anti-genocide as a matter of principle instead of on a case-by-case basis.

So @50501movement.bsky.social is circulating a video of a guy saying candidates "are being paid to be Israel first, to be loyal to the Zionist project and not to their constituents, not to the American people." Which is just a hairs breadth away from saying "Zionist Occupied Government." Not great!

Major announcement in just-posted board documents: DC's Metro is moving fast toward automation.

Over 15 years, Metro plans full automation & platform screen doors, which the agency says will improve safety, reliability, & travel times—at reduced costs.

I would be a lot more open to the idea of leadership using MTG tactically if they:
1) had a theory of politics that wasn't uncritical embrace
2) weren't providing cover for people like Ro Khanna who see her explicitly as a vehicle to a more "syncretic" form of politics...
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

Building new housing does not destroy neighborhoods. Single family homes are the most expensive and luxurious form of housing, which is why nearly all rich people live in them.
It’s called capitalism, comrade. Funny you’re worried about my $200k in equity but give a pass to developers who make millions by destroying neighborhoods to put in highnpriced, luxury, high density housing.

You think they’re building affordable dwellings? LOL

I agree that people who want to gamble should be forced to physically marinate in cigarette smoke and a lingering ambience of body odor and shame to do so
If gambling can’t be banned outright, it should be regulated so you can’t do it online. You should have to do it the old way, go to a dirty storefront in the worst part of town with all the other losers and hand over cash to an old guy with a layer of visible crust all over his skin.
