Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

We don’t dismiss plane crashes as the “cost of living.” We act. Vision Zero asks us to do the same on our streets: to design and manage them so that when mistakes happen, they don’t lead to death.
The freedom to move safely through our communities should not be a gamble.

Crime is down in Boulder.
But that’s not how it feels to some of our neighbors.
The disconnect? Much of the public concern is about visible suffering, not crime.

As part of Thursday’s study session, Council discussed inclusionary housing fees on demolitions and major renovations. Councilmember Wallach shared questions in advance. Director of Housing & Human Services Kurt Firnhaber responded. I think it’s worth unpacking some of it. (thread)

As I've been saying for about 20 years (and at the risk of sounding insensitive to the real pain this is going to cause), there's never been a better day than today to become a minimalist.

I launched a comedy podcast today. ladymondegreen.us
Episode 1: Begin at the End. Philip gets stung by a bee and performs his own eulogy.
Episode 2: The Eulogy Part 2: Let Us Pray. Philip explains why he's probably burning in hell and prays to God for mercy on his soul.

I finished watching Apple TV's Shrinking season 2. Loved the show on the balance. I'm not a therapist and so I think that probably makes it much easier for me to enjoy the show. But as a foot soldier in the war on cars, I'm disappointed about how Brett Goldstein's character is treated.
