Whelp Chekov's table saw finally struck. Wasn't a finger activation. I was making a high angle miter cut (78 degrees) and I knew I needed to stop the cut before the blade contacted the back of the miter gauge... But alas.

The miter gauge is barely scratched.

Move over zucchini lady, this guy calling 'bike lanes white lanes' and calling the Terner Center the 'Gentrification Center' is my new favorite Berkeley Council moment. #berkmtg

This is the new neighborhood association I'm helping start! We're having our first public event tonight to talk about housing in Elmwood.
Just sent out a jam packed mail!

If you’re in the Elmwood area - join the community forum tonight (7 pm at the Willard Park Clubhouse)! www.wecan.city/housingforum

I was a yes, yes, no on this. But luckily @alanakinrich.medsky.social was a no, no, yes.

We have such a complementary (and gendered) relationship 💜

It's fun when your beach reading book and your holiday location line up so well.

Earthquake! Took a while for USGS to update and I thought I was going crazy or my house was (individually) falling apart.

Welcome to YIMBY @hankgreen.bsky.social !
One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.

Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

Be a housing fan.

Berkeley Marina when?
I’m one of many who believe our Vancouver waterfront should have more things to go to. Here’s one I’ve been advising & helping with— HAVN now has a proposed site in Vancouver for a floating sauna boat. They have one in Victoria already. I’ve experienced similar in Helsinki & Oslo! www.havnsaunas.com

It's looking like one of those episodes of Clone Wars where you think something cool is going to happen but instead it's an inexplicable Jar Jar episode.

At a meeting about whether we're going to build housing for young families like us. An elderly NIMBY got mad at @alanakinrich.medsky.social for 'being distracting' by breastfeeding our baby in the reserved seats in the front. In case you're wondering who they think should be part of this process.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Remember, Zohran's primary win doesn't count because RCV isn't democratic. Also his general win doesn't count because if you took all of Silwa's votes and reallocate 100% to their presumed second choice and also somehow come up with another 2%....

This is great and all but it's also a damning indictment of NYC housing policies over the last 55 years.
BREAKING: Democrat Zohran Mamdani is elected Mayor of New York City, in the largest turnout vote since 1969. first Muslim and immigrant mayor of New York City, and the first Muslim to be elected mayor of a major U.S. city. ✅

huge upset vs Elon, Donald who backed Cuomo. trump will blame Biden. 🤣
