I am sure Steve Hilton is already organizing a press conference about this boondoggle /s

By the end of the year, the Iran war will most likely cost more than all of California High-speed Rail (Phase 1) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It is ironic how many people oppose speed cameras because of supposed mass surveillance, but are totally onboard with AVs.

Why doesn't California have a public transit or rail agency at the state level? If we want to be serious about building better infrastructure, we cannot afford to outsource everything to consultants

Yes -- when it comes to the Marina, the most iconic thing I can think of is for sure that Safeway

Didn't you just effectively kill the K line southern extension, and choose the worst path for the northern extension to satisfy your donors?

Meanwhile, he probably spent a day thinking about which flooring to use in the ballroom that will never be built...

He should run for DNC chair or something

Our national forests are a treasure. The Trump admin's gutting of the US Forest Service & threats to sell off national forests to states or even corporations puts these ecosystems at risk & can contribute to elevating wildfire dangers. It's an attack on science-based stewardship of public lands.

Can you explain why it matters that it is 5 stories, not 4?

A good extension of this design would be to also convert the underground section of the T to automated light metro. The T line will quickly reach capacity in it current form if it is extended north, requiring either larger stations or automated trains.

This is great! Transfers are not an issue, if the connection can be made easily

The golf courses would also be great spots to build publicly-owned housing

Similar to how it is much easier to believe California's highspeed rail project costs so much because of corruption, and not because the US is just bad at and relatively inexperienced in building public transit projects

I hate how in North America grade separations -- even for rural and low-traffic roads -- always include shoulders

Hank Green recently made this video about how land animals essentially evolved by trapping ocean water inside their skin www.youtube.com/watch?v=On2V...

Nothing feels more free than not being able to breathe /s

I don't think meat was a very common staple in pre-industrial China. It is not like Europeans used to eat it every day either. And many diseases involving animal products are caused by factory farming, which is also a new "invention".

Yet, if you look at some social media sites, people claim there are power outages in California all the time 🤦‍♀️

It is not so much an issue of DST, but some counties are just in the wrong time zones.
