According to this chart we are currently experiencing the lowest rate of COVID deaths since March 14, 2020. covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-t...

No spoilers, but just to say that the fictional heavy rail subways depicted allow movement between cars that proves to be very important. Had they used actual Link Light Rail vehicles… 😬 🍄

This creates some really perverse incentives. Neighborhoods can prevent housing by blocking their local frequent bus line from getting a RapidRide upgrade.

This is a portrait of an unambiguously successful policy ... www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Restoration of native grassland habitat at solar farms in the midwestern United States triples pollinator supply, increases soil carbon potential by 65%, and improves sediment and water retention. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Need this guy’s take on the walk from the terminal to the station. komonews.com/news/local/i...

This seems…amazing? www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Anne Hidalgo's wonderful vision of a city where parents can let go of their childrens' hands.

Trees, man. 10/10 no notes.

This post has breached containment in the weirdest way. I am sorry to all of the people who are relaying their tragedies in the replies, but I would like everyone to know I was referencing the famous 90s rock song Detachable Penis (King Missile, 1992).

I am sure this is a huge time saver for the parents, but boy, just policy failure on top of policy failure here (via LinkedIn).

Been thinking about how NIMBYs love to put trees and housing in opposition. But as this piece shows, it ought to be trees vs. parking. Housing, trees, parking. Pick two.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social I thought Mr. Lieber told you he had these costs under control now. 🤨

If only there were some kind of program… to reach candidates with nontraditional backgrounds… and recruit them … ah well, nevertheless.

Parker Posey has been a celebrity for 30+ years and this is the extent of her “personal life” Wikipedia. What an absolute legend.

Omg

Amtrak (Zephyr?) cruising through Winter Park, CO. Highest Amtrak station in the US.

I hate to share the news that Professor Don Shoup has passed away. He was so kind and generous with me and I’m so fortunate know that he was proud of the work I was doing to implement his policies via @parkingreform.org We lost a great one this week. 😢

Imagine ever skipping the recap for Severence.

Saka and Moore neck-and-neck for the title of worst council member. Kettle making a strong run, but he's not nearly insane enough.

Seattle friends: please sign these petitions to push back against the NIMBYs trying to keep new neighbors and adequate housing out of our communities. It takes only a few minutes to do your part! Please sign all the relevant petitions. oneseattleforall.org/petition-cou...

Incredible -- When Kamala Harris's team offered to do an in-studio interview with Joe Rogan, in Austin, and offered a specific date, his team said he had that day off. Then it turned out that he was going to do his Trump interview that day. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

The story behind RFK Jr. in Samoa's measles crisis has never been reported. He wasn't there to spread misinformation about vaccines (though he did). He wanted to study a "natural experiment" of unvaccinated kids. “I can’t imagine anything less ethical or more cruel.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

It’s quite striking.

truly maddening how this was never part of the discussion. paying nine bucks to save an hour is worth it for like 99 percent of hourly workers
