It's do or die for SB 79, the bill that would legalize multifamily housing around rail and BRT stops across the state. The vote could be held as early as tomorrow morning. Californians: call your state senator tomorrow morning to help us get out of the senate! cayimby.org/legislation/...

Made this recipe tonight, it’s absolutely a favorite. Pretty easy prep, legit one pot on the stove for like 20 minutes. Make sure you have some bread and oil on the side! (I don’t care who the recipe is from, it works and make good food.) food52.com/recipes/3014...

He did save his sister. He also immediately asked if he had missed the Super Bowl. I guess I have a reason to root for Philly now, because I just want this kid to be happy. abc7.com/post/daddy-d...

Nothing will get you out of the winter doldrums like an exercise challenge! Consider running (or walking) the 140-over-90 Challenge to raise funds for the Preeclampsia Foundation! 140 miles over 90 days is totally do-able, even if you’re not a runner. runsignup.com/Race/FL/Melb...

Thank you #Ravens for a great season. That was a tough loss, but loved how the team kept getting better all year. It was fun to watch this year and even more fun that my son is getting into it now too! Hard for it to end but it was a great experience.

In the UK, auto insurance prices dropped 16% in a year. A big reason: Lower urban speed limits Industry analyst: "Areas where 20mph zones have been introduced result in lower levels of claim frequency – a key factor in the cost of car insurance."

I have to say, I'm happy for Commanders fans. I didn't realize that they hadn't been to an NFC championship game since 1991. Congratulations Washington, great to see the upset win today!

"That percentage is even higher among young respondents in suburban and rural areas, 53% of whom said they would be at least somewhat willing to give up car ownership." Suburban and rural people under 35 aspire to living car-free. Let that sink in. Read more at: www.miamiherald.com/news/busines...

Today I got updates on all my 311 complaints that they checked the address and found no code violations. No kidding! It was sunny and upper 30s Sunday and sunny / 40 on Monday, of course it melted. I guess I’ll have to get out there earlier next time 😕

As a businessperson, you want to ask yourself how you got to the point where people feel it would be virtuous to stop using your product

Let’s go Ravens! 2nd half was more competitive than I preferred and Lamar did look a little banged up, but very happy with the W in the playoffs and always great to beat the Steelers. #RavensFlock
