A 104 percent tariff on China raises the cost to build battery energy storage systems by 58 percent. Since this article was published yesterday, the tariffs have now increased to 145 percent.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Little known Petco Park hack: You’re allowed to bring in outside food and a sealed one-liter bottle of water.

Has anyone written a technical breakdown of why Signal behaved the way it did? Specifically, why did (presumably) Jeffrey Goldberg show as JG in Mike Waltz's phone? Was that because Waltz had previously saved Goldberg as JG in his contacts? Or Goldberg had set his name to appear in Signal as JG?

See you later today. Let’s meet up, hang out, and talk about urbanism today, while we support our friends @bikesd.bsky.social and support small business.

The Orange Thing is in the process of wrecking the tourism industry in the U.S., and San Diego will pay a high price through lower TOT and lower sales tax revenues.

Some updates on our client: @immdef.bsky.social went to his imm court hearing Monday and received confirmation from ICE that he has been “removed” to El Salvador. The Judge asked “how has he been removed if there is no removal order?” And the ICE attorney responded that they did not know.

This goes so far beyond politics. I'm just morally disgusted to be living in a country that is behaving like this.

NEW: I emailed the band. “We broke up with him first. We quit Twitter in 2022 when he was only half a Nazi. Then someone else took our handle, pretending to be our official account, so we filed a legal complaint to put a stop to that—which is why @dropkickmurphys shows as suspended."

You can see here on the Internet Archive the Dropkick Murphy's account was suspended back to June 2024. I am again begging staff reporters to learn basic X tech literacy stuff. Did anyone reach out to the band? Unverified online rumors are not a good news source. web.archive.org/web/20240617...

Decent rainfall totals today, as of 4:17 p.m., nothing amazing. The next storm, however, should be much wetter. The weather service says from Wednesday night to Friday morning, the valleys should get another 1 to 1.5 inches of rain, and San Diego should get 0.7 to 1 inch. #sandiegoweather #CAwx

Feels good to have a member of Congress with some actual principles.

Under this theory, Marco Rubio can expel Canadians who say “you should stop threatening to annex Canada.”

I just went to the immigration detention center at Guantanamo Bay. Thousands of service members are guarding empty tents, there are fewer than 4 dozen immigrants there, and they have to import all supplies except for water and power. This isn’t worth the cost or the cruelty.

Some good transit news, MTS Board will likely vote to buy the vacant property at the intersection of Clairemont Mesa Blvd and Complex Dr to build an actual Kearny Mesa Transit Center.

Was just there on Friday. A San Diego treasure!

-A law to prohibit housing: we need it in 90 days. -A law to allow housing: staff needs two years to draft, two years for an EIR, then a year of community outreach, then hearings before commissions and committees, and then maybe it gets to the council.

Daniel Horton, chief of staff for Councilmember Henry Foster III, said projects built under the program "resemble slave quarters or camps."

. @acbowen.bsky.social shows journalists all over San Diego that it is in fact possible to report on ADUs outside of the "_____ project raises concerns" paradigm

If you're an REI member, you can vote to toss out the board that's endorsed Trump's candidate for Dept. of Interior and has worked to stop REI unions. Vote runs until May 2nd. Spread the word. vote.escvote.com/REI/

I might have to make some new travel plans! New Copa Airlines route from San Diego to Panama!

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

Facebook is actively inserting random right-wing/Republican content into my news feed. Here's a recent example. Neither I nor anyone I know follows Greg Abbott's Facebook page yet this is right there next to updates from people I actually follow.

Elon Musk employed undocumented immigrants to build his business properties in Texas www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

The U.S. State Department has deleted the words "gender-based violence" from its websites and replaced it with "M/F-based violence," because under the Trump administration, the concept of "gender" is now a thoughtcrime. Example:
