Controlling the side effects and stopping the protein from getting chewed up too quickly by the liver were the non-trivial part.

The time between when scientists isolated glp1 agonists and when they thought: "let's inject this into people to modulate their metabolism" was within a couple of years

The "vocal right-wing intellectual NIH funded scientist at top school" pool is so small that I think i can make a pretty good guess as to who he's corresponding with, lol

Somebody else said it first, but "Reconstruction Democrats" feels like a good branding.

It's funny because the laws of negative polarization mean that congestion pricing just became 20 points more popular

Can't build much housing if your guy is cranking up the price building materials by picking unprovoked fights with our allies, and his lackey is ripping the wires out of the US economy

I get that he's focused on his fentenyl legislation, but he's gonna have to figure out this transit funding situation pretty quickly here. Those are larger cuts for 2027 are going to be pretty apocalyptic

Rome has some really nice bike infrastructure: wide, fully concrete seperated bike lanes. Unfortunately, the coverage is super spotty and they can often spit you out onto some crazy streets

The 14 and 14R on Mission are the highest ridership line pairs in SF post covid, approx 47K in Sep 2023.
The 49 is likely the highest single line ridership bus in the US with 38K riders in Oct 24.
The 14, 14R and 49 run together on a significant portion of Mission Street.

Great piece, Jane. I'm pretty confident that the large urbanist majorities in eastern SF seen in prop K and on JFK would hold for a broader safe streets measure (ala LA's HLA)

A majority of SF voters have voted to give additional funds to MUNI twice in the last 4 years, and both have failed because of this sort of nonsense or worse

That's not really the point they're making in the article either, so I'm confused by this editorial choice
