SUITS LA premiers tonight on NBC at 9 ET/PT. It’ll be on Peacock on Monday. My writing partner, @marshallnotpass.bsky.social, and I have been working on this for a while and I’m excited for people to see it!

This is fascism.

Incredible precision by the helicopter crew dropping water on the LA firea 🎯

a consolidated billionaire owned media staffed with fail-upward trust fund brunchlords does not serve the public interest, thank you for coming to my TED talk

Eric is one of the great chroniclers of LA history, neighborhoods, and transit. Give him a follow and learn a thing or two.

These people are absolutely sick. And as a result, you will be too whether you like it or not.

Most exciting diagram in State Rail Plan: Clockface headways and built-in timed transfers ❤️⌚🚄

And yet — even after the Conman/in-Chief has admitted trying to stymie transit development in order to enrich himself — places like Las Vegas and San Bernardino County continue investing in the Boring Company’s underground traffic jams/firetraps at the expense of real transit. Make it make sense.

Vital information for these trying times

Of all the existential threats of our modern era we face, climate change and artificial intelligence and the failure of information, etc, the one that threatens us the most and the most immediately is billionaires. Vampires just took over everything and we're acting like it's normal and annoying.

REMINDER: Those choosing to live in subsidized suburbs for a bigger house and yard are NOT also entitled to free-flow car traffic capacity (aka an “easy car commute”) into the city at the expense of the taxes, health, safety (hint: bike-lanes) & quality of life of city-dwellers. HT Ian Lockwood.

Last week I went around sharing my back-of-napkin #Chelsea formations to everyone who would listen. The idea was: instead of inverting a fullback into midfield, invert a winger (Nkunku or Felix) into a left sided 10 next to Palmer — and send that fullback forward to vacate the winger space…

Love to ban trans women from capitol restrooms in order to “protect women and girls” while suppressing a report about the incoming attorney general paying for the statutory rape of a minor while in congress and showing women’s nudes on the House floor

The idea that you *must* coexist with and listen to people who are cruel, unjust, and just plain unpleasant to be around is the logic of abusers, by the way

Jeez -- Sen. Markwayne Mullin defends RFK Jr's nomination by going full anti-vaxxer and questioning whether vaccines cause autism (they don't)

*pssssst* Hey You know that one project? That one you've wanted to write FOREVER except it's scary as hell & maybe you don't feel good enough or brave enough or strong enough? Spend 15 min on it today Keep the dream alive Even a pot on the back burner needs to occasionally be stirred

One of the most intriguing & misunderstood street design and place-making ideas in the world is the Dutch #Woonerf, or “living street.” When I studied woonerfs while working for the City of Groningen, I learned the key is street design that makes it impossible to drive faster than people can walk.

"I noticed that you guys don't like Nazis but if you want a really balanced worldview you should make space for Nazis and hang out with them and talk to them and WHY AREN'T YOU FRIENDS WITH ME IT'S KILKING US THAT YOU DON'T LIKE US!!!"

GET ALL OF YOUR VACCINES NOW PEOPLE.

As a driver it’s important to remember, you are not in traffic — you are traffic.

The “pro-life party” is about to kill SO many kids.

Elizabeth Warren on Tulsi Gabbard: "Do you really want her to have all the secrets of the United States and our defense intelligence agencies when she has so clearly has been in Putin's pocket? That just has to be a hard no."

My wife asks what’s up with all these ads for “Red One.” So I tell her this movie has a 39% on Rotten Tomatoes and show her this trailer. After, she turns to me and says, “That looks so stupid, we should see it in IMAX.” I knew I married the right gal.
