Along with a member of his NYPD security detail. Apparently, asking for the arresting party to produce a warrant is crossing a red line that triggered his own arrest. Checks and balances continue to unravel at a break-neck pace.

As I stepped away from following the news during my recent medical leave, I finally understood why so many people don't seem concerned at all. If you aren't (yet) immediately affected, life feels pretty normal. Other than higher prices, the massive societal shifts rn are largely invisible. 1/

Mostly irrelevant but still endearing Judge Charles Breyer fact: He’s an avid bicyclist in San Francisco and attended last year’s 4 Star Theatre screening of “Breaking Away” co-hosted by me & @grantmarek.bsky.social on his road bike. ⚖️ 🚴 💯

Several of California’s biggest — and most expensive — cities are preparing to legalize single-stair buildings in advance of statewide reform. You love to see it.

Gotta meet voters where they are a quarter into the 21st century. Social media campaigns - people spend time there, greater reach than in-person or broadcast TV. Don't knock it till you've tried it!

I know this is local news, but if you’re watching the NYC mayoral debate, the moderators look like they’re about to lose their fucking minds and it’s incredible.

Did your state senator vote for SB 79, to create more housing near transit? Take a minute to call, email, or mail a note to thank them. I can tell you from experience this so rarely happens. More often electeds hear from constituents angry about votes. Thank yous are so important!

SB 79 just passed the CA State Senate with minimum required votes. A lot of senators took hard votes tonight, stood up to a lot of NIMBY pressure, to legalize housing where it matters most. Change is hard, but change CAN happen.

this will be the most transformative housing bill in the history of California, and it’s getting close to passing if you live in CA, call your state senator and tell them to vote YES on SB79 for the climate, for equity, for housing affordability, and for good vibes

The answer to this riddle, the common thread that explains all the "palatial" architecture away from the boarding area, is that machines — turnstiles, lifts, ticketing etc. — deserve 24/7 protection. This handiwork by (an) apathetic bureaucrat(s) relegates actual human users to afterthought status.

Conservatives' view of "masculinity" is so profoundly weird, vain, and self-serving. Every time they talk about manliness, it's at best a list of easy-to-do performative nonsense like this, or more usually a litany of hostile and immature traits. What a pathetic way to define yourself.

“The general idea [of Public trust doctrine] is that the public has a right to the space where water moves. ... [It] honors the nature of the ocean, rather than the demands of private property.” Don't coastal property owners have a vested interest in speeding up climate change and sea-level rise? 🤔

Until "free market" proponents can prove that companies don't always move to kill people and workers if it will make a profit, they can stick their "we need to cut red tape" takes up their arse.

The number of journalist in this piece who draw the line at “letting AI do the writing” but are fine with “letting AI do the thinking” makes me want to walk into the ocean. This is how you lose your edge — and the war on our industry as executives try to replace us.

Plenty naïve to think this plan comes from a place of ignorance. (Internet's been around for 30+ yrs. Also, do they not go on business trips abroad? 𝗡𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀.) The only concl. left to make of this odd inefficiency is that the aim of these mobility "innovations" is to 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦, 𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦, and 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦.
