Take equal parts outrage, cute animals, and puns, and spread evenly over the day. Opinions my own, not my employer's.

The Pitt is so good. Tonight's episode hit harder than anything I've watched since ER 20 years ago.

Nothing makes you lose faith in humanity faster then watching people try to parallel park for half an hour

The kids are alright β€” pushing back against Palo Alto’s hard pathway to tracking that only starts in 9th grade. Will school boards in California continue to fail our students by making advanced math only available to those who can afford to buy it? midpenpost.org/2023/08/27/stud

My kid's attending a nature camp next week, and I have to sign a form for permission for her to ride in a van to go to a field site one mile away.

1 mile.

There is a nice, accessible public trail that to leads directly from the camp to the field site. But they are piling 24 kids into 3 vans, driving them 2 minutes, then unpiling, and then doing it all over again in reverse.

I know it's a small thing but if a nature camp can't see what's wrong here, I fear we really are doomed.

sigh.

It's wonderful to live in a self-styled "transit-first" and "climate leader" city, where the transit agency's very first point in an email providing updates on a #transit #publictransit improvement project is that they "have substantially increased replacement parking" along the corridor. #SloganFirstCity

This will be a very cool entryway into Sunnyvale from Caltrain/the transit mall when it is completed. Only thing that would make it better is taking the tiny surface lot off Frances and turning into more housing with ground level retail so Francis can be a better pedestrian space.

Crazy new #urbanist idea: retail parking cash out. If a store validates parking they're required to give anyone who doesn't validate their parking a discount equivalent to the value of the subsidized parking.

Today I saw an SFPD cop giving out traffic tickets, which I’m fairly certain has never happened before
