All kinds of Malthusian nonsense on the internet about how California is incompatible with this level of human settlement etc. This is fascist ideology masking itself in environmentalist terms.
We can build buildings out of less flammable material. We can build in higher density, rewilding suburban areas. We can severely restrict fossil fuel use in LA County.
We have the resources, they are just not distributed fairly.

Folks remembering #AaronSwartz today - remember that he was moving publicly-funded research out from behind a paywall.
Then remember the only reason the case went forward is because federal prosecutors, specifically Carmen Ortiz and Stephen Heymann, wanted to make an example of him.
“Theft is theft, and it doesn’t matter if you use a crowbar or a computer” were Heymann’s words at the time.
Notice how federal prosecutors aren’t bullying Sam Altman for the wholesale theft of content network-wide, to build a machine that spews bullshit and further destroys our ability to determine the truth?
It’s because he’s doing it for private profit, while Aaron worked for the public good.
Never let yourself be tricked into believing the legal system is a justice system.

more than anything, this cruelty reads as performative - making a big show of "turning anti-woke" to please his new master. and his pathetic whining on rogan completes the picture: this is a man who has some idea just how widely hated he is, knows his empire is crumbling, believes in nothing but his own self-preservation, and is kissing the old-new oligarch's ring to save himself.

As mentioned a few days ago, I wrote a post that might read like yet another manifesto, when in fact it's a series of choices that I have either already gone through, or am about to.
In general, it's a mid-long term plan that I want to follow to regain sanity.

I voted my conscience on the two proposals with the assumption that other people will have the opportunity to do the same. I didn't try to overthink from other people's perspective, which is something I tend to do. I'm voting my own perspective, and I hope others do the same.

Following up yesterday's post: here is the same view of Varick Street by the Holland Tunnel, as seen today (Friday) at 5pm. Normally at this time my office is filled with a symphony of horns honking and traffic managers screaming at drivers. To see this and hear mostly silence at 5pm on a Friday would have been unthinkable even a week ago.
Needless to say, I am 100% sold on congestion pricing in New York City.
