Lmao 15 years into this project and they are bragging about hopefully finishing the environmental approvals within the next two years. Bring back Robert Moses.

CA High-Speed Rail ๐Ÿš„๐Ÿ’จ
@CaHSRA
Weโ€™ve cleared 422 of the nearly 500 miles of environmental work for the California HSR project! Later this year, we plan to bring the Palmdale to Burbank section forward for board approval. Once approved, we will have cleared from downtown SF to LA Union Station. #FactFriday

It's funny how little of this "environmental review" actually has to do with the environment in any serious way

I fucking love science (A CEQA-mandated 187-page report about "aesthetics and visual quality", required for moving the high-speed rail project forward)

I met a dude yesterday who's almost 40 and has never had a job in his entire life. I feel like LA is one of maybe a handful of cities on planet Earth where you could meet a person like that.

a classic NIMBY move: when an actual developer shows strong intent to build a particular level of density, spend ten mins mocking up an alternative with fewer units, brag about how "amazing green gentle density with 50% affordable units" it is, even though it would never pencil

Lots of benefits to this model of development for Jericho lands in Vancouver. 50% affordable is completely possible. The video is here. jerichocoalition.org

one last thing about the insane DeSantis ad: it shows the hard limits of the nihilistic, always vaguely ironic, โ€œhaha you canโ€™t take a jokeโ€ mindset of the extremely online when it comes to actual political practice.

It's difficult to overstate the damage this ad is causing Ron DeSantis right now. His team is frantically working the phones as @GOP groups like LCR condemn DeSantis as a raging homophobe. What a massive, inexplicable misfire. twitter.com/DeSantisWarRooโ€ฆ

A major child labor rollback goes into effect in Iowa this weekend. 14 year-olds are now allowed to work in meat coolers, 15 year-olds can join assembly lines and 16 year-olds can serve alcohol. In a few weeks, similar rollbacks take effect in Arkansas. who13.com/news/new-iowa-

Starlink being totally useless except for the Ukranian war effort is very funny. Elon has exactly one real client and he hates their guts.

Brief midyear movie-biz thread: It is hard to overstate the degree to which Hollywood is now looking to three movies--Mission: Impossible 7, Barbie, and Oppenheimer--not only to succeed, but to solve industry problems that no three films can solve. 1/

It is absolutely incredible that nobody in the Democratic Party ever says "ya know, maybe the universities are partially to blame for student loan costs since they're the ones charging $100,000 for a creative writing MFA at Columbia"

Just a bizarre conception of voting to me. The whole point of a democracy is that there is no Final Election that solves everything. Thereโ€™s just a (hopefully) unending series of them where you get to keep weighing in.

What does this mean? Organize who? To do what? And how? It feels like โ€œorganizeโ€ is the lefty panacea for all ills without an actual thought about what that means or looks like. (Beyond holding meetings about how everyone is a gentrifier but them)

There is no method of political change---whether voting, organizing, activism, revolution, bribery, etc---that has a state of total and complete victory. All human social organization is pushing uphill against entropy. That's just how it be.

Elon gets so much clout for being CEO of 4 companies at the same time just because he filed them independently instead of as subsidiaries of SpaceX (which, if weโ€™re being honest, thatโ€™s what they are). Sundar oversees like 50+ companies in the Alphabet portfolio but nobody cares
