I realize almost all tech platforms are problematic in some way or another, but I don’t think I’ll be producing more content for this guy. The good news is that the urbanist ecosystem is thriving over there (bring your community!).

It makes sense: A study in Nature released last month found that X’s feed algorithm “promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media.” nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

“Closing Time” by Semisonic is playing at the dance, the fluorescent lights have come on, some jerks are trying to start a fight, and your friends are inviting you to an after party. It’s time to roll.

“Hard to describe as a journalist how grateful I am to have a text-based app that does not suppress hyperlinks. I don’t know if people realize exactly how hostile the corporate internet has gotten toward news.”

🚨 Election Update: Measure FF passed! Berkeley voters just approved Measure FF, a groundbreaking measure will provide more than $250M over 14 years for street repair, repaving, and life-saving safety infrastructure. The measure was placed on the ballot by volunteer signature gatherers who collected thousands of signatures. This is a huge win and demonstrates both broad support for safer streets and the effectiveness of our grassroots organizing. In addition to better maintained, smoother streets, this means we can expect more improvements such as better sidewalks, flashing beacons, raised crosswalks, traffic calming, protected bike lanes, landscaping, and signal prioritization. To learn more about the Measure and how it will improve Berkeley’s streets, visit YesonFF.com! With about two thirds of votes counted, Measure FF has received more than 60% approval. Although more votes have yet to be counted, this incredibly positive result indicates that it’s clear FF has passed! From beginning to end, this campaign was a truly community-driven, grassroots endeavor. Thank you to every volunteer who gathered signatures, canvassed, put up a lawn sign, and talked to family or neighbors about the measure. Our collective voices and actions will lead to real change on Berkeley’s streets to make them safer, more accessible, more sustainable, and smoother — all while avoiding greater maintenance obligations in the future. You did it!

Fun fact: Seattle's transportation levy, Prop 1 now has over 250,000 yes votes. That's more than any Seattle level politician. And it won in almost every neighborhood across the city — take a look at this map. Talk about a mandate!
