an increase in the use of force against Palestine may happen

It may also happen under Kamala.

All of this "Kamala might be better than Biden or Trump on genocide" is purely based on vibes and not based on anything she's ever done or said.

Dawg they're wiping out Palestine now, under a Democrat. Acting like there's any daylight between Trump and Kamala in terms of what they actually do is just liberal cope.

Painting a rainbow on the side of the bomb doesn't make it any less of a bomb.

Erika is genderfluid and uses they/them pronouns.

All in the name of South Floridian votes. The Dems will (hopefully) eventually realize they lost that state years ago and stop doing dumb shit for votes.

Who knows, though? The American empire's thirst for blood and foreign suffering often seems bottomless.

It's Idaho, so I can only assume someone with MAGA brainworms will attempt to roll coal through the middle of it in a giant lifted truck.

Based comes from Lil B...

It originally meant grounded.

Baseball was a secondary goal in the construction of Dodger Stadium. The primary goal was to get rid of a bunch of brown people who lived too close to downtown for whitey to handle.

When you understand that, the giant parking lot makes tons of sense.

I've worked for tech companies in SV and I've never seen a developer without a MacBook.

Yeah I don't expect there are many tech employees working with Windows Thinkpads.

Right. But Caltrain has had multiple full shutdowns over the last couple of years during the catenary installation. If they aren't able to maintain the tracks with that much shutdown time it's worrying.

I was in SF this past week and took Caltrain down to Redwood City and back. I rode one of the express Baby Bullets, which is as fast as the diesel-electrics go. (The electric trains were sitting there at 4th and King, mocking me.) Let me tell you, I do not know how they think they can run HSR on this track in the state that it's in. This is far and away the bumpiest ride I've ever had on Caltrain, and I used to commute on it twice a day for two years. I'm actually concerned about the state of the track. It's great that they've run the wire, but I anticipate strict speed limits if they ever get the high speed rolling stock up from LA.

 

...and the NLRB agrees with them.

Seems like Nexstar is just trying to stall out the clock until there's another Republican in the White House who can gut the NLRB.

 

The gist is that Portland drivers couldn't stop hitting crucial safety infrastructure (proving its necessity) so PBOT gave up on it.

As one of the commenters pointed out: Since a pedestrian/bike fatality costs PBOT nothing and replacing a concrete planter a car has demolished costs them more than nothing, to balance the budget they're going to go with more pedestrian deaths.

 

I honestly thought it was going to be Adams, but I definitely knew it wasn't going to happen.

 

This is about the alleged food hall that was going to be coming to the Ritz Carlton Tower. They made a big show about how they'd be offering spots to the food carts they displaced.

Well now e-mails are bouncing and there's radio silence from everyone involved about whether there even will be a food hall anymore.

It sounds shocking, I know, but it certainly seems like the olive branch that they offered to assuage everyone's anger about the food carts they were displacing was a lie.

 

Here's the fallout from Kotek's decision to stop all tolling, as well as a history of promises made and then broken about tolling.

A couple of things I took from this article:

  • Oregon has reduced GHG emissions for most sectors except transportation
  • Tolling was part of the plan to reduce transportation emissions
  • Tolling on the I-5 Bridge will drastically reduce traffic on it, which obviates the need for more lanes
  • Only tolling on I-5 while leaving 205 free creates huge issues
  • The state was counting on tolling money for all of its projects, so car dependence is hurting car dependence, which is a small silver lining
 

He filed a police report for someone brushing his shoulder walking through the aisle and then criticizing his homeless policies.

Him not riding Max anymore has nothing to do with "violent and antisocial behavior" and everything to do with him being unwilling to face his constituents.

 

Seems just as unlikely as previous proposals, and also way outside of town (technically Beaverton, but the course is owned by the city of Portland).

 

Looks like the Broadway Bridge is going to be closed for a while next year.
