@J21Ken and I built a realistic visualization of San Francisco city at double its current density using real buildings from Tokyo. Imagine SF with 30% lower rent, 6x the restaurants, and functioning public transportation.

I split a lot of time between San Francisco and Tokyo, and one thing has always bothered me: why does the capital of technology still look like so much of it got frozen in the 1930s?
I love San Francisco. The ambition, the interesting conversations, the sheer talent density.
But after living in Tokyo, it’s hard not to notice how much urban form shapes what a city makes possible.

The "new Outlook" bundled with Windows, it doesn't connect directly to your mail server. It sends creds to MSFT and its servers connect? So they've found a way to read everyone's email, like Gmail?
With the prospective appointment of Wisconsin's Sean Duffy to the Secretary of Transportation, perhaps we are one step closer to learning the truth about MTV's "Road Rules" from 1998. Why did Sean's wife Rachel kiss Puck? #RoadRules
"X fever"? This is a good reminder that the cruelty has always been the point and the policy of Milwaukee's conservative talk radio and social media presence. The hosts know their listeners eat it up and repeat it.

I’ll be a guest on WPR’s The Morning Show on Thursday at 8 a.m. I’ll be discussing “Araiguma Rascal,” the only anime set entirely in WI and the subject of my book “Starring Rascal.” Pokémon voice actor Martha Harms of Elm Grove joins the show, too.
Why isn't anyone talking about Spindell's Random Capitalization of Words?urbanmilwaukee.com/2023/01/1…
And yet for decades, teachers have cheerfully used any old nickname like “Skip” and “Buffy” and some even idolize a TV show with a preteen that everyone called “Beaver.” jsonline.com/story/communiti…

this decision by @illusory_tenant's favorite dane county jurist is best read not as a dismissal of a transphobe's lawsuit, but rather as a direct broadside assault on the uber-conservative branch of Wisconsin's Supreme Court and its contortions of law to affirm partisan policy 1/

My name is Ann Roe. I am a former educator, small business owner, and community leader running to flip #WI01 blue for the first time in a generation. Can I get 50 new followers today to help spread the word that we can elect a pro-choice, pro-labor candidate this year?
