I’m sorry, what? While I personally think there is much to learn (good and mostly bad) from Voisin, I’ve NEVER in my nearly 40 years in the field encountered an advocate. Modernist planning was more than discredited decades ago to such an extreme degree that we’ve discarded any of its good ideas

I respect Amtrak’s commitment to the spherical carrot
LA protects drivers' feelings at pedestrians' expense, and it's killing us. A crosswalk in my hood makes people wait up to 60 seconds so cars don't get annoyed. Pedestrians give up and just cross. Why have a signal at all? A 🧵 about the city’s codependent relationship with drivers.

NEW | California just reached a world-first solar milestone Over HALF (51%) of electricity generation across the whole month of May came from solar power. Battery storage is the big difference maker, enabling California to push the share of solar generation to this level.
This absolutely does not go where you think it will and it is so good.

It’s an actual Dream Come True for me! Today I am driving a Muni Bus wearing the iconic Landor Livery, the true colors Muni is meant to display, designed by the great Walter Landor in 1975, introduced alongside the greatest logo in transit history, the Muni Worm.
Reporters and fans gathered Friday to remember @mrdavekendall.bsky.social here in #bangkok. We'll miss him savagely; fortunetly, our friend Dmitriy put together this video celebrating both spheres of Dave's professional life set to the music of his favorite band, Killing Joke.
