1/ If you're interested in housing and the debates within the Democratic party about how much is needed and how to get it built, you need to read this profile of CA NIMBY slayer @scottwiener.bsky.social by @jetjocko.bsky.social. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Scott Wiener Defeated California’s NIMBYs. Can He Fix America’s Housing Crisis?

By running for Nancy Pelosi's seat, he's putting the "Abundance" theory to the test.

Dear #SkateTwitter: Years ago Mike Carroll ollied this massive double hubba at the entrance to UCLA. It's one of those "way gnarlier in person" spots. I know there was an ad with a still shot and footage of it in some video, probably a Transworld thing, but cannot seem to find. Anyone know it?

Really sucks that Manny's was hit by vandals. The targeting of him and his business—which does more to promote and support progressive causes and authors and educate the public than just about anything in SF—is a fringe and poisonous disinformation campaign. missionlocal.org/2025/06/mann...

Good times with Bret Anthony Johnston, my skate homie and acclaimed novelist. Growing up, I thought writers and skaters were the two coolest kinds of people on all of planet earth. Now I'm 47 getting a doubles clip with an author I admire. An ordinary day is extraordinary when you appreciate it.

My Switch 2 experience: 45 minutes of pressing "Place your order" on the Target website and having it not go through. Then my card got canceled, it got removed from my cart, and now my daughter will be crying in the AM.

My five years memory: On March 9, 2020, I accomplished my life's goal of writing a book and getting my name on the marquee at Powell's. The next day, March 10, I flew home as the world shut down. Down to the wire!

Silo is a show about living in an underground apartment complex. Paradise is a show about living in an underground suburb. Because I am a housing nerd, I called creators of the two works to ask them about density versus sprawl in a post-apocalyptic world. My story: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/b...

How ‘Silo’ and ‘Paradise’ Envision Housing After the Apocalypse

“Paradise” and “Silo” have opposing takes on the future of urban organization, echoing the debate over America’s housing shortage today.

To go along with our piece today, we published an extensive list of folks associated with DOGE. It builds off and adds to the strong work that Wired, WaPo, ProPublica and other pubs have been doing. The public has a right to know who is dismantling the government. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Who Is in DOGE? Tracking Its Staffers and Allies in the Federal Government

The Times identified 49 people within the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a group formed by Elon Musk that in a short few weeks has radically upended federal agencies.
