I’m sick and tired of companies breaking the law to keep workers from organizing.
Pass the PRO Act because workers have a right to form a union.
And let’s guarantee all workers a living wage.

Wednesday morning live music report: the Berkeley Symphony feat. every single student at the elementary school matches this note for note. Kids and grownups together, all alright.

Tuesday night live music report: the Berkeley High Jazz Ensemble is full of amazing musicians, with a real sense of jazz both individually and as a group. Add an incredible level of warmth and support for each other and it is clear that the kids are really seriously alright.

Lots of discourse on ‘Buy American’ rules. Neoliberals are right that protectionism is bad but they should probably stop to consider why people like this bad policy & don’t trust neoliberals to look out got their best interests

Carpenters in "prevailing wage" projects in SF make the equivalent of $186,400 a year, before overtime.
According to Glassdoor, the average SF software engineer makes $129,200.

A civil rights leader and a segregationist were the two leading democratic candidates for mayor of Boston in 1983 and they agreed on just two things: local control is good and nonprofit developers are the future.

I agree with this and....among the times I feel close to death as a pedestrian, cars turning right on green are a significant plurality. Which is to say, I think, speed is the problem every time.
Quote Tweet
I forgot: Ban signal phases with permitted lefts across pedestrian crossings. And ban right on red.
All the above are common street design choices we make, knowing full well the associated pedestrian safety dangers, all to shave just a few seconds off a car trip.

Build and connect bike-walk trails, more people will bike and walk. Build more roads, more people will drive. Decisions about public spaces make it easier or more difficult for people to improve their communities by getting out of cars for errands & recreation. @gabrielmbross

Seems worthwhile to turn the mirror around and face oneself: Zeno's Yimby, who can't quite abandon his environmental roots and is really irritated by libertarians, but each day goes half the distance to calling himself a left-Yimby, never quite getting there. twitter.com/maxdubler/stat

What's the play for the seller here? Killing customers doesn't seem like a strong business strategy, and if the point is they aren't coming back anyway, placebos are cheaper.

For my first story @latimes, I went to Mexico and got drugs.
Specifically, @ConnorASheets and I went to pharmacies, got pills & tested them.
Turns out, some are selling oxy & Adderall over the counter – but the pills are actually fentanyl & meth. latimes.com/world-nation/s

I've been hiring for 15 years for a small/medium firm that draws heavily from a few schools. Our committee has never, not one time, considered a candidate's reputation at school or anything about their behavior outside the office.

My ~hot take~ of the day is that the “your law school rep will define the rest of your career” rhetoric has gone, way too far. I know law students who are paralyzed with fear thinking messing up a cold call or disagreeing w a classmate will tank their future. This is not the case

Sir, I grew up a Red Sox fan in the Boston suburbs. As miserable as these seasons are, it's nothing like the emotional burden of cheering in the atmosphere that created the John Lackey Fried Chicken in the Bullpen Scandal.

Paul Pelosi’s attacker David DePape called into a Fox local news station show from jail on Friday, saying he had a message for America: “You’re welcome.” He then droned on with delusional nonsense and said “I also want to say I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I didn’t get more of them.”
