Sorry for tweeting so much, but Twitter throttles out-bound links, so I'm trying this again.
SoCal animal shelters are overwhelmed with people dropping off injured animals they can't take with them as they flee. Many are in need of volunteers, money, and foster homes 🧵

Since we’re discussing states to add, I know a U.S. District that has a population greater than both Vermont and Wyoming that deserves a look.

The social media outrage over congestion pricing isn’t really about congestion pricing. It’s a fight over who pays for public goods—and suburban drivers want the subsidies to keep flowing without paying their share.

This is a map of victims injured/killed while riding the subway.
Whoops, it actually shows motor vehicle crashes.
25 cyclists, 117 pedestrians, and 114 motorists killed in 2024.
51,685 injured.
Despite what you read in the @nypost, it's much safer to take the train.

If the NCAA is concerned about this, it’s not for the reasons implied. Anybody who watches NCAA women’s volleyball knows that there are dozens of more “dangerous” (read: hard hitting and terminal) OHs in the league right now, all of who are biological females as far as we know.
With the Boise State forfeit, SJSU gets a free pass to the Mountain West Tournament Championship. A win on Saturday and transgender player Blaire Fleming is headed for the NCAA Tournament.
That's a nightmare scenario the NCAA is praying doesn't happen. outkick.com/sports/boise-sta…
Especially for a team that likely couldn’t make it out of the first round, despite all the handwringing and fear-mongering about Blaire Fleming.

About Fred Astaire:
“I adore the man. I always have adored him. It was the most fortunate thing that ever happened to me, being teamed with Fred: he was everything a little starry-eyed girl from a small town ever dreamed of.”

This is a great transit ad.
