@brianrmcguire Woot!

@hamandcheese No, not at all. I’m implying that you are using the dog whistle of reparations to gin up anger rather than focusing on the point of her mentioning it - that she has a spiritual connection to a truly generous and transformative pastor.

@irapolis There is an In-n-Out in Mill Valley that is like this. They built their standard plan, complete with drive thru, but no cars can access it. Very odd.

[David Burton @burtonachitect]

@Josh_Hawn @brianrmcguire I think some of it may also be at the self storage where access is provided to doors on the side of the facility. Frustrating that the gap in protection happens there, but I understand the compromise.

@brianrmcguire I hope the striping and such discourages parking in the bike lane. Last Friday evening there were more than a dozen cars occupying 2 blocks of the, in theory, separated bike lane.

This is great. One of many things to love about Nick Cave.

[David Rowe @mrdavidrowe]

'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.'
Nick Cave.

@brianrmcguire And the reciprocal - you can’t maximize the potential of density without a smart mobility plan.

@brianrmcguire I just threw up a little

We lost Paul Auster today, a very sad day. His dexterity with words, ability to craft intricate stories, and create whole worlds made him one of my favorite writers. Will miss him terribly. https://t.co/h0LQAAXrKM

Night 2 of 2 of @TheMagFields in SF at The Curran Theater. @mergerecords , check out the T-shirt 3rd from the right. Another fantastic evening of favorite songs.

[David Burton @burtonachitect]

Night 1 of 2 listening to @TheMagFields play all of 69 Love Songs. Every song is a gem.

@cafedujord Well, Carol has a long history of getting things wrong. And, love that her avatar is a picture of new housing in Alameda that she opposed.

@irapolis The ubiquitousness of the bleacher stairs over the last 10 years is the equivalent of 45 degree angle plans in the 1970’s or glass block in the 1980’s. Everyone needs to give it a rest.

@irapolis In Philly there is a Street Road

[David Burton @burtonachitect]

Whaaat??

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

These tunnels were once believed to hide religious fortunes deep in their chambers, but the real treasure is found in who - or what - created them.

In 2009, a farmer was driving through his corn field in the south of Brazil when he suddenly felt his tractor sink and lurch to one side, making the vehicle shudder to a halt.

Researchers came to investigate and were surprised to find a tunnel nearly 2m high by almost 2m wide and about 15m long running across the field and right under the farmer's house. Deep claw marks embedded into the walls indicated its past occupant was not human.

A geologist and one of the scientists who visited the farmer's property, concluded was the work of a giant ground sloth from at least 10,000 years ago.
