My condolences go out to all the geologists and meteorologists who are going to have to spend the next six months explaining to everyone they know that the hurricane did NOT cause the earthquake.

The incident report for the fire at Schnitzer Steel is available now on our website: https://t.co/GMyFGfIQ82

We will continue to investigate to determine if there were any violations of air quality regulations. This report will be updated as new information becomes available.

"You don't take a person who for years has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, 'you are free to compete with all the others,' and still justly believe that you have been completely fair." — LBJ https://t.co/uTsFxPsGLa

Another excellent thoughtful article by @Sammy_Roth on a complicated topic. It’s important to do the math on these questions and to be grounded in an understanding of the magnitude of the problem.

Is rooftop solar enough to solve climate change? Or do we need to keep building big solar farms in the desert?

I run the numbers for @latimes, and reach some conclusions not everyone is going to like: https://t.co/zQvxNiugPq

took my son through san francisco during pride week and am appalled by what we saw. dark suits worn without ties, suit jackets worn with jeans, low-rise slim-fit chinos, dress sneakers, oxford shoes in casual outfits, polos with "business backpacks," a preponderance of tan shoes

The Yankees starter has 137 wins and 2,020 strikeouts in his career, but he can’t match Crawford’s 0.00 ERA. This will serve as a playful point of pride for the San Francisco shortstop, who threw a scoreless inning in Sunday's rout of the Cubs. https://t.co/k4cxZxytCR

public service announcement: please don’t drive your car down muni train tracks. it won’t go well.

LA bus riders need bus shelters, what they got was...La Sombrita.

Shade at bus stops is a political problem, not a design problem — $30 million in funding for bus shelters is stalled in the bureaucracy.

Read @tufacemay's debut for LA Public Press!

Great article on how Large Language Models like ChatGPT work.

A thought experiment in the National Library of Thailand—or why #ChatGPT (or any other language model) isn't actually understanding.

Cars and high oil prices are key drivers of inflation.

Mass transit, work-from-home policies, bicycling infrastructure, walkable cities and micro mobility such as e-bikes and scooters are solutions to both.

[Secretary Marcia L. Fudge @SecFudge]

Thanks to @POTUS’s historic Inflation Reduction Act, HUD has developed a new program that will ensure lower-income Americans can benefit from the transition to clean energy and build resilient and green futures of their own.

Muni guy: You just push the gate and it opens
420 guy: <confused> continues to look for place to tag clipper card
Muni guy: you don’t have to tag your card, just push and it opens
420 guy: stares
Muni guy: look, I can’t make this any simpler

[Greg Nudd @gnudd]

Definitely 4/20 on Muni today.

Name one thing that would make this photo more Texas. For example: bowl of chili.
