Parts of @dwallacewells' "The Uninhabitable Earth" reads like a liturgy of confession: "We chose not to discuss a world warmed beyond two degrees out of decency, perhaps; or simple fear; or fear of fearmongering; or technocratic faith...

@CityofDallasD2 @TxDOT It seems like there isn't a lot of options to gain traction against this project. I really don't want it but previous discussions seem to leave me wondering if anything other than continuing the project as TxDot currently recommends will be considered

@Knightengale @ncoxbarrett Breanna Cooke!

The short answer is Dallas was ready 100 years ago but we'll settle for today.

The long answer is that this cynical piece fails to conduct any cost/benefit analysis, identify useful alternatives or consider anything but gut feelings on the politics of housing reform.

@Knightengale Where do we advocate for better? I am so fed up with the medical system but feel so unsure of what the solution is or what orgs are working toward better answers that I can support. Any knowledge there?

We need to remind @USDOT that it’s not their job to prioritize cars. It’s their job to transport people, whether by walking, biking, driving, or taking transit.

Heads-up: there's a resolution approving the reconstruction of I-345 on the Dallas city Council's consent agenda for Feb 22nd. This Council has done a complete 180 on this god-awful mile-long piece of racist infrastructure & now wants to sweep it under the rug w/o any more debate

My point is that every meeting is missing someone tired, busy, unaware. They might even be passionate about the issue. We should adapt public processes to deal with these realities.

@ncoxbarrett The least you could do is link @amortowles so he's aware the opportunity here

But seriously all three of his novels are profound and humorous and full of what it means to be human

@ncoxbarrett Just look at that steam!

@MarxistBanana @PercolatedTrout @chelsea_sentell @Spiffl Oh I remember that night. Good times and poor Janna. Kevin's got a legacy.

@ncoxbarrett I thought you, of all people, would be behind less parking.

@ncoxbarrett The real goal here is the socks and Chacos combination

@chelsea_sentell I feel this comment so much. Big feeler over here too 👋

@paulablackmon @VoteOmarNarvaez @AdamBazaldua @JesseForDallas @CKArnold2015 @Jaime_Resendez @Jayniefordallas Low hanging fruit to help our pollinator population which serves our entire ecosystem. Also less mowing! https://t.co/9nh7e2enw7

@jehiahdowdy Not enough

@MarxistBanana @PercolatedTrout He can begin to work on his delivery of "Hi Hungry, I'm Dad."

[Margaret Barrett @MCBSounds]

The man, the myth, the parking reform legend @ncoxbarrett has quit his day job to work full time on making our city a better, more equitable place to live. He's abundantly capable and it's a privilege to witness his vision for Dallas. Check out his website https://t.co/dVHLOQfBin

@limmoraliste Love these.

@ncoxbarrett The last item is not to be confused with "grape nuts and salad"
