Why should people need to move elsewhere for their vote to matter? Shouldn't we have a system (say, a mixed-member proportional parliament) that actually makes all votes count?
Living in denser places is better for the environment. Why should people move to less dense ones?

My problem was that I picked out a set of shippable things to add up to $35, and then at the checkout screen they changed their mind about 2 or 3 of them being shippable, and said I needed to pick one up in Fremont and another in Pleasanton or something like that.
Yes, sure, the second time you'll actually use walmart dot com.
And then the third time, having tried to use walmart dot com, you'll go back to using the third-party reseller on Amazon...

The GOP's success in demonizing Nancy Pelosi is remarkable and depressing. By any standard I can think of she's been the most effective legislative leader in decades, instrumental in defending Social Security and expanding health care 1/

Only 213 of them, apparently, if issue search is to be believed. (It's a bit annoying that the Insights tab doesn't have issue statistics, only code statistics.)

So with sea-surface temperatures this warm, are we going to have to start worrying soon about the possibility of hurricanes hitting San Diego or Los Angeles? (See the SST maps at ospo.noaa.gov/Products/ocean… .)
Another sea-surface temperature record was broken today, August 8. Scripps scientists with @shoresta100 measured a water temp of 79.2°F (26.3°C) at the end of Scripps Pier.

OK, I decided to break with tradition (of just uploading photos and not videos) and add (after my previous tweet) one video to the album as well, of a Yellow-bellied marmot *at the top* of Clouds Rest. flickr.com/photos/dbaron/299…

Residents of San Jose, Campbell, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, and Saratoga who care about housing: it might be good to ask your State Senator questions.
(Could include questions about how housing relates to transportation, environment, affordability, segregation, etc.)
Next week on Saturday I will be streaming a live Online Housing Town Hall on my Facebook page. Please participate by submitting any housing related questions to the following link: goo.gl/ygtBFG
