deewaniTo my surprise, @alexismadrigal is a neighbor of Samin Nosrat which made this a delightful episode of Forum. Currently reading my library copy of her new book Good Things. I don’t really read cookbooks in general, but hers are different.
So many coyote sightings in past few weeks in our city. Many morning/ daylight videos. Neighbor of a family friend lost a chicken the other day. #KQEDFORUM #NPR #KQED #SFBA did a segment today that I missed, gonna go listen...https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101907567/coexisting-with-californias-urban-coyotes
John HardenListening to KQED-fm this morning and man, I bet I'm not the only #radio listener in the #BayArea who misses Michael Krasny. Krasny could really engage with his guests. You could tell from his half of any given conversation that he was erudite and well-read, on most every topic. He didn't just read off a list of questions for the guest, he contributed. Alexis Madrigal seems like a very nice guy but on the air with guests he is absolutely Mr. "yeah, wow."

I heard Dr. Celine Gounder mention a study not yet submitted for publication where data found that a 10 day course of Paxlovid showed no rebound and no cases of Long Covid. (you can listen @ link below @~36 minutes) This is why you test!

New COVID Guidance, Variants and ‘Common Sense’: Living With the Coronavirus in 2024 | KQED
The California Department of Public Health issued new COVID-19 guidance last week, advising that people may return to school and work even if they test positive for the virus. We’ll talk about California’s recommendations, the new COVID variant known as JN.1 and the latest developments in treatment and prevention. And we’ll hear from you: How are you living with COVID in 2024?
Ross of OttawaNice lunch today listening to #KQEDforum on NPR where they're talking to the founders of the #PrelingerArchive which is a great online resource (Archive.org) where you can easily lose a lot of hours. Enjoyed harvesting from there for a few video projects. So fun.
Patty A. Gray#KQEDForum is interviewing Taylor Lorenz about her book Extremely Online. Loving the story she tells of how users—especially women—shaped online platforms in ways that their tech bro creators were clueless about, having failed to understand what it is that people really want from online spaces.
Taylor Lorenz on the ‘Extremely Online’ Influencers Who Shaped the Internet | KQED
Most histories of social media focus on Big Tech: the inventors, the investors and the innovations they made. But Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz writes in her new book “Extremely Online” that “tech founders may control the source code, but users shape the product.” Providing a “social history of social media,” Lorenz looks at how
The mystery company buying up land around #TravisAFB turned out to be laying plans for a new city. They put up a website called California Forever. #kqedforum had a segment on this with the CEO & Fairfield Mayor. https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101894493/utopia-or-sprawl-tech-group-pushes-plans-for-new-solano-county-city #SFBA #SolanoCounty #Fairfield
Utopia or Sprawl? Tech Group Pushes Plans for New Solano County City | KQED
For years, Solano County residents wondered who was secretly spending hundreds of millions of dollars to buy up family farms in their community. The rumors swirled: was Disney planning a new theme park? Was it some sort of Chinese government land-grab? In August, the mystery was solved: the New York Times reported that a group
Davey 민선RE: #KQEDForum episode about the dream city on #Solanocounty farmland, the CEO did not have a good answer for some very fundamental questions, to convince people that the project is anything beyond half-baked.
How are you going to finance the immense cost of new infrastructure (water, highways, sewage, power transmission)
How are you going to score a return for investors if your goal is "affordability" which always requires subsidy and concession.
Yeah I'm cynical. As a #YIMBY, I believe in infill, and not sprawl. To be fair, I understand that that smart urban design is often impeded by bureaucracy and NIMBYism, and a part of me wants a project like this to be successful (in theory).
But there's a clear unmooring from reality here. It's got "Hyperloop" written all over it.
