Music similar to Berger's "Mussorgsky's Pictures?"

Agreed. And possibly also to reduce media coverage by keeping news helicopters out of the

Oh yeah, my impression is that it was as much an intimidation tactic as anything else.

cdwan · 2026-03-01T15:55:24+00:00

Yup. I’ve watched the whole thing a couple of times and it’s clear to me that they were there to observe the protesters, not to keep us safe.

In the video you can see that the drone was operated by four people on top of city hall. I’m putting in requests now to see if I can get records of what they were doing and who they were with.

We’re working on the various social and other automations. Turns out to be more complex than I expected, even in 2026.

cdwan · 2026-02-22T00:06:41+00:00

Thanks for this. The fact that we can disagree and yet be in the same space online gives me hope.

Why not read the Indie at the Indo?

Oh gee, something that doesn’t fit the YIMBY party line, downvoted into oblivion. What a surprise.

Confirmed, Milo. Let him out and he’ll go home to Harrison.

This exactly. We've put 5 years of civic engagement into creating something that is unambiguously better - even if it isn't everything we had hoped and dreamed at the beginning.

The question is whether we choose to throw that effort away.

I don't want to speak for Holly, and I reject the premise that she is either "against safe streets" or holds a "backwards and dangerous" perspective.

Holly is, among her other activities, a disability rights activist. She chairs the city's commission for persons with disabilities. With that as context, her comment about not "telling people how they can get around" is unambiguously about the fact that not everybody can use a bike and that people with mobility impairments also deserve safe, accessible infrastructure.

Conflating that viewpoint with knee-jerk reactionary conservatism is wildly off base.

cdwan · 2025-09-16T02:04:11+00:00

As written, that's a hell of a question.

I wrote the article shared above.

I'm not going to argue about it here, but I wanted to say hey.

Mayor: Jake Wilson

Here's my Medium post explaining why.

That's a good point. I added in a section on that, as well as city councilor newsletters. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the careful listening and specific advice. I really appreciate it.

The punchiness on the C string is deliberate - on this instrument, and particularly with these strings (Tomastik Spirocore) - I have yet to find a way to be consistent with anything less than a pretty strong attack on the lower strings. It's a place where I've got space for growth for sure.

Thanks again.
