I'd hardly say he threw trans people under the "proverbial train." He simply stated his discomfort with allowing trans girls/women to play competitive sports with natal girls and women, a position that is only controversial within certain circles of the far left. He's been a champion for LGBTQ...

On paper, he's a good candidate. Iraq war vet. Helps with veterans issues. Liberal but not stupid-liberal. But he's got the personality of a bag of chips and that's going to hurt him.

Had a date night with MrsDee54321 and was able to snap a few shots of the world's second tallest building, Merdeka 118 (and a few other places). If you look closely at one of the shots, you'll see a cool rainbow that appeared after a storm.

I grew up in Massachusetts' Mecca for Chinese food, Billerica, so I was used to a certain taste. The first time I went to Kowloon in my early 20s, I remember being profoundly disappointed at how tasteless the food actually was. To be fair, I felt the same way on my first trips to Shang Hai and...

Maybe the new, scaled-down restaurant will finally make food that doesn't taste like paper.

Smells like tacos all the time? Is supposed to be a good or bad thing? I can't tell.

Only took 11 years!

I read stuff like this and I'm becoming a conspiracy theorist. If we can't fund and build a couple-mile-long extension to a BRT line, there's no way we made it to the moon in '69 ;)

Sorry to go off on a tangent here, but this struck me as crazy: Silver Line Extension Cost: $100M (including $28M for Lower Broadway Improvements). Funding: Partially identified. Timeline: No service date identified in writing, but MBTA planners estimate start of service in 2036. Key public...

My alma mater Quinnpiac built their hockey and basketball arenas next to each other in the same building. I guess if you wanted to put it next door it could work, but I just don't see that ROI would be all that good. Does the area need another 20,000 seat arena? Both arenas would need to fill...

One of my issues with the original flag was that there was so much empty space. The flag felt like it could be busier. The first two seem to have the same problem. The third one is okay, but I do wish we could have had one with a pine tree on it.

I guess these would be my choices.

I often fly between Kuala Lumpur and Boston and back and a flight like that gives me mixed feelings. On one hand, I could puddle jump to Singapore and take a loooooong flight back to Boston. On the other hand, a long flight like that without stop might drive me, and my family, mad. The longest...

There it is

KL won't get more walkable because of any government initiative. Money talks here and if more developers decide to make walkable neighborhoods, it'll happen. The one thing the government has been good at has been expanding train network. 100s of kilometers of track have been built all over the...

And a few more

Because I have family in town, I'm hitting all of the tourist hotspots, and I managed to get down to my wife's hometown of Melaka (also spelled Malacca). There isn't much of a skyline, but the Jonker Street area of the city is lovely and lively with fantastic urbanism.

KL is a funny city. It's densely populated, but its walkability is severely lacking. If you go to Bukit Bintang (a central district with lots of malls, restaurants and bars), it's as vibrant and walkable as any place in Asia. But outside of that. you'll really only find good, comfortable...

I'd argue that Taipei has FAR better urbanism than KL.

A few more that didn't make it into my last post
