Maybe it's literally harder to get vaccines into arms than to keep people locked in buildings? But that doesn't seem particularly plausible to me.

Yglesias gets into a more general point about how cities should consider the larger context when they attempt to hit emissions reduction goals. But from the Alon Levy article, I like the idea that this move to not build trains to avoid emissions is "greenwashing austerity".
Threads
• Short thread from revolutions historian Mike Duncan about Saw and Luthen from Star Wars: Andor and how they fit into various revolutionary leader archetypes. It's a continuation from a thread forwarded to him by a fan.
• Very long thread discussing a new SF law to allow converting gas stations to homes and how it highlights the fact that San Francisco's proposal to the state for future housing growth is complete fiction.
• Very long thread with a story about complex derivatives called a corridor variance swaps, as an example of how this kind of investment vehicle can often get out of hand leading to speculative excess.
