oh, this isnt a meme account

Lula honey send many people to prison please

i don't think we can come to a reasonable compromise with this

Making myself angry for no reason at all remembering the American transit planner that went to Amsterdam and was appalled at how little stakeholder engagement they did in favor of actually building shit.

WSJ story has been updated. Thanks all. (Turned off interactions on previous post)

If the democrats don’t tie this racist piece of shit in knots to the end of his days if they get a majority they deserve to rot

elon will look untouchable right up until he doesn't anymore and western governments should accelerate that day as quickly as possible

if i take a walk in my little walkable neighborhood to buy fresh flowers and crunchy nectarines and my serenity is punctured by the sound of your tesla flipping in the air, i will blow up your car with a rocket launcher

my sisters libertarian boyfriend got drunk and ruined her 10th birthday

boy Trump fucked the American auto industry. first he yanks their EV subsidies, leading them to slash production and write off tens of billions in investment, then he jacks up the price of oil by 50%, leading to skyrocketing EV demand going almost entirely to China bc GM et al left the market

Funny story: After Maryland Rep. Andy Harris blocked marijuana legalization in DC, residents would call up his office to complain about potholes and stuff. When the staffer would explain that they weren't constituents, they'd yell something to the effect of, "Then stop fucking with our weed!"

1. Yes. Correct. 2. They better. 3. Good call. 4. I know of at least 25,000 plaintiffs.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

As the prophecy foretold

I never thought I'd see the day

there is and there should be because, as previously mentioned, all of these people are criminals

One thing that’s difficult to explain to people who don’t live in DC, and are inclined to think we’re maybe being a touch hysterical, is how much this administration hates our city, is actively trying to ruin it, and wants to make every single person living in it as miserable as possible.

I've genuinely enjoyed @gruber.foo's writing for decades, but his "actually X isn't so bad" piece this week is awfully privileged and ignorant. Of course X is welcoming if you're a straight white affluent American male. Anyways, noted racist DHH agrees with him which should tell you everything.

Man, when BMW says "that's too fascist for us"

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

Who went through all the major platforms where the Pentagon might stream their barbaric firing squad "livestream" execution to see if it violated their policies? Me. I did it.

What this administration has done to the city streets I have traversed and the people and culture I have loved for 30 some years now is absolutely heartrending, and inexplicable to somebody who doesn’t experience it

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

The oft-cited claim that October 7, 2023 was the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust ignores the fact more Jews died in the Argentine military junta's Dirty War, due in part to the link between Jews and leftism. But accepting that would lead to a very different narrative of Jewish history.

Want to learn about the history of our city?  Well you’re in luck. This month, we’re hosting a massive scavenger hunt across the city — all about the history of organizing in NYC. Sign up at organize.nyc.gov and come see the city through the eyes of the people who built it.

Becca Good spoke publicly: ”I'm devastated by how many other lives have been destroyed, in this the darkest of times. From so many families dealing with the loss of their owned loved ones, to everyone who has to witness it, the pain of this moment extends so far beyond our family." (cont)

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Child: This is my first time meeting a mayor. Mamdani: Wow, have you ever met a prime minister? Child: No Norway PM Jonas Gahr Støre: *walks over*
