Copper wire stripping of streetlighting is a public safety problem. It creates safety hazards for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, especially during this time of year. A crackdown is long overdue. The people doing this and the businesses buying stolen wire should be punished.

Mark my words, this stuff happens downstream of trans sports bans. Once you start shouting "unfair competitive advantage!" it's hard to get that out of people's heads, and if they see it can be weaponized against kids better than their kids, they'll use it.

Every time Butker missed a field goal, a woman gets her MBA

It's so nice to wake up in the morning after a Seahawks victory like last night.

The daily risk of being detained, beaten, murdered, or kidnapped to a concentration camp just because you look a certain way is a pretty powerful motivator.

This is so repulsive. The "good German" energy here is stunning. Just a repulsive display of cowardice in the face of evil masquerading as realpolitik.

Who would've thought that the same person who pioneered illegal eco-block placement in the public right of way would also disregard and violate campaign finance laws?

My kids have developed this metric of "who has the better relationship with Dad" that seems to be based on how much football each child watches with me. It's silly, but I'm not particularly opposed to it. I think my daughter understands basic offensive formations now.

What a guy and what a career. I met him once on Capitol Hill years ago. Seems like someone who really made the most of a long life.

I'm no genius, but I do know that the more they restrict access to the Musk documentary, the greater "forbidden fruit" appeal it gains.

I played thousands of matches of the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, using the online redemption cards from my kids’ collection. I am a master of the Zamazenta theme deck. No EXs, no Vs or VMaxs, nothing fancy, and I still kicked a lot of ass.

To quote Bill Hicks talking about George Bush during the Persian Gulf War: when did this guy become such a fuckin' demon, man? Clearly, he sees this as his big shot to run on for reelection. But the housing and shelter to make this work just doesn't exist, so it will fail, quickly and publicly.

Brilliant marketing for Starlink - contract with us for your communications needs! Elon might arbitrarily decide to personally throttle your service at any time! The only real talent he ever had was being a hype man, and for a while he was really good at it, but he's too far over his skis now.

This is true of like, every bar in every suburb too. Car dependent environments naturally lend themselves to impaired driving if bars are present. Government punts the responsibility to individuals, but the state permits them to operate, and in some cases requires parking.

Finally we're fighting back! This ad goes so fucking hard youtu.be/Gt_IZoM9KuQ?...

I remember watching The War Room, and how it was all a game to him and his wife. It’s all a game they think should be close because that’s what juices the consultant class. Centrism is just a way for the same consultants to work both sides.

I've heard this from other people too, but not sure where the evidence for it is. The single best Democratic performance in my lifetime was 1974, after Watergate brought down Richard Nixon.

If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

Worked for WashPIRG for 3 days. Shitty hours going door to door in residential neighborhood ls begging for money. After day 3 they said I’d be let go if I didn’t get my numbers up. I decided to save them the trouble.

This could have exciting applications in the amusement park ride industry.

Tbh I don’t know if it’s the media or just the politics around EVs are rancid: 1. Our EV national champion is run by TEMU Albert Speer 2. Republicans think climate change is fake and gay 3. Dems think EV strategy should satisfy a UAW wishlist first

I’m sorry I think we need to not have Sam be our QB. It is not getting better at all.
