My kids love Spider-Man, but maybe the only thing they love more is "Emergency!", the classic 70s TV series they watch with my parents. We watched the original Raimi film tonight and Spider-Man saved a baby from a burning building. My two-year-old shouted "Johnny and Roy!"

likely STDs that poll better than this idea because of car brain, but a built in speed governor that logged every time you went above the speed limit in a given area and sent you a ticket every X number of times would uncontroversially save more american lives than basically any other single policy

the marginal loss of privacy relative to status quo is why I'm very "ehhh" about most perceived SURVEILLANCE STATE!!! objections to thing like speed cameras. I find it hard to give much of a shit. I already assume I'm never unwatched in a populated public area. might as well be used constructively
