perfect call

a lot of people will respond with "yeah, that's how taxes work." but it's not just charity, it's an investment that will drive down prices for everyone. good people are ok with charity, but it misses that a lot of public investments are net positives for everyone but the ultra wealthy.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

To a conservative, fascism is not death squads marching in the streets or an unaccountable leader committing war crimes around the globe but actually when they can’t go to Applebee’s and have to pick up their food instead

These guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.

"The politically-engaged citizen is encouraged to pour over poll numbers to determine their own preferences. Earnest liberals have been convinced that the only mature way of doing politics is to disregard everything you believe." www.lukewsavage.com/p/the-electa...

The Electability Hustle

Centrist arguments about who is or isn't "electable" have always been about disciplining the Democratic base rather than actually winning elections

on vacation at the lake. the nicest house with a dock full of boats has a gadsden flag. nice thought buddy, but we're gonna tread on you. oh yeah, we're gonna tread on you real good.

1. Most bicycles are not going 25 mph 2. Bike crashes involving pedestrians are rarely fatal because of lower speeds and mass 3. The risks posed by bicyclists and cars to pedestrians are not equivalent 4. Why does no one ever say, "I support cars but they need to operate within traffic laws."

Shocking.

On this date in 1936, the Summer Olympics opened in Berlin, and the efforts by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party to demonstrate the superiority of the “Aryan race” were undermined by the success of African American athletes, notably Jesse Owens.

car brain is the real-life equivalent to the myths about toxoplasmosis. efforts to reduce trash rotting in the street festering with disease and rats being met with "but muh parking!?????" is beyond parody. these people would happily live in a landfill if it had assigned parking.

Stop the War on Cars. Stop taking our parking spots away.

riding your bike slower than a brisk jog pace is nearly impossible.

additionally, it's interesting what private equity is trying to get their grubby hands on now. real "there must be some change in the couch cushions" hours. nothing to invest in from the found up, so just trying to syphon what value, that's already developed, is left out there.

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”

upper 60s with 90% humidity is very, deceptively uncomfortable

my 9th grade ecology teacher, who was oddly pretty conservative, was an avid environmentalist and always said all the fixes are on the shelf, just have to use them.

It would be easy to call this the “new normal“ but that’s incorrect. In actual fact, “normal” is going to keep getting worse and worse and worse. Just how bad it will get depends entirely on how fast & far we go on real, legitimate (not performative) #ClimateAction. We know how. It’s about will.

Every time I across one of these I watch the entire thing three times in a row

they should just make them pay for utilities and staff, otherwise who cares? better someone use it for free than it go to waste for also no rent and fees.

The Oakland Roots will play Saturday, but future home games remain in limbo. The club owes $1.4 million in unpaid Coliseum rent and fees. Officials warn games could be at risk without payments, though the team says it's committed to repaying the debt. Bay Area

Were we the tipping point to call it off? The evidence is strong…🦉

We can confirm that Union Omaha will not participate in future World Cups while FIFA's proposals to sell our beautiful game remain on the table. Club spokesperson Hoot: "As an owl, I'm uniquely qualified to say that this plan would not be wise, and in fact be extremely shortsighted." #OneMeansAll

The last clause of the sentence really gives away the game doesn't it.

most charitable read of this ad is that ai companies are just straight-up admitting that their products are exclusively for horrible people who suck.

What happened in #USL-1 on Wednesday night? Lucas Meek scored one of the goals of the season with a spectacular bicycle kick while Connor Evans notched a goal and assist to lead Greenville Triumph SC to a 3-2 win against Athletic Club Boise. Full Highlights -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=-70e...

it's upsetting that people think that the problem in the rise of road accidents is people utilizing micro mobility options and not that the problem is that the only way cars are safe is if literally nothing else uses the roads.
