I think about this all the time. When a train is crowded it still goes the same speed, but every single driver on a road decreases the efficiency and speed of car travel. There’s a reason car commercials show cars on completely empty roads. Using public transit teaches the benefit of community

car ideology, and I am totally serious about this, is the valorization of individual desire over the public. The fight in the war of all against all. In this way it is totally consistent for the car-brained to always be mad at the other car people who are getting in their way.

I was in Pensacola recently and walked past the Vietnam memorial there, which is now accompanied with a bunch of other memorials of different wars. The Revolutionary Mar memorial there (¯\_(ツ)_/¯) is emblazoned with this goofball-ass quote attributed to no one that feels more clarifying every day.

Picture of a big marbley memorial plinth inscribed with “those who hammered their guns into plows will plow for those who do not” which is non-attributed to “unknown author”

A good chunk of the right has absolutely not advanced past thinking it’s dumb that “sex” and “gender” are separate form fields and as such see anything like that as being ideologically threatening; it’s just easier to control kids than adults

A disturbing and hypocritical ruling on so many levels. Especially the due process holding. The court JUST said there’s no deeply rooted right for women to control their own bodies. But there is a deeply rooted right for parents to know if their kids question their gender at school? Come on.

Made my teenager pause playing Portal 2 with his friends in order to let him know that the best Portal 2 player is Plake Portles and now I’m being yelled at
