the only coherent opinion on this, by the way, is "you should probably wear a helmet but shaming and helmet laws are quantifiably bad. and also biking without one is a top 10 life activity." ok maybe that last part is my editorial but it's true

of the genuine belief that on days with beautiful weather, we all take the day off, exceptions only for ice cream shop workers and lifeguards, but they get to bank an extra PTO day for their service

hardest thing about return to office is having cramps in public again. what do you mean there's no option to let me lay down with my laptop in bed like i do at home

The “air conditioning debate” is a climate culture war started by center-right and liberal commentators, which drives attention away from the existential need to phase out fossil fuels. Try not to get swept along (as I am right now lol) but stick to the message: govt action to end coal, oil, & gas

America: It's raining, take an umbrella
Europeans: There are unintended consequences of taking an umbrella. If we refuse to and so does China and the rest of the world, maybe it won't rain so much in 50 years. I'm going to die now.IDEAS
