this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

Man goes to see the Cyclops. Says he's depressed. He wants to get back to his wife and home, but he keeps running into fatal predicaments along the way. Cyclops says, "Prognosis is simple. Nobody can help you." Man starts crying. Says, "But Cyclops, I *am* Nobody"

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

• panters cannot pant hım; looks like someone else (38b) • insensitive to music (38b) • despises death and the dead (38b) . is affected only by relics that are older than he is (38b) • can create evil thoughts in others, banish good ones, and destroy will (38b) • cannot be photographed; photographs come out black or like a skeleton corpse (4, 38b) • can tell if bodies are dead or alive (4) • sees man semingly dead and says "no" (4) • has to be brought or carried over threshold. Dracula visits an asylum where he stumbles on the threshold (4, 16) • named "Count Wampyr" (1) • can determine and prove if people are sane (24) green taper with blue flame in Count's house (43va)

weswegen kam es ab Ende der 2000er zu einem Anstieg der Wahrscheinlichkeit für das Auftreten von Getränkeworten? 🤔🤔🤔 …und weswegen kommt „Corium“ beunruhigend häufig (?) vor? 🤔🤔

"Covering an area the size of Britain, Western Sahara is designated as a “non-self-governing territory” by the United Nations and remains on its official list of territories still awaiting decolonization." Eoghan Gilmartin for @africaisacountry1.bsky.social africasacountry.com/2026/07/odys...

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.
