My eBay order is late. I blame Joe Biden.

The walkable, affordable city of your dreams does exist. You just have to get over your disdain for the Rust Belt. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

When you’re hit by a car, try not to die. It’s a real bummer for the driver.

Is it too much to ask that Brad Lander gets a significant role in the ZM administration?

Do we think that the election results will make the Roberts court think twice about granting everything 47 demands?

This means that you bring coffee & pastries to the baristas.

Exactly this.

Also, Jefferson vs. Hamilton.

Maybe pundits should spend more time in densely packed, left leaning urban areas where the "real Americans" live

Gonna need some national media outlets to go to New York City diners to ask patrons for their take on the elections

Happy joyscrolling, everyone!

roses are red big laughs are hearty

I think it'd be lovely for Schumer to join Cuomo in retirement

Hey, NYC, where will I find the best online mayoral election updates tonight?

Cars enable casual, consequence-free cruelty.

PSA

Sure seems like a winning message for Dems would be: "Republican economic policy is to price as many Americans as possible out of food, health care, and apartments or home ownership."

In which two of my favorite social media things collide: ZM and bodega cats! See time marker 1.09. bsky.app/profile/zohr...

No one is louder or more profane than a driver caught in the wrong.

Which, to me, raises a good question: whose horror is suitable for recreational use and whose is not?

This is brilliant

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1. Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.

Another reason to caption your videos, besides accessibility for deaf & hearing impaired people, is so that hearing people who don't live in earbuds 24/7 can watch them with the volume off & not annoy everyone else in the vicinity. I scroll past *so* many videos because they are not captioned.

You know the sheer number of Americans who sign up to run triathlons and marathons voluntarily does suggest people want to do hard things. and they're willing to toil along as long as there's periods of community and clear validation of their work - validation isn't the same as winning.

Can anyone tell me why someone slapped a Car Brain label on Kevin Kruse? I've followed him for years and, forgive the automotive metaphor, he sticks to his lane: history, current events, maybe some sports? I haven't seen a pattern of defending motonormativity. This doesn't seem merited.

If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven) projects.propublica.org/coronavirus/...

Republicans understand that the best way to kill social programs is to paint their beneficiaries as Black, as support for these programs declines — even amongst white people who need them — when they think large numbers of Black people will benefit. news.stanford.edu/stories/2018...

On a related note, I'll bet that e-bikes outnumber electric cars in most cities and this is the public charging infrastructure that we should prioritize.

I didn't get a picture from across the street, but one of my neighbors accompanied his kids trick-or-treating in a big inflatable pink flamingo costume and I think this is the next big look for rallies and protests

I dunno, I call bullshit on this one. Vegans sneaking meat is a popular trope/accusation among carnivores. It is such a perfect permission structure for them.

Bought a new Samsung tablet and the charging cable that came with it is USB-C at BOTH ENDS. This makes NO SENSE.

Parents of young kids - please be careful trick or treating tonight I found this Dodge RAM 1500 hidden inside a Snickers bar last year Unlike razor blades or Fentanyl massive trucks like this actually do injure or kill a significant number of kids on Halloween

once again posting The Chart

Unless you're a first responder, just stay home. Park the car from 6-8 pm. Hand out candy or walk around your nabe and be an informal crossing guard.

Data is sparse, but I'd bet school crossing guards are much more likely to die at work than police officers. They're at least as deserving of hazard pay.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Brutal story about how drivers keep hitting crossing guards, who in turn are out there trying to keep kids safe in school zones. Note the solidarity between cops and drivers in this article. Two groups with broad legal immunity for committing interpersonal violence.

You may not believe that new supply pushes down rents, but your landlord does.

this seems to corroborate my fear that even “AI-literate” people assume that LLMs are reasoning engines that isolate premises and carry out logical (truth-preserving) inferences on them. here as elsewhere, LLMs actually produce plausible-looking slop. i'll give an example. +
