Never has an editorial screamed out for a "Now do highways and roads" response more than this one.

overcoming car dependency as a nation is one of the core requirements to destroying fascism

tbf Chicagoans are literally always saying this lol

To be clear: I called my Alder’s office yesterday to complain about the scale and span of the closures and it was news to them. There was no democratic process for this procession. No community input or consideration. Police just did this and barely bothered to inform anyone, least of all our reps

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

I’m aware this is news to CBS and this dude but we were literally shouting about this a year ago, it’s not unearthed, and it’s even stupider than you think: the cruise ships paid their salaries. It literally paid more than it cost. We gave money back rather than control disease because RFK

A truly appalling statistic buried in this article shows the magnitude of the driver impunity that kills thousands of pedestrians & cyclists every year. 14,600 different cars have been ticketed for speeding in a New York City school zone more than 16 times each! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/n...

I was curious what the other routes that pass through this intersection looked like during this bunch so I queried the bot db and visualized it – turns out the 65 and 8 were also bunched here at the same time too. In total there were 23 buses around this intersection at this time. What a mess

Using the rules of linear perspective to combat ai slop can I get a hell yeah

Who would win -- a new Acela or every diesel locomotive in the yard coupled together for some reason?

How the fuck are you going to be a card-carrying Democratic Socialists of America member and then speak out against legalizing middle density housing & ADUs across the state? Turn your fucking brain on.

Ag secretary confirming 1 in 4 US farmers has no fertilizer secured, American Farm Bureau survey says up to 70% can’t afford enough fertilizer for the season under the spiked costs Honestly shocked this isn’t bigger news. 25% of farms are just not planting at all this season. Farm bankruptcy up 46%

Q1 2026 transit data is in today, & all major US rail networks are growing! SF is seeing a real boom, with ridership up 19% on Muni and 15% on BART SEPTA (Philly, 11%) and PATH (NY/NJ, +6.8%) are also seeing strong growth, while MTS (San Diego, +0.5%) is the slowest🧵

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

Actually pretty illuminating that Republicans have built an image of Trump in their heads where he's shaped like Rambo and everybody else in the country realizes he's a feeble old man who exclusively eats fast food.

VA conducted internal investigations into employees who attended vigil for Alex Pretti www.cnn.com/2026/05/05/p...

How it feels hearing a sinkhole opened up at 76th and Pitkin in Queens:

If the Democrats let Republicans have this INSANELY easy W, I am going to be apoplectic. This shit polls like chlamydia. Get on the other side of it now and be loud about it.

I know people involved in california water stuff and if you bring this particular incident up they have to go take a walk however stupid you think this whole thing was it was stupider than that

Student journalists at the Cornell Sun first broke this story. The NYT took it, didn’t credit the reporters per their own ethical standards, and watered down the headline into nothingness. Journalism isn’t dead, newsrooms are

Oh also perfect example of rural concerns being taken more seriously than coastal or urban ones

I'm sorry, is my desire to not be killed or maimed slowing you down? Is my husabnd's desire for me to get home safely inconveniencing you? BOO FUCKING HOO.

Look. In the not too distant future, we may be looking at an America strictly divided into one-party states right across the board. That's an America where political conflict starts to take on a...different character, and organized political violence becomes a lot less unimaginable

Not that anyone needs yet another reason to steer clear of Microsoft, but VSCode now adds Copilot as a co-author of all your commits, regardless if you used Copilot. This was added silently as a default. This is some next level insanity.

The Box is the correct shape for most buildings to be

Abortion access nationwide will be severely restricted, even in blue states after this. Will require in person dispensing. Pharmacies can no longer fill prescriptions and just stop dispensing. Providers like aid access may still be able to mail pills due to their setup.

good tweet

Enraging that so many people see the possibility of kids getting hit by bikes as an emergency in need of mayoral intervention while the reality of kids getting killed by motor vehicles on a regular basis is seen as nothing more than an unpreventable act of God.

looking forward to Oh No The National Debt becoming the single most pressing issue for the national media the second a Democrat takes office again, as is tradition

aaaannnnndddd they actually went even higher

Any possible safety gains by Waymo are completely wiped out by their lobbying to introduce cars back to Market www.sfgate.com/local/articl...

The word for this is "coup."

Reminder that there is no scientific definition for "ultra-processed food", and no theory for the mechanism by which it is supposedly uniquely harmful.

. @aoc.bsky.social responds to this trend: "BOOOOO" "This race to try to see who can be exempt from participating in society is not a conversation that I'm interested in," she tells me, calling it an uninspiring message. "I'm a Great Society Democrat, and I believe in building that together."

an essay I'm gonna write: 2000 - There's a digital divide in which rich kids have tech and poor kids don't. 2030 - There's a digital divide in which rich kids have humans and poor kids don't.

They're doing the detransition thing but with autism now.

If your business model depends on breaking laws that keep people safe, you should not be allowed to operate. 👏 👏 👏

Motornormativity also messes with people's understanding of life before cars, causing them to believe that every household owned a horse and buggy before they switched to owning automobiles.

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

I am going to be a massive humorless asshole about woo-woo shit, no matter how seemingly harmless, for the rest of my life due to this. astrology, homeopathic medicine, etc etc it's all bullshit and it's not fucking harmless. there are people who will die due to this who would have otherwise lived.

descend upon them: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings... you are a gremlin in the comments now go be a paladin in the public comments

I learned recently that it’s an insult in Germany to call someone “hobbyless” or to engage in “hobbyless behavior” and it’s become my favorite way to think of assholes who have nothing better to do than to make other people miserable. Get a hobby. Build a model train and calm down.

yeah i dunno if "its pretty good at coding now" is gonna cover that

FYI robotics researchers unaffiliated with AV companies are a lot more skeptical of Waymo’s claims than Nolan here

"Human rights activists have warned for years that online age verification mandates are a gift to dictators and a danger to journalists and dissidents." My piece with @nathaliemarechal.net in today's @bostonglobe.com www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/22/o...

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

They think you're stupid.
