Fascinating study. Note that this is 1 in 10 adults. Factor in children and the percentage of non-driving Americans is much higher. Cities and towns need to account for their mobility needs too.

Fixed it, NY Times: “The consequences *of GOP healthcare cuts* are potentially pretty dire …”

Destroy car dealerships and you save US democracy

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

Hear, hear!

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Yup. Their next step is to “personal responsibility” autism. Anything but providing social support for families and people with autism. And remember, it’s always downstream of tax breaks for the wealthy.

Watching a panel on "urbanism as climate action." This is a huge, burgeoning field/idea/movement, but the desiccated boomer counsels who decide where climate funding goes are *clueless* about it and so it has to seek funding elsewhere.

Their tough guy act sure seems to disappear anytime the rest of us stick together and tell them to get fucked.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/e...

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

You can be a “car guy” and not like car dependency. You can be a “car guy” and get that too many cars in cities is bad for everyone, including drivers. You can be a “car guy” and be tired of lies & manipulations like “the war on cars.” You can be a “car guy” and know more choice means more freedom.

I'd love to read a book that critically explores the inextricable entanglement of white supremacy and the automobile in America; and their further entanglement with manifesting the Apocalyptic, including everything from climate warlordism to manufactured suburban blight

Got my COVID booster today. Fuck RFKJ.

Dutch TV saying what you can’t say anymore in America.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Oh, you know the ones.

What???

It’s always the cars

Statement from @postguild.bsky.social on the firing of Karen Attiah:

If you want a covid vaccine and can get it in your area, you should do that before Friday.

Grok is being sent to the reeducation camp

RFK Jr. says America is terribly unhealthy. If you compare the US to, say, the UK the EU Australia, Japan, Canada, or any other developed country, he’s absolutely right. The difference is not vaccinations, though. Those countries all have vaccinations. The difference is universal healthcare.

“He said one good thing he actually didn’t believe.” - Charlie Kirk on MLK

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Instead of the media’s lazy posthumous takes, I am in favor of Kirk’s actual words being spread far and wide.

There’s a huge opportunity here for green social housing. Even with these zoning changes, new construction faces headwinds, especially for lower-income residents. But the state is now opening space—literally—for the subsidized construction of beautiful, climate-friendly, mixed-income homes.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

In all seriousness, I'd love to see a reporter try to get comments from all of these people about their initial impulse to declare a literal war on half of their fellow citizens and to see if any of them regret it, apologized for it or learned anything at all from it.

One thing I don’t like about the current moment is that there is no distance off the main roads you can get to be able to go for a walk without having to run into the ditch to avoid some bitch ass loser in a lifted truck doing 90 spraying rocks & dust all over creation

This is a big win for more housing near transit, which is good for housing supply and for transit, which will have more riders living conveniently nearby.

Exactly.

Convicted felon and adjudicated rapist says what?

Tyler Robinson has been ID'ed as the Kirk shooter. Raised in the stereotypical All-American white conservative family with a sheriff for a father, Tyler grew up around guns and knew how to use them. It's the guns.

Dispatch from a country where the rule of law is stronger than a wannabe dictator.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.

Dripped out transit workers.

I am usually more sanguine than some others when the Supreme Court hands down nasty opinions, but y'all, I am really stuck on Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo. Presidential immunity was dangerous but unsurprising. Many other shadow docket rulings have been dumbfounding. Today was nakedly invidious.

They're just rounding up brown people, and now they don't even have to lie about it.

It bothers me people are dunking on Kavanaugh for being dumb about the 4th Amendment when the dude is just being straight-up evil. He has clerks and doubtless sketchy Wormtongue advisors from Heritage and all the resources of the highest court. Not dumb. Evil.

“There wasn’t a bike lane, so I was having to bicycle in traffic, and that’s why I got hit,” Mehlinger told San José Spotlight. “Frankly, I’m really lucky to be alive.”

If Newsom goes back on his promise here it may end up being one of the defining moments of his time as governor. Just an unmitigated disaster. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

I feel grateful that I once knew how good America could be. Felt that moment when Barack Obama was elected, thinking we might finally be breaking some old, brittle barriers. Sigh.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

This makes zero sense from a public safety perspective, but from a private prison business plan perspective it makes perfect sense.
