I don’t think it is progressive to force urban homeowners like me who live in fire-safe areas to pay higher home insurance premiums to subsidize people who choose to live in McMansions in places with very high fire risk.

Imagine if cities demanded the same of car manufacturers.

This ebike can go 30 mph!! Okay,

Five birds today!

babylon 5 is cheesy and dorky sometimes, and then sometimes they make a choice like having a news anchor break down and cry when going on air after a fascist leader is killed because they get to deliver their first uncensored broadcast in a long time and you're like goddamn

“For half a century, a litany of federal policies has favored large SUVs & trucks, pushing automakers & buyers toward larger models. Instead of counteracting #CarBloat thru regulation, policymakers have subtly encouraged it. That has been a boon for car companies but a disaster for everyone else.”

For 11+ years now, I have essentially had to witness a school of thought in the West that essentially argues that what has happened to Ukraine at Russia's hands has been earned by past sin, by excess nationalism, by all these nasty little things.

Stop using Spotify, there's ways to even transfer playlists. Tidal pay the most.

Playing Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time. Loved the early game where I'm just me doing open world stuff as I want, spent like 20 hours doing that and avoiding this heist mission. But post heist now that I'm suffering a fate worse than death at the hand of an evil Keanu??? Kinda don't want to play.

Look guys, if the gays can boycott the Eurovision, the very very very least you can do is boycott FIFA

I never thought I'd see the day where Trek becomes centrist action slop and star wars becomes the hyper-political thoughtful exploration of topical issues.

This is my city, except also add in the excuse "no, we don't want to tax rich homeowners in order to fund anything other than the police"

A lot of people think that if you hate modern trek, you probably just think it's too woke or something. Wrong, I think the problem with modern trek is that it isn't woke enough. We saw an actual evolved humanity and society, but modern trek devolves humanity to modern day attitudes and problems.

I love the discovery feed. -Cool bird picture. -Someone's warhammer model project. -A bunch of people I actually follow. -Absolutely random people's life updates. -Adult account posting how hungry they are for cum or need to be eaten and digested by a sex dragon.

Just learning now that welcome to Derry and Derry girls are not the same thing

When Biden gave the worst debate performance in history, my job as a neutral reporter was to write about it incessantly until he dropped out. When Trump gave the second worst debate performance in history, against Harris, my job was to lend credence to his claim that immigrants were eating pets.

The only people who endlessly complain about color revolutions are dipshit leftie campists and Q-pilled right-wingers and the thing they have in common is they're both huffing Russian propaganda

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

conservatives basically want to implement the caricature of affirmative action for conservative students. acceptance without meeting qualifications, good grades and degrees without having to do the work.

Banning street hockey in Canada? This isn’t about protecting kids. It’s about protecting drivers from having to think about kids.

“USians” is “sportsball” but for geopolitics

sometimes you just need to take a step back and marvel at the absurdity that is the left-NIMBY mindset these are not normal, rational people. they have descended into a bespoke form of madness

The Best Cycling City No One Talks About with (among many others) @burgundavia.bsky.social and @ryanjabs.bsky.social

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

maybe i am going insane

DOOR IS STUCK! DOOR IS STUCK! Please! I beg you!

Google's ability to read the very industry-standard appointment booking emails used to be flawless. "Add to calendar" and I could trust it. But it's been shitting the bed for the last couple months. Showed up to a far away appointment a day early because of google. Not trusting it at all anymore.

After discovering r/TVTooHigh, I can no longer look at photos with TVs normally. My brain involuntarily begins assessing the TV's distance from both the ceiling and the console. My eyes search for the Tilt of Shame. I reflexively recoil at the sight of a TV above a fireplace. It cannot be undone.

Taskmaster is the most consistently funny show on television/streaming. This last season was unexpectedly fantastic.

If you're looking for a Sunday morning read, our website team spent a lot of time writing code to make the animations on this article work, so give it a look, will ya? www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-...

In case you needed one more reason to boycott the Washington Post… Their editorial board has come out against releasing the Epstein files They’re dismissing them as having no public interest & praising Clay Higgins (the one “No” Vote in Congress) It’s safe to say some journalists are on the list!

quaid should start the reactor

Cities aren't loud, cars are Cities don't have a crime safety problem, they have a car safety problem Cities aren't overcrowded with people, they're overcrowded with cars

⚡️ “Nothing but a disgrace.” Sweden’s Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard warned that the EU has bought 124 billion dollars more in goods from Russia than the aid it has given Ukraine.

The eu all of a sudden

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

It's really easy to understand the Will Stancil hate when he focuses his particular brand of know-it-all on a subject you are actually passionate and knowledgeable about

Every morning these guys are waiting

I saw the creature feature that featured the creature and it was bad and an hour longer than it needed to be. Come on man, you know how to make a good movie.

As funny as it is to see the tankies fall over themselves to justify China and Russia’s actions at the UN with regard to Palestine, this should all be a reminder how genuine solidarity will never come from states but can only come from people

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

Yeah, yeah, wolves using tools, it's all very interesting and opens up entirely new vistas of understanding canine intelligence. But more importantly, this is poaching, and those wolves belong in jail.
