Can we also stop with the whole "No Farmers No Food" narrative, which I think a lot of "rural America is pure and wholesome" springs from? Industrial farms make our economy possible but so do the people who make sure our kitchen appliances don't catch on fire.

the cheap usb-c electronics that only charge with a usb-a power brick are always confusing and I wonder how many perfectly good items have been thrown away because of it

Good thread explaining the census data on housing vacancy.

Amtrak: Which of these is the least comfortable? We’ll take 10,000 of those, please. Also, can they be made less comfortable, somehow?

my scientists say to me, mr president, we got the best medbeds in the world. i saw on tv they recreated a woman from just her hand. beautiful woman by the way, it’s amazing what science can do. then the channel switched to a loud talk show host on a cruise. i didn’t care for him

what frustrates me is how ahistorical it is it makes me think of the magnificent Execution of Torrijos painting: liberal soldiers coming to terms with their imminent execution for fighting against absolutist monarchy. liberalism cannot be taken for granted, it is something we must fight for

One of my biggest bugbears is the classist opinions that a *wide* swath of American hold about manufactured housing (i.e. mobile homes, trailers). Manufactured homes are Good Actually and we should repeal laws that discriminate against them.

This absolute banger

“We regret to inform you—Castellanos with a long drive, deep center field—Donald John Trump has passed away. 45th and 47th president of the United States. Home run for Castellanos, Phillies are up 4 to 3.” “It’s weird, though, right Tom?” “Sure is.”

Can anyone in Boston give me an update on this

the problem with urban liberals is that they get offended at you just because you tell them insulting lies about crime rates in their neighborhood

In the US, private jets are subsidized to the tune of $1 billion annually by commercial air passengers because of the unjust structure of the Federal Aviation Administration’s fees. In essence, the US aviation system is structured to prioritize the least efficient, most polluting form of travel.

the absolute barrage of SEPTA "lack of funding" audio announcements is having me root for the bad guys

not that I want to be calling SEPTA's bluff but cutting the Paoli line is just playing politics, right? It's their highest ridership RR line. Are Amtrak's fees really that high that it negates the highest fairbox recovery in the system?

I hear a lot about how big tech apparently funds YIMBYism but I really do not think that “major Bay Area employers want to reduce Bay Area housing costs so they can hire and retain workers more easily” is the outrageous scandal that people make it out to be.

Construction has begun on NYC's "deliverista hub," converting an abandoned City Hall newsstand into a place for workers to charge their batteries, access resources, and park their bikes. The hub will be a small piece of a larger patchwork of city infrastructure these 80,000 plus workers rely on.

It's a bizarre and frankly alienating feeling realizing that if you know the basic fact that the murder rate has gone down significantly since 1990 you're in the ~90th+ percentile of fact-knowers

The DNC needs to rein this stuff in because letting it continue (a) risks burning out its small dollar donors and (b) makes it harder for advocacy groups to reach our members and activate them around key votes.

I think the weirdest stadium in Canadian history is the Autostade in Montreal, home of the Montreal Alouettes from 1968-1976. Built for Expo 67 as a brutalist starburst of 19 separate concrete grandstands. Never seen another football stadium with this layout.

Phenomenal story of "We want American manufacturing. Wait, no not like that". A great combination of NIMBY-ism and racism. www.npr.org/2025/06/06/1...
