Driving breaks your brain.

The craziest part is that we can all see photos in the news every day of soldiers successfully fighting a war, and see that being a physical specimen is not at all necessary.

Allons, enfants!

Nobody’s seen Mitch McConnell for three weeks? Buddy, he’s been busy playing left back for the French World Cup team.

Welcome aboard!

Mitch McConnell is unreachable because he is traveling to attend Khamenei’s funeral.

Far-right chuds, welcome to the war on cars.

Trump: It's not working! Why don't they love the fair? How do I make the crowds cheer? Oracle of DC: If you test your strength against the heat with a very long speech, the nation will celebrate harder than they ever have. They will party in the streets. No one will ever forget the night.

It is so much easier to get a college scholarship for being good at school than sports.

(bravely) I think it's good when a country has more citizens

"Stephen Miller wants to check if women are pregnant or not" is an ad I would run with pictures of his face everywhere.

Big developments in Sacramento's zoning code! -No bulk control(!) -Unlimited units. -45ft heights/FAR 2.0 within 1/2 mile of transit, 35ft/FAR 1.0 elsewhere. -15 ft front setbacks. -Staff approvals. And... that's it. The most ambitious reform anywhere. housesac.substack.com/p/the-promis...

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

"The disarming or overthrow of the enemy, whichever we call it, must always be the aim of Warfare unless one prefers the accumulation of a decisive advantage on points."

"But War is no pastime; no mere passion for venturing and winning; no work of a free enthusiasm: it is a serious means for a serious object: points."

This new translation of Clausewitz is 🔥. "Each strives by physical force to compel the other to submit to his will: each endeavours to throw his adversary, and thus render him incapable of further resistance or, where throwing proves taxing, to prevail narrowly on points."

We have three hilariously tall cypress trees in our back yard and today we hit a trifecta:

Another day, another stupid Excel chart.

The three players in this photo: 1. Nigerian heritage, grew up in England, and is only a citizen thanks to birthright citizenship. 2. Born + raised in Holland, has a dad who immigrated to the US from Suriname. 3. Said he wanted to “make people who look like me proud” while playing on Juneteenth

LMAO these losers are really attempting the Blazing Saddles gambit of pointing a gun at their own head and claiming they have a hostage.

Trained myself up in some basic HVAC skills (flaring copper lines, vacuum testing the coolant circuit) to install a heat pump in our detached studio. This thing rules! www.homedepot.com/p/Pioneer-Di...

Do you have an opinion about home batteries? Are they useful or are grid-scale batteries making them irrelevant? We have cheap electricity (SMUD, approx $150 per month in summer) so there’s not much save. But it would be nice to have guaranteed reliability and help with the clean energy transition.

The driver that doored Riley didn’t have car insurance, was driving on a suspended license, was parked in a no-parking zone, and opened his door in Riley’s path without looking. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/06/06/b...

The LA election discourse is a good reminder that Democrats are overly process focused and build well intentioned systems that move far too slowly, whereas Republicans are really stupid.

This is the official process for requesting neighborhood traffic calming in the City of Mill Valley, in Marin. There are 5 steps with a total of 19 sub-steps. It was passed in 2015. Does anyone want to guess how many times a neighborhood has successfully gotten traffic calming installed?

For the record, no traffic calming has been installed in Mill Valley through this program. It's is a great example of POSIWID. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_pur...

If you're a systems, workflow, process-doc genius who loves helping people collaborate more efficiently, you could be the wind beneath our newsroom's wings! This is a very rare FT permanent role at @baynature.org and I am very excited about it. baynature.org/wp-content/u...

So far, this has been the fastest energy transition in human by a good margin. And it's likely to only accelerate
