If this teen got 2gether w/peers, & they looked at their skills, and wrote out a fictional heist/scheme based on what they could do & it became a movie, I'd so watch that!

Watched Oceans 11 with the teen last night and decided that the answer to the male loneliness epidemic is more heists.

I'm weirdly curious as to why so many nerdy men of my generation turned into de-facto Nazis. I'm deeply uncool. I'm aware of this, but I didn't turn into a fascist. What the heck happened?

The Ride-Hail Utopia That Got Stuck in Traffic Uber and Lyft said they would ease congestion. Instead they made it worse.

Don’t forget, for many years #Uber insisted loudly that it would reduce traffic in cities. Instead, Uber drivers cruise without passengers 40% of the time. Uber and Lyft no longer claim they reduce traffic. They now admit they increase congestion.

So much for “making cities better…”

Feds gassed and tackled people in Elgin today, the same day Kristi Noem was in Chicago for a Christmas photo op, after a few weeks of relative quiet.

I'm remembering that old story about groundskeepers at Versailles who would only turn the palace fountains on when the king came by.

It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”

I'm just going to start calling them pro-disease at this point.

This is terrible. One model I've seen predicts hundreds of entirely preventable, hard deaths in the nearish future because of it.

But what terrifies me is that this is just a one shot in the ongoing campaign against vaccination in the US.

All of which is based on lies that have a long history. 1/

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

just talking to a couple friends who work with students. One told me that most of their college student english majors haven't read Hamlet.

The really shocking one though was my friend who works with high school kids who said they didn't know what the civil war was (?!)

According to Article 1(1) of the UN Convention against Torture, an act constitutes torture if four elements are present: (1) intention, (2) infliction of severe physical or mental pain or suffering, (3) a purpose such as coercion, intimidation, obtaining information or a confession, or discrimination and (4) a degree of official involvement.254 State agents at “Alligator Alcatraz” use the ‘box’ as a form of punishment. The conditions of the ‘box’ – an extremely small space that prevents sitting, lying or changing position –, combined with high temperatures and humidity levels, and the deprivation of water, sanitation and protection from harsh weather conditions and insects, would likely cause severe physical and psychological pain and suffering.255 Amnesty International considers that the use of the ‘box’ as a form of punishment at “Alligator Alcatraz” constitutes torture.

Amnesty International released findings from its investigation into the Everglades Concentration Camp (Alligator Alcatraz), which was built by the Florida Division of Emergency Management.

They found evidence of torture, among other human rights violations.

More industries want Trump’s help hiring immigrant labor after farms get a break • Stateline As food prices remain high, the Trump administration has made it easier for farmers to hire foreign guest workers and to pay them less. Now, other industries with large immigrant workforces also are asking for relief as they combat labor shortages and raids.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

I also sell these but if you want you can just buy from the guy himself.
I just like selling them in person because I think it's only when you hold these superbly designed objects that you start to really get how much care and craftsmanship went into making these.

US public transit advocates: Don't just envy Europe. Start by envying Canada.

Great piece on Montreal's remarkably cheap new rapid transit system.
