Leading democratic politicians should make plans to be in Springfield on February 4th

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Germans wonder too, now I feel less alone in my ignorance

Really tough to focus on work right now but here’s the latest

I guess I don’t mean “we.” It’s really Minnesotans who are putting their literal lives on the line to deliver this message

They really did think when they started abducting people we’d all go along with it because we’re all secretly malicious xenophobes like them. Related, they’ve never believed virtue is real, only “virtue signaling”

Would be optimal but we don’t have the votes

Other coast, I do like Sanibel/Captiva tho

Amazing that the guy whose career was resuscitated by saying “you’re fired” every week hasn’t fired anyone at the very moment when they all should be

The number of people who get their political information/views from TikTok is about to become hugely problematic (if it wasn’t already)

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

It’s possible we live in a country where 25-35% of the population thinks it’s good and just that masked armies are sent into blue cities to execute people who vote the wrong way

we are going to win

Bookmarked the hell out of this

Keynoting the Grow Smart Academy March 3 at the Kentucky Theater

Lexington in March! Big venue for this one, it’s gonna be a ton of fun. (Hope to see some Cincy and Louisville folks come out too!)

CityNerd — Cars Are A Disaster For Society -- Here Are the Numbers Most people don't even really grasp how much they really pay for driving when all personal costs are included. Well, the story gets much worse when you consider the EXTERNALITIES of driving, meaning, ...

This is great by @nerd4cities.bsky.social

they're trying to get him to midterms like an old Civic dropping parts and smoking two miles from the nearest exit

I feel like there was a video where I broke out the boroughs and looked at that. Or maybe I analyzed it then cut it?

Ooohhh I like this, begging unnecessary

Mentioned in next week’s video

Hahaha only if I get to climb around on more viaducts

Oh this is cool

Just in case anyone is in suspense, no new YouTube video until next Wednesday. January is my chill month 🏝️

The cognitive dissonance of constantly reading that I need to spend some time mastering generative AI while not knowing a single person in my industry who uses it to do good work 🤙

a few nights ago i rode a bus for about 15 minutes or so. once it got close to the stop near my home i hit the button to request a stop. soon after, the bus driver stopped the bus and let me off

Oh this is good

I don’t know what checkers is but I concede it’s peak

Lol I’ve seen this

Coming back to NYC in late April. I’ve got a few ideas, but what do you all think I should film and make a video about while I’m there?

Also I’d love to see coverage of this sort of survey distinguish between “eggs are too expensive” 37% and “attacking American cities and destroying our standing in the world” 37%
