Corruption eats away at the state, and when it comes from the very top, it sends a signal down through society that paying your taxes, or following the rules, makes you a sucker. It hollows out countries and makes them poor

This is who runs this account

:(

Made I the image of... I'm sorry, what was that?

Sounds like an excellent time for everyone involved!

was recently in a bar in Brooklyn at Baby Hour (5pm) even though my own kid was at home. anyway, when I looked up from my beer and my romance novel, a very cute baby who was having the time of her life graced me with a smile, I waved at her, A+ experience, no notes

Is there a phased plan for additional changes on the other stretch(es) of road?

Want to solve fiscal stability and build wealth? Add PEOPLE.

"1 BILLION AMERICANS" is literally what we need to just not beggar our society by what we have already built!!!!

Sorry, most cities: fertility rates are crashing *and* we are collapsing our ability to attract immigrants.

Before they cut it down to expand the School of Business, I used to eat a small handful of acorns for much every day throughout the fall. The nuts fell from an *enormous* Quercus muehlenbergii - they were sweeter than almonds.

there are 2,781 billionaires in the world so a few of you will have to scooch together for a bit

Martyrs of Gaza @GazaMartyrs This is my will and my final message. If my words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. God knows that I have given all my effort and strength to be a support and a voice for my people since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that God would grant me life to return with my family and loved ones to our original town of Ashkelon (Al-Majdal), occupied land. But God's will was swifter, and His decree is binding. I lived pain in all its details, tasted grief and loss repeatedly, yet I never hesitated to convey the truth as it is—-without distortion or falsification— hoping God would bear witness against those who remained silent, those who accepted our killing, those who besieged our breaths, and whose hearts were not moved by the shattered bodies of our children and women, nor did they stop the massacre our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine, the jewel of the Muslim world and the pulse of every free heart in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its innocent children who were not granted the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart, their remains scattered on the walls. l urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward liberating the land and the people until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you with my family. I entrust you with the apple of my eye, my beloved daughter, Sham, whom fate did not allow me to see grow as I dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son, Salah, whom I wished to support and accompany until he grew strong, carrying my burden and continuing the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose prayers were the reason I reached where I did. Her supplications were my fortress, and her light my path. I pray God to ease her heart and reward her abundantly on my behalf. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah Bayan, from whom war separated us for long days and months, but who remained faithful, steadfast like an olive tree trunk that never bends, patient and devout, carrying the trust in my absence with strength and faith. I urge you to gather around them and be their support after God Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast on my principles, bearing witness to God that I am satisfied with His decree, believing in meeting Him, and certain that what is with God is better and everlasting. O God, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path to freedom for my people and family.

Forgive me if I fell short, and pray for me mercy, for I have remained true to the covenant, never changing or betraying it. Do not forget Gaza... And do not forget me in your good prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what Anas ordered to be published upon his martyrdom.

Anas Al Sharif had these words to publish if he was martyred which he was tonight as Israel starts the invasion of Gaza City

Deep cut! Are they still going?

Lordy ow ow OW

He hits the nail on the head so hard I flinched

This fuckin guy

A zoom image of the greater Salish Sea and Puget lowlands area weather stations. Water is blue, land is mostly ecru.

UW Atmospheroc Sciences live weather station map shows Anacortes reaching 85 degrees Fahrenheit, the warmest station in the central Salish Sea (unusual!)

Courtenay, BC is warmer at 90, and Seattle + south Puget Sound reading 87 and greater. It's toasty. Drink water! Get salt!

Oh my God. Anas had one of the biggest platforms among journalists in Gaza. He was just killed in a targeted strike on the Al Jazeera tent. Comes after Israel targeted and murdered hundreds of other journalists.

This is intentional and purposeful to erase news coming out of Gaza. No doubt.

Sing it! SING IT!

Awesome

Electric eels

🇮🇱 Des dizaines de milliers de manifestants sont descendus samedi à Tel-Aviv pour appeler à la fin de la guerre dans la bande de Gaza, au lendemain de l'annonce du plan israélien pour la conquête de la ville de Gaza, la plus grande du territoire palestinien.

Agree and support as an Urban Planner, Spatial Planner, and Urban Designer

Preference is design, engineer and incentivise with them first to mould behaviour (which is what Spatial Planning does)

Enforcement (or push) is the last step
Not the first as Tarnado points out very 💯

I will honestly disagree with you here - the dominant attitude from advocates is an "engineering first" approach that appreciates the nuances of human behavior.

The dominant attitude I encounter from many incumbent traffic engineering practitioners, however, is often "enforcement first."

Also, my spouse's extended (Protestant, very conservative) family came for lunch and *openly* discussed... well, let's just say they intimated they would have voted for Mamdani or Wilson

GOP is *dead* yall

This is very much "social engineering is a thing that only causes change, but never is the cause of the thing itself" fallacy that can also be called "windshield-brain sensu lato"

A cedarhrape arbor structure near the street with a table and chairs placed underneath it, on a golden dead lawn

Uff da, it's the hottest day of the year. The grapes only just got planted, but our grape arbor put by the sidewalk is already a social center of the neighborhood. We've got a spontaneous party going on ... and the in-laws... and my buddy is up helping me fix the front of the house... and tunes...

Oh lawd she treadin

I would allow it
