I'll never forgive my fellow Americans for electing this utter piece of shit. They enabled an entire government full of the worst human beings imaginable and most Americans are too ignorant to even understand what they've done.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

To put this loan amount in perspective:

California is spending $500 million to widen a 10-mile stretch of Highway 37 in the northern Bay Area (through a wetland, no less).

But $750 million to save the *entire* Bay Area’s transit systems is apparently infeasible.

what Americans seem to want is to be able to buy whatever product they want without government interference but also an ironclad guarantee that all store-sold products are safe, and we just need to recognize that these are contradictory ideas and we're gonna have to make people mad about the former

Kids need freedom. Dangerous roads make it hard to grant it. Bigger cars, distracted drivers and worried parents mean fewer kids are roaming freely.

The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.

this is an aside, but i continue to be fascinated by the visual language of MAGA, which is almost exclusively about constructing trump into some imagined avatar of dominance. it's an almost subconscious recognition that they've committed themselves to a man who is everything but the one they imagine

Funny how when Rogue One was first announced, I wondered if something as diaphanously light as Star Wars could support a more grounded exploration of war and fascism, and now the franchise has found its true voice (and relevancy) again in exactly that.

It's not very subtle but changing pediatric COVID vaccine language from "recommended" to "shared decision making with your provider" could potentially allow insurance companies to no longer pay for them based on this language in the ACA:
