The link between local news coverage and Americans’ perceptions of crime Roughly three-quarters of adults (77%) say they often or sometimes get local news and information about crime.

Came across this year old piece at Pew. People need better ways to inform themselves about societal reality. The problems that actually exist are so often not what people perceive. Crime isn't that bad, yet people think we live in an anarchic state.

A retro-style poster of a kayaker waving to a boater on the Erie Canal as bicyclists ride through evening farmland along the canal.

Riding a bike, kayaking, or boating on the Erie Canal is a journey thru America of yesteryear as driving Route 66. It was a huge honor to be asked to design this for their Bicentennial. They have made a pdf to download and print your own. #art edge.sitecorecloud.io/newyorkpowe2...

Love this, just for the stork.

Chill it's just a friendly in early August.

The great acceleration debate Why the consilience of evidence points toward acceleration

If you're a stat nerd and interested about the climate this article is for you. It shows our climate accelerating higher in recent years, a scary proposition. I'm curious if this is the result of feedback loops or basic exponential growth.

We sadly need to continually remind the public, not just bluesky types, about all the horrific acts that have gone on. People forget really quickly.

Agreed, with one tweak: the Senate definitely needs reform, but a bi-cameral system has it's advantages (do you really want the current house to have free reign).

Nah, don't block, that's just too easy.

Block or not. 🤔

It's not a bad thing people are listening ... I think.

Everyone's listening, all the time. You need more paranoia.

This would have some kink appeal to a segment of people in Iowa.

I put it on Twitter, but he'll probably never see it. It's worse than ever.

The damn things keep popping up over here (US), they're like moving billboards of dumbfuckery.

Best evidence ever that people are generally very ignorant.

He's an idiot. That's all.

I'm choosing to take this literally.

How many Pics of them are there? Or are some fake? They were together a ton it would seem.

Always suspected this was the skirts real utility.

I've never seen someone so repugnant. I'm not violent at all, but he just screams, beat me to a pulp I deserve it.

Anyone that believes a word of this has no sense whatsoever.

Also sorry anyone put you through that. This should be rooted out of our culture.

I think some of them like this aspect too. It's a hidden trait in the US that he tapped into, I always remember him mocking that handicapped guy in 2016 and thought some will actually like this cretin. Sadly I was right.

Your anger is appropriate. He's such an obvious abuser, only people with no common sense couldn't see this.

He's such a a bad con man how did so many people fall for this BS.

The hypocrisy attached to him and his followers is a monumental achievement of assholery.

She went through so much and was brave in the aftermath. We could all learn from her what standing up for yourself is all about.

That letter was so pathetic. "I'm sorry I'm cheating, but it's really the concert's fault." This is leadership in the 21st century.

This was a great read. Very interested to see what Akbar will do next. There were some slight problems with the plot, but his beautiful prose and the depth of characters more than made up for it.

i really can't get over what rank choice voting does to the dynamic of campaigns and between candidates

regardless of its merits (which seem very good), it's just a healthier political dynamic
