Yesterday I learned that a kid I coached on a few youth soccer teams died of heart failure a couple months into his freshman year of college. He was 18. I have trouble processing how you could be a parent and cope with that kind of a loss without imploding.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

👏

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

She is unrepentant

Shouldn't argh

I get that but my view is that the driving public has come to expect/demand that their needs are met and funded and there's absolutely no reason users of transit should demand better service as well as cheaper service.

LOL I actually agree with this but in my experience if I've stated something like this my mentions are all angry replies from people I consider allies saying this is an immutably bad idea that will 100% hurt cities.

I am historically a "dog person" but have really enjoyed living with cats for the past 10 years. Last night, one of our cats brought an injured finch into the dining room and I'll admit it's still disorienting to know that I'm sharing a home with a couple of serial killers.

In any case, I think using the word "tooling" in my OP is not accurate.

Yes, that's a pretty significant mistake in my post, which I should have caught myself. Thank you.

If you care about road violence, policing, and media coverage of fatal bike crashes, this case—where attorneys for Flint PD are blaming a (drunk) rider for his own death despite obvious police negligence—is super interesting. www.mlive.com/news/flint/2...

Terrific

Many folks in the advocacy community know that efforts to lower driving speeds save lives...so in most places we're left to grapple with this reality where we know that most people and institutions choose to accept a certain amount of preventable human suffering as unavoidable collateral damage.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Most folks have the good sense that if they see a piece of dogshit on the ground, they don't get down on their hands and knees to smell it. And yet if they see the New York Times runs a fawning profile of Olivia Nuzzi, they lose their minds, settle into the couch and inhale the putrid feculence.

Ornament of "the catch" from the World Series

I think whomever realized that this could be a Christmas ornament (and figured out the funding, tooling and logistics) deserves free drinks for life in Los Angeles county.

We’ve had an uptick of coyote attacks in our neighborhood so we’re keeping the cats inside after dark. My pal Feta is annoyed by the new policy and was grumpy for a few hours last night.

Photo (by Jeff Gates) of a condemned home that sat in the path of the future 105 freeway in South Los Angeles.

Photos of the 105/110 interchange always remind me of all the harm caused by car dependency. The 105, the last freeway built in LA, was built after a swath of lower income, primarily Black communities were razed, replaced by infrastructure that remains a blight and a huge source of noise pollution.

No amount of scandals and convictions involving priests, coaches, teachers, executives, politicians, TV personalities, uncles—a tidal wave of actual sexual abuse by cis men—can alter this weird preoccupation with trans folks and the theoretical mania that they pose a systemic threat to women.

The new batch of Epstein emails makes me ponder the folks deeply outraged by trans people who want to do sports because they think it harms women. Decades of hard proof that cis men who abuse their power to harm women in the worst ways are the actual threat can alter this counterfactual obsession.

Yes. Like we have to destroy the planet so barely literate people can compose normal emails and create memes.

bros FWIW

When you read the barely coherent emails it's easier to understand why rich tech pros like ChatGP.

Really great video

Rewatching earlier seasons of Stranger Things to prep for season 5. Forgot how beautiful it is. I love how all the young characters are such well developed and acted. Plus, shitloads of awesome bike moments.
