A screenshot of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, with Luke defiantly standing against the Emperor. The 90s-style captions read: "You've failed, your highness. I'm forklift certified, like my father before me."

i have had all of these multiple times in America? Very weird stuff

I’d maybe sit this one out buddy

Jokes and comedy are an entertaining way to talk about ideas. When you say something in a way that makes people laugh, *you are still saying that thing.*

One awful piece is housing discourse is that people don't realize that with shrinking household sizes an area needs more housing units just to maintain the current population. Not building inevitably leads to a smaller population and fewer children.

I don't know why they're making more GI Joe movies, the perfect adaptation already exists

I feel like i've seen this a million times, where someone just posts nonsense or innuendo and then people repeat it until it just becomes something people "know" happened even though it never did bsky.app/profile/jame...

I agree, and it'd be nice to have a set of policies that Waymo in its current incarnation can operate under but the bad actors can't

Yeah, maybe! It's hard to say. But I think it will be a *service* and not a *feature*

I am optimistic about self-driving car tech, but I suspect that they will remain fleet-only for quite awhile, maybe indefinitely.

i think they are selling two completely different products FWIW

I remember getting lunch at a very tasty Korean restaurant nestled deep inside the complex somewhere

Yeah, I am sympathetic to that but I'm also trying to square it with the fact that Waymo has released *detailed* public reports of even pretty minor accidents they've been involved in

indeed, I think it would be cool if minimum insurance liability were increased like 10x

Yeah, my stomach goes into knots pretty quickly when I have more than two beers these days. I think I might be able to handle this but it'd be a challenge

i think for all practical purposes it is impossible to make the modal driver feel any shame for their driving behavior

There's a lot of that, yes, but there are also a ton of train stations and developments like Roppongi, that I remember

I think it's pretty common in Tokyo already FWIW and they do make it work in many contexts. Helps to just have a shitload of people using it

Tokyo is great for pedestrians but I actually think it's pretty Las Vegas-like in that you're funneled through a lot of various structures, malls, train stations, tunnels, and other infrastructure instead of having a uniform accessible street-level grid

ideally, yes, in practice, drivers are rarely given significant consequences for all but the most brazen instances of traffic violence

I should write a bot that shorts Disney stock the moment there's any news that a Star Wars/Marvel crossover film is in development

*sighs heavily*

CenturyLink (which became Lumen then was bought AT&T) is a pretty terrible company, but they installed fiber across Portland and the existence of multiple non-terrible options has really made Comcast drop its prices to compete

The Columnist I perceive myself as being someone who takes the agency of individual people very seriously, and think that It’s important to remind ourselves, continuously, that our choices actually do matt…

i've always wondered what the job of newspaper columnist is like, so, for this month's WORK IS FOUR LETTERS, i decided to go ask a newspaper columnist about it. @jamellebouie.net was kind enough to make time to talk to me about his work, and i'm really pleased to share it with you.

I agree, but the buildings are also fairly ugly

I gotta say, many of the panelhaz neighborhoods of Budapest were pretty grim urban design and I think they could have done it a whole lot batter
