The biggest drawback of driverless cars Driverless cars could save thousands of lives. They might also break our cities.

"AVs almost by definition lower the friction and costs associated with driving ... And we already know, from the last century-plus of experience in the US, what happens when we make driving easier: We will get more of it. And more concrete and asphalt infrastructure to accommodate it." #UrbanTruth

Why is this train being pulled by a cup from a corporate watercooler circa 1992?

And even if he votes like an asshat, kicking him out of the caucus is counterproductive (unless we can convince him to resign)--might as well wring what good we can out of his injury-riddled brain.

Oof, I didn't know about this one. What a chud. Arizona can do better (he said, hopefully).

Seriously AND literally (they're a good dog)

Between endorsing Platner and "big-ass truck abundance", Ruben Gallego is showing a real weakness for dumb shit that smacks of gender.

A lot of people are just unable to understand that housing markets operate at the metro-area level. They think that because they personally have strong preferences related to neighborhood, every single person does.

OK, but that's because they're a heavily cash business, which is due to the fact that it's still illegal at the federal level. Don't blame legal weed for something that's the fault of prohibition.

It's like the cheap, rushed-to-production prequel to "I have no mouth and I must scream".

The way this city, of all cities, treats driving as a human right is maddening.

That seems fine to me? She got fired, not murdered.

That way, there's nobody to blame for high parking prices except your neighbors.

It seems like an auction system might help. Have everyone who wants a permit bid the highest amount they'd be willing to pay. If there are X spots available, issue permits to the highest X*0.85 bids, and they all get charged the lowest winning price.

Like the porn remake of "Speed"

Network effects are real, so leaving Twitter really is hard; the people who are so motivated that they overcome that are disproportionately political.

Camping out for StS 2? Hopefully Steam is back by the end of the workday, that's my evening plans.

I don't know how much that matters--from a user perspective, it still induces that nervousness of "holy shit I'm crossing an active rail track".

I agree with you, but the public is dumb and sucks and you have to throw them something. This is on the less-harmful end of what you can throw them, I think.

‘Sports cold war’: How the Middle East conflict could disrupt the World Cup With Donald Trump saying he doesn't care if Iran participates, the country may be left with no choice but to pull out.

It's "in doubt"--I don't think anyone knows for sure, but I'd bet against them playing. www.aljazeera.com/sports/2026/...

The U.S./Israeli bombing of the school in Tehran is less the fault of AI than of the original decision to attack Iran. Targeting errors are entirely predictable in war, whether made by humans or by AI. Critique of operational flaws can inadvertently serve to cleanse a strategic choice of its evil

'Stupendous Potential': Pay-Per-Mile Auto Insurance Would Cut Costs And Traffic Violence - Streetsblog New York City Lowering car insurance costs doesn't have to eviscerate crash victims's rights.

Rather than chipping away at crash victims’ rights in order to lower car insurance costs, Gov. Hochul should push pay-as-you-drive auto insurance, which would reduce costs while also cutting driving, crashes and pollution. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/05/s...

Donald Trump increases the defense budget last year from $874 billion to $1 trillion. He says he wants $1.5 trillion this year. Now he wants $50 billion more for his Iran War. Every Democrat should be screaming about the military budget, not cutting deals to keep raising it.

Fetterman's just a gutter racist at this point

Murderers. Democrats need to ensure these agents are prosecuted, along with the leaders in charge.

Convinced that the Venn diagram of people saying there is never any excuse for cyclists breaking the law and people saying their car has to be capable of doing 100mph over the speed limit in case they need to avoid an accident is a circle.

That sounds like an extremely obscure Batman villain

If someone did to us what we've done to Iran, we'd have no problem identifying it as a war

I'm teaching about early 20th century eugenics today and was reminded that 9 years ago Republican Representative Steve King was stripped of his committee assignments by his GOP colleagues for this post that simply states what is now bog standard GOP policy/rhetoric on immigration and "civilization."

No, you're just taking money from the person on the other side of the bet--Kalshi/Polymarket make their money on fees.

When you look at literally any planned freeway that *did not* get built, it becomes clear what a disaster it would have been, and we can see what we would now be missing.

Looking at the freeways that did get built, it's much harder to know what we lost.
