"War on cars" THERE IS A WAR ON WALKING. THE OLDEST AND MOST BASIC FORM OF TRANSPORTATION IS UNDER THREAT. Poor land use, zoning, and transportation decisions could be the direct culprit. Could your right to walk freely and to accomplish your basic needs be under threat?

The things that trump has said today are even more insane than usual. Like, I know we know he's insane, but I also feel like we can't just let these things go either. It doesn't matter how much of a landslide the midterms may or may not be

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

It's wild how many people will say "get these MEN out of girls sports!" Like, we're talking about children. There are no men or women here. They are all kids. The amount of grown ass adults who are eager to bully children is unconscionable.

There is quite literally no upside or positive to state-mandated executions. The worst people in our society are the only ones who get a thrill or satisfaction from it.

I've always been of the belief that executions and the "death penalty" shouldn't exist. The state shouldn't have the power to kill, and it's obviously not a deterrent to violent crime in any way. It's more expensive to put someone to death than it is to keep them alive in prison for life.

I definitely made some of those posts in frustration. I really do appreciate all the real people that are reading my silly little posts. But I agree - I often think my human brain is trying to absorb more information than it was ever meant to absorb.

Bluesky is probably one of the best out there, but even this app is filled with AI posts, bots, and scams. Humans just weren't meant to look at screens all day by design and since I already do that for a living, I need to limit it somewhere.

Not literally to the last bit, but I feel like I need a disruption to my monotony, and an end to many of the things that I feel are unethical might be a good start. I experience a lot of FOMO, but I quite honestly should be intentionally missing out on some of this collective brainrot.

Diminishing your overall capacity and amenities to cater to less than half a dozen car owners is crazy work. But what do I know?

I think small business owners in urban areas overestimate how many patrons actually arrive by car. If you think you need a parking space for every booth or bar stool near downtown Seattle, you're delusional, sorry.

My local bar and burger place just demolished its outdoor seating area for 5 parking spots. It's a no-brainer, according to the owner. They quite literally have a bus stop right in front of their front door. People are so not normal about parking.

Was feeling mentally icky so I decided to clean up this corner of the kitchen. I feel marginally better and it's way less gross and bad to look at over here.

Right? Many Albertans want to be American so badly, and a huge chunk of Washingtonians want to be Canadian. Why not?

This person cannot be real. I don't have the energy to redact names.
Jennifer doubling down on victim-blaming and then calling someone else a jerk because they didn't immediately show sympathy when she tried to victimize herself. My comment is basically just disbelief.

I'm genuinely angry that I have to "share" the road with drivers who actually feel this way about their fellow humans. Soulless ghoul behavior.

Jennifer chose violence in the neighborhood FB group this morning, so I responded in kind.
Comment from neighbor: Speaking as a bike commuter & walker, I love No Right Turn on Red! My friend was killed in Capitol Hill this year by a car turning right on red and not looking. This saves lives and does not significantly increase your driving commute time enough to treat this like a major problem.

Jennifer: I’m sorry about your friend. Hit while walking? I ask because sometimes bicyclist are not as careful as they should be either. I bike and drive btw. 
You are wrong though that no turn on reds do increase traffic time especially in these times of increased construction. 
We do need our economy to run and sometimes that means getting somewhere in a reasonable time with all the return to work mandates.

Me (Andy): Jennifer "Sorry your friend died. Was it their fault? My 5 saved seconds are more important than their life anyway". Utterly deranged comment. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Wow, I had no idea how many NFL games are being played internationally. Fascinating!
A few paragraphs of a BBC article explaining NFL teams will play in several places outside of the US this season: Melbourne, Mexico, Rio, Paris, Madrid, and Munich.

Also, only when I watch sports am I subjected to not only advertisements, but advertisements about AI. Even the ones not about AI seem like they could arguably be using AI because they're either plasticky smooth or just nonsensical.

Multiple pedestrians and cyclists have been killed by drivers this year, just in Seattle. And drivers are constantly killing each other, whether it's with cars or guns. Everyone just seems to be on edge and trigger happy these days. Marginally understandable but deeply disturbing nonetheless.

Not to feed into the Public Fear Machine or anything, but it at least feels like the number of random shootings and stabbings and also road violence has been high this year. People were killed less than a block from the window I slept near for a year in Belltown.
