Art of the Day - a city street that prioritizes people and homes rather than parking for @yimbyaction.bsky.social! Streets make up most of the public land in our cities, they can be used for so much more besides vehicle storage.

Watercolor and ink drawing of a city street. The point of view is from a 2nd story balcony. At the lower right, a person holds a coffee cup and looks towards a neighbor in the window in the next apartment over.

The street has apartment buildings on both sides with shops on the ground floor. In the background is more housing, including 3-story townhouses, and taller buildings. There are trees and streetlamps along the street, and birbs in the sky.

The street is closed to cars and has bikes and people walking through it, as well as kids playing ball. There is an extra wide sidewalk with benches, bike parking, and a sidewalk cafe with umbrella.

Department of Justice declares it has a new sweeping power to use antitrust laws to regulate the *marketplace of ideas* because words have no meaning and the federal government is run by a bunch of feckless thugs with the collective IQ of hamster bedding. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

Department's Antitrust Division. "This Antitrust Division will always defend the principle that the
antitrust laws protect free markets, including the marketplace of ideas."

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

"I believe in Florida's vision for higher education." Didn't they just bodybag academic freedom in Florida?

finding out that (1) francis I stacked the college of cardinals with his picks so the voting body skewed (more) liberal (2) the conclave is limited to voting cardinals under the age of 80 has been mildly upsetting lol. there should be absolutely no takeaways for modern society in the vatican

Pope needs to issue a ruling ex cathedra finally putting to rest the "do RTs = endorsements?" controversy

We all must now address the important political, liturgical, and journalistic question: Is posting an auto-generated headline article share tweet the same thing as tweeting the phrase that is that headline?

Radical opinion of the day: on-street parking is a bad use of public land. Especially in extremely walkable places like @downtownroyaloak.bsky.social the space should be reserved for 15-minute parking, ride-share pickups, and handicap accessible spots.

In the 2.5 months I've worked in Detroit, I've lost track of the number of cars I've seen in the bike lanes (which includes at least one cop). What a great way for the city to warn revenue.

People on Reddit said Douglas Tallamy's Nature's Best Hope radicalized them, so obviously I immediately borrowed it from the library. I will now proceed to "live tweet" (live sky?) quotes I like from it.

The children's books that Sam Alito says convey "highly objectionable moral principles" are standard-issue storybooks with gay and trans characters. They don't teach anything about "gender and sexuality." Alito is just a homophobe who doesn't want to see it. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/mahmo...

Let’s Take a Look at the Children’s Books Sam Alito Is So Afraid Of

Stories like "Uncle Bobby's Wedding" are only objectionable if you find the very existence of LGBTQ people to be objectionable.

Guys, you're still trying to replace FDR. I told you we can't do it, and we can't do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him. Re-create him in the aggregate.

Despite having a dearth of followers, I have been wanting my first posts to be my own thoughts, clever and original. But I'm too tired for that, and I follow a lot of smart and funny people who know a lot about a lot, so I'm just gonna start re-posting (re-blueing? What's the word on here?)
