So much of what we’re living through right now, from Trump to AI, feels like it’s driven by an explicit strategy of “we just do the crimes so quickly that we can’t be stopped and by the time the courts weigh in, they have no choice but to accept our crimes.” www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-the-a...

I know nobody wants to hear this, but you can in fact simply stop watching any material produced by The Ellison Entertainment Corporation. And Disney. And Amazon. You can just...stop. A lot of people get mad about this stuff but are wholly unwilling to alter their behavior in response to it.

Eternal wisdom from Mr. Money Moustache: www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/04/22/c...
"But there’s more to it than that. When you use a 3500-pound car to transport your 150-pound self around, 96 percent of the weight of that clump of matter is the car. You’re moving 25 times more junk around than you need to, and thus using 25 times more energy to do it.

Imagine that you’re hungry for lunch, so you go to a restaurant. But you don’t just order yourself a blackened salmon salad for $15.00. You order twenty five salads for $375.00! Then, you eat one of them, and leave the other 24 blackened salmon salads, $360.00 worth of food, to get collected by the waiter and slopped unceremoniously into a big black garbage bag. All that fine wild-caught Alaskan Salmon, lovingly seasoned and grilled. All the fine crumbles of feta cheese, the mango salsa, diced green onion, shaved peppers, rich zingy dressing, and everything else the chef worked on for hours – plopped into the slimy garbage bag. This is exactly what you are doing, every time you drive!"

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

If my math is correct, this would cost ~$1.35T. That is like 19% of the annual US budget. All of Medicare costs like $1.2T. Just absolute buffoonery.

Critical mass is a protest, visibility, and solidarity ride where cyclists - sometimes dozens but often hundreds of us - take to the streets in sufficient numbers that -briefly- we merely become traffic. It’s generally a super friendly and positive event. C’mon out. Great night for a ride.

You can easily ride a bike in a manner that makes it 99.99999% safe to ride helmet free, which is why Amsterdam is not a bloodbath every single day. It is not a city full of stupid and reckless yet wildly lucky people. This argument is unbearably stupid once you've seen how things *can* be done.

We get told to "learn to take a joke" when drivers laugh about hitting pedestrians & micromobility users that get in their way. We get told that drivers threatening us or revving their engine at us wouldn't actually hurt us & not to be so dramatic. This is the result of normalising & excusing it.

The U.S. Secretary of Defense just stated that—so far—the war with Iran has cost $37.5 billion dollars. That's since February. That same amount is how much the United States spent on planetary science from FY2013 through FY2026 inclusive. Thirteen years of planetary science or five months of war.
The Curiosity rover on Mars. At about $2.6 billion, it buys you about ten days of Iran war.

I think this is true of the base, but not true of the average Democratic candidate or office holder. I think the GOP has made a huge (and IMO correct) bet that Democrats will simply not be able to bring themselves to use the same tactics Republicans have been abusing for the past 18 months.

Beginning of the end for the US was when the mainstream media decided it was completely out of bounds to *ever* use the word lie/liar in relation to Trump. If you are in the business of documenting truth, and your professional ethical codes requires not calling a lie a lie, you have lost the plot.
