public schools are one of those issues where I have the obnoxious opinion that basically everybody is letting ideology and prejudice cloud their opinions and neither side of the public debate are even close to "right" about what the correct policy is.

look I know milly's is new to the neighborhood, but there have been signs all over the neighborhood for weeks and the no parking signs went up yesterday at the latest. "no notice" is ridiculous.

seems like cta forgot to tell their drivers about the detour

Ian @ianofmanycolours.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

i'm not usually one to defend improperly parked cars, but wow they really fucked this sign up. it should say any time, not each date, because it's all weekend long, and it should say entire block!

the thing i really don't get about the ai race thing is like, even if the boosters are right that ai is going to take over the economy and do everything, surely being first doesn't mean you'll be the only ones with superintelligence?

a british political youtuber made a 75 minute video focused on ezra klein's interview with ta nehisi coates about how ezra klein's role in american politics is bad and she didn't even learn how to pronounce ta nehisi's name despite it being said multiple times in the interview
