The fact that there is a social stigma around being a vegan is frankly embarrassing for us as a society. At absolutely worst, veganism should be accepted as a perfectly valid lifestyle choice in a liberal society, and imo it should be seen much more positively than that

Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates. So I’m challenging him to a debate on Fox News — his safe space. I’ll go into the lion’s den. I know what I believe and I’m not afraid of hard questions. Ken has been running from accountability his whole life. It’s time to stop running.

Having bought two EVs and a hybrid, I think a big part of America’s sloth in adopt adopting EVs is car dealerships’ management being heavily Republican, and having a business model that relies on repairs that EV‘s don’t need.

maybe a hot take but my hunch here is that this is jared sucking up to Hakeem, not the other way around jared is not particularly smart, but he is one of the only ones in Trump’s circle who can actually tell which way the wind is blowing because everyone else is a depraved cultist or just an idiot

I have zero knowledge about military stuff. So correct me if I'm wrong: Basically we spent decades building up a big stockpile of advanced weapons so we could be ready for any potential conflict with China or Russia? And then Trump used ALL OF THEM in a literally aimless war with Iran?

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

"Corridor zoning" amounts to jamming low-income residents into big, bland apartment buildings alongside stroads, where they can serve as a buffer, absorbing all the noise & air pollution cars produce, protecting the precious single-family homes that dominate everywhere around them. It's abominable.

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)

it’s kind of remarkable that we’ve reached a point where free buses (a tweak that will provide a marginal value to our overall transit network) is viewed as more progressive than a sustained investment in expanding mass transit in underserved areas across the city

Why make buses free for poor and working class New Yorkers when you could instead earmark it for projects that will never happen, that might come online twenty years from now? Big brained urbanists! (not to mention the figures in the article are fantastical)

free buses are a nice perk but we should think bigger about how a billion dollars a year in new transit funding could truly transform the fabric of the city
