God fucking dammit: Nashville Symphony is suspending their 2026-27 season and furloughing everybody. Because it’s not like anybody in Nashville could afford to save it, right? We’re just a smol bean, golly gee, nobody’s got world-class Grammy-winning orchestra money round these here parts

If you or someone in your house is not trans, the only thing you should ever think about trans kids is “How might I brighten their day should I come across one?” Beyond that, you’re a fucking weirdo who is extremely useful to nazis.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

My pitch is that we redirect the contract $$$ that is currently going to SpaceX into a “Parents of Middle School Students Fund.” We see what happens when we lavish one specific group of parents with resources. Like the kind of comprehensive support only billionaires have experienced.

I know there are small transportation nonprofits for seniors and disabled folks, but are there nonprofits that operate where public transit doesn’t have infrastructure/vehicles? Like one that operates a handful of shuttle buses, passenger vans, or one full size bus to augment an existing system?

Not chiming in on the weird “Inshallah appropriation” discourse, but when I worked with elementary students my favorite Arabic phrase was “astaghfurullah” which I thought meant “god forbid.” I could’ve easily asked anyone at the school what it meant, but I was sure I’d figured it out in context.

Now you can have your own record of "Timetable Mable"

This, the finest news story ever published, has once again appeared in my inbox, and it would be rude not to share it.
THRASHED BY A LADY CYCLIST.
WHO IS NOTED FOR HER ATHLETIC POWERS.
[SUBJECT OF ILLUSTRATION.]
AN extraordinary scene was witnessed on Seturday morning in Peel Lane, a thoroughfare connecting Little Hulton with lyldesley, in which the principal participants were a young lady cyclist and a youth of nineteen or twenty. The lady was riding at a good pace, and when in a quiet part of the road the young man, who had apparently been imbibing, stepped into the roadway, and, addressing some insulting remarks to the cyclist, made as if he intended pulling her of the machine. She immediately alighted caught hold of the astonished youth, and gave him& sound thrashing, using her tists in scientitie fashion, to the delight of several colliers who were passing. The young man made off, and the cyclist, who is believed to be a Bolton lady noted for her athletic powers, rode off towards Tylesley.Drawing of the scene as described in the previous image. A young lady is using her fists in a scientific fashion to beat the living shit out of the Archbishop of Banterbury, a drunk young man who tried to accost her for reasons of being an absolute tit. In the background, some seven local workers roar their encouragement.

This is a handy chart that shows the effects of increased speed on visibility and on pedestrian risk.
A graphic that says Why Speed Matters

Below that are two stats:

Drivers yield 75% of the time while traveling 20 mph
Drivers yield only 17% of the time when traveling 37 mph

The next line shows that drivers have a much wider field of vision at 15 mph as compared to 30 to 40 mph.

Finally, there are three stats:

9 out of 10 pedestrians survive when hit by a car traveling 20 mph
5 out of 10 survive at 30
1 out of 10 surive at 40
