The Commanders told me defenses keep eating their quarterbacks so I asked how many quarterbacks they had and they said they just go to the draft and get a new quarterback afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding quarterbacks to defenses and then Dan Quinn started crying.

If you praise the Confederacy, everyone knows what you're doing. If you praise Rhodesia, though, you still get that little frisson of naughtiness, the little tingle of rebelliousness that can power you through the drudgery of your eight-hour shift at your dad's car dealership.

Reading Austin Serat from like 2002 is proving challenging because I keep responding to meditative passages about whether revenge and retribution are meaningfully different with "Ok but what about now. Sure, but like what about what's going on right now. That's true but what about these guys, now"

Thanks JG Ballard for inventing Citibike and Congestion Pricing in the 1971 issue of Drive magazine.
Nonetheless, it is obvious that ever more restrictive legislation will be enacted all over the world aimed at the control of the car, concerned not merely with factors such as safety and pollution but also with the overall social influences. Like most legislation, it will tend to be aimed at the mass rather than at the individual car. To a large extent, the future of the car will be the future of traffic.

Within the next thirty years I see an immense network of motorway systems covering the British Isles, like the rest of the industrialised world. But simultaneously we will probably see the first traffic-free areas established in cities and large towns, blocks of several square miles where the only form of transport, other than one's own legs, will be some type of battery-powered, non-exhaust emitting public vehicle. The roads into major cities will be controlled by toll gates, with premium tolls charged at holiday and peak congestion periods.

I don't want to dunk-quote on this person, but actually, this is a perfect illustration of the problem. we can't become accustomed to or expect or concede constant monitoring from armed troops as we go about our business. it should always make us recoil. there's danger in it becoming unremarkable.
screenshot of a post that reads "Not to be all "you're getting sold" National Guard troops spend all day standing in out of the way corners of DC. Not great that they're standing in front of a ballot drop box, but c'mon, people, use some common sense. They're not stopping anyone from dropping something off." it is a quote-post of a post from the DC Council that says "this is clearly not acceptable" and features a photo of national guard members standing around a ballot box in Foggy Bottom

When Edward Teller was chair of the early AEC Reactor Safeguards Committee, he was considered extremely conservative in his safety demands. His reasoning was that even one catastrophic accident could destroy all public enthusiasm for a technology he believed was important.

The Woke are coming off a down season but the core remains intact and they've called up some young talent. Advanced metrics suggest their stars were underperforming their peripherals for much of the summer. Expect contention as early as next season if they sign some high heat relief over the winter

"the AI agent can make restaurant reservations" is a really weird use case I always see pop up in writing about the personal assistant programs because this is something already very easily solved by "a website". why does it need to call anyone. all the restaurants are already on the website
