I would love to see ANY PARKING ENFORCEMENT AT ALL on sidewalks.

Tens of thousands of protestors are facing off against tens of thousands of police in the capital of India, as they demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner who has illegally deleted millions of people from India's electoral rolls. Biggest democracy story on the planet, not in BSky.

RTA has like a million of its own cops, but I'm still stuck behind a pickup truck in the bus lane.

Out of concerns about antisemitism, I’m joining my friend Robert Kraft in banning Israel critic Macklemore from my stadium. Here’s a link for Kanye West tickets at that same stadium. by Jerry Jones

TIL that in the car rental business "availability" is not the same thing as a car actually existing.

Remember in March 2020 how we discovered the extraordinary powers that some state constitutions give their governors in an emergency situation? And how shocked + angry certain people were about those powers? You know what, we can reconsider those powers now if we want.

This right here. I am so tired of the "what could be causing all the weather drama?" in media. Fake uncertainty is a denialist tactic.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

It strikes me as really unlikely that the "Epstein Files" do not yield evidence of crimes in state jurisdictions like NY or MD. Why are we seeing zero such prosecutions?

Ketan is making several good points here, but to me the most important thing is that percentage targets are nonsense. The only metric that matters is *how rapidly we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.* Physics doesn't care about the ratios or the increase in renewables.

sorry i’ve just completely lost patience with all the handwringing about wokeness and DEI. stop hiding behind these 21st century neologisms and just have the courage of your convictions. say you’re a segregationist. say you think the civil rights act was a mistake. go ahead!

There's something that is so much more persuasive and inspirational about just knowing what your business is and being about it, rather than chasing around people who are opposed to any changes and openly pandering to them by validating their worst impulses. Is this obvious? It seems obvious.

I don't ask for much, but can everyone please understand that EST = Eastern Standard (as opposed to Daylight) Time? So it's nonsensical to tell me a meeting is at 5pm EST today. That's not a thing.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

around 55% of Americans live in a metro area of at least a million, it is true that the median voter has no degree and the things that excite assistant professors will possibly not excite them, that doesn't mean you need to engage in the Joe the plumber cosplay, just have some basic self awareness

I don't NEVER fly, but I've passed up many opportunities for cool trips solely because of the carbon burn. And I literally never fly to Chicago / DC / NYC because Amtrak burns less carbon than air travel. So this fuckery pisses me off SO much. ONE JERKFACE is canceling 100x of what I conserved.

It's a hell of a thing to hear pundits and politicians shit-talking current refugees using the same bigoted tropes they attacked my Irish great-grandparents with. They don't just hate the Haitians, Somalis, and Congolese. They hate every decent person who is struggling.

I'll do the more substantive complaint when I get home, but honestly FFS Cleveland RTA. They re-routed the 18 bus to circumvent a few blocks of Trowbridge Avenue with no signs, no alerts, nothing on the website, no GTFS update.

BREAKING MS NOW: FBI agents on Thursday raided the Cleveland offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative — a pro-democracy organization that helps register voters in that state, according to three people briefed on the search.

This was almost a year ago. We are almost four years into the ten-year plan for "quick build safety improvements" and I'm seeing very very slight progress. Is there a second protected bike lane that I don't know about yet? www.bikecleveland.org/bike-cle/new...

This! Is a hell of an admission! Dude is saying out loud that Dems in "Ohio" could possibly "run the table" by running against data centers but *that would be bad* because they want to be able to "strike better deals" (WaPo's word choice) instead of being the "party of 'no.'" (his words) 1/
In Ohio, 71 percent of voters said in a recent poll that they support a temporary ban on data centers.

* * *

“There are folks that believe that if the Democratic Party would become a party of no data centers that a Democratic Party could … run the table,” said Chris Gibbs, chair of the Ohio Democratic Party’s rural caucus.

Gibbs said that would be shortsighted, however, and that the better path is to help communities strike better deals with tech companies so they benefit more financially from the centers’ presence.

“Just to be the party of ‘no’ all the time I don’t think is good for the Democratic Party’s future,” Gibbs said.

It really is wild how like ⅓ of the people I know want to get into the weeds of high-level Dem party electioneering tactics when *literally nobody asked them.* Support trans people as a goal and a value, because it's the right thing. Not as a tactic or a bargaining chip. JFC.

Funny story here. About 25 years ago, seriously, I had a contract gig to solve a very specific problem. It was an industrial company that had a software-based time clock at their various factories, and that software was so slow that it was delaying workers from clocking in. 1/

Love it or hate it, the gerrymandering in Virginia is the result of a process in which all of the state constitution's rules were followed. Hate it or love it, the ongoing (decades of) gerrymandering in "Ohio" is the result of party bosses utterly and illegally ignoring the state constitution.

Ideal: You try to do a great job. Less ideal: You try to look like you're doing a great job in the eyes of your boss. Much worse: You try to look like you're doing a great job in the eyes of the AI agent, which really only processes clichés and will issue demerits for any unexpected behavior.

Counterpoint: No we do not need answers about strategy. We need the war to end now, because wars of aggression are wrong. You can't justify a war crime by citing "strategy" no matter how brilliant or clever it may sound.
Post from Tom Nichols: "A good example of why we need answers about strategy: We're destroying refineries and oil production. If the goal is to immiserate the Iranians..." and there's more but my point is made.
