Engage the base. Persuade the middle. Alienate the opposition, better yet, expose precisely how sick and evil they are.

Decades of advocating for why bicycles are such a superior mode of transportation to cars couldn’t accomplish what rising gas prices are doing. I’ll take sanity any way it manifests, but just for the record: owning and driving a car has always been so much more expensive than riding a bike. 🚲💪

Let's get human again. Big Tech wants us to be judgmental a-holes so they can make more $$. "If our viral moment contributes anything to the ongoing cultural conversation about how we judge what we see online, I hope it reminds us to be more comfortable saying, “I don’t know the whole story.”"

I realized you can actually "report an issue" on Google maps, so I did. As both Apple and Mapquest have shown, they have a choice (and coding ability) to show some integrity and self-respect to revert the name of this lake to what it always has been and will be: Lake Ontario.

Just finished Alito's dissent in the mail-in voting case and... it's so stupid. Even for him. THERE'S NO LEGAL ARGUMENT. It just rests on a fundamental misunderstanding of the word "choice." It's not surprising that the man who overturned Roe doesn't understand what the word choice means, but Jesus.

Iran was treated abysmally in this World Cup. I wonder how the U.S. will feel when a future host does this to one of our teams. Because that will happen. That’s the precedent that was set.

This World Cup is totally tainted. It's simply not a fair competition when some teams get sabotaged by the host country and others don't. What's happened to the Iranians is the definition of having the goal posts moved on you. Amazing how well they've performed despite all of it.
