The fallacy of the climate movement's electric car advocacy is belief it's faster to get people into EVs than into walkable homes where they can drive less. The reality is it's probably ten times faster to build homes in walkable neighborhoods than to convince people to buy electric cars.

the funniest thing about the "we don't trust the media" people is that they will trust literally anyone else. like, if you have an image and text, they'll buy it. shaking keys at babies type logic.

your response to “I was raped” should not be “I was right”
4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A Purple Woman looks distraught, on the verge of breaking down. She says “that man raped me”
Orange Guy standing next to her is absent-mindedly checking his nails. He says “Wellll, I’ve always disliked him and his work.”

Panel 2:
Purple Woman begins to cry. Orange Guy adopts an incredibly smug expression and says “Guess I must just be a good judge of character”

Panel 3: 
Purple Woman dissolves into sobs. Orange  Guy notices, puts his hand on her shoulder and says “Aw”

Panel 4:
Purple Woman crumples to the floor. Orange Guy, looking bemused, asks “Are you crying because you’re jealous of how smart I am?”

This very cool map shows the share of Americans living in a state who were A) Born Outside the US, B) Born in The US but in another state, and finally C) Born in the state between 1850 and 2020 (the last US census). Full data by year here: brilliantmaps.com/where-ame...

This reminds me in WWII the US Government contracted Steinway to build pianos (Victory Verticals) so the troop’s morale would be boosted by hearing music. Wonder if now we should also be sending instruments along with food to those in need.

Here's a map of how iron ore mined in Minnesota moves (the red lines). Note the markers for where steel facilities are located, they're where they are because you have to move the stuff on ships. There are no steel mills in Iowa of any size because you can't get the fucking stuff it's made of there

Something has been on my mind ever since the World Cup. One analysis suggested that the reason the Continent is better at the World Cup is because they have more playoffs and championship games to play while the teams on the North American continent don't really have as many chances.

the question "can computers drive?" is vastly superior to "can computers think?" because it disarms all the dorm room bullshit and reduces the question to its pragmatic implications, while also revealing that the underlying problem is one of vocabulary rather than anything metaphysical

The Rockwell plant in Palmdale where the Space Shuttles were built up. Space Shuttle Columbia is on right, waiting for her full series of modifications post STS-9, while on the left, Space Shuttle Atlantis is slowly taking shape, with much of her frame still present.

In enter of it all lies a poster that reads:
