we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen

[onion person @CantEverDie]

it continuously stuns me how rightwingers don't know how anything works at all on a systematic level so they assume nothing should be done about anything ever

a bus every 6-7 minutes is the entire secret of good transit. no schedule, no app, you just show up. the kids have been screaming the answer at us for over a year. six seveeen. headways. they're talking about headways

[Kyle Ferriter @kyle_ferriter]

Americans who visit cities built like this love it and intuitively recognize why it’s a good way to build densely that’s still pleasant for humans.

Why have we not even legalized this in the US?

Why are we stuck with the extremes? Low-density sprawl, or tall soulless towers.

Minneapolis should get the next Democrat president to set up a justice fund similar to Trump's insurrectionist fund. Reparations time yall.

the obvious thing to do here is to start on the new line, more trains the better

[Alicia, Courtyard Urbanist @UrbanCourtyard]

Yes, when environmentalists are ready to get serious about urban design for a warming world, they can revise LEED standards to stop rewarding isolated “green” buildings and start rewarding sustainable city forms that keep people cool. Like narrow shaded streets, perimeter blocks, shallow apartments with natural cross ventilation, and green, family-friendly courtyards.

The lovely game of whack a mole with our unhoused neighbors. This is not sustainable. Let’s house folks and take down this awful iron fencing.

Rogan is like the average voter in that his views completely change from year to year and he's easily taken in by every shiny new object.

[hannah gais @hannahgais]

It’s worth noting that when Jan. 6 happened, the pro-Trump right used dozens of conspiracy theories to try and offload blame from themselves—e.g., claiming it was “antifa,” “feds.” Now, they seem keen to just admit they did it—all of it—and it was good.

I feel a cold fury whenever I open a pdf of some paper to read and Adobe is like "Hm, this looks long. Would you like me to just summarize it for you?" No, fuck you, Adobe. The paper is long because it contains a lot of details that matter. Why wouldn't I want to read them?

[Tom Joseph @TomJChicago]

Trump obviously has a massive tax bill with penalties due or criminal charges that his scum admin is shutting down. His scumbag attorney, Blanche has crossed a red line. This is looting of the Treasury. Blanche will not only be disbarred. He will go to prison.

[🔰Chief Georgist Shill 🔰 @BlueRepublik]

Impeachment is not enough

The next administration must seize all Trump family assets. They have stolen too much, broke too many laws, and subverted our constitutional order

Republicans writ large must be embarrassed at the midterms, but the Trump crime family must be destroyed

[Patrick Skinner @SkinnerPm]

This is so corrupt that the lawyers who crafted this should be disbarred & removed, the acting AG who signed it should be disbarred & removed, and the president who orchestrated it all should be impeached & removed & finally at long last made irrelevant.
Staggering corruption

[Velodus✨ @velodus]

Just throwing it out there that the lane is wiiiiiiiiide open for a tech company to get insanely rich by just replicating the 2010 version of big websites like Google while explicitly stating that they hate AI.

[Jeremy Wilcox @jwilcox79]

A functioning democracy would've had Trump in prison by mid-2021.

[The Last Farm @TheLastFarm]

The very obvious conclusion here is that there should be no space at all between houses and a lot of space between towns

[Dan Cluchey @dancluchey]

I'd go a step further — this is one of the biggest presidential scandals in history! The corruption is clear, blatant, and well-documented. It could not be easier to explain to the average person; the plot of this story makes Watergate look like Mulholland Drive. Cover it!

[William B. Fuckley @opinonhaver]

This is what drives me insane about this shit. You got handed the ability to do this, they gave you people the fucking keys, and it was a disaster. You did not know what you were doing, it did not succeed, you could not perform. The outcomes were worse! You failed!

[Librarianshipwreck @libshipwreck]

At this point I’ve seen some version of the metaphor of AI as gym equipment that works out for you (so you don’t get anything out of the workout) multiple times. And I really think it’s one of the better comparisons out there. It’s simple, familiar, and people really get it.
