@AlteredAnglePB@FoxSpiritWilly@AnthonyCumia Not just New Orleans, I'm pretty sure this is fairly common throughout suburban America. At least in neighborhoods where there are people making an effort to foster community.
@KulkOliveira @OnlyfansisOP@AnthonyCumia Yes, in my experience sometimes neighbors do get annoyed when a street is blocked for a block party. But typically the issue is resolved by talking it out like adults. His reaction was unhinged and loaded with unnecessary aggression.
@EFVnation Every time we have a block party in my neighborhood the street where people are is blocked off, exactly like this, to prevent cars from running over children. Sometimes, a neighbor will ask to unblock the street and its done. This is such a wild overeaction by an unhinged man.
An interesting way of looking at HDI in America that is particularly useful when someone is comparing Norway (pop. 5.4 million) vs the entire US (pop. 332 million). Just a reminder of the high quality of life we enjoy, and that many take for granted, here in the United States.
This moment will make me smile for many years to come. What in incredible comeback for Florida, against one of the supposedly best teams ever in the NHL, after being just 59 seconds away from elimination.
@apsmunro@nytimes Those groups do exist and fought for the kids. Example: @FFXParentsAssoc
The problem is these groups were maligned by politicians and the media, while their pro-opening arguments were disqualified as anti-science and often censored.
@blackqueeriroh Even if one accepts the ridiculous premise that being fat is healthy, people still have the right to look as they want without being called somethingphobic. Does a brunette woman wanting to dye her hair blonde make her a brunettephobic?
Found this observation by Leo Tolstoy in War and Peace:
"Everything is strained to such a degree that it will certainly break,โ said Pierre (as those who examine the actions of any government have always said since governments began)."
Seems like things haven't changed.
@politicalmath With long school closures still so fresh in our memory one has to admire the tone deafness of this. Kids aren't guilty of teachers' grievances, is the dancing really necessary when your actions are mainly impacting kids? Wouldn't it be wiser to adopt a more somber tone?
@Zer0PucksGiven Huh? The American flag is not a political symbol, its a symbol of unity. Or are you suggesting there are people and/or political parties in America that are anti-America?
Joining morning meetings on Teams after a one-hour commute on public transportation is infinitely less productive than joining the same Teams meeting after a one-minute commute down the stairs.
Polls closed 48 hrs ago and several states haven't finished counting votes. How is this acceptable? Virginia and Florida allow both early voting and voting by mail and both finished counting on election night, so clearly running a competent election and a timely tally is doable.
This is basically the EU being upset that their protectionist policies and trade barriers are being emulated across the Atlantic, how shocking. https://t.co/bahfOGNzAd
@elonmusk Accuracy is a flawed metric for an application like Twitter. The aim should be maximizing free speech. Whatโs widely perceived as false may at times be unpopular truth. Human progress comes from exposure to ideas thought to be inaccurate, wrong, or outside conventional discourse.
