I actually love living in a time when reading ~2 books a month makes one part of the intellectual elite

[clara the urbanist @SlopHq]

the president said, out loud, at a cabinet meeting, "i don't want to drive housing prices down. i want to drive housing prices up." decades of nimby subtext just got promoted to text. at least someone is finally honest about the business model

It's fine if you listen to Morgan Wallen I just don't think you should be allowed to vote

I am glad the Bosnian flag was not displayed at this travesty of a meeting. These are two genocidal entities whose flags are fake, whose entire “nation building agenda” is based upon massacring the true nations and its people: Bosniaks & Palestinians.

[Senator Ankit Jain @senatorjain]

Is this worth it to recover a stolen car? This is why DC severely restricts police pursuits. The House has passed a bill—HR 5143–that could create dozens of these kinds of incidents a year. If you live outside DC, call your Senator and tell them to vote No on HR 5143

Real poets use quasi-mystical totally unfalsifiable beliefs alloyed with deep study of the histories of various poetries & poetic lineages. Free yourselves from trauma mediocrity NOW

[Yemisi Egbewole @yemisi]

“Eliminating fares improves public safety” is a wild claim. DC (imo) has the best Metro system in the country: clean, safe, and reliable.

Reduced fares for people who need them? Yes.

Eliminating fares entirely? Foolish and risks weakening the system we all rely on.

First they came for the em dash and I did not speak out. Then they came for the Oxford comma…

[兔兒神 @chenchenwrites]

if you’re trying to “save time” as a writer by using AI, i suggest you find another profession. it takes time to write well, time to write exciting books. it takes time to write one good poem. i’ve spent years on a single poem. the time spent learning one’s craft is everything

how it feels to listen to chairlift

[Max @maxtmcc]

75 outside in my walkable city. I went climbing and got Filipino food after. I’ve walked 10 miles today. Gas prices may be high but I wouldn’t know. I have an amount Trader Joe’s most would consider to be unreasonable. The sun is setting and the train is coming in 2 minutes.

[clara the urbanist @SlopHq]

the thing that gets people on transit isn’t free fares it’s not having to check a schedule. a bus that costs $2 and comes every 6 minutes will outperform a free bus that comes every 30 minutes every single time. frequency is the product. the fare is a rounding error

Conservatives backing themselves into a corner where they have to pretend to be excited to watch 55 year old Kid Rock on their phone at halftime tonight is funnier than anything we could say or do to them.

You know it’s been cold when 32 degrees and no wind feels like 60

If our only option is “obey the nameless masked men or die,” we do not live in a free country

[jack @actionjack69]

We literally all saw the video. Everyone on here pretending it was self defense knows they’re lying. They don’t care. We’re so far gone

[Mike Spence @ItsMikeSpence]

On June 14th Minnesota state senator Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home by a Republican official and nobody was talking about it by the weekend.
