I like interesting people, places, and things.

Fact

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

We still too often describe streets as “closed” when cars are removed, instead of calling them OPEN to people.

Does taking away cars make this street seem open or closed to you?

@Marytesche 2024?

[Ohun Ashe 🌻🌼🌞 @Ohun_Ashe]

Your ballot is so much bigger than the presidential candidates so honestly that “lesser of two evil” argument has no validity. Go vote on local matters then.

[Eileen Collins @CollinsEileen]

@Marytesche Yes

[Harris County Elections Department @HarrisVotes]

As of now, over 128,000 people voted in Harris County today! This is a historic day for us, that number is the highest turnout on a single day.

Polls will be open tomorrow from 7AM to 7PM. Find locations and hours at https://t.co/CHOc7VF4vL. #HarrisVotes #Election2020

When Trump glorifies one, we inevitably get the other.

If you don’t see how uplifting the McCloskeys emboldens people like Kyle Rittenhouse then you’re not paying attention.

10AM SATURDAY: NHC now calls for Marco and Laura's tracks to criss-cross. Marco will cross the Gulf first, Laura follows a day or two later. Houston is now in the cone for both. https://t.co/kYz1z4P7gd

1) The VA signed a $34.5 million deal for N95 masks with a company that advertised “block chain” solutions and had only existed for 2 years.

I called the company to see why

Ended up on a private jet, following one of the most bizarre stories of my career …

What if we used this opportunity to radically restructure working life in America?

[Peter Chiykowski @rockpapercynic]

I, for one, would like to thank the Queen for making her royal address and providing the nation with something it sorely needs right now...

The perfect Photoshop bait...

In no hospital in New York will a woman be forced to be alone when she gives birth.

Not now, not ever.

Question from @AK_OK : "Huber had just said it's the governor's job to lead this discussion. I mean, what meeting did the governor have to go to? What meeting is more important than the budget?"

Turner: "He had another obligation, I'm sorry. ... We're outta time." #akleg #akgov

[Jerome Alexander Horne @jahorne]

"I live in a city and yet I don't want density." "I don't want to pay higher taxes yet I don't understand why there are potholes everywhere." "Why is traffic bad? Why aren't these people on transit that I voted not to fund?"

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

A study scrutinized how 10 types of gun laws—alone and in combination—affect homicides and suicides.

What did researchers find? Not only does gun control work—but particular kinds of gun-control measures are more effective than others. #citylabarchive https://t.co/FB53TuuC55

It feels like forever ago that every single news cycle wasn’t dominated by Trump. I can’t wait until this nightmare of a presidency is over.
