Message from a friend in response to one of many memes I shared illustrating how much of the US has just been turned into a parking lot/retail slum/automobile landscape. The truth in this statement is unreal - forced car-dependency is the ultimate example of lack of choice.
We re-watched all of Seinfeld very quickly and last night I dreamt a new episode. It was so vivid that I immediately wrote it down after I woke up. Here it is to the best of my memory. Bear in mind, I came up with this WHILE UNCONSCIOUS....
@How2Drink If you're soliciting ideas, I'd love something around the various contraindications with, say, grapefruit juice/soda/bitters and antidepressants. Tie into that trend for activated charcoal etc?
There’s a ghost on the corner of 3rd and Broadway
I noticed him the other day, as I made a left turn at the light.
He wasn’t there a week ago.

A thread.
I keep seeing people saying (in response to whatever political fuckery of the day) "our country is better than this".

@nottrobin I think it's incredibly important to find the good and hold it high, but we can't keep saying "this isn't us" every time, when we really mean "this isn't what we should be". Celebrate the victories, but don't write the travesties off as outliers when there's a pattern
