Ah yes another beautiful morning, time to decide if I want to be informed and frozen in panic, or willfully ignorant with a numbing background dread

For the price of letting 10 cops continuously violate NYers rights, we could have installed 2,615 Bioswales.

2,615 of them would be able to collect over 196 MILLION gallons of water & keep it from flooding our streets, subways, and homes.

Letting NYC flood is a policy choice.

I LITERALLY stopped working on my memo so I could read this indictment.

I am on page 24 and JESUS LUPITA NYONG'O CHRIST.

HOW this man still has the capacity to shock me after everything that's happened, i'll never know.

but I am sitting here *STUNNED*.

But connecting regions or cities doesn't necessitate building highways *through* the cities.

And designing a new city around an existing highway is one thing; redesigning an old city around a new highway is something else entirely.

So why did it happen?

Not a single drop of water is getting past that bad boy.

At JFK. Guy behind the counter asks for a volunteer to give up a seat for $500. Nothing. "$550." The crowd suddenly coalesces to shout "HIGHER!" like it was a game show. "$750" "HIGHER! "800!" "NOT IN NEW YORK! GO HIGHER!" They applauded the elderly woman who took it at $1100.

[Brandon Bradford @BrandonLBradfor]

Stop treating conservatives as "people who want in their hearts to be liberals but are waiting on the right argument." The mistake is thinking we all believe in the same fundamental rights. If you are going to change minds, you have to understand their base assumptions first.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

Sometimes it's hard to know why prices are going up. Between the oil shock, a tight employment market and the climate polycrisis, is it even possible to tell if companies are using the widespread *belief* in inflation to hike prices? Uh, yeah, we *absolutely* can. 1/

Ten things twitter folks know about Covid that people on the streets don't.

"...for the last 16 years, most research on Alzheimer’s and most new drugs entering trials have been based on a paper that, at best, modified the results of its findings to make them appear more conclusive, and at worst is an outright fraud."

Think of Monkeypox less as Chickenpox+ and more as Smallpox with HIV epidemic messaging and you'll get a pretty good idea of where things are headed

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

Time to start noticing who and what groups are spending their time attacking critiques of wealth and power rather than authoritarianism. There’s a very good reason for it.

Time to start recognizing we’re in the accepting oppression stage of this crisis.

[In the Bubble @inthebubblepod]

.@ASlavitt hears from @adamconover to learn what he argues was a primary barrier to COVID-19 vaccination rates in some of the poorest counties in the US: the steady defunding of public health efforts over the last half-century.
